Tee hee...
Why am I so pissed with the democrats right about now?

Loyalty.
Good friends are not only hard to find, they're damn near logical impossibilities. Thu, Jun. 18th, 2009, 12:06 pm

Was looking for a notebook to shove into my pocket for a bike to the coffee shop and found an old one with only one entry:

Have new friend: he is Ben.

Realpolitik?
I'll have to think about this more, but I believe I've just decided that concepts, ideas, and the like (any phrase with the word 'theory') are not, in fact, real.
More on this later. (What *does* 'real' mean, anyhow?) Thu, Jun. 4th, 2009, 03:44 am
XKCD
Not for the faint of heart...
Average time compressing a 40 minute episode to 110k aac and 120MB filesize h.264 on the old computer: two and a half hours.

Bluedity
Now that the results of googling "giant blue penis" are pretty much set in stone for the next decade... I'm off to another catch phrase.
How about "pendulous doom titties?"

So he won; noone has to move out of the country (except Rove, I'm sure...), and we don't have to mount a resistance. There'll be no shooting congresspeople from helicopters, and we won't have to have another president who looks like an effigy.
Also... thank sweet effin jesusy cheesitsticks that all worked. Sat, Oct. 18th, 2008, 05:53 am
Friends
I cleaned out some people from my friends page; I didn't remove anyone who listed me as a friend, so probably noone will notice. Sun, Sep. 28th, 2008, 04:54 am
Kosh
My tarantula just finished wiggling out of its old exoskeleton. Beforehand, it looked like a derelict bus; when I noticed the carapace separating I figured I'd better flip her onto her back before she tried to get out and hurt herself; now she's just got to reinflate.

The Confusion
Is it a scientific sin to accede to the power of a compelling explanation?
Yep; Queen Beryl wins every time, Sailor Gates. Also, with Mandriva and Ubuntu around, why exactly is Apple still in business? Oh, wait... yuppies. I forgot. Thu, May. 29th, 2008, 02:16 pm
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) marauderautarki posted some great stuff from the Obama camp: During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.
“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama
Other goals for his first 100 days: work out a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq; make progress on alternative energy plans and launch legislation to reform the health care system.Isn't that just awesome? Wed, May. 21st, 2008, 02:03 am
Anime... yay.
I'm going to Animazement this year (in Raleigh-Durham, NC); I welcome anyone to say hi while I'm there.
Creep me out. Sun, May. 18th, 2008, 11:51 pm

Anyone who programs for the internet knows that Microsoft's most perfidiously ubiquitous program, Internet Explorer, has some quirks. By 'quirks' I mean sadistic programming flaws.
When working with DOM manipulations in an XML document, you may, if you're using a compliant browser(≠IE), define your own properties for objects by typing something like, say,
obj.isSnootyProgrammerMalcontentWithFeatures = true
Later, you might have a function check this property to see if it should do something. Alternatively, you may want a shortcut from having to use obj.hasAttribute() or some other native functions to manipulate an object's properties. In the case that you're developing some client-side script whose object properties you want easily read back into server-side code (especially when otherwise they wouldn't be easily accessible), this is especially handy. Almost any nettish language will parse and gobble the contents of a javascript array, pretty much with nary a hint that you want it so... some even more automatically.
But no, IE refuses. DOM object properties not standard in IE are 'forgotten' after a few new actions. So, if you want to step around this, define an array to hold your properties and index your objects by obj.id, which any browser I've tested will remember. (Firefox remembers the custom properties without fail; Opera seems content as long as names don't violate certain odd conventions--caps aren't allowed; IE is just hopeless.)
In any case, yay internet programming.
So, I got some pliers, some copper rings, and a few other craft supplies at walmart the place whose name we dare not speak, and... ( FUZZY NIGHT TERRORS! )
You're working on a C++ program that writes out HTML containing Javascript. You confidently compile and run a test, noting that everything works perfectly fine except the Javascript. The problem? You've written 'int' instead of var all over... no 'string' or 'char' or 'float' or any other type declaration, just 'int' in place of 'var' in all your for loops.
Damn habit. Damnit.
EDIT:
Oh, and anyone in the habit of writing x^2 for x squared... keep in mind that ^ is bitwise XOR. You'll get fewer incomprehensible outputs that way.
Can't we rewind time and replace all rap and hip-hop with something like this?
Justin Timberlake is such a dork. Er, Mouseketeer, I mean...
EDIT: Sigh; the video has been removed. Perhaps one day it will reappear, and can be mocked indefinitely...
This had me in tears of laughter... I hope you enjoy it.
I'm sick of taking the world seriously. More than half of you out there are barely functioning automatons, and I really am tired of having to deal with you.
World, the polite thing to do at this point is to leave me the fuck alone.
Well, we've paid up our gas and electric bills until Feb, and the phone is also paid. For once, we've paid all our bills for a month on time.
The era of suckage is over. |
