Getting Your Boss To Buy Lava Lamps

jarich writes "Mike Clark's blog provides directions and code on how to wire up lava lamps to your build system. When a compile or test fails, the red lava lamp gets switched on... The delay in the lamp heating up gives you a few minutes to fix things before it becomes obvious to co-workers that you broke the build. His example uses CruiseControl but you could easily modify it. Very cool stuff and inexpensive to setup."

    you're exactly what you hate... a fucking lazy fratboy, fatboy prima donna.


    You really shouldn't post while intoxicated. Especially to people who weigh 100 kilos (only 5, mybe 10 is beer gut), brown belt judo, rugby prop & football lineman, who worked their way through college as a bouncer.

    You're the coward, who thinks it's fun to pop someone's eardrum by attacking them when they're not looking.


    I'm sorry your life is nothing but a disappointment
    Well I'm not sorry. But them my life isn't a disappointment (you should check your mindreading software. Like you, it doesn't work). After all, *my* job didn't get outsourced because I was acting like a cunt instead of working.
    Besides, one day you may just talk shit to the wrong person.
    Oh, I have. Two policeman with guns - drawn and aimed at my head - that's the last time I gave up without a fight. That was after I'd bitchslapped some spic for jumping the line at the supermarket. I won in court, though - unecessary force.

    Anyway, thanks for bringing a smile to my face.
    Don't thank me for that, lardboy. Thank me that you still can smile. Now go study for your SAT in between flipping burgers. Cuntbag.

    lol, a racist who can't even spell "paki"
    LOL, an anti-semete who can!

    I hope they come for your job first.
    I doubt it. I own 15% of the company and we all consider personal hygine to be quite important.
