Paper Airplanes

I don’t think there’s anyone in this world who hasn’t played around with building paper airplanes at some point in their life. It’s one of those irreplaceable, unforgettable childhood joys.

A few guys at work have been going at it this past week, coming up with new models and ideas every day.

That inspired me to do a little search online for some paper airplane models and techniques, and here are some of the links I came across:

– Paper Airplane Designs
– Best paper airplane in the world (or so he says)
– Best paper airplanes
– Amazing paper airplanes
– Joseph palmer’s paper airplanes

I think I’ll be trying a few of them out myself…

Enjoy…

The Church Of Google

And so The Church of Google has come to be, grouping members who believe Google is the closest thing to an actual God.
The Google Trinity consists of the Internet, Google Search Engine and the Web Browser (Such as Firefox, Opera & Safari but NEVER Internet Explorer)

The church’s site even has a page where they state the proofs that Google is God.
Not to forget the 10 Commandments of Google.

Google being God, the church’s FAQ page says it’s only obvious that Microsoft is Satan.

There’s even a Google afterlife, as by uploading our thoughts and opinions onto the internet, we live on in Google’s cache even after our death.

Common Sounds In A Programming Environment

This is a list of the most common sounds you’ll hear from a bunch of developers in a programming environment with a little explanation of each sound.

– “Aaaaaah!”: Someone finally found the dumb reason why something was acting weird.

– “Hmmmm”: A new thing to solve, a new programming challenge. Good.

– “Grrrrrrr!”: A new bug has just been reported by Mr. Stick-up-his-ass QA guy.

– “Huh??!” or “What the …!!!”: Something weird/unexpected just happened. No need to be alarmed yet.

– “Bang!” (on keyboard or desk) or sudden swearing: PC crashed before the developer got to save his work, or something of that caliber.

– “Zzzzzzz”: Someone just fell asleep on his keyboard.

– “Oops!”: Nothing big, a minor manipulation error, something small deleted or the like.

– “Oh Shit!”: Quite a big error, but something that will eventually pass, most of the times.

– Sudden silence (coupled with a slightly detectable shaking of the hands and small streams of cold sweat): Really big screwup, time to panic and start looking for a job.

– Machine gun sound: Run! One of the developers’ stress level most probably maxed out, and he’s on a de-stress killing spree.

These are the sounds that came to mind while writing this, I’m sure there are others I forgot to mention, if you remember any other ones, you’re welcome to add them in the comments section.

Boss Bitching: For Your Worst Boss Stories

BossBitchingBoss Bitching is a simple, cool, user driven website that allows anonymous postings of stories about bosses. Posts can be made about a current boss or someone from a previous job.

Complainers can categorize their bosses by archetype and visitors to the site get to read and rate the bosses, choosing between three responses.
Users can receive updates of the most popular posts through RSS.

Boss Bitching was conceived by someone who identifies himself as Unknown Tech Guy. It seems BossBitching is the first of a series of services that will be launched under the UberBitching brand.

It’s quite a simple idea that should help some people relieve themselves of the desire to ramble about their bosses.
I’m not that kind of person really, but it could be fun to read some posts every now and then, when I’m in that kind of mood, which isn’t very often, but well…

The Real World Cup Rules

Please forward this to your girlfriends, wifes, etc. 😉

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor….it wont happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.
