No, no. You didn't understand - I wouldn't touch a WYSIWYG editor with a 40 foot pole. I just can't work with something that tries to generate any kind of code for you - I must write the code myself. The guys who used it and screwed everything up were the goddamned webdesigners (I'm not speaking of webdesigners in general, okay?) who insisted in modifying the pages with Dreamweaver Ultradev, which subsequently caused major problems to any and all JSP code contained inside the html. things as page breaks in the middle of variable names, funcion calls, messing up with taglibs, all sorts of nasty stuff. The funny thing is that after everything was screwed up, they'd start with the "But it's not my fault! This tool is made to work with dynamic pages! You must have done something!!" routine. Tsk, tsk.

If you want clean, efficient and working code, you code it yourself.
Probably away. Contact through email.

No, stick with the job. Do you know how long that Maytag guy's been with them... like forever!

Job stability... that's what you want... trust me. :nod:

Joe.
No, he's not back for real, just popping his head in to say "hello" while on break from classes.

No not an Apache Longbow, an Westland Apache. Upgraded and improved to the max over the American version. While they try and get their useless stealth tech working.
Put me in my F-22 and watch your ass fry.

And you call yourself a geek...

I'm "unemployable". Meaning a hobo in the making. Life is good.

Possibly somebody will give me a telecommuting graphics design job at some point, if they don't find out I'm 16. Until then, odd manual labor jobs are the only ones I'm likely to get.;)

Joe, if I could stomach the place much longer, I would.

Unfortunately, management is... well... The board will censor the accurate terms. My boss recently fired three people because we are 'in financial difficulty' (his words, not mine), and somehow, the squat little baldheaded hobgoblin managed to buyout another company AND hire a new programmer.

Stability is not an adjective I would use to describe my work environment.
[I am not really here. This post is entirely a figment of your imagination.]

Thank you Zeronet for filling me in :yes:
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
