Recent Nerdery

I drew my whole apartment on google sketchup in order to settle a discussion with my partner Sam over where we should move some chairs and tables. Sadly, it did not help.
Due to a nasty twitter post, I had to write up rot13 in ruby - which is of course hot.


#ruby on rot13

class String
  def rot13
    self.tr("A-Ma-mN-Zn-z", "N-Zn-zA-Ma-m")
  end
end

"Damn you @genmon !".rot13  # => Qnza lbh @trazba !

The combination of you using the word “partner” instead of girlfriend, and that your partner’s name is Sam, if I didn’t know you I’d guess you were gay and that Sam is a man. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just saying. In fact I encourage you to continue using the term partner to break up the stereotype on that word.

That’s what I’m after - Sam and I aren’t married, but Sam is my domestic partner. At work, I usually don’t mention Sam’s gender.
