Rang in the new year with karaoke and everyone lounging in thier pajamas. It was a great time. So much, just so much.
Ok, why is it that when I no longer am looking for employment that I start getting insane job offers? Fine, it's just headhunters cold-calling, but it's still rather frustrating. Not only am I not interested, but I am in no position to even consider them even if I was. Where were you people a year ago? That said, anyone looking for web dev jobs? (yes, jobs, plural)
Picked up my visa today. Now all there is left is getting my crap packed up and to getting on a plane ... 81 days!
Update: oh, and while I was out picking up my visa, my copy of this arrived. How apropos.
Windows, Mac, Linux - What's your preference and why?
Submitted by ramblingsbymark.
Mac. Simple, straight-forward, easy.
This might sound like a plea from someone who doesn't like or use computers, but honestly, I'm not at all. I've installed Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD with great, although mildly timeconsuming success. I loved those, too, but, too much time wasted constantly "messing" around with.
I love the command-line. I used Windows 3.11 with Trumpet Winsock to get on the internet back in the days before Windows 95 (wow, was dialup easy after that), and hated Mac back then.
But then OSX came out and my nerdly tendencies were drawn to it. BSD? check. Command-line if needed? Check.
But more importantly, the tools just got out of my way to let me get my work done.
Irony: I use my Mac to do work and dual-boot into Bootcamp/Windows to play video games. And Windows is the business OS? ah-well.
Yes, I know it's only Wednesday. But it has been a long week already. All I want to do now is to head home and play some World of Warcraft with my buddies and relax. I wanted to do the same thing last night, but ended up staying until 11.30pm at work. Crazy, crazy stuff.
It's been a mad-house at the office the past month and a half, but I think it's finally subsided. We'll see, I guess.
FIRST POST!!!!
Oh, I remember the days I could count on 1 hand how many email addresses I had. Well, I suppose I technically have those ones now, don't I? I just don't use more than 2-3 anymore. It feels like this blog is like the many addresses I accumulated over the years. However, this is a really slick little piece of work. So, here's my inaugural posting on this-here site. We'll see what this funk-a-delic freak show will turn into, now won't we?
To keep things a little, shall we say, interesting, here's a post of a fire. A big fuckin' fire. WOO HOO!
