Perfect Programming

Perfect Programming published on 2 Comments on Perfect Programming

Take a look at what perfect programming looks like.
Sleek. Stylish. Hard to fathom.

Every programmer out there wants to be the best. They want to know the perfect programming language and the best way to lay down their funky lines of code.
It is an endless quest and I believe it is the REAL reason they code.

Secretly, they hope to create something so pure and innovative that the rest of the programming community worldwide will laude them for their achievement for all eternity.
Not such a bad goal to have when you think about it.

Of course,some coders already believe they have reached their pinnacle. they suffer from “perfect programmer syndrome”

perfect programmer syndrome: n.
Arrogance; the egotistical conviction that one is above normal human error. Most frequently found among programmers of some native ability but relatively little experience (especially new graduates; their perceptions may be distorted by a history of excellent performance at solvingtoy problems). “Of course my program is correct, there is no need to test it.” “Yes, I can see there may be a problem here, but I’ll never type rm -r /while inroot mode.”

All I know is that these guys can do cool stuff as well as scary stuff. So you should be very nice to them at all times. It is a little known fact that programmers actually love hugs!! (It is 100%true, but they will very forcefully deny it)
So why not make the code-wrangler in your office feel happier?
Go on – give your programmer/s a big hug today!

Website Gag

Website Gag published on No Comments on Website Gag

At first, emails gave people a way to recycle old jokes. Now, the internet increases that capability exponentially.
I still get sent “hilarious” emails and links to “new jokes” that I have already seen at least 5 times, over the course of the past 8 – 10 years.

It seems that it simply takes this long for some people to finally be sent the gag.
And as soon as some people see that joke, they think “Oh, what a simply brilliant piece of comedic hilarity! I MUST share this with everyone in my email address book and/or all my facebook friends.

I propose that the respective governments of the world combine their forces to create a team of specialists, whose sole purpose is to tag all the jokes on the internet with a creation date. That way, when you get something funny, you can see how old it is.
If the date of creation exceeds 8months, then you would know that sending this “joke” on to all the people you are connected to online it probably not necessary.
Instead, select a few people that you are at least 80% sure would not have seen it before,and just forward it on to them.

All jokes over a certain age should than be retired from doing the rounds online, and used again ONLY in emergency or nostalgic situations.

This plan of approach – which I have called the “Comedic Retirement Initiative” (C.R.I.) – is a sure fire way to make the interwebz and email channels of the world much more enjoyable for all who enter them.

NOTE: Any joke that can clearly be classified as a “Dad Joke” is excluded from the C.R.I.

Seriously?
You really need a hint? The webs on the computer and title on the presentation don’t help out?

Pac Snack

Pac Snack published on 1 Comment on Pac Snack

Between Pac Man and the Ghostbusters, there should be no ghosts left anywhere on earth.
According to my calculations*, a partnership between these two forces for good, would wipe out all ghost activity on the planet earth in 12 weeks, 3 days and 10hours.

Ok, so I am very aware that this is the third Pac Man comic I have done (and the second within 2 weeks of each other).
I just like the little guy so much!
But I vow to you all, that I will take a break  from using Paccy in a comic again for a while. Of course, the length of time that this vow lasts for is totally open to my own whims.

In case this is your first time here, the previous Pac Man comics are:

– Pac Man on Social Media

– Pac Man Drunk

 

On a personal note, I am pretty happy with how this comic has turned out. I spent a LOT of time messing with the layout, trying to get this to work. I hope you like it too.

 

 

*Calculations may be totally made up, but you can’t prove a thing!!

Dangerous Clouds

Dangerous Clouds published on 1 Comment on Dangerous Clouds

The practice of cloud computing is here to stay.
Like it or not, you will be storing or accessing items in ‘the cloud’ for many years to come.

Already, the term ‘the cloud’ is not completly accurate, as there are now many different ‘clouds’ out there.
Think of it as a ‘Cloudscape’, if you will.
It is made of some very large cloud locations, such as the Amazon cloud, Microsoft cloud, the Sony PSN cloud and the Google cloud. Of course, there are many other smaller clouds as well. (Geez – I am sick of writing the word cloud already).

This shared cyberspace is already very splintered, so it is best to think of it in terms of what these different clouds offer, from a service point of view. It breaks down into 5 basic  “cloud services” markets.

These are:

– web-based services (eg: Google & Flickr)
– software-as-a-service (SAAS) offerings (eg: Box.net & Microsoft Exchange online)
– app-components-as-a-service  (eg: Google APIs & MSalesforce App Exchange)
– software-platform-as-a-service (eg: salesforce.com & Netsuite)
– virtual-infrastructure-as-a-service (eg: Akami)

For many, this all means pretty much nothing and the bottom line here is that pretty much every man & his dog is in the cloud now.
So, you need to unclench and just embrace it.

You should even start to learn some of the cloud computing terminology that comes with the territory.
Then, when people discuss it with you, you won’t seem to be in such of a fog.
