Awesome website.
This is my favorite part:

From winmain.cpp in the NPP source:
try {
notepad_plus_plus.init(hInstance, NULL, quotFileName.c_str(), &cmdLineParams);
bool unicodeSupported = notepad_plus_plus.getWinVersion() >= WV_NT;
bool going = true;
while (going)
{
going = (unicodeSupported?(::GetMessageW(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)):(::GetMessageA(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))) != 0;
if (going)
{
// if the message doesn't belong to the notepad_plus_plus's dialog
if (!notepad_plus_plus.isDlgsMsg(&msg, unicodeSupported))
{
if (::TranslateAccelerator(notepad_plus_plus.getHSelf(), notepad_plus_plus.getAccTable(), &msg) == 0)
{
::TranslateMessage(&msg);
if (unicodeSupported)
::DispatchMessageW(&msg);
else
::DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
}
}
} catch(int i) {
if (i == 106901)
::MessageBox(NULL, "Scintilla.init is failed!", "Notepad++ Exception: 106901", MB_OK);
else {
char str[50] = "God Damned Exception : ";
char code[10];
itoa(i, code, 10);
::MessageBox(NULL, strcat(str, code), "Notepad++ Exception", MB_OK);
}
doException(notepad_plus_plus);
}

I absolutely love this comment in the script:
"'THE MOST UGLY-ASS KLUDGE IN THE WORLD"
I think that comment pretty much very well describes the script as a whole.
Must be cuz it won't run in Lynx or Konqueror :(

First of all I'd like to thank for you for showing me the term sausage-chain programming."Sausage-chain" means something completely different in the group I associate with.

Once I was able to "reserve" blocks of concert tickets this way until I managed to bypass all the seats I didn't want and get the exact center aisle seats I wanted. I'm fat, I needed the room!
Only once I've had a problem with phone activation. I had to convince an Indian guy named "Phillip" that I really wasn't a pirate and that I really was only reactivating a machine that had suffered hardware failure. He asked me several times if I was absolutely sure that I wasn't using the same key on more than one machine. I told him I was using the XP code that was stuck to the side of the Dell box, and I didn't use that same code on any other machines. He let me activate XP, but then he told me I should call Dell for future problems with that machine rather than call Microsoft. I'm not sure if that was a WTF or if I'm really supposed to call Dell when I can't activate a Dell box?!

Thanks for the post; it was very entertaining and well-written. Did he treat other employees this way, or just you? Very bizzare indeed!
If you have more anecdotes from this experience, please pass them along!
The boss reminds a bit of "Michael Scott" from the Office, only a bit more insane and clingy.
It's been a few hours now. I'm concerned that he hasn't replied. I hope he's OK.

Pleeease tell me the country or town where that happend. I am DEAD curious if I also worked for the same boss...
I cannot freaking belive how we both had such identical pieces of shit of employers :))
@flamers: no, the WTF is not the getting hired for these incompetent assholes... they only show their small penis attitude a while after you get hired...
Austin, TX.
And as for the 'after you get hired' part... totally agree. He was very schizo when it came to his good moods and bad moods.
