I am collecting anecdotes of experiences, (real or imagined)
for a book to be titled:
MY FAVORITE BUGS: Humourous, and Horrible Experiences in Software
Engineering.
As one might tell from the title, the book will be filled with wonderful
tales that programmers tell each other, over a few too many beers,
after a long day at the keyboard.
The book is meant to be read for entertainment, as well as for education.
In that light, I am asking that contributions include (when possible),
a short description of the bug, some comments on why it was special,
how the solution was found, and maybe (for the appendix of the book)
a few lines of code.
You don't need to write anything long; a page should do it. All
contributors are thanked in advance, and will be credited in the book
for their contributions.
Soon in a bookstore near you...
(apologies if you see this message on ten different newsgroups)
