April 30 -- Spring Haiku Time!
HijiNKS Ensue - Saying Goodbye Is The Hardest Partition (Backups? Are your friends) ow.ly/4waN
A cautionary tale. If I have learned anything with working with or owning computers for the past 25-ish years, it's that hard drive failure is inevitable, and in direct ratio to the importance of the irreplaceable data you have.
Today I will have my first bowl of Corn Flakes in 15+years. Thank you, So Delicious Coconut Milk.
...has become reacquainted with the delicate art of balancing the ratio of Corn Flakes to milk so that it comes out even.
It tasted like milk enough that I might actually drink it straight -- like skim, not full-bodied -- but in cereal, it really really rocked. (I take it all back, God, You DO love me.)
One nation, seven sins - Las Vegas Sun ow.ly/4xDw -- Cool graphic of where our national sins are, statistically.
How does your region stack up? Why am I not surprised that the Bible Belt scores kind of badly on most of these?
RT @scifri: Today is National Honesty Day. Really.
Would I lie to you?
Behold, I have become the Garden Destroyer! Take THAT, weeds!
Every time the breeze blows, hundreds of maple blossoms fall on the yard. The ground is turning yellow-green.
isiscolo pointed out that this almost made a haiku, and improved on it thusly:
Maple blossoms fall
Ground is turning yellow-green
Every time it blows.
Awwwww!
Remains of a lost American explorer found ow.ly/4C6x (There's a Tony Hillerman mystery in there, for sure.)
I hit a wall with the stupid book about JavaScript and Ajax and PHP where the next chapter's exercize on putting together a simple page that updates a clock just.doesn't.work. -- I even went to the website and downloaded their code for one of the exercizes and it just doesn't run on my system, so I know it wasn't a typo on my part. Feh. One of the hazards of trying to learn on your own, nobody to explain to you just where you've gone wrong.
I suspect there's something in the way that PHP or whatever is set up on my iBook that's at the heart of the problem because I'm not getting any errors. Today I'll see about trying to run it on something else....
