Milestone

I got engaged today, or rather i proposed to my 7 year sweetheart. She said yes of course. I liked it so much, i put a ring on it.

The Big Four

I saw the Big Four at the theatre the other night (June 22nd 2010) and it was amazing. The big four includes the following who played in this order: Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica. I was really there to go see Megadeth and Slayer, but Anthrax was pretty awesome. I thought Metallica sucked and they pretty much have too much popularity for very little talent. I don't really consider Metallica metal now, as they play very soft music too often now.

Unprofessionalism

So this week Tuesda (06/01/10) a co-worker became an ex-co-worker and now a much hated person. This fuckass took our training courses last week, all week, then fled early on Friday to avoid us. He didn't even fill out the evaluation for the course which was much needed by the professor. This asshole didn't show up this Tuesday, we called and we didn't recieve a reply. Wednesday he didn't show up, we got a call back from his wife who apparently is more of a man than he is, she told us that he is having "issues", so Today my manager gets a half assed email from his indicating that he just can't handle the heat. Fucking pussy bitch, at least put in your 2 weeks!

That is the lowest thing I have ever seen someone do in a work environment is not put in their two weeks. I could care less if someone quits, but not putting in your 2 weeks is total shit. He was a worthless, whiney, old, developer. He was no more a programmer than I am a mechanical engineer. That mother fucker couldn't DEBUG code and had the audacity to use WYSWYG tools as if it was a viable option for the work we were doing. Then he had the nerve to make it seem as if we were the ones who were lame, like we didn't have our shit together. He acted as if he was better than all of us just because a segment of our system is not written well.

I would release his name, but it is too easy to tie it all together.

Fuck you CM. You are a worthless piece of crap and I wish I could have told you this to your face.

Fuck you pussy.

Burst Posting

If you are wondering (not that anyone actually reads my posts anyhow) the reason a lot of my posts show up on the same day sometimes is because I load my GPhone up with them, then I sit down and post all of them at the same time while utilizing spell check etc...

The key to successful innovation

I have realized that the key to successful innovation is to have one main break through and then not have a day job. I have come to realize that people who have discovered amazing things or invented something equally as amazing usually were well off or rich. They had the time and leisure to sit around and think about things all day. They had the time to ponder, experiment and build expensive prototypes. The common person doesn't normally have this kind of opportunity. If they were to try this, they would need a grant or loan to get started. This usually means giving up your day job.

The other ways to be successful in innovation is if you are developing something that deals with your daily work. Or if you are a business owner. Or just a rich bastard. If you are coming up with ideas during your work period, then you are lucky. If you are a business owner, then chances are at one point you can probably sit down and think about how to do something. If you are a rich bastard, then you have all the time in the world to do what ever. If you don't have any of those opportunities, then you are screwed.

Diabetes, air car.

New Horizons Training

I am thoroughly impressed with the courses that the company I work for graciously got for us (I didn't sign anything). It all depends on your instructor of course, the one we had, he knows his shit to the max. He is an consultant for other companies and he does amazing work. Very impressed with him. Not a single power point slide, all practical work. I am pleased to know that most of my practices in code are indeed best practices.

The Power to Threaten

What gives a person, group or entity the power to threaten you? I have been wondering this for a long time now. For example why do entities have the power to threaten your credit or impose nasty fees or bloated rates on you? Where does the government get the power to command you pay taxes or fines? Why can FIU fuck up your financial aid package then demand you give money back after a whole semester has gone by, while threatening you that if you don't pay them you will not be able to sign up for classes or graduate. FIU did that to me twice, they fucked up my financial aid, then asked me to give them 96 dollars back one semester and then 400 dollars back another semester. Fuck Florida International University, fuck it in the retarded sterile golden panther ass.

The answer I have come to realize is all due to the fact that you need them and their services, not the other way around.

I think this is not fair in some cases though. Credit cards and banks for example that they have some stupid ass policies that I think are unfair. For example if you make more than 6 online transfers per month, you get fined 10 dollars. This is a Federal Law, but still I called up my bank and said wtf? They told me I made more than 6 transfers and I told them the usual, "I didn't know, know I know, can you remove that charge?" To which the answer was no always. Not cool. So I thought, why can't I charge them an asshole charge? Why can' I send them a stupid notice that basically says, "I am charging you 10 bucks for being an asshole." Obviously the answer is, I need them, not the other way around.
