Just as a question, what do you think of workflows? I kind of view them as a way to trick people who don't want to program into programming. "I don't want to learn C." "Okay, here, do the exact same thing, except do it with boxes and arrows you can draw with your mouse."

fade · Jan 24, 2012

Yes that's the same experience I've had with them. Workflow based interfaces are really common in the oil industry, predating graphical workflow interfaces. It seemed that by the time you learned the weird ins and outs of creating a workflow--especially using a card deck or a workflow syntax, you could learn an API call in a generic language. Maybe I'm biased as a programmer, though.

I know some of these jokes are awful, but there were moments I was laughing out loud.

66 degrees and marble-sized hail. Hell yeah, Texas winters. Yee Haw!

fade · Jan 24, 2012

No hail here, but warm. Supposed to get some bad stuff here tomorrow. I've come to realize that the Rod Ryan show isn't exactly the most accurate source of weather info though. I think he wings it half the time.

GasBandit · Jan 24, 2012

Half the times our DJs just make shit up. Could be because half the time, they're prerecorded from last night.

So the restaurant that my older sister is part of the management team at has their menu online. Now, I wish my sister much success, and I know she didn't come up with it, but holy fuck, it is nothing but pretentious foodie bullshit (Thanks, Ted Allen!).

It's New York, I think one of their health department rules to have menus filled with pretentious bullshit. We probably sell the same fries at our football games for $1.50, spice dusted and all.

Get fucked.

Roasted Marrow Bones with Trout Roe, Trotter and Cress 16

The fucking hell? Call me uncultured, but the day I pay 16 dollars for the pleasure of sucking some marrow out of bones is the day I fuck my girlfriend's cat. Wow, like that Onion video with Ted Allen just reading some of those menu items makes me irrationally angry.

I'm getting Kitchen Nightmares flash backs.

We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

28-Day Dry-Aged Strip Loin - steak that's been in a cooler for a month and had the mold scraped off. $88 if you get it for two.

I prefer fresh Cornish Ram's bladder, emptied, steamed, seasoned with sesame seeds, whipped into a fondue, and garnished with lark's vomit myself.

Mostly because the garbage parts are delicious as fuck.

I've had some dry-aged beef before and it has such a great flavor, not $88 worth of flavor, but still.

With the proper genetic engineering, you can grow chicken flesh on a tree.

When I wear polarized sunglasses, looking up at the "darker" spot in a clear blue sky always makes me very uneasy.

I had this dream once that the sun started blinking off. Only for like 1/100th of a second, but often enough to make me think the world was ending.

our isp's office in tyler (dallas) apparently just went boom... had to switch the routers dns from google to opendns (which is in dallas)... because we are now in this hilarious position of our internet access being limited to within the state of texas. halforums is not in texas. lol.

Some things you just don't want to know.

I know he's just referring to deleting bits of a document that aren't needed, but it still unnerves me to hear the co-worker next to me muttering "Kill, kill, kill..." under his breath.

Apparently I'm a hipster because I'd rather listen to Led Zeppelin than a conversation about Team Edward vs Team Jacob.

Friend of mine is currently going through some gender identity issues. We are fairly close, but physical distance (otherside of the effing country) kinda puts a damper on our friendship. She asked me a hypothetical question about her identifiying more with a male. I gave her an honest answer. Later on when I checked her blog (which hardly anybody she knows in real life has, It's mainly a forum for her to deal with her gender and sexuality issues) has a post quoting what I said in our conversation. Along with the tag (my best friend on my gender crisis). I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Just thought I would share

4 year old daughter fell off bike and got a scrape a couple of days ago. Last night, she had a dream that it got infected, which apparently means there were tiny brains crawling around on it.
