Thanks for the vote of confidence

Let's say for the sake of argument that you've taken your car to the mechanic to get its frangizipple alternated. He knows that you're not going to be able to pay him, but he agrees to do the work because you've been a decent customer in the past, and have been eyeing the high-margin hybrid on the lot. The mechanic tells you that it is going to be a while before he can get to it, because he has other paying customers to take care of first. Do you:

  1. Ask when the work might be done?
  2. Help things along by explaining to the mechanic in precise terms just how to alternate a frangizipple?

Here's a tip. If you answer (b), you better damn well have a lift in your garage with all the necessary accouterments, not to mention lightning reflexes to avoid the frangizipple that is going to come flying at your idiot little head.

Just sayin'.

Thanks for the reminder

Came across an item urging full feeds in your RSS (Full feeds: helping us help you), which is something I prefer but had never actually bothered to check on for my own blog. Turns out I was only publishing excerpts, so I've gone ahead and made the changeover to the full feed. I doubt there are many out there who care, but for what it's worth, enjoy.

Gra-awr!!!

Behold, the JavaMonster. He is a manifestation of the beast that prevents me from fully understanding the mysteries of how a Java application (specifically a web application) works.

*sigh*

I'm not familiar with all these positions, but I think the top one is called "The Hoover."

Recycling is good, right?

Here's an interesting pair of movies, both playing with images of 9/11. "Flesh" is a short film combining erotica with the destruction of the twin towers, and "Ocean's 9/11" is a mashup between "Ocean's 11" and the infamous date.

I'm not sure I know what to make of either one.

Let there be light

Funky subway lighting at a subway entrance in Montreal that looked like interlocking bucky balls.
