   idea for comic: I was having trouble debugging some c code. I had looked at the file for an hour. My girlfriend shows up to find out what is taking me so long. I tell her the problem just to be polite. She then points to the screen and askes: Why is there 2 “==” here and online 1 “=” there?

   Programmer: Hey, look at this program I wrote… I’ll compile it now
   Computer: poof!
   Programmer: Wait… Now it will work
   Computer: poof!
   Programmer: Now it will work
   Computer: poof!
   Programmer: Now it will work
   Computer: poof!
   5 hours later…
   Programmer: Now it will work
   Computer: poof!

   Just wanted to say kudos for having the text of the comic present on the posts in a searchable format – I have found comics like yours invaluable to talk kick off discussions in the team – the humor takes the initial edge away However, when I *know* there was a Geek’n'poke/xkcd/whatever about a topic and I kind for the life of me find it, that’s frustrating. That won’t be the case with your comics, thanks!

   Replace “poof” with some borring compiler error. Great work!
