  1. RT @experiencewa: Also this weekend is a free weekend at National Parks! http://bit.ly/GZgCB (via @nathanloehlein)
  2. Refactoring code, finding the equivalent of: "Some String".ToString(); Makes me wanna give up :-(
  3. The A/C has failed again in the office. I had a big lunch now I'm all warm and... sleepy...
  4. @LyndiT Eclipse: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.go...
  5. I'm disappointed that there aren't more sound effects on the web. I want to hear a *blam!* when I click a button.
  6. @LyndiT Steve McConnell wrote a book about software estimation: http://bit.ly/ZV5Xc
  7. @LyndiT Estimates are also bound the the scope of the project. If your scope changes, even just a little, your estimates have to be changed.
  8. @LyndiT Also, if you pad your dates, the project WILL expand to take up all of the time.
  9. @LyndiT At least double whatever your devs say. No joke. That's what my management does.
  10. @Subsparx RE: "there are better ways" I know ;-) But websites like @Lyndit's and my company's are big, unwieldy, and business-madness-driven
  11. Adding red Swingline stapler to shopping list.
  12. Forgot the stamp on a letter I put in a secured outgoing mailbox. Made note to mail carrier, then stapler jammed while affixing stamp.
  13. @Subsparx I'm currently working on rewriting my company's home page without tables.
  14. Get to rewrite a 421 line method. Lots of "If (something) then somethingElse = true" statements in there, too. Surprised?
  15. @nathanloehlein Yeeeeah, I've got some weird requirements.
  16. @nathanloehlein Got the W3C Validator to yell at me for putting DIVs in an A. Have to rethink this a little. Maybe with some jQuery?
  17. @nathanloehlein Link got trashed: #h-12.2.2
  18. @nathanloehlein Nested links are illegal (http://bit.ly/3x5gPY .2.2) but it doesn't say anything else is
  19. Block elements within an anchor don't have their text-decoration (underline) changed properly on hover, @nathanloehlein
  20. Ooo! Found a bug in Firefox! Have to look for it in Bugzilla.
