It is 2:15am and I am alone in the office. I seriously hear a mechanical keyboard, but nobody else is here. I guess I die tonight.

    @kunashe I'd watch that horror movie. Attack of the ghostly keyboards!

    I can't leave now though. The parking lot is absolutely terrifying!

    I remember that feeling, just being alone in an office at night freaks me out, i used to be the last out quite often and having to switch off and set alarms and lock up n shit. I once got through that process and had to go back as i left my car keys on my desk. It's not pleasant, there's a different set of noises to those at home that you have grown accustom to.

    Sure it was a mechanical keyboard, and not a bunch of bones rattling while being resurrected? ;)

    Also beware of the junkies at night, they're out to spread their zombie plague, by stabbing you with needles.

    Better go build a desk fort and wait for the sun to rise.

    Nah, just kidding, take it easy and don't let fear get to you.. :)

    @lotd I have an office I share with one other person, but since they are gone the door is in my line of site, and partially blocked "accidentally" by a chair haha :)

    Oh sorry, could have been mine, it's said to be so loud that when on Discord, you hear it twice : when it gets through the mike, then when it echoes through the planet

    I need an update please. Where are you. Shall I send help?

    @eArshdeep alive for the moment, but a bathroom break is coming up and the hallway has the worst lighting I have ever seen!

    @owithg Perhaps stop the documentation of what's happening and gtfo?

    How bad can it be? A ghost dev helping out?

    @eArshdeep to leave I would have to cross the murder parking lot...

    @gitpush I wish they were more helpful! Been fighting with 2 month old code that feels like the most legacy of legacy code

    @owithg damn this is bad :S

    There is only one solution to your problem. Exorcise the living shit out of all the keyboards in the office.
    Exorciamus te in nomine etc etc

    PS: you could also try summon a demon to protect you or help you with coding.

    Happened to me too. In my case it was the sound of someone clicking with a mouse 😨

    @owithg When did this start? Please don't tell me that you found out about this on your first day and instead of trying to get out you just made a pot of coffee and stated developing. Living in the office... code became your life...
  • 2
    @eArshdeep haha not quite that bad. Today was crunch day. Either I could work Saturday, or pull a 24 hour shift of coding...

    Stop typing and you will not longer hear the Keyboard πŸ˜‚

    @Plexus haha I made it out alive, but because some other devs didn't finish their shit, I have to try again... I have decided an offering is required to placate the ghost! I wonder if a sacrifice​ of usb drives is appropriate?

    @Plexus perfect! I will set it up a work station with coffee, a machine, and headphones so it can complete it's unfinished business 😁😁😁

    I guess you shouldn't have hired that ghostwriter for your thesis...

    @owithg @owithg is that what keyboard manufactures mean by "ghosting"?
