Programmers are fat

Yes, we are all geek's, at least most of you reading this. And I'm here to tell you, most programmers are big. Too big. I'm one of them. If you are a hard core programmer who has been doing it for any length of time, it's conceivable you are way too big for your own good, am I right? Here's the deal. In an effort to please our clients/employers, we sacrifice our own lives all in the name of technology. We sacrifice our health all in the name of meeting a deadline.

Crappy digital pictures

I'm either a moron (a word I love to use when I describe someone who has no clue), or the camera I have just simply sucks. Here's the deal.

Then I noticed this entry title on my blog page: "Temporary Post Used For Style Detection (c560c898-8ea2-xxxx-xxxx-d25b48d206ed)" What the hell? That is totally stupid. If you're going to post something to my blog and not tell me about it, the least you can do is delete it when you are done. Doh! What if I hadn't noticed it for several days, what an oaf I would look like. That's a bug. Please fix i...

Software Security Sucks

The reason software security sucks is because as a developer/architect/user, they mean different things to each one. As a developer, it's a pain to implement it. As an Architect, it's a pain to define it. As a user, I don't really give two cents unless it prevents me from doing my job.Now, I guess I should back down from post title. But it's true. Developing and designing applications with security in mind is a very daunting task. In my opinion, and of course, it's all mine, web applications seem to provide the biggest scare...
