BUG

In the last month there has been an overabundance of posts about bugs. Since the 2.4 release the bugs have gone wild… they’re taking over!!!

I have come to the conclusion that BUG stands for Big User Glitch.

No, a bug came back from the days when computers still use cards and vacuum tubes and a moth was stuck into one of the mechanical mechanism.

Yes it came when Grace Hopper, who was part of the team working on the Eniac found a fried cockroach that caused a short circuit.

Thats where the term bug came. Odd think is her name, Grace Hopper (grasshopper :wink: )

Oh, I see. And BUGSS stands for But Us Guys are So Serious

Bugs are funny!

Yeah, I think that sometimes too. There is another term I found recently in use called PBKAC:

It’s hard to tell with it being so recent how stable 2.4 is but initial impressions are that it is a touch more buggy than previous versions. One time I accidentally ctrl-right-clicked a bone while in edit mode and Blender crashed. It was pretty hard to reproduce though but the obscure bugs are the most annoying because they happen via actions you can’t normally anticipate and therefore avoid.

It’s still more stable and responsive than Maya though so I have no complaints.

It was a moth. I have the photographic evidence right here. :stuck_out_tongue: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/pers-us/uspers-h/g-hoppr.htm

What if it had been a mouse that got caught in the relay? Today, instead of saying “this program is full of bugs”, we’d be saying “this program is full of mice.” :smiley:
