Playaa

You guys better get to work.

Weighed myself this morning. 236.8

I'm already nearly 14 pounds lighter and I'm barely trying.

Keep up pansies!

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a

short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking

location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it

was

with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following

exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747,

call

sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: ' Frankfurt , Speedbird 206 clear of active runway.'

Ground: 'Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.'

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: 'Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?'

Speedbird 206: 'Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location

now.'!

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): 'Speedbird 206, have you not

been

to Frankfurt before?'

Speedbird 206 (coolly): 'Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I

didn't land.'

Always been one of my favorites.

I nearly failed the CAPTCHA.

242.

Sorry I didn't weigh in right away.

Some of my favorites from overheardeverywhere.com (as opposed to just New York):

Young pregnant mother, gratefully accepting seat on crowded tram: Come over here and sit with mummy, Adam.

Four-year-old: Noooooooooo.

Mother: C'mon, Adam, come sit with mummy.

Four-year-old: Noooooooo (but slinks over and sits down anyway)

Mother: Better?

Four-year-old: You've ruined my life, mom.

Mother: Yes, honey, I know.

Preschooler in stroller, singing, to 20-something girl walking by: Cha, cha, cha...you're charming!

20-something, on cell: I think I just got hit on by a four-year-old! No, it was actually better than most of the lines I've heard.

Man at airport: I'm gonna go hug that kid. Maybe then his mom will start keeping an eye on him.

End of Times Is NEARZ!!!

Just had to share it with everyone:

I'm not sure I even want to get into the frameworks to be honest.

I work with a Java/Javascript developer and one of the first things he told me was that most of the frameworks are bloated crap and I should learn to do it on my own.

Yeah, I can google for "learn javascript" too Preach.

I just wanted people who had experience to give me some sites/resources that they trust and know are worth using.

By the way Preacher...there is a perfect website for you. It's called "letmegooglethatforyou.com"

So I've recently (within the last few months) been forced to start learning some Javascript. It's tough to debug and annoying to program sometimes...but I love the things I can do with it and the powerful sites it can help build.

Anyone got any links, tutorials or resources to share with me?

I know very little about Linux or c/c++ (though I do know C#)

Would they be willing to 1) Teach and 2) Let me telecommute?

you never really realize how much 2+ mouse buttons increases productivity until they forcibly take one away from you

Does not compute!

Invalid arguments.

2 fingers on a single mouse button to do alternate tasks is a better system than having 2 separate mouse buttons.

Lunk. Go get Quicksilver. I don't care if you aren't a poweruser, Quicksilver is the best application for any operating system I have ever used. Even if you never use it for anything more than launching applications, it's a snap.

This might be it:

DUDE WHAT THE HECK!!!!?

Uuuuummm..........someone got an explanation for this one?

I can't find any info on the news.

Checking!

You people think you've been here long? I have been posting on the forums nearly 4 times as long as I actually played in the servers.

To really get the disk out if it's stuck, boot up holding down the Alt (Option) key. When you see the disks (HD and DVD) you should be able to hit the eject key to get it out.

I honestly don't know where my weight is going as I haven't even started working out...and I'm back on soda.....

Maybe I have a tapeworm.

I picked this up thinking it wouldn't be that great but it's only free until Friday (then it'll cost $2) so I might as well try it out.

It's actually really impressive.

I have sj in my contact list as "Stuttering John" with the nickname being his real name. If I say "Call Stuttering John" it finds him, if I say "Call Real Name" it also finds him.

If you have someone with multiple numbers you just specify.

For example:

"Call Mom Home" calls her home number.

Definitely pick this up while it's free.

I need a new job.

That makes the second job in 4 years (one for 3 years, this one for 9 months) where they ran out of money and let me go.

What a horrible time to lose a job too.

I think my 29 year old sister is obsessed with it...which makes me never want to see it.

Also...why isn't it pedophilia for a 200 year old vampire to fall in love with a teenager just because he looks like a teenager?

Awkward times.

Forgot to update. At 246.

XSlimmer

It clears unused languages and code out of Applications. I only turned on the "Languages" option (meaning I didn't remove PowerPC code from anything) and saved nearly 2gig of space and some apps actually do open faster.

Well worth checking out in my opinion. Only $12 for a license.

Real Soccer 09

One of the best games I've played on the iphone. The only thing it's missing (apart from properly spelled names) is a "Dynasty" mode where you can buy and sell players.

Remote

Best app out there.

I recently reloaded my iphone...and have discovered that these are the only two apps I found myself needing to have.

I claim cheats.

Being sick always makes me lose weight.

I once lost 12 pounds over the course of a few days.

I say go for it. And so far I'm pretty big when it comes to the rest of the people in this contest and we all know "might makes right" so JOIN UP!
