My Kindle version showed up this morning, a present to myself from November.  Thanks, past me!

Hey, it’s “the happy one”.  Hope it applies to you.

More of an “oh, shit, why did I buy all of these Girl Scout cookies?” day over here.

Mechanically Obfuscated Ad Spam Copy of Link bait-Hacker News Slash Dot cancer Considered Request To call to action


Considered harmful

Declarative statement opening statement blog. Stand back a little declarative statement, then double-pivot down with even more controversial declarative statement. Insult programming language beloved aesthetic idioms and assert more recent versions as superior. Including the statistics support that lack the Y-axis labels to shore up weak link bait, including declarative statement. Linus reference, invoke Dijkstra. Oh, everything looks bad if you remember it.

Benchmarks biased

While supporting misguided statement. Weak marginally misleading statement because I want to be on TechCrunch. Farmville.

If 1, then A
  
else if 2 then B
  
else if 3 then C
  
else / D otherwise
K & RC Support cite page references induction with reference to non sequitur Mythical Man Month.

Use the right tool for the right job. Grep more difficult. Appeal to authority. Fowler invocation stating Turing completeness. This is not NP complete. Try harder to grok.

UR doing it wrong

I suggest you try again. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. Finding a needle in a haystack is not difficult when each straw is computerized. Spare me your space age technobabble, Attila the Hun! Soothe us with sweet lies.

There is one cat on the computer. He is running a custom Mint Distro. This is a meme!

 

Use the right tool for the right job. Srsly. Down-voted into oblivion. Spolsky obscure link justifying the opposite position .. Atwoodian is a tautology.

Accusations of intellectual dishonesty



Off-handed reference to FizzBuzz reminiscent of the dream of pearls programming reference for my first Altair and frustration with the status quo.

CmdrTaco name down, dig in Digg, Y-Combinator sour grapes. I do not think it was physically possible but this both sucks and blows * *. Yes, if you make it look like an electrical fire. It is a kart, powered by my own sense of self-satisfaction.

Reference to the diagram of useless and misplaced frustration at Large Companies.Comments directed to patent trolls combined with witty acerbic statement concerning the uselessness Lessig and software patents.

Random bold concluding sentence.

Follow me. Read my blog. I have opinions.

I find this photo…just…dazzlingly disturbing.
Couldn’t even say why, but this feels like the visual equivalent of being told you’re eating human flesh.


It looks like a still frame from an old Python animation; I imagine Cryer continues to rise up, knocking Ashton’s head off, which then lands on what I choose to believe is the word “FAIL”.

“Some more scotch”

Just three songs, in a strange locale.

We had fun.

The chat room is working beautifully. It really is just like being in the office.
