Kids Say the Darndest Things

Filed under: Family — Administrator @ 10:56 pm

My 6 year-old triplets say some pretty funny things. Here are some recent gems.

Tiana

  • Can Jesus whistle?
  • What is under the street?

Serena

  • I’m so glad I’m not grass or water. I’m glad I’m me.

Spencer

  • When you say a prayer does it go up in the sky and bounce off the satellites?

Do sales people love SPAM?

Filed under: Technology — scott @ 5:24 pm

So for years I have had several email addresses for loadtestsing.com such as sales@ or support@ or webmaster@ etc. These inboxes are littered with spam since I have mailto: links on the website so crawlers can spider these inboxes pretty easily. Anyways, it’s interesting to note that the sales@ inbox gets a larger portion of SPAM than the other inboxes. So is this an indication that sales people consume more SPAM than others? Or is it just that one would assume this inbox would get more attention since it could lead to a sale? I guess we’ll have to ask the spammers. If some of you end up in hell can you ask them for me? :)

Wi-Fi with my #9

Filed under: Technology — scott @ 10:05 am

I had lunch at Togo’s in Lake Forest yesterday. While eating my sandwich (#9 of course) and salad combo, I also set up my laptop on their free Wi-Fi network. Now I’ve used Wi-Fi at many a Starbucks, Kinkos and hotels, but it was cool to send out a few emails and get through a few IM conversations with customers and colleagues in Asia over my #9. The 21st century is cool.

Great series on AJAX

Filed under: Technology — scott @ 11:47 am

OK, so you’re checking out Atlas, or DWR, or Rico, or Dojo, or the built in Ruby on Rails/AJAX support, etc., but some day, as is the case with almost all experiences with all 3rd-party “we hide the complexities from you” components, you’re probably going to have to do dive into the underbellies of AJAX that are Javascript, XMLHttpRequest, DOM, etc. If/when you do this is a great series to follow.
