Today's quote: "I prefer to work at leisure, instead of wrestling with my tools". I totally agree. *wrestles with PHP*
However perverted this procedural-as-hell, alleged OO-oriented PHP program is, it's still better than programming in Java.
I can hack away for hours on end, but mindless drone-work gives me a headache.
Meetings are such a colossal waste of time.
Irony: half the day is spent on meetings where I get more assignments which I can't do because I spend half the day in meetings!
Man, Postgres' privilege system sucks.
OK so my camera has been in the repair shop for a month now. Lucky I had a backup one for the holidays!
Converted Java and Ruby code to HTML using GeSHi. Somehow Ruby comes out livelier and more colorful. Wonder why that is...
Was 25 minutes late for work. I'm such a lazy bum.
@El_Chaco_Veloz Bully: está divertido! en el Wii te peleas dando puñetasos con los controles.
Create new mail account: 20 seconds. User will forget password they gave me themselves: priceless.
God is imaginary. Try seeing it for yourself! http://www.godisimaginary.com
I liked the concert! wish I had more time to attend them, though :(
My department just got assigned a new PC but we've nobody to use it. Actually I've nobody else to use it; it's a one-man department.
Thing is, I have no more faith in Palm after they abandoned us for 4 years.
OK, looks like Palm has a winner with their new Palm Pre. Looks pretty impressive. Too bad I jumped off that boat about 2 years ago...
Palm's CES conference. This is it.. if they blow it they'll go quietly into the night.
Having some fun reviewing old code... I actually wrote this?
counting servers, I feel like a shepherd
"people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent"
One thing I truly hate about servers: they take forever to boot up.
Whee, Darren Aronofsky to direct a reboot of RoboCop!! Come peacefully or there will be... trouble.
I sent 600 work-related emails in 2008.
Got a nice Día de Reyes present!! thanks!!!!!
First bits of real actual work done this year: upgrading some servers!
having a lolcat overdose after two weeks' abstinence.
Time to start all the "I haven't done X since last year" jokes!
Ah, Mexico is kissing 2008 goodbye with a few reminders of what a wonderful, friendly place to live it is.
Will this be my last twit of the year? maybe!
Wonders of the human body: went to bed just fine, woke up in excruciating pain. My neck-back-shoulder region is acting up.
The analog film industry is on its way out, the best Kodak and Fuji can do by now is quote fanatics who "would never give up film".
death to all banks!
I don't know what to make of OpenTTD. I hadn't played TTD in about 10 years. On the other hand, I'd been tycoon-free for 10 years...
http://twitpic.com/tfgy - Alien in our kitchen! (rajas with cream actually)
The Day the Earth Stood Still: way to butcher a classic. Won't be long before a 100% faithful CGI double of Keanu Reeves can be produced.
I don't know how to explain to these people that they CAN'T FREAKING SEND TWO USERS WITH THE SAME LOGIN!!! AGHGHGHGHRR
México city: i just spent 2:30 hours in traffic. 12 kilometers. I should have walked!
due to bus drivers' strike, Ottawa turned into Mexico City, with avg speeds of 10 km/h. Extraordinary for them, everyday for us.
@silicongirl WOW! nice place! ;)
So they want me to schedule an exam for a day when we'll be on vacation with no tech support... kudos.
Netbeans: feels like wading through molasses, particularly after doing some programming for Rails with Vim.
"areas of opportunity" is just an euphemism for "you suck at these and need to improve".
a Windows 2003 server got hacked. Kudos to the vendor who asked us to install SQLSVR2000 (so old); blame is on me for listening to them.
@silicongirl god forsaken! ROFL!
Paperwork sucks, filling out forms sucks, and they *all* changed last week. Studying the new set now...
Downloading Netbeans. I hate Java!
Mexico City generates in 3 DAYS as much trash as Ottawa does in a whole year
Preparing my requests for 2009 budget. Won't get approved until March, if at all. I'd love to get that 16-core monster server I requested...
Logitech's mice are the best. Over 1 billion served. http://tinyurl.com/65ylmg
Whee, just got a new UPS at the office. Of course, I'd rather be hooked up to the 15KvA monster in the server room but this'll have to do
