Of course the server won't respond: it's turned off. And no, we're not setting it up on your desk, like it used to be. That's retarded.
ok, the inline_attachment gem rocks.
I'm weary of giving root password to a user. At least it's a virtual server so if it gets hosed, it's no big deal.
I'll never understand the world's fascination with Tomcat. Or with Java, for that matter.
Argh, cube neighbors are listening to Ricardo Arjona and I can't stand it. Brandemburg concertos to the rescue.
I gave them TWO MONTHS to prepare topic files. Deadline is next monday and most people are just today installing the program. wtf.
I told them not to try the procedure themselves because it was pretty arcane. They went and tried and now all the files are fucked. Sigh...
oh, yes. Black magic in bash: mkdir {one,two}/{sub1,sub2,sub3}.
And, BackupPC saves the day once again. Wish it was easier to back up Windows computers with rsync, though.
Strangely, now that I don't have to put up with Flash on web sites, I hate it even more.
I hate writing official letters. Too bad I'm so good at it!
So far the theme for today has been "unnecessary violence". And it's only 9:30 AM.
Oops..forgot to add quotas to users.
The flash blocker plugin is like the glasses who reveal zombies disguised as normal people.
Man of many hats, part 2: Today I'm a textfile splicer, backup man and unit test writer.
"You can throw shit at me, but remember: shit can fly both ways."
OK, I've had it with Fink. I'm switching to MacPorts. rdiff-backup here I come!! Woohoo!
Wish my father-in-law-to-be was as careful with his cat as he is with his money :(
I forgot: monday afternoons are spent in preparation for tuesday's meeting: metawork. Nothing gets really done...
And the winner is ... explainPMT. So far... Agilefant, TinyPM and Mingle were all too complicated or slow (Mingle, i'm looking at you)
Agilefant vs. TinyPM. Any thoughts?
My desk seems unusually uncluttered this morning. Also, someone gave me a floppy disk. WTF? My computers no longer have floppy drives!
Adrien Brody totally looks like Juan Luis Guerra

Lamborghini Gallardo sighted in Mexico City. What the hell is wrong with this country?
How does Zed Shaw know when someone twits about him? Nice new blog, BTW; the black background didn't agree with my tired eyes.
Mexico. I asked you to surprise me with more displays of violence, rudeness and contempt by my fellow citizens. You didn't disappoint. Sigh.
How to detect a worthless product: instead of "cost" or "price", they list the amount of money you have to pay as "investment".
Ah, Palm. How are you going to market webOS in spanish-speaking countries? (¡está de webOS!)
@El_Chaco_Veloz No tomen un crucero a Cancún, ya hasta ahí están matando gente :-o
@silicongirl Don't mess with Jurassic FM! it's the 80's baby! (J/K)
Why the f.. did I get reported for having a harmless dog sleeping in my cube and nobody says a thing about this screaming baby someone has?
"Stanford bank. For english press 1. For spanish press 2. For withdrawals, press your buttocks really hard, we're out of cash".
- "How can you read?" - "My mother taught me". Best TV script line. EVER.
I dig how Chrome opens new tabs next to the one where you clicked the link. Firefox sends them to the end. Sucks when you have 25 tabs open
I'm still skeptical. Doing a manual check of the application. At least, automated integration tests tell me that everything SHOULD be ok
OK, iTunes, you win: I'm updating the iPhone to 2.2.1 just to get you to stop nagging me. BTW, where is the push notification service?
So, the database teacher who even wrote a book about Postgres doesn't know how to backup his databases! what the fsck :(
um. Integration testing for an application. Will use to rewrite some business logic. Sucks having to run the tests manually!
Damn weather! 80F all day and now it's going to rain!
WHAT? Twitter MAINTENANCE??? the world is about to end!!!
Windows 7, huh? so once again the year number software versioning scheme fails miserably. Wonder how long before they bring it back again.
I want my, I want my, I want my analog tv signal back!
Fact: most people don't even know what the "address bar" is. So asking them to check if they typed correctly there is moot and confusing.
I've got a truckload of work to do. Luckily most of it involves programming, so it's ok.

Silverlight: out of all the technologies already out there, which one did Microsoft choose to copy? *Flash*. Give me a break.
Just discovered Rails named scopes, about a year behind the times. Ought to be ashamed of myself. They kik ass, though.
ok, the teacher's union just sent a heart-shaped cookie for valentine's. That's weird, I'm not even in the union :)
back from fancy restaurant! I liked it! I liked the company better, though ;)
