  1. @JMBucknall bullshit; otherwise sites like Daily WTF wouldn't have a huge fan base :-)
  2. @JMBucknall It's funny how fine the line is between awesome code and unmaintainable code.
  3. @JMBucknall I'd describe that code as "way too clever." It's tough to understand what it's doing, and there are no comments.
  4. Was just researching something and found the answer in a forum post I wrote 9 years ago. Gotta love the long-term memory archive.
  5. @jdanton that has a label!
  6. @jdanton right. You didn't tell me what the price was.
  7. @jdanton this looks really good: pinkgaloshes.com/reserva-aneja-…
  8. @jdanton which is?
  9. @jdanton That's all it's called? "Aged?"
  10. @jdanton how will you know that you're not getting a bottle of Bacardi that someone soaked the label off of?
  11. @jdanton Barrilito!
  12. @jdanton why are you on twitter and not eating roast pork?
  13. @buckwoody @tjaybelt @Mike_Fal I prefer to leave the "P" off so that I can chuckle a bit as I type it in. Me+my 14-year-old sensibilities.
  14. @tjaybelt @buckwoody At least you didn't buy yourself the box of Ding Dongs. And then eat them yourself. In the dark. Not that I ever have.
  15. @tjaybelt @buckwoody I use my birthday, because honestly, no one ever remembers my birthday!
  16. @SQLCraftsman you're surprised? @delta was named worst major carrier by US News in 2010; it needs to keep proving it! travel.usnews.com/features/Ameri…
  17. @grrl_geek @ryanjadams @SQLCraftsman @sqldba thanks!
  18. Who runs the #sqlpass Performance VC?
