Techies Law 

Techies Law is a definition coined by Strictly-Software.com to describe a Murphies Law type scenario related to software development.

The law states that:

If you have spent considerable time trying to resolve a bug in your code, a technical problem or any other such computer related issue and you finally resort to asking for help from a colleague or support team member. You can be rest assured that when you go to show that person the problem in action it has miraculously resolved itself all by itself OR you will immediately spot the cause of the problem.

You are then derided for either being a numpty and / or wasting their precious time for no reason.
I just experienced Techies Law in action. After spending hours trying to debug some code I reluctantly called our lead developer over to help me but as soon as he arrived at my desk I immediately realised what the bug was. He called me a numpty.

I am going to utilise Techies Law by spending a third of the time I usually spend bug fixing before asking for help.

I am going to pray to the God of Geekdom that Techies Law will enact itself and fix my network connection for me by calling someone else over to have a look at the problem.

Short for technicians. The people that make your shows happen. Often seen backstage, on the grid and any other dark space. Has a wide range of skills, knows how to fix anything with a role of duct tape. Rather sexual, doesn't need an excuse to feel you up. Always there for eachother. Strage obssessions with glowtape. Doesn't know what to do with self when tech is cancled. Basicly lives in the theater. Shows would be nothing without them. GO, techies, GO!
Those techies are strage creatures, I think one just tried to feel me up.

techsessory 

contraction of tech(nological) accessory (e.g. Kindle, smart phone, mp3 player, head phones, bluetooth headset, Garmin, etc.)
Even though you left your laptop at home, the constant buzzing of the techsessories in your purse give you away as a technophile.

technesis 

Jeff (now in a semi-vegetative state) used his brain waves (and some cunning technological advances) to move the cursor across the screen via technesis... it could arguably also be labelled as technology based 'psychotechnesis' (robosuperpowers).

The techies are a bunch of fags, and suck each others dicks all day while watching bukkake videos, while pulling $30,000 a year from CHS.
