Documentation Writing

[lynxreign]

I'm currently writing "future programmer" documentation for the program I'm working on. This documentation is intended to give future developers an idea of what the program does and what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately, my fingers don't seem to want to type properly today. I keep typing versions of the text that seem like they come right out of Stan Freeberg's Elderly Man River. For example, instead of saying "within the tables" I keep typing "withing the tables".

If you haven't heard the routine, let me know and I'll make sure you get to.

Suffice it to say, I'm Mr. Typo this morning.

I haven't heard it... but I have a consistant typo habit that... oh, hell, now I can't remember what it is. >.< I know it looks like I'm somehow trying to make words that have the same ending sound French or something, but now I can't even remember what types of words it is that I make those typos on, and so I should just quit while I'm ahead so I can avoid more embarassment than I'll already heap upon myself when I actually hit "Post Comment"...

Let me know when you remember what it is. Is it typing "<3" instead of "love"? : -D

ZING!

[crack-city.livejournal.com]

Bah. That's not a typo, that's an affectation. Typing "<#" instead of "love" is a typo. ^_^

Oh good. Now I'm clear on that. One down, 8,284,030,927,873,494,732,830,954,278,728,404 to go.

Heh. At least it's a problem for you today. It's a problem for me constantly. I perpetually type 'teh' for 'the' and 'nkow' for 'know', also 'nda' for 'and' - don't ask me what's up with that one.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

So what's up with that one?

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

:P

Don't worry, Stefan-err, Stefing...we all have days like that where-err, when we catn'-cant-can't type.

((...dammit, inochinoakari never logs out when she's donw using my laptop >_<...just left a comment as her))

Aw... I thought she'd commented : -(

Any chance to hear a Stan Freeberg bit I haven't heard is a good one. So fix me up, daddio.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Likely tonight, when I get home.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

I have not heard it.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Evidently many people have not.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Evidently. I just wanted to add myself to the list, so I can hear it later.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Have you come up with a theme yet for the cd you ordered me to make for you, or am I going to have to come up with one on my own?

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

I thought we decided I was kidding. Actually, I did think of a theme the other day, but I can't remember it now. Make it about pirates and ninjas or something.

Speaking of which, did you drive like an apple? I requested that, too.

[chaoticmoth.livejournal.com]

Was it "Songs with 18 letters in the title" or "Music to clean fridges by"?

Maybe all versions of the most covered songs? Because everyone wants 100 CDs of all the various versions of "Yesterday"!

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

You decided you were kidding, but it was too late. You can't unshoot an arrow. Or a film!
Pirates and ninjas... You call that a theme?
Why yes, I did. It was not filmed as I was the only one in the car.

[chaoticmoth.livejournal.com]

OOH! OOH! Come up with one on your own! I'll help! :)

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

I have been using "within" a lot lately on performance reviews (as in "all work completed within dept guidelines"), and I keep typing "withing" also. We must be psychic twins!

[allegedly.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard!

(I just typed: I haven't heart! - if that makes you feel better... ;p)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

No! It doesn't make me feel better at all to know you have no heart! That makes me sad.

Cue "Cold Hearted Snake" and we've just tied the joke about Paula Abdul from the other day... ;)

To whomever you are, and I'd assume it was mekkasimian except that there's lowercase and grammar, that's a good idea indeed.
