[challenge entry] I actually wrote this piece of software for work!


It was a dodgy acronym connected with our company's old identity, but it has stuck. The icon is on everyone's desktop, and a much put-upon and largely unhelped developer is working on version 2 for us.

(if you're out there, Rob, I'm sorry for neglecting you... I want to get back to this project next month. Honest.)

So. Not shopped at all. Real database app. I wish it were something else though...

# most commendable!
There are pubs I wouldn't dare go to in this city. Students are not the most welcome of characters.

# Unfortunately, you are right.
I so wish it actually had something to do with beer though.

The icon is probably the most creative thing about it!

# we altered every computer at college
to have every icon called Fuck off with every icon being that of someone sticking their middle finger up. We then proceeded to alter the order of icons on the screen so no one new which icon was what.

It's funny mainly due to the incompetence of the IT technicians and them not being able to un do our crafty work.

we live very dull lives at college.
