Here are some funny error messages I made up.
“Internet Explorer is a piece of crap, and has decided to close on you.”
“00x000x00 – Unreferenced decision to close.”
“Kernel Panic – Woah! You ugly freak!”
Half of a quarter
Yeah. It’s me. I’d like to announce mathtex2.cgi!
Here is an example:
That has been cached so it doesn’t have to everytime that is loaded, call for latex, then dvipng.
I will be adding a math tag to the forums, which are here.
Update: The forums now are SMF which doesn’t allow custom BBCode.
Apple doesn’t use their own software
I noticed something very funny. Take a look at this source snippet (full web page is here):

My first mac
I read a story about Carl Nygren’s first iMac. It inspired me to right a story about how I encountered Macs.
At Cedar River Montessori School, there where some Macs from the Classic era. They had SimCity, and that was what they were used for. That was a very long time ago, about early 2000s. They ended being stored in a barn, where I would never see them again….
Fast-forward to December 25, 2007. That was the day I got my Mac Mini. I love it. It runs programs waaaaay faster than my Crapsta laptop.
It has died once and recently came back to life. Now you’ve been SERV’D! by it. (or him. Yes, it is a him, technically speaking. see here. It’s related because the mac is on irc.mozilla.org in #oksw, #mac, #bots, #classicrock, #shoutcast, and #astronomy as okswbot.)
But now this mac is your master.

Please note that TICHAT2 REQUIRES Omnicalc.
Post orginization
I organize my posts only by tags. Why?
Seriously, who ever heard of a category cloud?
Tags are shorter, and you can apply more than one to a post.
Why Windows Sucks
This is why Windows sucks for developers:
Look how long it takes Windows to build!
Linux could probably build 5 times in the time Windows takes to build once.
OS X could do at least 3 builds.
Update: Comments are closed on this fucking microtards.
Classic Rock!
Silverlight: Ruin the web
I hate Silverlight. Why?
- It’s not open source.
- It’s by Microsoft.
- It’s not simple.
So that’s why I made the campaign against it.
(Silverlight: Ruin the Web button will go here.)
I only have it so I can use sites that require it.
Here’s to an open-source clone!
Microsoft not buying Yahoo! after all
On Microsoft’s press release site:
“We continue to believe that our proposed acquisition made sense for Microsoft, Yahoo! and the market as a whole. Our goal in pursuing a combination with Yahoo! was to provide greater choice and innovation in the marketplace and create real value for our respective stockholders and employees,” said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft.
“Despite our best efforts, including raising our bid by roughly $5 billion, Yahoo! has not moved toward accepting our offer. After careful consideration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo! do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,” said Ballmer.
“We have a talented team in place and a compelling plan to grow our business through innovative new services and strategic transactions with other business partners. While Yahoo! would have accelerated our strategy, I am confident that we can continue to move forward toward our goals,” Ballmer said.
“We are investing heavily in new tools and Web experiences, we have dramatically improved our search performance and advertiser satisfaction, and we will continue to build our scale through organic growth and partnerships,” said Kevin Johnson, Microsoft president for platforms and services.
