Had an interesting day at work, today. My current task involves using a web interface to rebuild pages for a test environment. This is extremely boring and repetitious work, and it will take a long time to complete. When my supervisor gave me the task, he told me to take my time.<\/p>\n

Okay. I will. I’ll spend time to see if it’s feasible to write an agent to replace me. If not, then I’ve learned something in the process. Yay me.<\/p>\n

What’s great is I actually wrote the following Java code, today:<\/p>\n


\npublic class Intern extends Robot {
\n...
\n}<\/p>\n

Intern steve = new Intern();
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

In English: Interns are<\/em> Robots, and my job is going to be done by one called, steve<\/em>. C’mon, that’s funny! \":mrgreen:\"<\/p>\n

Oh yes, I finally got Lotus Notes working (a tech support guy came to my cubicle and set everything up for me), and I must say, I prefer life without Notes. That is an absolutely atrocious piece of software. It’s like running a second OS with an interface that was written by people who simply had no right. Just to give you an idea of its ugliness, URLs in the Mailer actually flash<\/em>! On the ugly scale of ten, it scores at least an eleven.<\/p>\n

However, now that I got Notes set up, I was able to check my email and discover the details of my proxy account! Internet, here I come! Did I mention I had administration issues? ^^<\/p>\n

Gnome 2.12<\/a> is out. I probably won’t upgrade until after I’ve got my laptop back from getting fixed… which will take a month. *sigh* But, I did download the ClearLooks theme. I had a good custom theme before… I did. But ClearLooks<\/a> is very very nice. go get it.<\/p>\n

Wow. That was a geeky entry. I’ll make up for it with pictures from the fishing trip, soon… maybe.<\/p>\n

woops! more geek<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
