Hey all,

I'm coming up with a list of ideas for a list entitled

'You Know you are a web developer when'

here is what I have so far:

You Know your a web developer when:

1. You have the first sentence of Lorem Ipsum memorized.
2. When you write your shopping lists with <li’s> and <uls’s>
3. When you enclose a piece of text in the u tag rather than underline it.
4. After you have heard “Oh, a web developer, I have nephew (not shaving yet) that makes web pages” enough times to make you want to run the following query:
delete idiot
from earth
where nephew like “web”
5. You cringe in horror when someone says ‘<blink>’
6. When you think IE 6 is the devil!

Let me know what else you think deserves to be on the list.

Ok, I have an update on the list:

1. You have the first sentence of Lorem Ipsum memorized.
2. When you write your shopping lists with <li’s> and <uls’s>
3. When you enclose a piece of text in the u tag rather than underline it.
4. After you have heard “Oh, a web developer, I have nephew (not shaving yet) that makes web pages” enough times to make you want to run the following query:
delete idiot
from earth
where nephew like “web”
5. You cringe in horror when someone says ‘<blink>’
6. When you think IE 6 is the devil!
7. You try to sound smart and talk about DNA but say DNS instead
8. Whenever you make a mistake in real life (misplacing something, decorating something wrong, mess ups at work, etc) you instinctively look for the “Undo” button.
9. You accidentally start typing your term papers with <?php
10. you go to the mall and can name all the fonts found in a specific store
11. When you start finding “keywords” in people conversations
12. when your surfing the net you check image links for alt tags
13. you can identify the photoshops effects neccesary to make a specific graphic.
14. When on every piece of paper you need to sign you are looking for a ’submit’ button.

when u start calling ppl divs


lol good list so far


haha good one, I think i'll add it


When you spend your Friday nights praising FireFox.


lol I do that all the time.

When you start math variables with $ or int, and end them with a ;.
When you see someone using Firefox, regardless of whther you know them, they gain more of your respect.
And the exact opposite for IE.

That's all I got for now :P

A lot of that is true, whenever someone shows me a document or when i go into a shop sometimes i say 'They need a better font, it's a horrible font is 'xxxx'

how about you start your shopping list like this.

#Vegatables {
Carrots: 3lbs;
Brocoli: 1lbs;
}

Lol. Bit advanced though.

<?php 
$items = array( 1 => "Carrots", 2 => "Brocoli");
foreach ($items as $num => $item) {
echo "Item " .  $num . ": " . $item . "<br />";
}
?>
