What If It Wasn’t a Bug?

Everybody knows the story of the first computer and how it shorted out. They opened it up and found an insect inside in and that is why computer glitches are now called bugs. What if it wasn’t a bug. What if it was a mouse? Would glitches be called rats. “Oh yeah, I was just coding and I found a whole bunch of rats in my program.” Some other ones I’ve thought about:

  • Bomb – Even though that would make a little sense.
  • Clock
  • Piece of paper
  • Peanut
  • Crumb
  • Cheese – That would be cool becase then we could have different kinds of cheeses for different kinds of errors ( i.e. Swiss cheese for a security hole ).

Most of these are pretty unorthodox (if I spelled the word correctly), but hey, it could happen. They did find a bug in the computer.

Stylesheet Tweak

If you pay attention to my main page at all, you will probably notice that I tweaked my stylesheet a little. Just changed the margins, colors and background, ah and the width of the one column. I’m not sure if I will implement this design on the blog. I still have to make a database backend and then it will be a lot easier to manage.
