You've been programming too long when | |
When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...". When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits. When your wife says "If you don't turn off that darn machine and come to bed,then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for for omitting the else clause. When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the next page. When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys /dev/pockets" When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number. When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the floor you want. When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one. When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal. When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors. |

Check out the big brain on John!
Although you seriously know more about technology that I do, I'll input this. I tell peoople that ask me how something works with regard to technology or the web, "I'd tell you more, but I don't want your brain to hemorage".
You know the look - that glassy eyed look ..... and you've merely been referencing the intricate way to assemble code to accomplish a basic task, and delivered it plainly as if you were explaining how to make breakfast toast. It's not really THAT painful, is it? :)
