  • 11:47 managed to get Sprint tech support to believe my caller ID problem & maybe fix it, but they say it'll take days for the fix to take effect. #
  • 12:02 had to read comments to get the joke in xkcd today. Apparently I fail at general sexual relativity. xkcd.com/514/ #
  • 18:08 not looking forward to more work on the server disk. Might've been nice if it had waited another two months. #

  • 15:50 scored "Advanced" on the annoying PHP test. Good enough for me. Now if only they'd test me on Ruby. Or even Perl. #

It's not every day that one gets the opportunity to do a dramatic reading from a technical book such as Version Control with Subversion.
"... But which two trees should be compared? At first glance, the answer may seem obvious: just compare the latest trunk tree with your latest branch tree. But beware --- this assumption is wrong, and has burned many a new user! ..."

After an exhausting day of multi-website programming debugging, I just have one question.

Whose bright idea was it to regularly use FIVE totally different but mutually interacting programming languages to create any given modern web page?

1. HTML
2. CSS (Cascading Stylesheets)
3. JavaScript (aka ECMAScript)
4. PHP (or Perl)
5. SQL (Structured Query Language)

And of course each one is implemented imperfectly or inconsistently, so properly-written code doesn't actually run properly everywhere it's supposed to.
