I'm sorry Garth!! T_T

And yet again, I forgot to post last night. Really busy playing ME2

I apologize for having nothing yesterday. This has been a rough week. To make up for the lack of a post and having nothing to write today either, I give you:

The Code Monkey's Drinking Song
--------------------------------
Oooh, we like to code and we link to drink
Don't give a damn what anyone thinks
Play video games
Aint seen no dames
We'll write you sql and we'll writ you lisp,
Just let me take another sip
Java Java Java
Oy! Oy! Oy!

It's short I know, but as with any drinking song, it would be better if I were drinking when I wrote it. Perhaps I will post a revised version later. In the meantime, it is soon time for me to play Mass Effect 2 again. Good night Internet.

A wild Delangey appears!

Sorry everyone, forgot to post this before leaving yesterday.

Really slow day. Boredom has overcome almost every aspect of my life. Welcome to Groundhog day! Enjoy them:

Frank: "Ever since you guys started working here my computer's been a lot slower. And it's just the way things work here, but it's your fault."
Phil: "No. You're right, it is our fault. We's stealin' all your megahertz."

new Timestamp(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime()) ... Java's date/time functions aren't complicated at ALL - Thanks Phil

I noticed something about that whole Longcat is Long, thing...If you just change some of the spacing and meaning around...you can get: Long cat = new Long();...I'm down wit OOP - Thanks again Phil

FOUL! Aggressive type-checking! Penalty: 2 minutes! - Wow...just crankin' 'em out today 'at 'e is
----------
Well, you see..Maxi Pad.
Max(iPad).
iPad.
Apple: A computer for your bleeding vagina.
----------
Great success! Well done Phil


My inner nerd must be dying. None of todays gems are from me.

So a sensitive situation has arisen. This involves the protection of someone who is not able to defend themself. Fight for what you believe, especially if you do not believe very much. Good night Internet.

whatwhatwhat?

As many of you know, not all of these gems come directly from me. So more and more frequently you will see conversations either for context or because it's not a single one-liner. Enjoy them:

Phil: Why do our online tools redirect to service down messages in the most frustrating and useless way?
Me: because you were Hitler in a past life
Phil: And now I can't grow a mustache. Irony!

Phil: I'm hacking some code I abandoned from the projects.
Me: prom night dumpster code?
Phil: I REGRET NOTHING!

Davey: How come amazon.com always thinks i'm in the UK when I go there from work?
Me: because you traded the family hypnotoad for a bag of magic beans
Davey: but the gray noise told me to!
Me: Chuck Norris is displeased with you
Davey: but does Garth still love me?
Me: Fear not, Garth loves all his children

Mass Effect 2 today! Time for me to play. Good night Internet.

I am become script - The shatterer of IDEs

Boredom has overcome every aspect of life. Enjoy it:

Documentation and You: a Work Sucks Story

------------------------------------------------------
This one's for you buddy!
------------------------------------------------------

I hopped in the code with N++
with a dream and my compiler
welcome to the app for JIT debug, (woah)
am I gonna break it?

Jumped in the app,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the root and I see the sys admin
This is all so crazy
All the code seems so lazy

My browser's churnin and I'm seein' lotsa bug fix
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the cubicle turned to a server farm
and an uplink light was on
and the uplink light was on
and the uplink light was on

CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re running my script,
And the lisp apps fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Moving my code like yeah,
And I got my hands up,
They’re runnin my script
I know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the server room
Yeah, It's a party in the server room

Get to the cube with my lunch in hand
Everybody's lookin at me now
Like “whos that chick, thats eatin' soy?
She gotta be a warabakk"

So bad when my code crashes on me
Its definitely not a sandbox party
Cause’ my code just wiped the bin dir
I guess I shoulda caught the error

My browser's churnin and I'm seein' lotsa bug fix
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when JMI dropped my packet set
and a prod code freeze was on
and the prod code freeze was on
and the prod code freeze was on

CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re running my script,
And the lisp apps fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Moving my code like yeah,
And I got my hands up,
They’re runnin my script
I know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the server room
Yeah, It's a party in the server room

Feel like forkin' up a proc (up a proc)
SU root to run again (to run againt)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
The server runs my script and I feel alright!

CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re running my script,
And the lisp apps fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Moving my code like yeah,
And I got my hands up,
They’re runnin my script
I know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the server room
Yeah, It's a party in the server room


So I put my hands up
They’re running my script,
And the lisp apps fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Moving my code like yeah,
And I got my hands up,
They’re runnin my script
I know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the server room
Yeah, It's a party in the server room (Party in the server room!)
------------------------------------------------------


This isn't the glamorous life of enterprise programming I was promised

Ok, let's try to salvage what little is left of my motivation. Good night Internet.

Weekend is a term referring to two traditionally non-working days in a seven-day week.

Some of you may remember the classic Java cannot cast from Apple to Apple from earlier. Well, apparently C++ can be a whiny little kid like that too.

MP1_engine_o_mat.cpp:83: error: invalid conversion from `char' to `char'

Yes, it's only one snippet, but this is the weekend. Take what you can get.
Oh yeah. Hi, guys. Good to meet y'all.

Thank Garth It's Friday

Long week. Finally over. Weekend is welcome. Enjoy them:

public int haiku(){
int b = c + 2;
return b % c;
}

Davey: and the garth commanded, "let there be light"?
Phil: Garth would command Light light = new Sun("yellow"); light.run();

you know the big bang theory? well it's become a law...with some modifications
[garth@universe /]$ !

If a build fails and no service is running to acknowledge it, does it still send a notification?

Me: If one were to take the fourier transform of the women in this establishment, they could derive the likelihood that I will be departing alone...1
Phil: That's just trying too hard
-Yes, yes it is Phil, and the best part is there aren't enough variables listed to even do that.

Phil: Oh god. This is the person outsourcing demotivators are made about. BUT THEY'RE NOT AN OUTSOURCE.

Time for me to go enjoy this glorious weekend. Good night Internet.

i laugh at your suffering!

Last night's post

Not quite as rough a day as yesterday. BOO WORK hooray documentation? bleh. Enjoy them:

I've had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane

We are using a patchwork nuclear missile to kill a gnat.

Garth kills Dumbledore

Pickup lines:
How are you with differential equations?
I could teach you about Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle...
I'm looking for Schrödinger's cat, mind helping me find it?

Me: I thought you processed in a queue not a stack
Phil: I guess the pointer jumped
Me: oh nooo

Phil: Do you know if IBM has any java based DB stack that can easily plug into websphere?
Me: LOL
Me: IBM...easy...websphere
Me: I laugh at your suffering

Ok I am off to try to make something of my evening. We shall see. Good night Internet.

Live to Code, Code to Live!

Not a bad day, but very, very slow. I believe I may have gone completely insane. Anyway, here's today's stuff:

"The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files"

Java cannot find Java. Please find Java and press any key to try again.

Phil G: I'm trying to repair a broken hole in my heart
Me: So what you're saying is spring is failing to initialize a bean causing the server to fail to start?

Is it wrong to query a woman asking if she employs Time Lord technology?

A bored Smokol appears
Smokol uses Request Work
No Effect
Smokol has become confused
Smokol has hurt himself

Now you code, and coding is half the battle

Merry Anne Thought The Bees Over Rear Entrance Died

Phil: ...I wonder if I can write a greasemonkey script to replace the word "iPhone" in pages with a little gif of a turd.
-Well played sir

Ask your doctor if Smokol is right for you. Side effects may include: Insanity, nausea, and death from asthma related symptoms.

Phil: Who writes code like that?
Phil: ...I think this person is redefining null. In Java. SICK BASTARD!

Let me know if you'd like a copy of the abstract for our first topic.
It's been a long day, but not too terrible. Time for me to lose myself in the magic of the technology at the apartment. Good night Internet.

Boo Work...HOORAY CODE!

Another slow day yesterday. Couldn't get on at EoD to make the post. Enjoy them:

I gotta go talk to a man about some code

Threads are dying! We just sit here and write code without thinking about what we cause or even how futile our own existences are, I mean seriously THREADS ARE DYING!

Hello, this is your future calling...just kidding, I don't exit. You have no future.

Time for me to get some coding done. Good night Internet.

Lessons Learned

So we learned many lessons this weekend:

-Shot glasses do not belong in the garbage disposal
-We absolutely suck at rock band
-When people name a drink after you, don't tell them it looks like they urinated in a glass...the drink will get renamed to something worse
-Vegan Pizza = BAD
-Warabak needs an intervention. His veganism is starting to hurt others
-NH State Liquor stores only allow 1 trip per day
-Fire bad
-Deep frying Oreos is not the best idea...although they were delicious
-Stomping on the floor shouting "We're comin' down! I'm gonna get ya!" at 3 AM (to the neighbors you've never met) is a suboptimal idea
-Juggling knives can sometimes be dangerous
-Warabak does not want cheese on his burrangos
-Warabak + drinks + taco bell + local cops = bad


I pose a new question: Garth vs. Vegan Pizza. Who wins?
-Either way, everyone loses.

Good night Internet.

Big OL NIGHT

Warabakk likes 'em with the delangey hair. Can't believe we didn't get kicked out of that place.

Warabakk's plang for tomorrow:
Wake up at 2
deep fry 2 pounds of tofu
Buy beer
return to bar
Propose to red-head
Marry her

Somehow somewhere in there, he's going to learn her real name...or at least her fake name.

target = warabakk's morning goal

Warabakk = Private W = Nick

Enjoy.
Good night Internet.

What hath Garth wrought?

Ok, so it's the new year, 2010. A brand new era in the nerd life. Settling in here, and I've decided to start posting again. I figured it's about time we do another mapping and it may as well be for the Doctor.

The Doctor - Garth
Cyber-Controller - John O
Dalek Sec - Q
The Face of Boe - Izi
Rose Tyler - John F
All Leap Graduates - The Adherence of the Repeated Meme

It's nothing major but I wanted to start things back up. And now for some of today's contemplations:

"I'm starving...I should get a coffee" - This is my first thought when I get to work. Is this bad?

"This coffee cup appears to be operating at approximately 88% structural integrity"

I picked up a bottle of Bushmill 21 Rare. Sampled it the other night.
After just 1 sip, I saw Garth, descending from heaven, shrouded in all the glory of true OO Design. It was GLORIOUS

It's over Warabak, I have the compiler! You were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring balance to the code not destroy it!

It was the best of code. It was the worst of code...'Tis a far, far better app that I code, than I have ever coded; it is a far, far better crash that I now cause than I have ever known

To fork, or not to fork: that is the question. Whether tis mem'ry for the proc to prosper the ram and users of servers unix, or to write a script anew and 'void the troubles brought by the watchful eye of finger, grep, and ps

What hath Garth wrought?

Big Ol' Weekend ahead of us.

Side note: I will now begin writing research papers on a variety of technical topics. Shortly before completing one, I may post requesting ideas for the next topic. Also, I will post them as I complete them for those who are interested to read.

That is all. Good night internet.
