MS – You evil bastards.

So here’s something fun. And by fun, I mean the sort of fun where someone has jumper cables attached to your nipples. The latest SQL Server update from MS sends back an error code regardless if your code executed cleanly or not. This can’t be overriden or shut off. MS Support says that you’re now …

PayPal – The Bane of my existence.

So, after the lastest debacule in the ongoing history of credit card fraud and 911 reactionsim, a slew of customers have just lost their merchant accounts and have switched over to paypal web payments pro. What a fucking nightmare to deal with, this little piece of shit is. Aside from the fact that forms and …

Close, but no cigar.

I just missed getting creamed in a multi-car pile up on davie. I was riding my bike back from the theatre, and just turning onto Thurlow when everything went into slow motion. A truck ahead of me ran a red light as a car going the wrong way along Thurlow ( a one way street …

I suspect deliberate stupidy

“Please use the html templates in the templates folder – just copy them to your working directory and modify them there. They are alreay done so this shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes.” 2 hours later… “But they aren’t php files. When I try to execute them as php they don’t work.” This from …

Hmmmm must be mooding.

Short temper today. Minor headache is the likely culprit. That being said, I’m sure that some recent developments have been weighing on my mind. I suspect that I’m a little put out by having to come back from Vacation into an utter mess, as well as constantly having to bite my lip over other stuff. …

This whole computer thing annoys me.

Back one day in front of the damn thing and I realize how annyoing the things are. The internet appears to be 99.99999% bad marketing, bad politics, bad whining and bad design. The hardware is irritating, the users are annyoying, and most of the documentation is bullshit. All in all, I’m starting to think about …

The Centre Cannot Hold

i> Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all convictions, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. /i> …

Sometimes I just wanna…

…fire people off into the center of the sun. Between 3 guys, you’d think that 20 hours of work could be done in a week. Really. Seeing as my taxes are going to put other people’s kids through school, one would hope for some return on the investment, eh? I’m starting to develop real intolerance …

Light that goes faster than light?

http://www.scienceblog.com/light.html Interesting food for thought, though I must admit to a certain skepticism in claims of a violation of C. Einstein isn’t really threatened here as only a portion of the signal seems to be effected. However this does imply that C is not the same ole’ reliable value that it used to be. Things …
