What’s a website for computer engineers without a little bit of humor? While comp-e.com is here to give you a place to talk tech, we also find it important to give you the utmost in daily delights. After all, we have to live every day knowing that there are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand us, and those who think verilog is something burnable and vlsi …. well, we won’t even go there. That being said, here is an oldy that popped into my rss a few months back, but one still worth sharing with all the compe’s out there.
–from joke of the day.
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re an engineer — you’re in the wrong place.”So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After awhile, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?”
Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”
God replies, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have gotten down there; send him up here.”
Satan says, “No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.”
God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”

In thinking of what I should upload first to the comp-e.com forum, it occurred to me that most ‘live support’ for ECE and CSE related stuff is usually found on IRC. Therefore I decided to make a nice tutorial for any beginner out there looking to stop by Freenode or any other channel. Check it out here.
