I learnt today that Nigerian email scammers on Facebook seem to think my name is Ozymandias.

Oh also that I can confront someone and not totally ruin my relationship with them. But the other thing is more important.

This gives me an idea for a 419 troll that ends with "BEHOLD MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR"

Thanks for summarizing an entire webcomic.

What LAMP stands for.

What? No. I'm actually excellent at my job.

Before you ask, AJAX is more than Duckman's son.

...He's a Greek.

AJAX is my favorite thing to explain to clients. "It's not a programming language! It's not a program! AJAX IS NOT ANYTHING!!!"

And you thought you were safe when they finally shut the fuck up about DHTML.

Brentai · « **Reply #147 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:52:51 PM »

I did. Then I found out they started calling it LAMP.

sei · « **Reply #148 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:55:46 PM »

DHTML is client-side Javascript trickery.
LAMP is server-side PHP/MySQL fuckery.
CLAMP is shoujo-side M/M buggery.

Well I meant more in the sense of they're both codewords for "do you know how to fucking program?"

sei · « **Reply #150 on:** October 28, 2008, 09:04:15 PM »

Oh. I always took them as the manager/client trying to show off by using buzzwords that were irrelevant to the[ir] application.

I love LAMP.

Brentai · « **Reply #152 on:** October 28, 2008, 09:33:30 PM »

Do you really love LAMP? Or are you just saying it because you saw it?

How is it that, of all people, the guy who owns my comic shop has never heard of Dr. Horrible?

Today I learned that my Federal Criminal Practice professor has a Wikipedia entry.

That kind of added context to some of the things he's said.

Speaking of comics, on Wednesday I learned that my bags and boards are finally almost back to parity (I have two more bags than boards).

Before I did my big sorting project a few months back there were a lot of books that were bagged but not boarded, and it also turned out there were a few partially-used sets that had gotten misplaced that I found.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #156 on:** October 31, 2008, 08:13:56 PM »

I really need to catch up on my bagging & boarding. I have probably somewhere around a hundred of them just lying around the house.

You know the old Batman theme that goes "BATMAAAAN"?

It doesn't. That's a really, really clever brass section.

The Nerd clique in Bully can be metafictional in more than one way.

Hee hee. "Super Thad."

Hey, he even has glasses to take off.
