Someone just asked me if Mac OS is better than Windows. It's like asking if a hamburger tastes better than a turd.
Whee, just discovered Ubuntu's "stretch icon" option, and I'm now filling my desktop with big-ass mismatched-size icons!!
Just yanked a 10,000RPM hot-swap drive off a live server, while it was still spinning. Gyroscope win. Scratched platters fail.
Installing Windows 2003 server on a poor, innocent and unsuspecting server. Will soon be put out of its misery, it's for temporary testing.
Whee doggie pool! http://twitpic.com/igmvy
Just cooked this: http://bit.ly/2z5Jf5 everybody liked it, epic win.
People shitting and peeing on the street in plain view are gross, but on the other hand, there are no public toilets anywhere in town.
If I had a cent for every time a customer has tried to get away without paying, and I had more than one cent, that'd mean i'm an idiot.
Publicity for movies on the radio: stupidest idea ever? It's just random music, yelling and explosions.
I might as well just tweet "uploading exam questions" and be done with it until tomorrow, because that's all I'll be doing for 2 days. Sigh.
People unable to conceptualize a 4-way KVM switcher! what will they do when we finally get the network-enabled, 32-port monstrosity?
Lately I've taken to swaying while I type. Must look quite dorky ;)
Yuck, chicken feet. People will eat the grossest things.
@El_Chaco_Veloz flashforward: lee el (excelente) libro de Robert J. Sawyer, luego reza por que Brannon Braga no lo convierta en basura :)
Our great Dane got bitten by a German shepherd. We left her at the pet hospital for wound cleaning and suture. About to go pick her up!
10:19 pm - a snail is eating our plants. I like them snails, though. http://twitpic.com/heb0j
12:55 pm - the view outside the building. They have us geeks in the basement of course. No view. http://twitpic.com/hc8ry
9 am - on my way to work http://twitpic.com/hb9sm
7:23 am - a walk in the park. http://twitpic.com/haujd
@silicongirl some teacher. Interrupted my hacking run, bleh.
Rimsky-Korsakov: Like Orff and Beethoven, best enjoyed really loud. Nearly missed the phone's ringing because of it ;)
um missed #WoofWednesday yesterday again :( but we did rescue a lost dog!
Been a while since I listened to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade suite. Managed to get the Kondrashin version too. Awesome piece of music.
After 2:30 hours of administrivia I'm ready to start actual work. Until my 12:30 meeting, that is. Meetings: so unproductive.
@silicongirl I'm not mad ;)
Some people have assplosions frequently. There's no other explanation for the scatter patterns one sees in public toilets. Marksmanship FAIL
Just had a 1980's moment: "you mean, the guy on the other computer 1000 miles away can see what you type in real time? THAT'S AMAZING!"
@silicongirl thanks! I actually slept better than expected :)
Aullido: back home after surgery, he feels like shit and refuses to get off the car. Looks like someone will have to sleep outside with him!

I tried to make a flowchart for this system. I promise I did. It just didn't make any sense. I wasn't made for flowcharting.
Aullido: under the knife. Wish him luck.
a heart-shaped sandwich! how cool! thanks ;)
So, since I never upgraded to Leopard, I'm fucked and have to get the box set with (sigh) iLife '09 to get Snow Leopard...
Fixing some hideous code. It was a revolting mess of code copy-and-paste. Worst part is, I wrote it in the first place.
Hey! #WoofWednesday a star trek doggie. http://bit.ly/Bj4Pd
Mozart's piano sonata #11, as played by the great Glenn Gould. Why did he have to die so young?
"after a while you'll find dreamweaver is more of a wysiwtf than a wysiwyg"
@silicongirl I hate fridays :P
Fire up a packet analyzer and marvel at the vomit-like shitload of malformed packets and crap Microsoft's stacks and protocols generate.
People can't handle plain text anymore. If it's not a Word document, it's like you never sent anything at all.
Using Excel as a database pales in comparison with the atrocities people misuse PowerPoint for.
I don't know if I like the AuthLogic gem... http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic/tree/master
All of a sudden I have 2 identical pens.
Back from hell, just in time for #WoofWednesday: http://bit.ly/FcjLF
@silicongirl indeed!! <3
At Shanghai's. This Chinese restaurant kicks ass. I'm already drooling!
BackupPC saves the day yet again. Back up, people.
zombie cucumbers? wtf?
I need to re-download Beethoven's 5th. My MP3s are borked.
