Yes, it's one of those days.

I'm bored trying to understand a design that it is overly complicated and poorly documented, in order to see if I can actually re-use the code. My mind instinctively reacts against such ridiculous complexity, which seems to exist purely for the sake of showing off one's knowledge of OO design principles, and wishes people could adhere to the KISS principle.

(The KISS principle, of course, being that if Gene Simmons can't get his tongue around it, it's too complicated.)

This makes me cruise off and look at web comics instead.

I ran across this strip, and find it makes me want to quote the tag line from MegaTokyo, "relax, we understand j00." How many other gamer's internal monologues sound like this one? I know mine often did. I used to (and may again some day) wander down Featherston St., bothering to look up, checking for snipers, investigating each passing face for the tell-tale signs that they're about to draw an Uzi or katana and launch into a killing frenzy, knowing that I would quickly draw the key-chain from my pocket, blind them with the attached laser pointer long enough to drive the 9 cm of Barina door key through their ear and into their brain, relieving them of their weapon and using it to deal with any accomplices...

What? Isn't everyone continually going over scenarios for potential random attacks in one's head, just so that they are prepared? *grin*
