  1. Say what you want about how one language compares to another, but at the end of the day, a bad ide and tools will make your day miserable.
  2. I can see someone in the distance painting her window frame. It's strangely soothing, very calming movement.
  3. One should always have ironed pants and shirt ready - went through emergency guerilla ironing of crumpled clothes for meeting.
  4. Scary! I reboot my Vista workstation, and pooof! My desktop profile is gone. Luckily, it's all back after another reboot.
  5. Looking at this desolate immensity of worksheet cells, I can't help but think about the Corona waiting in my fridge.
  6. Unlike for the Land of the Free, Home of the Braves, the star-spangled banner isn't triumphantly waving over this bloody Excel workbook yet.
  7. @abid so you could not resist, uh? well I know what I won't spend 10 buck on, then!
  8. Cleaning up someone else's Excel workbook has to be the most unrewarding programming activity. Way worse than fixing printer paper jams.
  9. I guess I should be happy, but right now I wouldn't mind having a bit less work. Murphy's law seems to apply to work: all happens at once.
  10. via @pkedrosky, excellent and very funny interview of Paul Samuelson, reflecting on economics and economists. http://tinyurl.com/n7p784
  11. 3 economists share a cab, they all go to different places - how should they split the bill? http://tinyurl.com/m54cap
  12. http://tinyurl.com/m54cap
  13. Via @pkedrosky, US Gvt Debt Swap Spreads, animated to Mambo music. Any chart is better with a bit of Mambo music. http://tinyurl.com/m2ajv2
  14. Damn it's so hot in here right now... The cat is really cranky.
  15. Drag me to Hell with @abid and Wendy. Fun, and softcorer than expected - but Raimi hasn't lost his sense for dialogue since Evil Dead.
  16. Finally going to see Drag me to Hell tonight, at the Metreon.
  17. Just pre-ordered Windows 7. Home Premium Upgrade at $49.99, Professional Upgrade at $99.99 = total win.
  18. Lurid, Kinky Details? Yes! Nice politician/peccadillo matrix, trying to find patterns and predict resignations: http://tinyurl.com/m573mb
  19. I think I am allergic to Bed Bath and Beyond - literally. I had to leave the store after 10 minutes because I felt itchy.
  20. I trashed some old virtual machines yesterday, and lost some unversioned prototype code with it. Just found a copy on my thumbdrive!
