More Light! More Light!

Maynard James Keenan of Tool and a A Perfect Circle is starting a mystic wine company.  At first I felt ripped off, which was retarded.   Now I’m wondering what it tastes like.  But I’m still hoping it’s a prank of some sort.

This about sums up the problem, the prediction and the solution.

My coworkers were chortling behind me about some hilarious commercials.

I couldn’t help but remember that once upon a time seat belts were after-market add-ons. When the legislation came out requiring them in cars, the same kind of folks were saying the same sort of things. Security and Liberty are always a balancing act - you can’t ever trump one with the other.

Don’t know what made me look like a spam blog, but I had to get reviewed by a human to turn posting back on.

Nate!

Nate and I have been geeking out together in NYC. He and Claudia took me and Sam to Brazil for carnival. He actually writes long entries in his blog that are worth reading if you are techie.

Hint hint, Acton. HINT.

I’m working on getting my team to have a sane support rotation so that folks can spend most of their time on development instead of constantly switching between tasks. It’s good because I’ll get more opportunities to do work. I’m thinking about sending tips like this: “How to Deal With An Irate Person” out to folks. I’m pretty good at handling people on the phone in tense situations, and it might help folks who don’t come by that naturally.

On the other hand, it might look a little preachy.

I’ve switched roles within my group - now I’m working on a new real-time application. I’ve also moved up a floor. I miss my old seat, pictured empty below in Tim’s post.

On the other hand, the new floor has a blender. Smoothies ahoy!

Something in internet land directed me to Steven Hargrove’s page on status 301 redirects, which we use at work. The real story here isn’t 301 redirects. No, the undercover awesomeness here is in the comments, when Eric Newman begins asking for help.

Steven Hargrove: How to redirect a web page, the smart way:

“and i know the source is correct because it gave me a source to use and it looks right to me i know this program works because i see other web pages work and it specified that windows xp can work which that is what im using (professional)and i talk with other people and they have no idea on this and i have one more question what is redirect web page mean im makeing pages from a web program called “web page maker v2″ i put the source to use the program after i create the page and i know i told where to look for it to”

Also:

“Please answer my question Mr.Hargrove i need to know and i have one more question to ask how do i get a sponsorship because i need a bigger harddrive,fast internet,some connections, and a pro of doing this business thing so please tell me i know i sound desprite sorry.If this will make you feel better i will have a link to this site.”

Ah, if it were only so simple.

After not publishing for approximately forever, Fafblog is back, and I only knew because I was faithful and reverent and had it in my bloglines.
Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog: After the end of the world.

“Albatross or not albatross?” says me.
“Hmmm… albatross!” says Giblets.
We reach in the ol cardboard box an pull out a rusty coke can. “Not albatross!” says me.
“This is stupid!” says Giblets. “Albatross Or Not Albatross is the lamest game ever!”
“Now to be fair it was a lot more excitin back before we ran outta albatrosses,” says me.

It only gets better from there. Fafblog is the thing on the internet most likely to cause my actual real face to have an actual real smile on it.
