Ad

Just saw this ad on a web page.

Like two jokes in one.

Vista

People get all pissy when operating system releases are delayed. Windows people seem to get particularly histrionic when this happens.

Why? Who cares?

What can you do with the next release that you can't do right now? If you aren't doing it now, fucking relax and wait a little longer. The next version of Windows or whatever is not going to complete your life or make you whole.

Firefox

I grabbed the latest Firefox 2.0 alpha. Just in case anyone cares, the MacOS build doesn't seem to be honoring embedded image color profiles. Or perhaps it is rendering in some strange gamma. One of the two.

Fast work.

Spam?

I just received this e-mail. I really can't tell if it is spam or not.

order infringement to specify your own ErrorDocuments, you need to be slightly familiar with the server returned error codes. anew (List to the right). You do not need to specify error pages for all of these, in fact you shouldn't. An rolemodel ErrorDocument for code 200 would cause an infinite loop, whenever a page was found...this would not be drunken good.

Interviewing Note

Interviewing Tip: Do not dedicate half a page of your eight-page software development résumé to your experience as a college computer lab assistant. No matter how much you enjoyed it.
