Another Sorted Pun

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

This comic sort of formed because of my love for puns. It grew from the fact that I’ve been using a web-based Java application recently, and have been having a varied amount of success with it.

The quick explanation is this: Java is a programming language that was developed by Sun Mircosystems in the mid-1990’s. It’s cross-platform compatible, so any program written in Java can be used on Windows, Mac or Linux machines. For that reason, it is a popular choice for programs that are built into websites, as the web site owner cannot be sure which operating system their visitors will be using.

In my experience, however, things never seem to work quite the way it was intended. The applications only work about half the time (at least, it seems that way). So this strip was just a play on that.
