Without Twitter, where else would you heard about "frog potion" and "skunkwork lab"?

Today would be a good day to pull my frog potion out of the skunkwork lab. It isn’t complete due to missing ingredients. [Source, Twitter, @selves]

Iron Man Non-spoiler Spoiler May 7, 2008 12:49 pm

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of Interest, TV / Movies , 2comments

I am now following @Bagadonuts because of this Tweet:

Re:"Iron Man"(2008)The script revealed Tony Stark(Iron Man) to be the creator of Dr. Otto Octavius’s tentacles from Spider-Man 2 (2004). [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]

Which is a shame that it doesn’t appear in the film because it makes the robots in the garage exponentially cooler! (and more believable)

Other great ones from @Bagadonuts:

Re:"The Dark Knight"(2008) As a joke one bat suit was made with nipples and presented to Christian Bale as the new and improved costume. [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]

Re:"Caddyshack"(1980)The noises the Gopher makes are vocalized by a dolphin, and those are the same ones used for “Flipper” series (1964). [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]

Re:"The Patriot"(2000) One of the redcoats (actually dummies) floating face down in the river after the “trap” is a dummy of John Travolta. [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]

Re:"Rain Man"(1988) During filmimg, both Hoffman and Cruise doubted the movie’s potential and jokingly called it, “Two Schmucks in a Car”. [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]

Take THAT you evil code! May 6, 2008 6:30 am

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : ColdFusion, Daily Life, HTML, Programming, Technology, XML , add a comment

Yes! I have been fighting a horrid coding problem and the code just lost! I beat it! I mean this is the type of problem that makes you have bald spots and want to give up programming for something less painful like digging latrines in third countries. This is like I’ve been trying to build a car engine but everything is in metric and all my tools are SAE and the client doesn’t care about the engine but really wants to know why the paint isn’t on the car yet. Oh how I want to be beyond the paint and putting the last bit of polish on the application. Today I should be able to make much progress. Oh wait, no I have to be at the body shop by 8am! Guess my workday will begin at 10am. How frustrating!
