Probably not - the cheese-and-meat-thing wouldn't go down too well in Israel, and Dominos would probably recruit a mercenary army (on heavily armoured mopeds, natch) to prevent the consumption.

This is why I fitted a condom to both aerials of my router this morning.
And rubbed it with Goose-grease and camphorated oil, then covered it with a piece of flannel just to be sure.

Should we ask why you had all those things handy?

Goose fat makes excellent roast potatoes;
Camphorated oil is good as a rub for chesty coughs;
A flannel is good for washing ones face in the morning.
The condoms I will leave to your imagination!

This is really bugging me.
I'm building a component that is basically a message broker.
The broker has a set of services, which in turn have agents for different messages that are actually dealt with by plug in process components.
I'm happy with the way it sits together, but I am not happy with the names I have:
- Broker = top level component. It was called Server, but that doesn't sit with Service
- Service = logical grouping of message agents that can talk directly to each other [there is a separate protocol for out of server interfacing]
- Agent = handles individual messages including their state
- Process = plug-ins to process different messages; this is where all the business logic lives.
I just think the names could be better. The whole thing is set up with config, so these names become important; well I think they do. Any suggestions?
Go on then, trivialise the whole thing and suggest I just call them John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Isn't it a great feeling when you find the true name of your graphics processor and it responds when you summon it?

Not very exntensible. I used characters from "The Love Boat" once, and eventually had to add parts of the ship.

I used to work with this idiot who named all his routines after Disney characters.
BALR 8,GOOFY Yeah, S/370 Assembler.
Worse yet, the shop I worked at did not believe in comments. "The code tells you what it is doing." Of course it does, but not why.
I didn't stay more than a year there, writing code they couldn't understand nor appreciate because it far more advanced than what they were doing. Even though I wrote it with comments. They thought MACROs were only for libraries instead of your applications. One application I did was 70% MACRO generated and that blew their minds. I used variable named register assignments and that messed with their hardwired brains even more.
BALR RTN,PRINT Sorry of the rant, I believe names for code are too important and agonize over them as well. I'm not criticizing you either, your comment just triggered a bad memory about bad practices.

And I thought I'm the only idiot spending half of his development time on making self explanatory names...
I'm glad not to be alone...
But really, Service-Agency-Agent-Process can be good...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Seriously? The PM doesn't control the House of Commons let alone the Lords. But this gives me an idea - Possessor, Dominus, Exactoris & Servus.
