I am a complete idiot, I have just agreed to a project where the actual output is generated by a custom C database, which doesn't make any sense. The code has no documentation, few comments, nobody is sure who wrote the code, there are functionpointers going everywhere. I am trying to map it, but it scary. I feel so foolish :-(

LOL - thanks, I just snarfed carbonated water.

I've had some whammers lately due to being acquired. how about going from a 50% dynamic generated, 100% version controlled web site to a 100% static and 0% version controlled?

This must be what it feels like to travel back in time.

Wait until they force you to standardize on MS Frontpage for all code changes.

No :-)

I just finished the project. After decoding the source code,
the rest was like a walk on the beach.
