Funniest Program Bug
« on: February 17, 2008, 07:49:30 PM »
I once spent ages trying to track down a bug in a program I wrote. Finally I found that I had written isset(context['user')) instead of isset(context['user']). I typed a round bracket instead of a square one. And what made it even funnier - hang on while I get my breath - is that the round and square brackets are not even on the same key!!!!!!!  :-\ :D

I did laugh.

So what's your funniest computer program mistake?

There's no way I'm competing with YOUR computer bloomers, Mince! That was HILARIOUS!!!! I'm not letting you away with this---how did you feel when you realised you'd typed in a ROUND bracket? (I STILL can't believe you did that!!!!)

I could reprogram this site so that all your posts end with the words "I love wearing stockings and short skirts."

Only a complete computer nerd would do that though.  ::)
