Fuck it - I'm giving up on Blackberry development. 90% of the time is spent reimplementing *essential* classes that are not present in J2ME.
Why the fuck does the Blackberry API have a "BodyPart" method? what the fuck. Had forgotten what a pain in the ass Berry programming is.

@silicongirl best of lucks with the holy Niño ;)
My desk phone crashed - is it running Windows?
That's what I'm talking about: a site with an embedded Flash clock that refreshes. Every. Second. WHY THE FUCK?
The more I look at Fedora, the happier I am about having migrated to Debian.
Tuned to two different radio stations during the day. Both happened to be playing Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien. Amazing!
Differences between Solaris "up 6 day(s)" and Linux "up 77 days": Solaris programmers were TOO LAZY to add a 1-line pluralization check.
STOP using the word "rich" to describe Flash websites. Unless by "rich" you mean "akin to wading through molasses while being stung by bees"
@silicongirl Maybe they were aiming for that "never lived in" look? Not the colonial, cozy town I remember...
"I thought the administrator had more power than that". Well, i thought you knew how one-way hashes work, asshole. And you're the teacher...
@silicongirl late = but it's for a good cause :P
@silicongirl 18k congrats :)
@silicongirl Sundays are nice :P
The ability to ignore SMS from certain senders (looking at you TELCEL) would be a killer feature in any cell phone.
Someone at the office is listening to Juan Gabriel :( "QUERIDAAAAAA!!!"
@silicongirl I hate Fridays :-/
Disappointed - spent 2 days upgrading sendmail / configuring antivirus. nobody uses it (i.e. we haven't been sent any viruses). snif.

simple RBL spam filter has killed over 37,000 spam in the last 2 months. It's still not enough :(
@silicongirl inventories are fun :P
I have nothing but hatred for people who insist on using their e-mail inbox as an archiving space.
Someone has a ringtone from Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Sadly, it's likely they don't know and just chose it because it "sounds pretty".
Slowaris box should be put out of its (and my) misery. Instead I'm dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Just ran Netscape 4.78 on the solaris server, display sent to my Linux box. That shit is ancient, can't render any sites.
@silicongirl Domo arigato mr. Coyoto?
After 7 years, finally discovered rsync's --partial option. Would have saved me so much time.
Top Google suggestion if you type "How can I k" -> "HOW CAN I KILL MY BABY?" (was looking for a way to keep cockroaches out of kitchen)
People's descriptive capabilities suck: that's why it's often faster to ask for a screenshot to see where they screwed up.
@silicongirl Work can wait - the run can't :P
I'm all thumbs today - can't type correctly.

Why catch an exception and then do nothing but print the stack trace? Java fail.
someone is screaming passwords to someone else on the phone. *writing password down*. Might come in handy sometime ;)
EvilZune: Welcome to the Antisocial :P
ZOMFG I wrotZOMFG I wrote a (short) Java program and it compiled without errors! WHEE.
ffmpeg is pretty worthless unless you get all the libraries and compile from source. *no mp3 encoder in Ubuntu - FLV FAIL*
Our video server had had an audio sync problem since 2007. I never really did anything about it. Finally fixed it today! whee.
I hate people who make us work, then don't use our product/service for a year.
"Your account has been confirmed, thank you" - FAIL. "Account confirmed, Yay! " - WIN
"We're going to try and make the best tools in the world for HTML5." - Adobe's Kevin Lynch. That wasn't so hard, was it? can we move on now?
Hm. OpenOffice now sports a nasty Oracle logo. WTF.
