How about a new reality series entitled "Idiots with power". Episode 1: Steve Ballmer, Episode 2: Vicente Fox
My BerryUnitConverter got reviewed by a Blackberry site and now I'm getting a deluge of requests and mails. It's good!
Twitter just ate all my twits from the last 18 hours.
seeing an .exe on an URL always makes me cringe.
WTF, Twitter is losing tweets today. I've already seen three disappear.
I despise companies which think having a "24-hour support service" via MSN Messenger is professional.
tweetie ate one of my tweets!
At university archive, an anachronism http://twitpic.com/28vrr
@silicongirl it's a true story.
Saddest bumper sticker ever: "my other car is a Mercedes, I left it home because I don't want to be kidnapped today".
Seeing if Stanza allows me to 100% replace my trusty Palm with the iPhone. I only use the palm twice a year now; might be about to stop.
@El_Chaco_Veloz erase = "erase una vez un usuario"?
Working around proprietary software's limitations with a bit of PHP and black magic.
A bat was resting on Discovery and hung on for dear life as the shuttle blasted off. Space bats?
Mexico to "apply commercial sanctions" against the US who forbade access to mexican truckers. Don't know whether to laugh or be worried.
Seen in Mexico City's Metrobus: "measures for gender equality: women-exclusive cars". Equality fail.
Heavily armed policemen in our park. What happened? Don't know, don't care: we left and went elsewhere. Very distrustful of Mexican police.
I'm no designer, but with time I've become pretty adept at CSS tweaking.
Found a Ray Conniff LP on the street today. 20 years ago it might have been valuable; today it's just surreal.
my computer died, I'm now running the process on the big-ass 8GB server. It's already at 72% memory usage and climbing...
closing all hatches, about to run a process that will eat up all my computer's memory. Don't want Firefox hogging it.
WTF Friday the 13th for the second month on a row?
I hate it when users ask for "user-friendly" software. Software is not your friend! it's a tool! you wouldn't befriend a hammer would you?
Big-ass data processing automatio project just fell on my lap. I've got my plate full until November at least!
1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes. 1 trilobyte = 3 bytes¿?¿? WTF?
Lol, drug cartel leader Chapo Guzmán just made Forbes' list of the world's richest men. I wonder if I'm in the wrong business.
Hell week is fast approaching! one month to go!
Bear problems at home? Call 1-800-BEARS-R-US
Almost done paying for my 42" LCD TV!
What am I doing? mindless drone work. That's what.
You know something's seriously wrong with your development process when filling out the *request* formats is a disaster and a nightmare.
Microsoft Word is, and always has been, a disgrace. I miss WordPerfect...
I've loathed Internet Explorer since version 3. I'm not about to stop with IE8. Firefox 3.x, whee!
Sometimes ideas about how to solve a problem the right way come after you've solved it the wrong way and amazed yourself at your own mess.
Vim: d/(some-string-to-search) is saving my life and a lot of time.
Juar juar me la mataste dos a uno :) lero lero
Don't know why I hated TMail so much. It's pretty useful actually.
PostgreSQL "LIKE" is case sensitive. WTF?
I remember the old times when we didn't close <li>, <p>, <td> or <tr>, and we had to show a warning to browsers that didn't support tables.
Non-automated process: 2 hours. Automated process: 2 minutes. Fire all the bureaucrats, hire all the programmers, problem solved.
Tip: never put curse words on your source code. Especially not if it's under source control.
What happens when you put bureaucrats in charge of a computer facility? they turn everything into paperwork to hide their tech ineptitude.
Conundrum: Everybody says that us developers should write more documentation. But then THEY DON'T FREAKING READ IT!! what gives?
I can finish by Thursday IF I'm allowed to work on the project rather than spending all my time in minutiae.
I had 1000 1/3-letter-size sheets of paper. I just ran out. They lasted me 2 years, though...
@silicongirl it's only work if they force you to do it ;)
Coworkers never understand negative logic (the ! operator). They'd flip if they saw how I use Ruby's "unless". Basic boolean logic anyone?
Vim: like a hot knife cutting through the butter of my functional tests.
These guys teaching databases didn't even know how to use the access systems for PGSQL and MySQL! Glad they didn't teach *me*.
Bela will be under the knife today. Keep your fingers crossed for her!
