The same goes to me, too. In this forum, I can proudly say that "programmers/developers have no life" thing is not true!
Programmers/developers live in an awesome life. No one would ever know it unless they are like us.

I was just thinking, you should write some articles, if they are useful then they chug along contributing to your rep every time someone downloads them, then I checked your profile - oops!

Congratulations, Sri Sandeep,
Here on CodeProject there are great differences between individuals in terms of talent, experience, skill, technical mastery, and the ability to be articulate in the English language which is required to be used here, but, we are all part of a community of people who can learn from each other, teach each other, and help each other improve.
As community, we will never be "perfect," or have "perfect justice;" and, all the negative imperfections of the human condition will be manifested here, sometimes amplified in intensity by the somewhat de-personalized technology that is our means of communication, but:
So much more wonderful than the inevitable "down-side" is the fact that such a community exists, and is a fabulous playground for the minds of millions of people, world-wide !

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

CM's new toy. It's development platform including - so far - a git machine and task manager, arranged into workspace. So of us - unfortunately got access to it to test and play. I believe that you also can - if there is more place. Ask for in the Bugs an Suggestions if you interested...
(It also became - slowly - the storage place for article's code...)
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I'm looking for advice on how to deal with a problematic stakeholder/boss. If your advice has anything to do with quitting or leaving, save your breath. I'm well aware of that option. I'm interested in hearing ways to salvage the project.
I joined a small business whose owner wanted to replace their failing DOS-based ERP with an ASP.NET solution. (Awesome, right?)
My boss, the owner, is a 60 yr old, stocky bulldog whose tenacity is at the core of his successful business. Around the office he has the reputation for being a meddlesome teddy-bear.
I am the only in-house developer. The biggest problem is that I can't seem to find a way to communicate with the owner. He has yelled at me multiple times for asking questions and drawing diagrams  . He has shut down my attempts to understand the business, making it nearly impossible to put a game plan together. He doesn't understand the process of software development and constantly says things like, "Do we really need to do all that? Can't you just start with the first screen?"
"Sure - what do you want the first screen to do?"
"Exactly what it does right now?"
"But it doesn't really suit the way your staff does business."
"Well, we'll change the parts that don't work?"
"Ok - How? What parts don't work? How should-"
"Look we can just deal with that later. Let's just start building the first screen and go from there."
I tried to explain that I need to understand the processes that I'm trying to support before I can 'design a screen'. Exasperated, the owner grabbed a fresh-out-of-college graphic designer in marketing and told her that she would be designing the layout and workflow of the new app. 
A few weeks later I received a mock-up of a giant page with a billion fields and no discernible purpose. The owner loved it. He stopped by and generously asked me if there was anything I'd change. 
How would you turn this into a win?
Subversively talk to staff, build a plan in secret and slowly evolve the graphic artist's shotgun layout into the more appropriate design by pointing out flaws one at a time? Is it worth the effort?
Just wire it up like the owner wants and let the flaws become self-evident?

Well, the obvious thing to me is that the UI mockup won't be addressing edge cases - there's an education process that needs to be done here, so start off by working out what a couple of the edge cases are and asking how they would be addressed. One of the things I would address with him is the fact that a wrong design decision now will end up costing a lot more further down the line, and the processes you are following are designed to save him pain and money in the longer term.
As we don't know what the business is, we can't offer much in the way of advice - but there's probably something analogous in his business that he has to approach properly otherwise it will go "belly up" for him. In other words, relating things to him in a way that's familiar will make it much easier to sell it to him.

Thanks -- good food for thought. Teach and train. I see a lot of deep breaths ahead, but seeing this thing work will be very rewarding.
I like your suggestion about finding ways to relate to him. We are such completely different people... That's going to be tricky.

I regularly go through exercises like this with my clients. It's frustrating at first, but ultimately it's rewarding.
