Due to... being Really, Really, Really Busy, I don't expect that there will be a Take Outs on Thursday. Friday is iffy, too.
Tonight's counts: Blogging:2; Dev&WILY:17; Rants: 9; RS: 2; Security: 3; Tools: 1; WTF?: 3.
Line of the night: “Use at your own risk. May cause you look stupid in public if you repeat my asinine content verbatim“ is a safe rule to assume for all blogs.
We had a great Toastmaster's meeting at HDR today, but I was particularily blown away by Ann K. She gave an excellent talk about some wisdom she felt she could passdown to “our” generation. I'm hoping to talk her notes out of her so I can exactly state the points she made so well.
If you have the opportunity to join Toastmasters where you work or near by -- just do it. If that group is anything like mine, your small investment will payback huge dividends along with being a great time.
I was tabbed to be Quotemaster today, so my job was to deliver a few quotes. With Valentine's day just around the bend, I selected three quotes. Started by noting that the first time I read this, I though for sure it said “pants“ instead of “prints“
"Love is like standing on wet cement, the longer you stay the harder it is to leave and you can never go without leaving your prints behind."
Oleg wrote me that the Enjoy Every Report feed was broken. My fault, I pasted from Word into IE. Blooey! WordML formatting injection. Easy to fix, bad to have happen. Too bad that the “paste“ function in IE isn't smart enough to ask for just the text or a simplified XHTML version of the data.
Lesson learned: IESpell is your friend, don't trust Word.
