Howard told Sal that he shouldn't expect Beth not to be upset with him about something like that because it was a rough joke to make about her.

2006-12-17 Thread Sammy Dailey
One of the guys is saying that he gave Anna the house thinking that she was
going to pay him for it.
Sal wondered why he has to be the one who Beth doesn't like. He went through
just a couple and said that he had gotten a ton of feedback about that and
everyone seems to have loved it.
Captain Janks  said that there's one moment on the Gary Roast where Sal said
something about Beth and Howard gave him a look like he wanted to kill him. He
said this is their first real argument and he doesn't want her growing it
back. Gary told Howard that Jon Hein told him about letting his kids hit the
buttons randomly in the voting machines when he seen a bunch of names he
doesn't recognize. She joked that she was going to go wash her horse face and
get going. Howard said maybe it's that he's talking about kids or something.
Howard said that Gary actually got off pretty easy with the roast because
people were concentrating on other people. The guy said that he's also now a
sponsor of the show. Borat Movie Discussions.
Howard said he and Beth have been having an argument over whether or not she
should grow the hair back on her bush. Howard told Gary to book him to do the
show because he'd be a great guest.
Artie said it's called a Goupoline.
He said it was really depressing and he's not even sure what happened because
the movie made no sense to him. Howard thought that was bad news but Artie
said they should be able to edit it in any way, it shouldn't make much
difference. Howard said that's fine but Beth will never have him over after he
says something like he did. That's what his mother has called it for all these
years, he wasn't sure if that was the right name for it or not.
Howard wanted to get his girlfriend on the phone to find out if she's okay but
Gary wasn't able to get in touch with her.
Howard told him he was just kidding when he told him to roast her more.
Robin said she saw this movie ''The Prestige'' and really liked that.
He said that Dice got kind of distracted by the people yelling out his name so
he actually had some people thrown out because they wouldn't stop.
He said he's not that demanding usually but maybe this is too much for her.
Howard said he heard some of the stuff that went on and was going to bring
that up himself.
Artie said he can't wait for Thursday so he can bust on Crazy Alice.
She said that they'll be talking about Artie and the Dice Man's comedy show
from Saturday night.
Howard told Gary to book him to do the show because he'd be a great guest.
Sal came in and said that the roast is a way for comedians to get under
people's skin.
Howard played some clips of Dice trying to get past the people in the crowd
who were chanting Artie's name. He had to play that one clip before going to
break. Sal said he knows that Artie is just joking about that stuff though.
She said she has a real complex about her looks and comments like that really
hurt.
He also talked about how tough it was to do anything at K-Rock by the time
they were leaving.

 Bring in another dev. company...
 (the good news is, this one seems to be MUCH better.)


We had something even better.  My guy developed a working prototype, in less
than a month (1 weeks spent getting specs, another week spent getting the
java servlet engine working - this is back in the late 90s, another week
developing the database schema) - actual coding time was less than a week.

Our users loved it.  Instead of consulting a bunch of books (govt paperwork)
as tall as I was, and as wide as 10', they could have just used the browser,
and get the results back in a split second.  We just had to enter the data,
ONCE.

Mgmt put it on hold.  Demoed to customer.  Customer loved it.  Instead of
taking/buying our work, customer shopped that concept out.  The new company
took over a year to get the specs, could not deliver any working prototype,
and had a $4.5mil contract.

Best part of the story - customer (fortune 100 transportation company)
bought us - so, effectively, they owned the source code.

My total cost - $1k for an IDE that we later decided not to use.

Man - like what they say - what we need is less corruption, or more chances
to participate in it.

Why waste an extra shell process not to mention all that extra typing?

#!/bin/echo 'Hello World!'

On the other extreme...

Hire a company to develop an app.
Add $18k Java application server license to make it easy to program.
Add $9k IDE to make the easy to program stuff easy to program.
Add five more programmers from the programming company (and five more
  IDE licenses) when timeline starts to slip.
Wonder why you never have to buy the carpenter's tools when they
  build your house.  Or the plumbers tools.  Or...
Notice that the $9k tool these carpenters use is made by the
  carpenters themselves.
Upgrade RAM in all the developers machines (which you ALSO  provided)
  to 2G of RAM, because the IDE takes 1.5G just to load.  Delete all
  emacs jokes from local disk).
Wonder why carpenters who built that IDE didn't know that it needed
  that much RAM.  Or couldn't diagnose why their machines were so slow
  without it.
Look at pathetic result.  Coulda been done in perl, Apache and vi, 'cept
  it would have worked, then.
Show development company the door.  Make sure it hits 'em in the butt.
Realize that after $63k in IDE licenses, the development company STILL
  made money on the deal, and trained a bunch of their people on their
  product (and our dime)

Bring in another dev. company...

vendor to demonstrate a hello world program.  I was not impressed).
