You know what's awesome about combing through a 250MB log file for errors? NOTHING.
I have to agree with @k_shehadeh. The new version of WordPress is just a quantum leap forward.
@prodigious Oh holy crap. I'd completely forgotten about that. Good times.
@prodigious Or the *gooder* old days, when there were only Magic-Users, who at early levels could be killed by an ill-timed sneeze.
@prodigious I know what you mean. The real world needs to leave D&D alone. As long as Dire Chipmunks aren't real, though, I'm good.
Of all the things I love about D&D, I think the thing I love most is the Dire Badger. http://tinyurl.com/mtmss
I'm trying to take a picture of myself that doesn't bring to mind words like "deranged" and "sociopath". It's distressingly difficult.
My dream is to one day unintentionally use "malapropism" in place of a similar sounding word, thus causing the English language to implode.
Stunning rendition of Dream Baby Dream from Bruce Springsteen. Just stunning. http://tinyurl.com/69gek3
Firefox is now consuming 716MB of memory on my box. What. The. Fuck.
I'm warming to the Google Reader redesign. Easier on the eyes, and being able to collapse sections is unexpectedly awesome.
Found a site that hosts older versions of Safari, with Webkit baked into app bundles themselves. Very very nice. http://tinyurl.com/287ct7
They're playing Tom Waits music at my Starbucks. Fairly tame, non-insane Tom Waits music, but still. It's awesome and weird.
@redcrowkater Agree. But it's not so much the Christmas music, it's the VERY LOUD CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I'm being deafened by good cheer.
Operationalize: my new most unfavorite word. "-ize" is like a lexical tumor. It's a suffix of mass destruction. It must be stopped.
TPM: "... major rating agencies are paid by the companies they rate, which certainly creates perverse incentives." http://tinyurl.com/6qrhn4
Here's a financial headline I'd love to see: "Stocks plummet because I don't know why." Really, it's the only honest thing to say.
Cool way to do tail recursion: http://tinyurl.com/6h9k52. Methods return closures that are called from a simple loop. No stack growth.
Here's the 2008 Civics quiz given to a random sampling of Americans: http://tinyurl.com/2el6g3. Average score: 49%. College educators: 55%.
The story seems to have settled into a style that manages to parody Faulkner, McCarthy, *and* Hemingway. Badly. I'm absurdly proud of this.
