I’m becoming that guy

So…I’m posting cat humor now. In my defense, it seems kind of funny to me.

Louis vs. Rick. The ostensible results of a Rick teaching his cat how to IM. Presented in reverse chronological order.

For your reading pleasure, here’s the same content only in chronological order:

999 ways to beat the poor

Got to love this graphic: Atlantic’s Last 9-9-9 Graph

Going my way?

CB to Memphis in less than half a day!

…barely…

Brailletazing

I just did this. Now I know what my Facebook profile will look like in little under a week. You can do it too, Puncherella in the zoo.

Of course, you can’t see mine until I get to see yours. I’m just that kind of a guy.

I don’t know why this is so awesome, but for some reason I really love the Fake Name Generator. This one gives you all kinds of fun stuff to gen-up a whole identity.

More cmd.exe help

So you’re in cmd.exe and you type ‘ls‘ expecting to get a directory listing. Instead cmd.exe gives you the finger. You give cmd.exe the finger back. Just then your boss walks by and sees you flipping off company property. Next thing you’re in her office having a discussion on appropriate workplace behavior. Having had enough of ‘The Man’ you flip off your boss.

Now you’re sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus that will take about 90 minutes to get you home. Just about 7 minutes faster than if you walked. But it’s cold outside. No job, no car, no prospects. Life sucks. And then you learn that you could have been using DOSKEY to set up persistent aliases in cmd.exe.

Just one simple DOSKEY ls=dir later and it doesn’t matter which platform you’re on. Assuming you already set aliases in .bashrc for all of your bad cmd.exe habits that is.

Chin up, young squire! Now when you’re fired from your next job, at least it won’t be on cmd.exe’s account. You can thank me later.

Let the gnashing begin

The uproar over changes to Facebook—the ones where Facebook automagically filters your content for you, unbidden—this is nothing as compared to what will happen if Mashable is to be believed.

For no real reason

Awesome is the pregnant Possum.

StackOverflow answers WIX questions too

You want a dynamic path to your post-install call to an executable. You can do this based on the info I found here.

I loves me some StackOverflow.

Batch file fun

Because I can never remember how to sensibly check for arguments in a batch file: validating bat arguments
