Archives

You know what sucks about Facebook and Twitter at the moment? There’s no easy way to go back and see any sort of archive of what your status was last month, last year, a couple years ago, etc… When I go to my Xanga and I want to re-live college, I totally can. I hope [...]

Smiley faces

I put smiley faces in my SVN repository commits in hopes that someone will find them in the future and be reminded to “have a nice day”.

Nested Left Joins?!

I didn’t know you could write MySQL queries like this, but I just did: SELECT it.*,a.name parent_primary_attribute,d.value primary_value FROM itemtype it LEFT JOIN (primaryattribute pa LEFT JOIN (itemtypeattribute_default d, itemtypeattribute a) ON (pa.attribute_id=d.attribute_id AND pa.attribute_id=a.id) ) ON (it.parent_id=pa.type_id AND d.type_id=it.id) WHERE it.id=’$id’”;

Evolution

If evolution plays out correctly, buttcheeks will be a way of the past. Dogs don’t have buttcheeks and don’t need to wip their butts. So therefore humans of the future will evolve to not have to wipe their butts.

last.fm = win

I’m probably late, but I just discovered the last.fm app for my Blackberry. I’ve discovered a perfect harmony across several of my devices thanks to last.fm. The first step has been to setup your iTunes to scrobble all your songs to last.fm every time you listen to something. Also, when you connect your iPod to [...]

Facebook is not Intelligent

Now seriously, why would you suggest that I become a fan of the competitor?

I’m Sick of Recursive Functions

In one of my recent projects, I’ve had to write a ton of recursive functions to iterate through tables whose foreign key references the same table. I’m sick of writing them, but I’ll have to say I’m pretty decent at writing them now.

Hey Carina… I’m Messing With Your Head.

I’ve been sending texts back and forth to this person who texted me by accident. The person still doesn’t know that i’m messing with her. She’s from El Paso due to the (915) area code. Here’s the transcript of our texts so far… I wonder how long I can drag this out. Apparently we work [...]
