SQUEEEEE!!!
· 🎉 excited
I NEED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE MY FAVORITE BAND COVERED MY OTHER FAVORITE BAND OMG!
Squick to the beat
I thought that Kesha was the guiltiest pleasure. But I was wrong: it’s Pitbull.
Technological tribulation II
God, I hate Python so much. /usr/lib/python2.[567] /usr/local/lib/python2.[567] easy_install pip virtualenv PYTHONPATH "No such module" fsck
Captain Obvious
Radio commercial: “Try the new hotels.com app. You can’t use it until you download it. But once you have, you’ve got it!” NO! I want to use this thing that I don’t have RIGHT NOW!
Suitable rationalization
Java projects build so quickly that I can’t use “compiling” as an excuse. Instead I use “Fetching origin.” Or “Updating Twitter.”
Staunch the Heartbleeding
LastPass added a Heartbleed security report that tells which passwords to change. Awesome! No one should manually manage their passwords.
Technological tribulation I
Drobo on Ubuntu? Perfect! Just plug in and format as ext3 and—oh, your volume is >8TB? You need to use NTFS. Full permissions for everyone!
Singularity
Singularity: The day we stop saying “Thank God for computers” in favor of “Thank computers for God”
Don't get the wrong impression
That God does not exist, I cannot deny. That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.
—Jean-Paul Sartre
No subscription, commercial free
Synology DiskStation NAS + Google Chromecast + Android device with Avia video streamer = yay 2014!! All our DVDs and Blu-rays on the NAS, streamable to the TV on demand in 1080p with a friendly touch-screen UI. It’s like Netflix but with all your own content!
Ludicrous munchkinry
With the aid of his allies, my 4E D&D character did over 12 million damage during our epic final confrontation with the Lady of Pain at the heart of the Sigil maze. #sploitz
Trust her instincts
Anna, in response to a random TV commercial: “I’m not sure why, but that is an odd-looking guy. Like a ventriloquist dummy, or like he’s wearing a mask of his own face.”
Irrefutable logic
Emily unfolded the printer trays, and insisted they stay that way. Rather exasperated, I asked her why. “So it can fly better!” I was convinced. :-)
Satisfying ending = auspicious beginning
2014 off to a great start: completed Ni No Kuni! 4 days, 46 clock hours, fifth to finish. Time to silence the mobile and sleep way in.
Warbling charlatan
I am pretending to be on Twitter.
Unacceptable risk
“Using defined methodologies is integral part of successfully supporting the technology needs of campus and UW System. Without a holistic approach, we risk meeting our goals, expectations and deadlines.” —UW-Madison Division of Information Technology
Solemn tastings
“Stop laughing when I’m licking you, dada! It’s not funny!”
Unspoken incredulity
Turned on NPR and heard: “…funded in part by the pajamagram company. Providing matching pajamas to you and your entire family, including cats and dogs.” In the most monotone, bored voice I have ever heard on that station. Could practically feel the “Really??” dripping out of the radio!
But Lost was still worse
· 🤬 irate
Grr Mentalist Red John finale.
Quandary
“I want more vegetables!” On the one hand, it’s 2 hours past her bedtime. On the other hand… my toddler just asked for more vegetables to eat. O_O
