I am caught in a commercial - ViperEye - 27th Jul 2003 19:00
I'm very doubtful that any of you will remember or even recognize what I'll be talking about here, but I hope you bare with me. You see, a while back there was a Burger King commercial on TV that was shouting out about this new 2-for-2 deal they had; you paid two bucks for two burgers, or two large fries, or two sodas, and they compared the whole "two" thing to how the number two seemed to be popping up everywhere. Two eyes. Two shoes. Two basketball players playing basketball underneath -- you guessed it -- two baskets.
Oh. My. Dear. God.
Waking up this morning, I immediately noticed that something was wrong. There were two beds in my bedroom (and I'm the only one that sleeps there). I swung out of bed and -- lo and behold -- two legs streched towards the floor. I walked on out and sat down at the computer desk in the loft outside my bedroom, and there were two pens sitting side-by-side. I opened up mIRC and talked to the other developers to find out what needed to be done today. To my not-at-all-great surprise, I found I had two duties of writing to perform.
The first was the Release Notes for the upcoming patch we're planning to put out, which had to be modified for several spelling errors (All SeeYing Eye, anyone?) and, of course, the changelog. The second was the Troopers Manual, which had to be updated to reflect the changes coming in the patch. Once complete, I sat back and realized that the number two was permeating even more of my life. Tommorrow will mark the two-week anniversary of the Demo release. And we have a bug patch planned for release in...
Whoa. Almost let something slip. Bad Viper, bad! Naughty!
So what does the number two have to do with any of you? Well, I'll leave you to figure that out (Lord knows I've been glaringly obvious). Until then, I need to go grab a late lunch. Two orders of boneless buffalo wings from Chili's should do me good. It's just too bad they think you're insane if you want two forks to eat it with.
