You can't win

Ok so not much today, but what little there is I believe to be pretty good. Enjoy:

Phil: My project manager: "Why did we choose to use Hibernate? ... ... ... Fuck."
-just wow

Me: i offer you proof you can't win in life

Person subject = BabyFactory.newChild();
while(subject.isAlive())
try{
switch(subject.maturity){
case KID:
subject.school.start;
while(!subject.school.isDone())
subject.wait();
subject.work().start;
break;
case ADOLESCENT:
subject.highSchool.start();
while(!subject.highSchool.isDone())
subject.wait();
break;
case YOUNG_ADULT:
subject.college.start();
while(!subject.college.isDone())
subject.wait();
break;
case ADULT:
while(!subject.work.isDone())
subject.wait();
break;
case OLD:
subject.retire.start();
break;
default:
subject.die();
break;
}
subject.mature();

}catch(YourMotherNeverLovedYouException e){
logger.error("give up");
}catch(YoureAConstantDisappointmentToYourMotherAndIException e){
logger.error("why won't you give up?");
}catch(CripplingDepressionException e){
logger.severe("hang yourself");
}catch(SoulCrushingDefeatException e){
logger.fatal("you lose");
}catch(WinningLotteryException e){
subject.addHabit(Habits.COKE);
}
}

Phil: Inspirational. You catch all those exceptions then continue on with life.

Phil: Perfect
Phil: Plus now you've left room for not acting one's age if maturity gets misset.


All that being said, /wrists

Time for my new favorite drinking game: "Clean the apartment"...yes it's exactly as fun as it sounds. Good night Internet.

I have failed you Internet

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. Things have gotten a little busy for me. I welcome insanity from any of my peers to help keep this blog alive. For now, I give you today's tibits:

Upon waking up an hour early this morning, rather than roll over and go back to sleep. i awoke, and giggled like a schoolgirl as i did the long overdue linux partition on my desktop

Walt: question for you, if you can spear a second
Me: sure i can spear a second...if you can find a physical embodiment of one

Me: ok blackberry...NO
Me: BAD
Me: you know how it will autocorrect based on fatfingers?...it just changed "fid" to "god"
Phil: BAD DOGGY NO BISCUIT!

Davey: I got an org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE exception
-well done sir

I will try to be more active in posting the insanity generated by software developers. Good night Internet.

Re: Greet your corporate overlords.

This excerpt was from a conversation the day I was complaining heavily about Java. But really, is scanf() too much to ask for? You wrote printf() already!

Anyway:

Smokol: people have a tendency to lose flash drives/cds
so it makes some sense to me
but they should make it easier to get encrypted ones
Me: The making-things-easier committee meeting has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts. A board approved scheduling task force will be assembled and immediately put on developing an implementing a set of policies and a procedure for better scheduling the meetings of the making-things-easier committee. The task force is expected to present its paper to the executive board following approval by the making-things-easier committee.

Faith has been restored

We have waited for word from our Lord Garth for sometime and he has returned. Resurfaced and has graced us with his wisdom. Stand faithful with me brethren and expect some great things from Him. Also, I plan a special treat for St. Patrick's Day. I plan on producing some very interesting code for you and perhaps it will actually do something. Sorry there isn't much, but enjoy:

"Shut Up and Code" the new hit single from Ryanna Milk

Nicolai: i am not disappoint
-thanks bud

Tell me exactly what I am supposed to do
Now that I have allowed garbage collection
...
If you even try to load that java bean
I think I might have to kill -9

it's 2:15 on Monday. do you know where your productivity is?

For now, I must acquire nutrition in some form and take part in the glory of Monday night primetime. In the meantime we pray for the return of Garth and hope the new group will honor His word. Good night Internet.

Nuclear launch detected

Sorry I haven't been posting. I have thoroughly lost my mind due to the lack of internets for so long. Here are some from yesterday:

Nicolai: i might have just accidently the whole clearcase

Phil: Oh Christ is there something Java doesn't suck at?
Me: ?
Me: owning php
Me: that's about all i can think of
Phil:
Me: Hey, PHP... 600000 is a number. Remember that.
PHP: OK.
Me: Hey, PHP. What was that number?
PHP: 600000
Me: Hey, Java. 600000 is a number. Remember that.
Java: Yarp.
Me: Hey, Java. What was that number?
Java: 600,000!
Phil: Hey, Java. You realize you just took a shit all over my expensive comma-delimited file?
--Well played sir but stop hating on Java, Garth will not be pleased.

Phil: Everytime I try to do something beside "Hello World" in Java it's a horrifying battle. This fucking language is more incompetent and stubborn than my mother.
Phil: Haha, tricked it.
--OH NOES!!!!

Time for me to head back into insanity-land. I believe I've managed to come up with a data structure capable of mapping x-dimensional relationships. Whilst iterating a relationship executes in O(n) time, building the structure takes O(x*(n^2))...The beauty of it is that it is very simple to acquire sets such as the union or intersection between two relationships. Good night Internet.

Spice must flow

Matt is internet deprived, I also felt this was funny from a few days ago and deserved public light. Incidentally I hate JDBC. Strongly typed languages with overly aggressive type checking and no implicit casting intelligence have no business connecting to a database.

Phil:
java.sql.SQLException: 
Your database is mad at you:
No, it won't tell you what you've done
java.sql.Statement: You should know by now (Unknown)

Smokol: INSERT INTO apology (reason) VALUES (?)
