imageYesterday, we talked all about Administrative Professionals’ Day and how great it was.  We all agreed that stopping once per year to thank the Admin Support and Secretaries of your work was a good thing. 

Today, I want to know how you  celebrate your Information Technology Professionals!  How do you thank your ITs?

Today, our Information Thought of the Day (ITTOD) is a poll subject.

I would like your answers to the following poll today.  Tomorrow, I will share my hope for this topic with you!

What is the best day to thank an IT?

I like a good joke as much as the next person. I especially like humorous jokes tied to technology and the Information Age.  It is hard to find good IT jokes, but I try.  Saturdays, I try very hard to honor the weekend by making my posts have a humorous bent.

This week’s joke is a gift from Kiss My Floppy.  You have to love that name!  They have some jokes, photos, and funny stories.  I hope that you both enjoy it and go to their site to see all the other funny IT jokes that they have.

I am sure that every Information Technology Professional has funny stories from working with coders and software developers.  They can be a very gifted and creative bunch!

Comments made by Programmers when their programs don’t work:

  1. Strange…
  2. I’ve never heard about that.
  3. It did work yesterday.
  4. How is this possible?
  5. The machine seems to be broken.
  6. Has the operating system been updated?
  7. The user has made an error again.
  8. There is something wrong in your test data.
  9. I have not touched that module!
  10. Yes yes, it will be ready in time.
  11. You must have the wrong executable.
  12. Oh, it’s just a feature.
  13. I’m almost ready.
  14. Of course, I just have to do these small fixes.
  15. It will be done in no time at all.
  16. It’s just some unlucky coincidence.
  17. I can’t test everything!
  18. THIS can’t do THAT.
  19. Didn’t I fix it already?
  20. It’s already there, but it has not been tested.
  21. It works, but it’s not been tested.
  22. Somebody must have changed my code.
  23. There must be a virus in the application software.
  24. Even though it does not work, how does it feel?
  25. How come you didn’t find it during the system testing?
  26. It’s a setup problem.

What do you think?  Do you know of any other good IT joke sites or artists?  Do you have any IT humor to share?  Have a great weekend.

Dr. Stephen Hawking is a genius and his thinking on all topics is worth pause and reflection.  His ability to explain the complexities of science at an understandable level has always amazed me.  This man is no insightful that we are giving him a second IT Quote of the Week spot!

I like Information Age quotations.  I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week.  I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time.

Here is my quote of the day:

“I think computer viruses should count as life.  I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive.  We’ve created life in our own image.”
Dr. Stephen Hawking

You can learn more about our quote source at Wikipedia.

So how do you think that this relates to Information Technology?  How do you think that it could be important to Information Technology Professionals?

Do you like quotations? Do you collect them, too?  What did you think of when you read this one?  Do you agree or disagree with it?  Please comment below.
