Day: November 27, 2004

Target beats Walmart to the punch as first retailer to offer marijuana. I’m sure this link won’t hang around long and some Target IT person is sure to be on the chopping block. For prosperity I’ve save the HTML just for giggles but probably won’t put it up for fear of lawsuit. Before it is implied, no this is not done with photoshop. It is actually on Target’s real website.
If pot is not your thing, try some crack
Got the munchies? Here’s a cookbook.
There are two sexual related Target links but I’ll let you find those on your own. 

Links to other pictures:

• Marijuana Cookbook
• Unholy Handjob
• Crack
• Anal Cabaret

I need a good PHP reference. Suggestions?

I can understand software developers becoming schizophrenic and affected with multiple personality disorders. We often have people attacking us for blame or “why doesn’t this do that?” and then we have such conflicting rules in our lives like “meet the impossible deadline but don’t neglect the documentation or quality.” One of my favorite quality assurance quotes is “9 women can’t make a baby in 1 month.”

My roots are in software quality assurance but I’m basically a developer now. I know why and how to document software but we all know that often budget ($) and time just don’t allow for the documentation and correct coding.

But it’s so infuriating when you have to take on a project that is undocumented and obfuscated! I’m on what should be a simple simple project but the previous developer went ‘include happy’ (that is, writing 5-25 lines of code in one file and including it in another but not reusing it anywhere else) and tried to write this object oriented. This project did not deem the need for object oriented code. I’m about to pull my hair out.

I tried to get Sarah to join do a song but she clammed up. “Dad you’re so embarassing!”

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Woke this morning, added wood to the fire, lost the battle with the puppy on housebreaking (it’s going to take 3 concentrated days of effort) and decided to settle on some programming. Allowed myself to get lost in some blogging. I’ve been wanting to do a followup post to Spy Journal Blog Tips “How do I change my cursor?” and succeeded in posting “Styling the Cursor“. Now I can settle in for a long day of programming.
