Just because you're insecure

Things only geeks find funny:

The office I work in on Wednesdays is in a serviced block run by a company called Pure.

I recently discovered they offer virtual offices.

Heh. But did you actually try to instantiate one, to see if it really was?

The 'on Wednesdays' bit reminds me of the legendary program that would only work on Wednesdays. (Very old. The docs for the system routine to return day of the week said it needed 8 chars but actually wrote 12. Six days a week, that overwrote the buffer, causing a crash. The overwritten memory was being used to store a 'y' to compare to user input ... and on Wednesdays that's exactly what got overwritten there.)

Well, at the moment our office seems to be in a different room every week, so I suppose we're renting an abstract base office.

I love the Wednesday story, I've not heard that before.

And one mid-90s kudo to you!
