I need to preface this by saying, yesterday, or office manager came running into our development pit and tripped over our only phone, ripping it out of the wall. Our IT guy was able to replace it with another phone, in a jack right near my desk. So now the funny parts...
We put the phone in a desk drawer. We hate that stupid phone. It's annoying. One extension for all of the developers. Now, when someone chimes in on the intercom, they are muffled, we yell at the phone and throw things at it. The people on the speaker can't hear us, they get frustrated and end up walking all the way into the pit. It's humorous. It will last for a few weeks, until the either we get bored with it or the IT guy removes it from the desk.
In any case it was funny, as I'm writing this. Back to the grind I guess.
If your new, or fairly new to web development with ASP.Net, I ran across these great tutorials on GotDotNet. The tutorials require Microsoft Power Point, but there is exmaple code. Hey, it works for me!
