JohnAllenPaulos None of the 3 Mega Millions lottery winners, even if they’re not part of a group, will be as wealthy as Mitt Romney.
@heykatieben My weeds are celebrating!
D1 got her old TV shows mixed up. The A Team + The X Files = The A Files!
[her] You’re mean!
[him] No, I’m just average.
A software engineer is not an expert in your problem domain. He is an expert at listening to your problem and crafting software for it.
@pwbrewer I suppose by “thoughts”, you mean “those”… but “thoughts” is way funnier.
@BluMarTen I’d love to hear an SMS tone that is just a bare vocal from “Believe me”.
The “manager” macro on MS Outlook = [reply all] + “Thanks!” + [send]
D2 saves the day. Lost dog barking in our yard, name “Vampire” on collar, D2 said her friend’s dog was named Vamp, too! Found owner. Yay!
@egsavage iphone/ipad app development?
Beginning of the end: @WellsFargo bought @Wachovia. Now they’re cold-calling to sell insurance. Time to close my acct, move to credit union.
Score! I was just un-invited from a 2-hour meeting!
Apple Xcode 4.2 crashes when pull up help and it asks me for dev user/password. I type 1 letter & BOOM!
Spreading grass seed is like playing slot machines. Toss some here & there. Pretty soon your bucket is empty, and nothing to show for it.
In the same way that teenagers peel the stickers on their Toyota trucks to read “YO”, my @ncnearspace T-shirt now reads “N E R D”.
We folded early… it’s March 23rd, and we just turned on the air conditioner. #ncwx
At the elementary school spring “olympics” event. Apparently, a lot of guys here are named “daddy”. #wheresmykids
@jkennedy93 Aw, it’s not for us. It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.
Why does the Apple Developer web site not allow you to PASTE your (strong) password into the login form? Must TYPE a (much weaker) password.
markab I can’t state this enough: Programmers don’t burn out on hard work, they burn out on change-with-the-wind directives and not ‘shipping’.
If anyone asks, I have professional experience chasing wild geese. Within my organization, I am sought after because of this skill.
graulund Today is the spring equinox. At 5:14 AM UTC this morning, the Earth was inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. http://t.co/oDRmMvLA
FLASH! … BOOM!
Now I remember why I don’t normally open email or Twitter on my Mac. #productivity #distractions
@sfnet_ops According to http://t.co/HS6aRuuR -> It’s not just you! http://t.co/xtxFxiSf looks down from here.
What am I still doing at the office? I have WORK to do!
I can’t say that I am big fan of the new shortened “slide to unlock” bar on the iPhone (in iOS 5.1). Like the photo button, but not there.
My kids are sending me invoices for their weekly allowance.
It sure would be nice to leave the windows open at this time of year in NC. But night time thunderstorms mess up that plan.
Mmm, baklava… http://t.co/ULJiWrgJ
You know what tonight is??
Uh huh… it’s LADIES’ NIGHT OUT!
While the cat’s away…
The phrase “must possess excellent written and oral communication skills” certainly does not lead by example, does it?
Results are in — my Sonicare electric toothbrush can go two months on a single charge!
So proud of D1. Her picture was chosen for her school’s “mission patch” for when they talk to the Int’l Space Station! http://t.co/3k4tOx0g
Earlier today, I was assigning “Hogwarts staff” personalities to the project managers at $work. But now I am using the GOP nominees analogy.
3am: neighbor’s car alarm
[Q] what sound do the three unsolicited text messages from “CalcIQ Trivia Alerts” make at 2am? [A] It’s DING-DING… DING-DING… DING-DING!
Apparently, I am a deadbeat!
@sussurro Allscripts in Raleigh, position OP9443, Security Software Engineer
@BoraZ We should all consider donating $140 (1/10 the price of a Britannica set) to Wikipedia!
@sussurro I swear I saw another one yesterday, forget where… will ponder.

@marsroverdriver Your mom - and @TriLUG - were really wondering when you were coming to NC for a visit.
@jkennedy93 Freelance mobile app developer? <raises hand like Arnold Horshack> Ooh, ooh!
eaton Just to put things in perspective, iOS icons are now larger than the entire screen of the original 128k Macintosh.
This daylight chart explains the whole Daylight Saving Time nonsense better than I ever could. http://t.co/E7lInIRq
lectio @wilw To be fair, THE MAN gave you an extra day last month. So you’re still 23 hours in the black.
Working with D2 on her tree-climbing skills.
Apparently, the Happy Crabby does not observe Daylight Saving Time. http://t.co/IgO9FtQO

I want my hour back.
mtdotnet If I give the government an hour of my day for DST, why haven’t I earned any interest on it when I get it back in the fall? #curmudgeon
By the power of Grayskull !!
Uh oh, corporate IT Security department called me. They don’t like me running Windoze VM’s NAT-ed behind my more secure Linux box.
nfarina 30 years spent perfecting my skills as a programmer really come in handy for my current job of Being In Meetings All Day.
Discovered a fellow Pen Nerd at work (he even had http://t.co/oFgRmmYc open on his screen), gave me a Pilot Frixion erasable pen to try out!
Tired of “rkhunter” (intrusion detection) jumping every time it sees its own shadow. Deleting it now. // Coming up tomorrow: pwnership.
US general: “My biggest concern is Iran” // me: “My biggest concern is US over-reaction to Iran”
Uh oh, someone switched our project’s main wiki page to use Comic Sans font. I think this is an omen.
My friend Jonathan is certifiably crazy… he’s currently 15,000+ feet over Salisbury NC in a cluster balloon. http://t.co/PDeGrrM9
For the paranoid: “rkhunter” has found a suspicious program called “unhide.rb”. Apparently, it is used by… get this… rkhunter!
Drat, cafeteria is going into extreme cost-saving mode. Vegan burrito is primarily rice-filled, and served with a side of… rice. <sigh>
vihartvihart 99.999…% of mathematicians agree: .9 repeating equals 1.
Bummer, round-the-office walk was rained out.
