+ | [[Cueball]] is telling [[White Hat]] about his attempt at {{w|debugging}}, i.e. the process of finding out what is wrong with a given computer problem, which can become increasingly difficult and convoluted. In this case, Cueball had a problem with his {{w|Web browser|browser}}. His attempts to solve this problem led him to a problem with the {{w|Device driver|device driver}} for his {{w|Computer keyboard|keyboard}}. Chasing that issue, he found an unclear error message from a {{w|Utility software|system utility}}, and so on. | ||
− | + | Then when he wraps this long story up, he unexpectedly reveals this process has led him to find the “[http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Sword_of_Martin Sword] of {{w|List of Redwall characters#Martin I|Martin the Warrior}}”, a magical item from the children's fantasy novel series ''{{w|Redwall}}''. This refers to the fact that a complicated riddled path was devised in the series that would lead to the sword, which is similar to the process of debugging, as it involves following clues to achieve an answer. But apart from that, they are entirely different. This is pointed out by White Hat. Redwall has been referenced before, most prominently in [[370: Redwall]]; where Martin and the sword can be seen, but also recently in [[1688: Map Age Guide]]. | |
− | + | {{w|Googling}} an error message is a common method used during debugging, often leading to useful information. However, when there are no search results for a given message, it means the problem is so obscure that almost nobody had experienced it before. (See also ''[[979: Wisdom of the Ancients]].'') Or, as the title text hints, it might mean it was a hidden clue to the location of Martin’s sword. | |
