Drooling idiot
I’m still a moron. Two nights ago I was in my usual hangout. The usual set of people was there, plus someone I hadn’t seen before. That’s when the seemingly random attraction-bug bit: I’m around other people all the time, but suddenly I actually had an interest (which doesn’t genuinely happen to me often). Sadly, my stupid brain immediately shut down. She even tried to make a little joke with me, and I just blurted something incoherent. I had plenty of time to start a conversation with this lovely creature, but all I had running through my head was the mental equivalent of white-noise. At times, I am awkwardness personified.
Web-tard
I was chatting with dnm about an extremely perverse use of onLoad() and onUnload() hanlders on the Salomon-Smith-Barney web site. His reply was “Web applications are the Special Olympics of software. No offense to the Special Olympics.” Beautiful. Having spent several years competing in just such an “event” (with clients who still insist on Netscape 4.7 compatability), I have to agree.
Muadib is a DJ
I have to wonder if Fatboy Slim actually intended to make a Dune reference in his track Weapon of Choice. “Walk without rythm, and you won’t attract the worm.”?
