Aj/: can you check that for me
Syd: Could you please elaborate the issue?

Syd: Thank you for the details.
Syd: Let me help you in this regard.

Syd: Yes you can buy two 1 GB RAM slots and install it in the notebook
Syd: so that the notebook will have 2 GB RAM.

Parking Lot

I love the term parking lot and I often try to sneak it into my conversations in class. The term means to sideline someones train of thought or suggestion because it's really not on topic but it's something to remember.

"Don't make me parking lot you!" Yes, I say this and yes it's only funny to me.

Twitter Bio's

I think I'm going to start posting Twitter bio's that are funny in a programming/nerdy way. I've seen several that use code to describe themselves.

Unfortunately I can't remember who has these cool bio's, I guess I'll have to post them as I find them.

I will leave you with this one, no code, just like it.

Migration Season

I was thinking today that maybe I should expand my topics that I post about on my blog. I have been focusing on programming nerdy posts but now I think I will migrate into posting about anything related to Business Analyst. If you are unsure of what a Business Analyst does or you THINK you know, you should google it 'cause you might be surprised.

Leica is like...

Last night I was with a group of people and I had my camera out. I mentioned that my Leica is my baby and the person on my left didn't know what a Leica was. Well early in the evening he had mentioned that he was a programmer. I now know that if you can compare anything using programming terms it will instantly be understood, otherwise forgetaboutit, it's not going to compile.
