Info about the “ALL MY PERSONAL EMAILS ARE ON MY TIMELINE” posts that are currently doing the rounds on Facebook… Seems it’s just another hoax/panic. (This time.) UPDATE: It now seems that while many people aren’t affected by this issue, enough evidence is coming through now to say that it’s a real issue. See this [...]

I keep getting pitches for "Agile" this and "Agile" that. It's baloney. When the only tool you allowed is a hammer, and that hammer is pitched as the golden solution to all your problems, you are in serious trouble when it comes to installing screws or putting on nuts, nevermind polishing your work. When the only workflow a company will allow it's people to use is "agile" development, even in non-development arenas, you are just a slave to a management guru who sold you a bill of goods and your company will sink.

A must watch…

Hello Readers…

This blog has been about Microsoft and its market share.

Specifically, on June 2009 I bet my friend Nick that Microsoft would lack a majority market share come June 2011. We discussed the three products that HAD the majority market share as of the summer of 2009:

1. Microsoft Internet Explorer for browsers
2. Microsoft Office for office suites
3. Microsoft Windows for operating systems

Due to personal reasons, we did not conclude this project properly.

It was too time intensive to research the true market share of Microsoft products. It is without question that Microsoft no longer holds the majority market share on browsers, now with about 30% of the market share. The office suite question is still under debate due to Google Apps. Also under consideration is if tablets replace the desktop.

In summary, the question all along should have been “What will we count?” as office suites and operating system platforms instead of “What will we use?”

Without question, Microsoft is struggling to stay relevant as revenues plummet. Indeed, upon 2011 year close Microsoft is a different company. It is sad. I do not want Microsoft to fold. Competition is good even for the Apple and Linux-based products I prefer using.

After-all, I am a MSFT stock-holder.

Ramadan is here again. Actually we are about 13 days in…so almost half way done.

And you’re wondering what could I possibly doing that is new, right?
More pictures of dates and fried stuff?
An artistic shot of a glass of water?

Well I intend to host my very first Iftar.

I’m going to give people food to break fast.

Now my mom is not very happy about this.
She may not like the menu either.

But I had a plan…for how I could cook everything…bake bake bake…I really need a second oven…

However I was saved. I am outsourcing the meat and one side.

I am making one side and salad (well I informed my sister in law that she is making the salad).

I’m excited and petrified at the same time.

Wsh me luck!

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love

I don’t care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday – heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday – watch the walls instead
It’s Friday, I’m in love

• Taking my cats to the vet just now was my $500 nam. Seriously, the wisdom tooth extraction Monday was way cheaper and slightly more pleasant #
• To be clear, the vets were great. It was the screaming murderous cats which were the problem. #

• Wondering how many apps I have installed on my phone came bundled with wee web browsers. Guessing 50%. Seems massively wasteful. #
• @micahjgates It's mostly wasteful in that it wastes my time making me re-login to various places every time I leave a comment or whatever in reply to micahjgates #
• @darkuncle Instapaper, facebook, tumblr, and others all have their own tiny non-safari browsers. in reply to darkuncle #

• @darkuncle @marco Maybe it's based on safari, I don't know. Since it doesn't use safari's cookies it makes no difference to me. in reply to darkuncle #
• Watching some awful little songbirds attack a sickly crow :( #
• A second crow came to the defense of the first. I hope they eat all the songbird's babies. #
• Good samaritans are my kryptonite. If someone dropped something, LEAVE IT ALONE kthxbai. #
• @darkuncle Who cares how it's implemented then? A separate cookie jar means it's less useful than if it just used safari. in reply to darkuncle #

• @zombieite Why would anyone say either of those things when we already have words like 'descend'? in reply to zombieite #
• @kneedull If that's your arm the bruise is probably from a doorknob. I get them all the time! (perils of living without depth perception) in reply to kneedull #
• @zombieite You can also descend on an escalator. And, you resolve conflicts. in reply to zombieite #
• @kneedull After getting those mysteriously for years, one day I finally noticed when I hit one with a doorknob and it was the exact height. in reply to kneedull #
• @kneedull The depth perception thing must have conditioned me to be so used to bumping into things I don't even notice unless it hurts. in reply to kneedull #
• "We notice that you registered with SETI@home on 02 June 2003, and that we haven't yet credited you with any completed BOINC work." #
• @kneedull They both work, just not together! http://bit.ly/lGjYfm in reply to kneedull #
• @kneedull I had two surgeries to fix it when I was little, but they occurred too late to give me depth perception. in reply to kneedull #
• @kneedull I have never been able to play sports involving catching or swinging bats/rackets. I compensated by learning to dodge real good. in reply to kneedull #
