for our new tool for doing AAP. there will be a bit of hassle in getting things set up for the transition, i don't think we explicitly considered the time investment it would take the team to transition the data management blah blah blah. by "we" i mean management, by "the team" i mean "gzt".

my head is leaking.

By gzt (Fri Oct 07, 2011 at 10:53:15 AM EST) gzt, step one, test, sick, head pain, leaking (all tags)

I have a cold that is rapidly escalating. I have a bad headache. My head is leaking. At least I'm not leaking from the eyes at the moment, but I was last night.

Even after reading the lists of demands floating around...

...I'm still not quite sure what the Occupy Wall Street people are hoping to accomplish. All I know is that they're sans culottes. Still, I support the idea that something isn't going right, something should be done, and nothing has been done. Stiglitz is right that Wall Street has found a way to "socialize losses and privatize" gain, and that's just wrong.

The Blame for Bliss

By CheeseburgerBrown (Mon Jun 19, 2006 at 11:09:57 AM EST) test (all tags)

The more life happens to me, the more convinced I become that happiness takes hard work.

And some miserable bastards just aren't up to the job.

Warning: chronically miserable people may find this post saddening.

On Enemies, Part IX

By CheeseburgerBrown (Thu Jan 19, 2006 at 06:55:21 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the last in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

In this final installment we see the lessons of the previous adventures applied to set right the scales of justice in a method both succinct and satisfying.

Please see also Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII and Part VIII.

On Enemies, Part VII

By CheeseburgerBrown (Fri Jan 13, 2006 at 05:41:47 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the seventh in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

In this installment we see how tracking an opponent's efforts can improve one's performance in sport, and how an unsporting response may ultimately raise the stakes higher than some would care to contend with.

Please see also Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V and Part VI.

On Enemies, Part VI

By CheeseburgerBrown (Thu Jan 12, 2006 at 06:43:30 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the sixth in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

Today we discover how, in the absence of actual enmity, creativity fills the void and that it is hard to stop boys from being boys.

On Enemies, Part III

By CheeseburgerBrown (Fri Jan 06, 2006 at 07:11:51 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the third in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

In this installment we learn the true answer to one bully's rhetorical demands, and get our first taste of the baffling inaction of onlookers.

On Enemies, Part II

By CheeseburgerBrown (Thu Jan 05, 2006 at 02:44:04 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the second in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

In this installment we attempt to play heroes to counterpoint our villain, only to find that the nefarious forces of schoolyard evil cannot be so easily brought to justice.

Please see also Part I.

On Enemies, Part I

By CheeseburgerBrown (Wed Jan 04, 2006 at 03:35:22 AM EST) test (all tags)

This is the first in a multi-part series on the subject of the various great and memorable enemies I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years, from the earnest gibbering of schoolyard bullies to the courtly dance of the merely ritualistic antagonist.

I have often found that identifying someone as an opponent can crystallize one's position in a muddy situation, or even inspire one to achievement in order to thwart their evil. The notion of the personified nemesis speaks to a deep part of the human tribal psyche. It is the basis of our stories, the stuff of nightmares, the archetype at the foundation of our understanding of conflict, righteousness and victory.

Our series begins when I am just four years old.

Merry Chr&c.

By CheeseburgerBrown (Thu Dec 22, 2005 at 12:26:53 PM EST) test (all tags)

We had our Christmas with my father's side of the family last night. It is an efficient Christmas, this occasion -- a brief and light-footed Christmas: a Christmas squeezed within an inch of its life by compression, squishy JPEG-like artifacts shimmering in the corners.

Alas, Snoopy did not dance.
