Open BSS - Open Source Unix at Open Source Unix

Most people would think a question asking about creating software and potty training puppies would be the first line of a bad joke. Not so in this case. Three years ago, my cousin got a new puppy and it was having accidents in the house all of the time. He’d take the dog out and nothing. But, as soon as they’d get in the door, an accident.

He was writing code one day and it dawned on him. The dog needed a structure or a schedule so it could be programmed to do it’s business in the right place at the right time.

Now, the dog is as regular as clockwork. My friend’s girlfriend says the dog just outgrew the problem. However, my friend is convinced it was the way he ‘programmed’ the dog. You know what, I think so too.
