Doreen - sorry grusome humor, you get that working for a hospital

i learn things because it is fun. who cares beyond that?

so, Doreen works with computers. Doreen also works in a hospital. also Doreen needed a program to translate between 7 different "languages".

feline is almost afraid to ask

Doreen, you arent based in or near England are you by any chance?

it is just that i write software to deal with electronic messages that hostpitals send to doctors surgeries for a living.

the number of headaches the hospitals computers cause me is truely increadible.

feline is left with confusing feeling about all of this

Doreen is a lovely person, while many hospital computers seem unable to find their bottom with both hands and an atles.

feline decides to try the untimate test

Doreen, have you ever come across the computer message format EDIFACT?

yes Java taking a look at your mortality is a good way to start living...
as for my kids I think they raise me more then I raise them. hehe
my 5 yo calls me his princess I call him Lord Farquaad, cuz his height(we watch Shrek too much) hehe

Have a g'weekend and a Great B-day Monday!!!!

Feline nope I don't live in England if I did I'm sure my English would be more proper...
I'm in Cali

and no I can't recall seeing a machine msg EDIFACT? though I see many other msgs that love to throw me out of the program to the desktop when I'm building a report and I'm about 150 steps & 2 hours into it! argh!
however all msgs are logged and saved for the devs on the HD for them cuz that part is "not" my specialty so I don't even try to figure the msgs they are too cryptic.

I don't quite understand what you mean by what you do for a living feline? but mine consist of building reports, populations and universes (yes that sounds weird universes) I don't ask I just do it, hehe
The reports are built for way too many reasons to list but all have to do w/ Medical stuff.

Happy B-Day Java! what are you doing here? you should be ditching work today, we wont tell... hehe

This thread is now over 1MB in size!

feline watches T-man suspiciously

i hope you arent harboring any thoughts of stopping this threads growth! starone and i broke the problems with OB thread in two since it was getting big (all 200 posts of it *snigger*), and it just wasnt the safe after that.

look at it this way, this thread shows that this site is growing as a person, and developing its own excentricities. therefore it should be treasured for the wonderous thing that it is

feline didnt realize it was JavaBrains birthday
feline goes looking for magic wand
...
feline thinks i am going to need two magic wands
...
.......
...........
AHHA!
done it

i always thought that chocolate birthday cakes tended to be to small.

now the chocolate plannet has a moon! with 21 candles (the age of nearly all women)! and the best bit is that the moon's orbit goes thought the whole in the middle. having a torroidal (ring donut) shaped planet makes things more interesting.

it was the suger filergery stair case leading up to the moon that needed the second wand. quite tricky that bit, since it has to move to keep pace with the moon.

feline considers singing happy birthday as a final touch

Doreen - Feline nope I don't live in England if I did I'm sure my English would be more proper... I'm in Cali

i live in england, and look at the fun i have with english!
cali? i dont recognise that. but then, about the only thing i was ever taught in geography was volcanoes and earthquakes

Doreen - and no I can't recall seeing a machine msg EDIFACT? though I see many other msgs that love to throw me out of the program to the desktop when I'm building a report and I'm about 150 steps & 2 hours into it! argh!

feline hugs Doreen
that is a releaf. i get enought of them at work, without finding them here as well.

Doreen - I don't quite understand what you mean by what you do for a living feline?

basically i write software that handless the electronic messages hospitals send to doctors. thing is though there are loads of rules about how this is supposed to work that i am supposed to follow, but the hospitals dont. so when it all goes wrong doctors shout at me. hospitals dont pay much attention when i shout at them though. *sigh* piggy in the middle time

Doreen - but mine consist of building reports, populations and universes (yes that sounds weird universes) I don't ask I just do it, hehe

so, Doreen makes universes. this makes you a god of the new universes

Doreen - The reports are built for way too many reasons to list but all have to do w/ Medical stuff.

that sounds a lot like my work actually

"ObjectBra" is what happens when the developers minds start wandering

Thanks, for the "happy birthday", feline!

so Doreen, when are you going to produce your first skin for ObjectBra?

i am wondering about the screen shot you will post with it

universe and population are actually maths terms, so if the programmers are mathameticians, this may be the official names

Well I really dunno what they are feline, all I know is we do not speak the same lingo at all... hehe
however I'm the only one in the County that actually somehow gets what we need from them, I usually draw cartoon scribbles & do alot of sign language to get my point accross to them, & then let them speak alien talk back to me and say yeah yeah...

I now have a mental picture of Doreen talking to little green aliens with laptops and pocket protectors....

School's out tomorrow. I think I did all right in my exams. I've probably got a long post coming though... so... I should go type that right now

feline finds it hard to see how anyone could forget about us

perhaps Elf is just trying to encourage us to new heights of literary achievements. after all a 1 meg post would double the size of the thread at a single fell *giggle*
