Yours didn’t come with the little bag first, to let the flavor out while it steeps?

1942

Big shmeal. :)

1943

Quality not quantity.

1944

Indeed.

1945

Heh. I’ve gotten lovely requests on my current project like: “make it look amazing but be sure to keep the code high quality and have all these features (basically the entire project) done so we can show it off at the meeting next week.”

I was alone on the project at the time and was in the second week of what was (ludicrously) scheduled to be a 6 week project. I’m now on week 10, I believe, and have had three additional programmers added to it. Why don’t people believe me when I say things will likely take three, four or even five times the amount of time they think it will?

It’s kind of weird listening to my luddite co-workers trying to extract information about Bruce Campbell from an internet they neither know nor understand.

When they saw his credits included Xena they assumed that the internet was giving them faulty information, since everyone knows Xena was a woman.

I tried the new ribs at Burger King today. I don’t know why, but I did. If anyone else here is thinking about trying them, don’t.

1948

I was sorely tempted from the way they looked in the ad copy and the paucity of good BBQ here in San Diego, but sanity took over.

1949

Thank you for biting the bullet for the rest of us.

1950

You can’t do that without giving us details.

Was it like a McRib, but with dog’s rawhide bones inside? That was my guess.

1951

Yeah, there needs to be an accompanying Whitta-esque photo journal.

1952

What happened to Google news? I used to be able to find stuff on there. Is it some sort of paywall nonsense?

1953

Not sure what you mean by this, it is working the same as it always has for me. Perhaps you have a trojan or something redirecting you?

1954

I went to bed at 8:58pm on a Friday night.

Youth: over.

1955

Huh. Tornado watch in effect until 8:00 pm.

Guess I should hook up the weather radio and keep watching the radar. And charge up my camera battery.

1956

I enjoyed the 12" version of Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round” coming up on Pandora way too much.

1957

I think peripheral vision developed specifically to spot spiders as they web down from the ceiling.

1958

We get a lot of tiny baby spiders dropping down from the skylight in our bathroom. I accidentally snorted one up my nose last week while taking a deep breath. I’m waiting for that special day when I feel a little tickle and then hundreds of spiders start pouring out of my sinuses.

1959

I would expect Gary to photograph that with a classic Whittapic™.

1960

Well, there goes my good night’s sleep.
