(discussing what it would be like if other professions got "Indiana Jonesed")
SeySayux: I'd have an idea for a quadriology centering about a sysadmin if you want... "The Bug Tracker", "The Bug Tracker: Return of Trac", "The Bug Tracker: Bugzilla's Revenge", "The Bug Tracker: Jira's Reign"
SeySayux: It would involve more violence than you think.
SeySayux: Starring:
SeySayux: SeySayux as "root"
SeySayux: Debian 5 as "The Operating System"
SeySayux: Apache HTTPD as "Web Server"
SeySayux: GCC as "Compiler"
SeySayux: And featuring a brief cameo of Windows 7 as "Incarnation of Pain"
SeySayux: "What is this writing?" - "It's an ancient tome written in an unknown language. He who can wield it has unimaginable powers over the Bug Trackers. The Old Ones had a word for it: a Manual". "Then we must decypher this Manual! It's our only chance!" "Not so fast, young beetle. No one has ever decyphered a Manual."
SeySayux: "Take the Manual now, and leave". As soon as root touches the manual, the dungeon starts to collapse. In fear he almost drops the manual, as strange, otherwordly beings come falling through the ceiling as comets. "What's going on?" "No time. Take the Manual and run." root and his mentor run as fast as they can through the narrow passages. "What were those?" "Error Messages." "Error Messages?" "Protectors of the Manual." "Aaargh!" shrieks root, as the Error Messages are coming after him in the tunnel. "They protect the Manual from those that they do not deem worthy."
SeySayux: "In here", says the mentor, when he drags root into a sideways passage. Just when they turn, the ceiling behind them collapses, blocking the error messages but also the exit. "Are they... gone?" "For now. Error messages cannot be killed. They will start multiplying, unless we do something." "What a--" "That is not our concern now. Our primary concern is getting out of here. Then we can deal with those pesky errors." |
