SH**T+RELOAD!
Another day, another IM exchange at work inspires a t-shirt design.

Update: this design has been discontinued
Jonathan: oh damn... Jonathan: I maybe have some cached template Jonathan: shift-refresh!!! Justin: :) Jonathan: can't believe I fell for that Jonathan: sorry Justin: i read shit-refresh Justin: np Jonathan: another t-shirt Jonathan: sh**t-refresh!
Explanation here.
you should be cool doing nothing
I was the one who said it (IMed it actually), but I can’t take credit for thinking to immortalize it on a sticker. That was all Jonathan.
Actually I think he wanted a t-shirt.

It’s the perfect ironic response to every tech support question. Of course in Jonathan’s case, I was being completely serious.
Update: discontinued in favor of “If God was pro-life…“
Parody is not a Crime
Inspired by the EFF bumper sticker “Coding is not a Crime” on the back window of Matt’s truck (and by recent events), I decided to make a button.
The Parody is not a Crime button

Only 3 bucks, for a limited time only, while supplies last, our operators are waiting to take your call.
The grossest thing about poison-oak…
…are the weeping blisters. I went out last night wearing a pair of loose-fitting pants. This is how they looked this morning.

Hell yeah, my body did that! And if I’d been wearing white pants, you’d see that the weeping fluid is actually a deep yellow.
Now I won’t gross everyone out with a picture of my festering, weeping welts, but for the curious at heart, I’ll offer you this link to a picture of my legs, one week after exposure. Click at your own risk!
I’m off to the grocery store to pick up some calamine lotion. Nothing I like more than going out in public sporting open sores up and down my legs. I need to make a tshirt right now that says “I’m not contagious.”
Done.
Note: this t-shirt design has been discontinued.

Update: No more poison-oak!
You don’t go to war with the CMS you want,
you go to war with the CMS you have.

Update: this tshirt design has been discontinued.
I’ve had this idea for a while now since I spend a good deal of time at work rasslin’ with our CMS. For some reason the image of Donald Rumsfeld keeps popping into my head saying the above in response to my whining. That’s how they getcha.
RIAA is a 4 Letter Word
For some reason I’ve been feeling very protesty lately. So I’ve retired my Support Activist Judges sticker in favor of RIAA is a 4 Letter Word.

Update: this sticker has been retired.
programmers against screen scraping
it’s a humorous reference to the several hours i spent last night debugging ravingmadness’s haloscan screen scraping code (to which i have previously referred people in my moving from blogger to wordpress post) in order to help an individual import her haloscan comments into wordpress. except it turns out ravingmadness’s code is somewhat out of sync with the current haloscan template in some minor ways. so it took a while.
however, it appears that haloscan has fixed their caif comment export feature so that it no longer strips any html elements from the comment body, which it used to. i’m thinking it might be time to revisit the code i started writing to read the caif file directly. would be nice to get import-haloscan.php included with the standard wordpress distribution.
