A decade of people not listening to devs about standardization of data makes quite the mess when you are trying to import it to a new DB!
/\s*(.*)\s*-?\s*(\d.*?)\s*(Points|pts|stars)/i regular expressions never ever make sense at first glance, & yet they are totally invaluable.
Had a duh moment working last night, so I setup email notifications on deploy to production server so the team knows what version and who.
I'm so glad I'm a developer... I don't think I could take 14 hour days + weekends doing any other job.
OH: If we hired another developer I would start off by kicking the shit out of him, kind of like prison. Just so he knows what's going on.
Lost a game of "you touch it, you own it" with a ASP classic file when I fixed a date error. Darn, how do I trick someone else to touch it?
Looking at some code from about a month ago, and trying to lose my mind in the same way as when I wrote it so I can understand myself.
These tweets are made possible with wifi tethering on my nexus one. Thank you google!
People who use nerd on non-technical subjects like"wine nerd" bug me, as I'm someone who has worked to turn that from an insult to praise.
Shovelling snow. Weee. Wonder if I can buy a combination flamethrower/rock salt sprayer.
2 degrees outside right now & more snow later this week, I miss Vegas, where it's 40 degrees outside, and the sun isn't even up yet!
As I've gotten older I'm less likely to just jump in and start coding projects. I stop and think and write words instead of code.
You got an error on the internal system? Yeah, don't tell anyone about it, just keep trying to send that email notification. Great idea.
Every time I have a large script running and the time to completion looks to be weeks I always start to look at forking and threading.
Have really been enjoying rails 3. So much so, I forget ruby script/console to start up a console on older software. rails c FTW!
RT @LynnWallenstein: @danahern That's because devs don't care anymore since hardcopy is deemed old school. It is like win7 drivers for zip drives
Printers have been around as long as computers, and the drivers and software behind them still hasn't improved.
RT @ikesmusic: New song "We want the truth" up at http://www.isaacsloan.com about @wikileaks. Check it out. Calls out palin for suggesting he be murdered.
Trapped in an office with sick people. If I make it out healthy it will be a xmas miracle, most likely I'll be sick by the end of this week.
RT @shanemielke: Quote of the Day: "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine."
