From time to time my work in IT has caused me to mutter things that make no sense.
Today's example: I just received the 3rd revision to the final version of the specifications.

...and still waiting for the final revision to the final version of the specifications.
|
|
|
|
|
The part that doesn't make sense is the final version of the specifications
We all know there is no "final" version of specifications

There is actually a final version of specifications*

I'd be happy with just that

Half the damn time there isn't a first version of the specification!
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Most of the time my specifications are this:
Make it like project X, except it'll be different.
Of course they can't explain what is different, so I spend a couple hundred hours making something only to have to throw half of it out and do it again...

Every revision of a specification is the final version of that specification. The revision you get tomorrow is a new specification.

During a recent product release cycle, we made it to RC13. Yes, release candidate 13.

Another idea that Apple stole from Microsoft.
I'm sure Apple's version will be 'revolutionary' and 'ground breaking'.
The next version of iOS will offer the screen in 6 new exciting colors.
Microsoft will then try to surpass Apple by displaying animated kittens on their blue screens.
The people at Ask will publish a 'blue screen helper' task bar that will be automatically downloaded every time Java updates.
A patent troll will file a lawsuit claiming the blue screen was his idea.
Someone out of Asian will successfully market an 8x11 sheet of light blue paper as an ultra thin tablet. It will be the most useful tablet ever created because you can at least wipe your arse with it.
NSA will spend 4 billion dollars trying to figure out how to hack a sheet of paper.
And so on...

You are quite the visionary.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Big ripe tomato, baby onion, freshly ground peppercorns, cumin seeds, amchur, corriander seeds, some garlic pods, tiny pinches of chilli powder and turmeric powder. Garnished with herb seasoning and coriander leaves.
15 minutes spent, but it's delicious.

I'm going to give you points for the humour, but there's more.
But yeah, I'm not a chef, and I'm not "presenting" this dish to anyone. It's for my consumption, and I know it for a fact that every ingredient is fresh and healthy.
It's far more better than the canned sorry stuff sold in supermarkets in the name of soup. I reckon you may prefer that instead?

... stewing steak, onions, garlic, beans [no idea what type], carrot, sweet pepper, hot pepper, black pepper, salt, other herbs [random choice], paprika.
In the pressure cooker last night for 2 hours, God's Own today.
And there's enough to keep me lunched for a week or two in the pot that is heading towards the freezer.
