Skynet Precursor?

The engineer in the cube across from me is working on something for the company’s web site that will allow customers to specially configure the valve they want. Right now you can buy stock valves from the site, but you have to know what you want, this new way will walk you through getting the right product for the right application. Internally this thing is referred to as the configurator, I’m sure marketing will coin some fancier term for it later. He is working with an outside vendor that is doing all the programing and they are not too prompt with their updates and corrections.

This morning I heard him discussing his woes dealing with the programmers and the configurator with another engineer in NJ, when I heard him say, “It never gives you the same answer twice.” Maybe this program has a mind of its own and it gives a different answer depending on its mood.

Started down, went up, still up.
