Magic!

Posted on August 25, 2010 by LeSombre

This is pretty much what a client showed me yesterday to explain the project he wanted me to do for him.

I’m not kidding.

    You have to remember Arthur C Clarke 3 law of prediction:

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    All he wants you do do is to make something he does’nt understand :-)

    Are you magic too? I thought it was just me!

    Magic costs extra. It also requires that the customer supply the Fairie Dust*.

    * Other forms of magic powder may be substituted, but their acceptability is at the descretion of the developer/engineer/magician.

    @Patrek: Wery wise.

    @Finn: Damn, I thought it was just me!

    @Ren: The funniest thing about your comment: LovelyWife said the exact same thing.

    @Sheila: I’m running low on glitter. Send some?

    @Sybil Law: Who said there was a problem? :-)

    Well, if anyone can produce magic, you can. Or do we all need to clap our hands like we do with Tinker Bell to make your magic happen? Heh. When I hear “magic happens” I think of Cribs on MTV when they talk about their bedrooms. I’ve gotten off point haven’t I?
