That feeling when you've written 850 lines of code and haven't tested any of it.

While doing my ablutions this morning, I was thinking if I had to pick a Shakespeare's play to describe my hair, it'd be the Taming of the Shrew.

Probably still better than "the taming of the few." A lot of us a probably headed there, no pun intended. ;)

My wife wanted a head rub this morning so I put the watch I was wearing with a bracelet on my right arm. Turns out my right wrist is larger than my left. Strange. I'm left handed too.

I can say with certainty that I've never seen a completed wrist roll on Instagram. Plan to keep it that way.

Back up often. Not random, really -- one of my drives is crashing on me. Happily I do have a pretty recent backup. One of my college math professors, when a student pleaded that she had lost her homework due to a crashed disk, suggested that Back Up Often should be the fundamental theorem of computer science. I still think that makes a pretty good math joke on CS ppl.

That'd make a great Halloween post!

(If I got what you meant....)

That's been on my mind.... I am going to start backing up stuff on Box (or something similar). Thanks!!

Any thoughts on sports gambling?

I've never participated, past a few dollars at work. But I feel as if these sites are targeting younger people on emotions and they're going up against... well professionals.

At least the lottery is fair even if your odds are abysmal.


Anyhow, everything is bigger in Texas.

Why are Frederique Constant's women's watches nicer than the men's?

Re FC, I suspect that one factor is that women's taste in watches is (perhaps) completely different than men's. I will now assume you are a man. ;-) I offer that these are discounted specifically because their designs appeal to you yet were marketed to women. If you spend much of your time looking at discounted watches in search of deals -- as I do -- you will find yourself in the midst of these misfits. QED
