Sicks Windows

I was sick most of last week. I still worked, just less.

I managed to make it into the office Friday just in time to be relocated. Yes, my desk has been moved near the window. Unlike Russ, who wants to be near the window, it annoys me. Almost as much as the flourescent lights (which I plan to disable.) See, the light from the window comes in, it shrinks your pupils, you look at the screen, your eyes strain. Pain. And the glare, sheesh! I’ve already constructed a small roof for my cube and will put it into place tomorrow.

Yes, if possible, I’d work in a dark room, isn’t that how hackers are supposed to work, in dimly lit rooms, pecking away at keyboards?

Miss Shack

Yesterday I was at Radio Shack and there was a female working at the counter. I asked if she was the first woman to work at Radio Shack. She said that at that location, yes, she was, though there is a woman who works at the Watertown store, and there are some managers that are women.

Wow, we live in crazy times…

FogBUGZ alternative?

FogBUGZ looks like a nice product, but honestly, I don’t run any Windows servers, and I don’t plan on doing so in the future. I’m wondering if there is something like FogBUGZ that runs on *nix and uses some sort of Perl/PHP/MySQL combination. Bugzilla won’t work, it’s a lot of work to install, and maintain, and if you aren’t root, well, I don’t think anyone other than root can install Bugzilla. I do like Bugzilla, but it’s not right for what I want do to in this case.

So basically something that handles features, bugs and inquiries, can use a web interface or collect issues via email, a nice, simple assigment/workflow, and is easy. Not too much to ask for is it?

Wrongstory

Says Noah Grey of Greymatter fame:

As for the old school, I tend to think that we’re still there. Blogger started it all, of course…

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong…

I know, I know, I should really give up on this subject, but somehow I can’t see history being dealt such a disservice…

There’s other gems as well:

Greymatter is one of the most well-known opensource programs in the world…

Really!?

I currently have a script on my site which disables right-clicking, so that my photos cannot be too easily saved to disk… And with the people that have criticised me for using this method, their argument is never that there are better ways to protect my work (and if there were, I’d be glad to hear of them)

A technical solution that doesn’t work doesn’t seem to be a good answer to the problem. Legal problems require legal solutions, not technical ones.
