“I can name that code in 3 lines”

October 5, 2008

I gen­er­ally hate post­ing meme/quiz/test results, but thought this one was worth it…

I had to guess on the Ruby, For­tran, and COBOL, but am con­fi­dent I got the rest correct.

How to completely derail the Engineering department in 2 easy steps

April 18, 2008

How to derail the Engi­neer­ing depart­ment in 2 easy steps:
Step 1: Have one of your cowork­ers announce pub­licly that he stealth­fully gave his 2 weeks notice two weeks ago and has been keep­ing it on the down-low.  He’s mov­ing on to big­ger and bet­ter things (going back to school) and he’ll really be missed by all.  […]

How many HTML elements can you name in 5 minutes?

November 20, 2007

I do not usu­ally post memes, but saw this on angelsk’s LJ and liked that it’s more of a test of skill (well, tech­ni­cally, mem­o­riza­tion) than a per­son­al­ity test or “what [object in object class] are you?”

Cut for analy­sis, which men­tions lots of HTML tags you prob­a­bly don’t remem­ber, your­self.  If you’re going to take the […]

Careening Career Meme

September 15, 2007

I rarely, if ever, post the result of memes and I am a bit late to the party with that career meme that has been going around, but the results were so odd that I thought I would paste them here with com­ments.  For those not in the know, my cur­rent voca­tion (firmware) is about […]

“Works great on stains & odors from older adults with incontinence as well!”

April 17, 2004

I got a car­pet and fur­ni­ture cleaner today.  I absolutely love the detail level they went to in describ­ing on the bot­tle what exactly it cleans.  The bul­leted list includes fun stuff like: urine, vomit, feces, oil, smoke, manure, skunk, pet acci­dents [in case that wasn't cov­ered by any of the above, I guess], printer's […]

Sushi, Vertigo, and Kitties

March 1, 2004

Today: dis­cov­ered the magic that is Todai.  I think I have been NEAR var­i­ous Todai in the past, but never really ven­tured into one.  All-you-can-eat not-excellent-but-not-bad sushi and other fun Japan­ese foods!  The qual­ity wasn't too bad, but the selec­tion was awe­some!  They even had the weird cockle things I posted about in this entry.  […]

“We tried to stop her by hitting her fists and feet with out faces”

February 19, 2004

You’re The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
by Dou­glas Adams
Con­sid­ered by many to be one of the fun­ni­est peo­ple around, you are
quite an enter­tainer. You’ve also trav­eled to the far reaches of what you deem pos­si­ble,
often con­fused and unsure of your­self. Life con­tin­ues to jos­tle you around like a mar­ble,
but it’s shown you so much of the […]

Greetings From Dimension Obvious

Oh, gee…who'da thunk?
Which His­tor­i­cal Lunatic Are You?From the fecund loins of Rum and Mon­key.
Okay, who's sur­prised?  Show of hands?  I count.…what?…one.…two…no, you're just scratch­ing your head.  So one.  And you there, rais­ing your hand, you're in the wrong jour­nal, aren't you?  I thought so.  Well, I'm going to go back to my wireless now.

Bullet Points

November 11, 2003

So it has been awhile since I put pen to paper, or fin­gers to key­board, on this jour­nal.  A quick list of things of recent note:
– red­mae­nad vis­ited last week­end, and that was a very happy expe­ri­ence.  She got to see the kit­ties and Kate’s school.  They got to go out shop­ping for clothes.  She […]

Too Hot To Hoot.tooH oT toH ooT

August 15, 2003

It should not be 91 degrees in Port­land, should it?  (Of course, the image only shows the tem­per­a­ture NOW and it may not nec­es­sar­ily be 91 at the time you read this.) I hate Perl, but the exam­ple for the Geo::Weather mod­ule was rather infor­ma­tive and com­plete.
Haiku from that meme that was going around, […]

Random Patterns

May 8, 2003

Yester­day, Tim swapped the labels at work.

The power sup­ply on the MP3 backup server died the other day.  Instead of fix­ing it, I ended up get­ting an exter­nal firewire disk enclo­sure, put one of the 80 gig­gers in there, and plugged that into the desk­top. I still have to fig­ure out if I will do the […]
