just regular work stuff

The internal software version for one of our projects has skipped a number. We went from 68 to 70. I don't know who made that decision, but given our tendency (as a group) for lazy, low-brow jokes, it was the right call.

Today my co-worker learned that we are skipping version 69, and he announced it to another co-worker and three co-op students. Someone asked, "Why are we skipping 69?" and then the group erupted into laughter. I was running a test with a timer when this happened, so I know that they all laughed for literally a full minute.

I'm surprised our entire DisplayPort project didn't get cancelled just because of its unfortunate abbreviation. And God help us if any of our projects gets to version 80085.
