Modern Day Cusring
time to read 1 min | 96 words
Cusring is traditionally related to discussing what your ancestor did with the goat, but I think that there are a lot of options that are ignored in the modern world. Here are a few that I was able to use today in front of my brother:
- May you be stuck in traffic.
- May your iPod's battery die just before a 12 hours flight.
- May you get home after a late night, and find that there is no parking in three miles range.
- May you have to learn SQL as a self defence.
Any creative ideas?

May your unit tests fail right before a checkin in front of a three week vacation.
@ Grimace,

LOL
Maybe you be forced to argue against Ayende :)
May you write unit test for JavaScript.
May you have to use VSS as source control.
May your company's cafe machine be broken on Monday.
May your credit card expire.
Ive got one:
how about 'may you maintain a system where the client is too cheap to pay for the freakin time to upgrade NHibernate past V1 and .NET past 2003'!?
Sure a lot as an WTF IT person :)
MS took your OSS product and incorporate with their Orcas (or any newer version of VS 2005) and brand it as Mock Foundation Framework, without any acknowledgement of the source while the API is 99.99% similar (think about NUnit/MSTest...)
Your hosting provider reboots the SQL server the 6th times today and lost the changes in between, saying 'my apology of your data loss' and give you the T&C stating 'No responsibility made on any kind of data loss'
You have finished the project 3 months before time but your client still have no time to review your project and pay you the project money. The reason is they are trying to use pursuade their customers to use a new business flow and your software are being used as the political tool to achieve such goal- you don't know how many 3 months you still have to hang around to get things finished.
Still not enough? How about when you just bought the new HP servers into your office and finally get ready to migrate your old servers, then all a sudden from the old servers' jealousy they decided to cease working right before you finished the last mile backup from the old server. You take out the old server backup tape and try to do a restore drill, realize its' not workable for miserable reason (Indeed I stll haven't figure this out yet...)
If you want to get away from all these, better change your job field...
May your car's air condition fail while you are stuck in traffic.
May your PC crash after opening 10 browser windows.
May you sit next to an infant on your next flight.
May your cell phone be stolen while waiting for an important call.
I could go on all day :)
I really like May you use VSS as a source control, but let me do it better
May thou be forced to use VSS over an internet VPN for source control in a solution with about 40 projects.....
Gian Maria.
May your PC crash just before sending a long and important e-mail.
May you have to pair program with Mr. I'm Always Right.
May you lose your remote control.
May you get stuck in the elevator/toilet.
Bonus points if it is with noisy & smelly people.
More bonus points if you are late for an important meeting and your cellphone is dead.
