The .NET Gnome

The .NET Gnome #5

Darrell had a funny rant today about the overuse of the term agile. I started thinking, what if other functions outside of IT adopted agile methods, and, well, a new cartoon was born:

Again, any similarity to real life DBA Trolls is purely coincidental.

The .NET Gnome #3

So, thanks to my buddy D-Ral's suggestion, I'm dropping the “.vs the Network Ogre” part of this cartoon's title and in honor of that, I'm introducing a new character.

All characters that appear in this cartoon are completely fictional. Any resemblance to actual Gnomes, Trolls and Ogres is purely coincidental.

The .NET Gnome vs. the Network Ogre #2

Here's the rest of my encounter with the Network Ogre about his SMTP server. Since then, I've experienced numerous other fit-for-a-cartoon encounters at work with the Ogre, and a new character I'm going to introduce next time (if there is a next time), the “DBA Troll.“ In fact, I seem to end up with a new cartoon every time this particular individual comes into my office..

The .NET Gnome vs. the Network Ogre

Well, I hope I'm not trying to be too much like Rory Blyth. He seems to have cornered the market on .NET cartoons so far. But I had an another encounter at work today with the Network Ogre. Instead of describing what happened, I made a cartoon. Now I'm not making this stuff up.. Maybe I'll make this into a series...
