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.

IceTea wins a Nobel Peace Prize, not really!

Aj,

Finished four COMPLETE boxes of Kleenex last night whilst watching back to back to back L&O episodes on TNT and USA and wherever else I could find it.

I love L&O, although there really is only so much bad acting one can take from IceTea.

Have you ever seen Ice Tea's wife -- she has had EVERY kind of implant -- breasts, butt, etc. Hilarious -- she looks like a cross between a cartoon character and a 12 year old boy from Iowa's dream girl.

Aj,

Can you imagine, but some weird twist of fate that IceTea wins a Nobel prize. He has to drag what looks like a porn star up on the podium with him to receive it.

Ugh.

This isn't an ism, not a Milberyism or a non-Milberyism but it bodes well with our geeky side.

Please discipline codegirl and make her code very difficult AJAX

I have needs at work like all of us girls do. For me, I don't want to be a girl dropped into the coding pit to be awed and then broken by Senior PHP engineers wielding grim and terrible caching weapons. Rails engineers by the thousands marching, marching against everyone, on every border while I draw well water shot through with ponderings of the scalability issues with PHP, and how for form to exist in our physical universe it must be have a name. If matter or a form cannot be named, it cannot exist.

I don't want to fight sexy ATG boys about AJAX performance within droplets, I don't want to bicker in the morning concerning why JQuery is the proper and correct framework, all the time everytime. It's ok. I love you guys. I do. I worship you Warcraft playing, contract working, hordes of luscious web men. I know what you love. I want to be there for you.

I will code the HTML you don't want to. It's ok. I don't mind. I like it. I will code it handcuffed if you want. It's ok. If I'm too slow, or if you check and my adhering to standards is inappropriate or my fumbling, adolescent understanding of the finer point of JSON infuriate you, you can tear my stockings. They were expensive, and I bought them for work. They were my only pair. I am a humble code girl.

Do you need me to do the Apache configs? Ok. I will. I will do anything. I will wear backseam black stockings and rack servers for you. I will wear long skirts and ballet flats and sit close to you and put Arby's sauce on your Roast Beef. I will eat what you order for me.

What makes codegirl the most happy is working in the service of many codeboys at once. A studio full of codeboys are always in need of support to keep them at their best. You need fruit. You need soda. You need me to cook for codeboys each day for lunch Naked.

I want to learn lots about coding. I secretly want to overtake codeboys and steal their knowledge, but the deep training and sensitivity of codeboys make it impossible to deceive them. They know. So, I must answer phones at times, or take care of office chores. They know I don't like it. I do a good job, but they must discipline me to make me strong.

Codegirl can come to your office.

1 reason why I have been banned from Java Jokes and jokes in general.

\jm

After class today I went up to \bi and \eg and as usual I was Java Joking around when I came up with the following.

kick.rightNode && kick.leftNode == noChildren

\aj

Old Random Bad Java Humor, or attempt at it.

\jm,

I bet your girl told you that you couldn't hang out with other girls instantiating code.

\aj
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\aj,

As long as I don't implement any other interfaces she usually doesn't throw an exception ;o)

\jm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\jm,

hahahaha

I have no good reply right now, my stack is empty.

\aj
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

return unnecessaryJavaJokesHelper( badJavaJoke, groanString );
// I'm using recursion, \jm...

\eg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In all honesty, our relationship is going through a rough patch - but things have been better since we started going to a debugger.

Just make sure you use a wrapper to catch your StackOverFlowException so that you don’t end up with a child.node

\er
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my badcompiler!

\aj
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\jm,

You should think of implementing swing, might spice things up...

\eg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\jm

unless you have kick.leftNode && kick.rightNode, then you will not have any child.node

\aj
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\aj

But swing requires some 3rd party libraries.

\jm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem with third party libraries is you don’t know what sorts of bugs you will get. Not unless they have been thoroughly tested.

\er
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\er,

That wrapper you mentioned should help!

\eg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You all need to get your heads out of the queue

\aj
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\er,

You said it. No matter how hot her attributes are she might have picked up some nasty private methods from some other developer.

\jm

\aj,

I think that our combined Java-humor is JUnitTesting eg/bi/er's patience.
