Never thought I'd be saying this, but I had to work on a classic ASP app earlier this week.

The owner of a datacenter I do business with called, and he had a client in desperate need of help getting a SSO app working. He sent me the code, and right away I saw the problem. Lots of application locking, and non-sensical code. To make matters worse, it needed to encrypt a querystring, pass off to a .jsp page on another server, and do some talking back and forth.

But my favorite part was this code comment:

'Initial creation.  For whoever has to support this when
'                           I am gone, I apologize if this is crummy/hacked code. 
'                           This is my first foray into .NET, and the goal was
'                           "get it working".

Classic ASP is .NET now, hmm?

It should come as no surprise this was written by a java developer.
