The River

In Norway we have the tradition of going with the company out to eat and drink before christmas, an event called "julebord". It is a bit formal dinner, but there is also possible to make some fun. So this year we made some new lyrics to a well-known song, and performed it a this event. And here is the lyrics:

We came from down in the city where we are coding strong
They bring us up to fix, all the bugs they've done
We and Mysql we met in Orlando, it was around seventeen
They cashed out of their wallet mister Schwartz and mister Green

We got into My sequel, singing helan går
ooh into My sequel we're dragged

Then we got My sequel compliant, and man how much code we read
And for my nineteenth checkout, i got bazaar to give me code
We went down to Riga, and Postgres was put to rest
no Jet and Jag no Honeycomb store no Testtool no HADB

We went down to the old town, and into the nearest bar
ooh down to the old town, tired of bazaar

We got a job working, constructing Sun software technology
But lately there ain't been much sales, on account of the economy
Now all that's getting so important, Well there are releases right a head
Now we act like we can deliver, and others blog what they dont like

But I remember us caching with the Memcache-d, searching Opengrok using Java DB
And on them channels I'd stay awake
And pull the code and some ugly patch we make
Now those memory bugs they haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is the flag here set, and it isn't true, Or is it something worse?

that sends me down to the debug, and into the bugs we dive
ooh under the table tonight
Thrown to the umem, my corefile and I
oooh down in the worklogs we dive.

And with that, happy holidays!
