Configure
by Jet245 on Jul 25, 2014 21:16:41
The act of completely and immediately resolving a problem or issue of absolutely any given nature through
pure brilliance and outstanding
nerve. A rare phenomenon; typically native to a devestatingly attractive and intelligent individual, who pretty much just goes around fixing stuff.
Like a boss.
Example:
"Dude. I don't know how you
sorted that situation!"
"I know, at first it was a head-scratcher - but
in the end I configured the hell
out of it."
configurator
by The configurator on Feb 06, 2010 01:06:01
The person who does the configuration, design, programming,
deployment and support of an application (that only 2 other people in the company understand) despite the best efforts of their
project manager to really
screw them around.
Also, far more than a BA.
Example:
He was the configurator as he did far more than just a
BA despite the fact that
TF was just an idiot who kept
getting in the way.

To ask someone what their configuration is, is to ask them what side of the political
train tracks they take. As in,
left-wing or
right-wing, republican or democrat, green or red, you know.
Example:
"You wanna join the
Manchester Hippie
Corps? What's your configuration?"
"
Green green green. Like the perfect weed, my friend."
configuration masochism
by ABloodCryingEngineer on Mar 30, 2013 00:15:45
Within the field of
Information Technology, the act of implementing, possibly but not necessarily,
good practice configurations without any business value just for the sake of using the available
functionality and thereby creating the feeling of self satisfaction which has as the consequence that other involved parties are hindered in performing their day to day operations which invokes great frustration for said parties.
Example:
An architect suffering of configuration masochism designs the configuration of a totally private cloud instance in such a way that for each department in the company a small "
firewalled"
subnet is created while discarding the fact that in the end all services implemented by each department within their respective network segments have to communicate to each other in a non predictable way. Because of that an endless set of firewall and
routing rules have to be created to make communication between these services possible which defeats the purpose of having firewalled network segments in the first place.
eyeballs out configuration

An
eyeballs out configuration involves vehicles going backwards at a great
velocity, causing the eyeballs to
bulge out.
I configure that out

What you eye-twinklingly say when presented
wif a "cranky-conundrum" situation which others are
at a loss as to how to solve, but you are able to see
a way out dat involves designing/altering one or more components in a certain way.
Example:
Cool dude #1, observing his electronics-nerd best friend strolling by his job-site, and waving him over to where he's puzzling over a power-cables array: Hey, Bud --- I'm trying to
figger out about
wiring up this circuit, but how to hook up da control-switches has me majorly
scratchin' my head. Any ideas?
Cool dude #2, after briefly tracing da wiring and pondering a moment: Oh, yeah --- I configure that out. We just need a couple of relays in addition to your existing start-and-stop switches.
