Okay, got my Dalek plans…

Cool. Got NSD plans today. Looking over the materials list, it occurs to me that this is going to be one hell of a lengthy and possibly expensive project. I’ve had to abandon my previous attempt, as the weight of the materials chosen turned out to be way too much. Though the plans are challenging, …

Long weekend party postponed.

Um… yay! The annual work BBQ has been called on account of rain. There is 100% chance of showers (read ‘biblical deluge’) on Sunday, so the meet n’ greet while trying to get drunk enough so you don’t have to remember any of it, has been postponed. Hooray! Finally something good has come from this …

Correction. E-Prime

A correction to a previous post.& Tonight a young woman brought it to my attention that I made an error in a previous post.& I wrote that Robert Anton Wilson had written an entire book in E-Prime, and incorrectly identified it as one of the books in the Schrödinger’s Cat trilogy.& & & The young …

I went to KFC on Davie Street…

They had no chicken left. I’m serious. So, desperate and with no time to get other dinner, I asked for fries. Out of fries. They had ribs they said, did I want ribs? Um.. not really, but I’ll try them. Ribs were off. I looked at her and in morbid fascination asked, “So… Um… What …

I’m LIVID!

My annual fuck around from BC Hyrdo came in today. The sent me a demand fo 150 bucks as a fucking security deposit on an account that I currently have, and on which I owe no money. In fact, they fucking owe me 7 bucks! They are going to cut off my fucking service unless …

Classic fucking java coder

Once, just once, I’d like to meet a java coder who isn’t a complete lazy ass nincompoop. Latest checked in version of code gen’s thousands of warnings in the logs and dumps them to standard out. Why didn’t he notice this? Well, he figured that they were only warnings, so he just configured his local …

Penn and Teller’s Bullshit.

Man, I love this series. I almost think that it should be required viewing in high school. I just about pissed myself watching the one on the recycling movement in the US. Not to worry folk. Recycling aluminum cans is still quite helpful, but as I’ve been pointing out for years, a little information goes …

Point, click and curse…

Random and unnecessary: Couple of days of design work. I’ve got to that point where everything looks stupid to me. I think I have to move on to something else for the day. My staff and customers are raving about the new design comps, so I must have done something right, even if I can’t …

Almost killed me…

Ahhhh…. Much better.

Finally out…. Blew my Penny amp; Giles cross fader this weekend. Not sure what I did to it. I suspect a sticky, green, umbrella toting drink carried by a really irritating red-head was somehow involved. Bugger. It’s a bill and a half to replace it. On the other hand, the damn thing’s stood up to …
