  1. I'm convinced PDEng is some grad student's elaborate study into the effects of psychological terrorism.
  2. @Workshopshed Nope, no spam. It's just we're stuck on svn 1.5.x, and the merge functionality is kind of wonky.
  3. Canadians mobs are the most courteous ever. Complete bedlam in Ottawa tonight, but people still apologize when you run into them.
  4. Dear svn:mergeinfo, I don't know who you are or where you came from. but please go away. Love, Mike
  5. Even bread far too stale for use in any other form still may make excellent toast. Or grilled cheese.
  6. Boss also stumped by a bizarre obstacle that's been confounding me all day. His conclusion: "I think you somehow attract these problems."
  7. @jaho I hadn't seen it until your tweet. I knew they were close, but that's amazing.
  8. In a bizarre case of mistaken identity, I appear to be caught in a Follow Friday love-fest with several complete strangers.
  9. @Elumir This is for mobile. Prepaid is the best way to get a phone now, and they know it. They'll do anything to keep people on post-paid.
  10. Just halved my phone bill. Seriously, anyone on Telus who doesn't call up periodically and threaten to switch is ripping themselves off.
  11. @mezzoblue IE6 is like reading the Psalms. You can think you've got it all down, but somehow each look still reveals something new.
  12. Question: Has "enrobed" ever been used to describe anything other than chocolate-covered confections?
  13. Nothing quite like getting to the bottom of a lengthy setup tutorial, and discovering it's the first page of nine.
  14. My procrastination multitasks poorly. As soon as I try to put off too many tasks at once, they start getting done.
  15. @Elumir Enable Quick Links in Labs, and add a link to that search result. Presto.
  16. Aha. Rogue email accidentally sent to spam folder, now rescued. Confidence in sanity restored.
  17. Unable to locate an email I definitely received on Saturday. That I am now insane is being contemplated as a distinct possibility.
  18. Slumming it on public transit for the week, as I had to leave @redontheroad in Kingston with @taralorraine.
  19. @ezod Seems clever, but over-engineered. Get an AMOD AGL3080. It's the perfect tracker for data nerds.
  20. Cutting out early to cycle to Kingston. Follow @redontheroad for the gory details.
