On the other hand, that sounds like a lot of work, and it sounds kind of hard, to boot. You say that will show Jean Ross who the real Scripting Guy is? You know what? You’re right: that would show Jean who the real Scripting Guy is, wouldn’t it? What’s that? Write a really good column, one that, say, colors every other row in an Excel spreadsheet. The Scripting Guy who writes this column reacted to adversity by getting very depressed and withdrawing into his office, his life pretty much over. Of course, people are truly defined by how they react to adversity. Was George Harrison the “other” Beatle to John and Paul? Was Chico the “other” Marx Brother to Groucho? Was – well, never mind. And the Scripting Guy who writes this column? He has somehow become the other Scripting Guy. And yet Scripting Guy Jean Ross – who, we might point out, isn’t even a guy – has somehow become the Scripting Guy. The other Scripting Guy!?!? The Scripting Guy who writes this column single-handedly invented the Script Center, for goodness sake! How many Script Centers do you suppose Scripting Guy Jean Ross has invented? That’s right: zero. “Oh,” said this someone as he returned to the booth. And yet, nowhere near as hard as it was trying to get that one little box back out of storage.) When the Scripting Guy who writes this column returned from his quest, Scripting Guy Jean Ross was busy chatting with someone.

And there’s a reason for that: while in Orlando for TechEd 2007, the Scripting Guy who writes this column had both his confidence and his ego shattered in one crushing blow.Īt one point during the festivities, the Scripting Guy who writes this column left the Scripting Guys’ booth in an attempt to find a place where the dynamic duo could store a box for a few hours. We know a lot of you have been wondering, “Gee, what’s the matter with the Scripting Guy who writes that column? He just doesn’t seem like his usual, jolly old self these days.” Sadly, that’s true.
