I'm sick. Of course, I'm on vacation. Why can't I be sick at a time I could use my sick leave?
That's all.

With out following the link I did see an add for this, my 1st thought was cool a baby monitor, but could it be used for other things like stalking or maybe something fun and kinky?

You could use it to monitor anyone, not just a baby, hm.

I don't know. Seems cool to me. It would make it way to easy to turn your iphone into a motion detecting bomb detonator though.

Bug FixCategory: programming
I love open source, we had a problem in a vendor library and we fixed it ourselves. If we had to wait for someone else to do it, who knows how long it would've been broken.
It was only a change to a couple lines of code, but it was very hard to track down. It took me and a co-worker a day of pair programming to narrow it down and figure out what to change, but damn it feels good to have done. And to have our specs and continuous integration running reliably again.
It was like 4 layers deep worth of metaprogramming. I feel like I know our spec library very, very well now. :)

This is the look on my face when I am skeptical of liberalism! Jk, jk. As strange as it is, I wanna tickle that kitten's belly and feed it some food.

More WorkCategory: work
Servers have been ordered. Clustering and failover designed. Weeks and months of testing and automation. Probably a hundred hours of work total. Super excited, I've been prepping this stuff for 6 months now and it's going to see the light of day.
We're going for paired mirrors to start, then splitting out each VM container type into their own tiered clusters as we need to add capacity and can judge bottlenecks.
I know no one cares about this but me, but it's my journal so, what the hell :)

I love omnigraffle. It is so great. I used to make flow charts in illustrator and man I was missing out.

Back in the day we used Rational Rose [cha-chinggg!] :::link::: but I think most people go with Microsoft Visio now :::link:::
For Macs I think OmniGraffle :::link::: takes the cakes. I used Illustrator :::link::: because that's what I had handy - but I wouldn't recommend it.

I actually am pretty interested. I need to learn this stuff if I am ever going to advance...
Btw, does anybody know where one can get a good, and open source, UML diagram making program for xp? Maybe also one that's really good for playing around with database table structures?
While I respect macs, I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon...
Feel free to message me to avoid cluttering up these comments.

Heh, my boss once asked me for a UML diagram. When I delivered it I said that a Java programmer would have probably made a more accurate diagram, but only a Mac programmer would have made a diagram with drop shadows.

Hope you get well soon!! Good Luck and happy holidays!
Feel better quickly.
It sucks to be sick when on vacation - but it especially sucks to be sick on vacation/holiday. Hope you feel better soon.
