osCommerce Tips

You know you’ve been using osCommerce too long when:

1. You have the osCommerce support forum as your home page
2. You’re thinking chmod 777 when trying to unlock your front door
3. You know how to say ‘Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?’ in English, German and Spanish
4. Any mention of SSL sends shivers down your spine
5. You have nightmares about padlock symbols
6. You never want to see ‘There’s Something About Mary’ or ‘A Bug’s Life’ every again
7. You can relate to all of the above!

And seven of my favourites from the osCommerce forums:

1. You begin signing your name prefixed with tep_ (by custodian)
2. You feel a sense of urgency when you have difficulty accessing forums.oscommerce.com (by custodian)
3. Your osCommerce store can do more things than eBay, even though you only have 10 things in your entire product listings (by custodian)
4. You download every contribution just in case you might need it one day (by Java Roasters)
5. You refer to your day planner as configure.php and your spouse as application_top (on a good day) (by GraphicsGuy)
6. Your children are “includes” (by GraphicsGuy)
7. You have a dog named footer.php (by GraphicsGuy)
