Well, I sent out three resumes, two blind to startups that have probably already filled their positions, and one to Clearwire, which needs PHP gurus. I also heard back from a recruiter that a company is looking for two people to fill the job I used to do for Isilon; maybe I can convince them just to hire me to do both. Dunno. That'd be fun.

Cranky Old Man Alert!

Sigh. Sometimes, kids are so clueless. I bet my parents didn't have to explain to me, like I did to Yamaraashi-chan, that her current favorite song, "Low" by the rapper FLO Rida, isn't about looking good on a dance floor, but is an open admiration about how good a certain slutty woman is at oral sex.

Geez.

Ruby is just an excuse for people who once loved spaghetti code, who wanted to be “the smartest guy in the room,” and who wanted to be indispensible, to get back at everyone who loved Python and thought that there was finally a decent way to write disciplined code.

Everyone talks about how nice Ruby folks are.  Ruby is vengeance with a smile.  After spending several hours digging through a Rails app trying to figure out where the hell all of these invocations are coming from, where they’re defined, and what they do (the whole “we can arbitrarily redefine typographic symbols!” thing is insane!), I’ve just gotten to the point where I want to growl, “Wanna know how I got these scars?

I just tried make an authentic 19th century daquiri: a shot and a half of cheap rum, a half shot of lime juice, and a quarter shot of agave syrup. The Cubans seemed to think it might cure malaria. Well, it'll keep you ignorant of the symptoms, all right, but... yuck.

If I wasn't broke, I'd lay out good cash for some tequila and Cointreau and make some decent frozen margaritas. It's the season, and the weather for it.

I think I'll stick to shandys for the time being.
