I see you!

Your code is suboptimal!

I'm a sucker for t-shirts. Since I'm a geek with too much time on my hands, I'm part of an exclusive club. Then, because I read Eric Sink's Weblog, that makes me part of an even exclusiver club. Lastly, when I saw that Eric was offering to send some of his excellent t-shirts to people who were willing to mimic the character in a public photo plugging SourceGear's upcoming Fortress software, I couldn't resist the opportunity to sign up. 6-8 4-6 weeks later, here it is!

The t-shirt with the "Evil Mastermind" saying "YOUR CODE IS SUBOPTIMAL!" is part of an excellent marketing campaign.

Please turn to page F%

I was reading the "Tech Weekly" section of a newspaper when I noticed that the staff are still typing page numbers by hand. How else could you explain page F5 (with page F3 folded up under it), as illustrated in this scan of a printout of a picture of a wooden table?


UPDATE: My submission to the Worse Than Failure website has finally appeared.

My name

It looks like Eber Irigoyen might be on to a new meme. I must propagate it by joining them in lamenting the mis-pronunciations of my names:

• aw li vee eh
• aw liver
• dah gue naiz
• dah gue nah
• day je naiz
• day je neh

As a result, I try to go by Oli, but this has proven to be equally as elusive as many people will write down Ali or even Holly! (WTF?)

Say what?

From Picasa's Terms of Service (emphasis mine):

Errr... If I'm dead, do I care if I can't access content?

I'm afraid to ask if this rule is the result of a precedent.

How to inspire confidence in your build process

From the Ankhsvn website:

Same build as above, but works.

LOL

Update: added some labels
