I *heart* my geek.....

[LynzM]

:loveya: He is, at the moment, drinking a beer, and learning to program an LED control in assembly. Love it.

What are you appreciating lately?

Edited to put the pic in up here, too :)

1. This thread is useless without photos

:)

I appreciate my daughter Lelapin. And my network of friends, 3D and in the virtual world of DU.

:hug:

[LynzM]

8. Hrm....

Since he's on the computer to which we download pics, that might get interesting... but I'll try. :)

Yay for your daughter, and for friends of all sorts!

[LynzM]

11. Ask, and you shall receive!!

:loveya:

[qnr]

2. yeah, but is he using a hex keypad? :) n/t

[Xipe Totec]

3. Hex?! Puleeze, no crutches

gotta use a binary toggle switch board.

If you can't bootstrap your machine in binary, what good are ya?

:hide:

[qnr]

4. Good point n/t

[LynzM]

12. LOL

Nope... :rofl: 'course, I've never had to program in anything "worse" than C, so... I'm useless!

19. Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal

This is still one of my favorite satires.


The easiest way to tell a Real Programmer from the crowd is by the programming language he (or she) uses. Real Programmers use Fortran. Quiche Eaters use Pascal. Nicklaus Wirth, the designer of Pascal, gave a talk once at which he was asked, "How do you pronounce your name?". He replied, "You can either call me by name, pronouncing it 'Veert', or call me by value, 'Worth'." One can tell immediately by this comment that Nicklaus Wirth is a Quiche Eater. The only parameter passing mechanism endorsed by Real Programmers is call-by-value-return, as implemented in the IBM/370 Fortran G and H compilers. Real Programmers don't need all these abstract concepts to get their jobs done-- they are perfectly happy with a keypunch, a Fortran IV compiler, and a beer.

20. LMAO....

I totally forgot that I did have to program in Fortran once... wheeee! :bounce:

[qnr]

22. Hah! I program in many languages, but Wirth is my man! Modula-2 is

my favorite language.

5. That the high school football season

is underway in CT. I love this time of year! :bounce:


I *heart* your geek too. He's such a nice guy! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Døød, you *like* standing on the sidelines

freezing your patootie off? :shrug:

I hated football season. x(

[bigwillq]

18. It's really only cold at the end of Nov.

and for the playoffs in December.
If it's really cold, I go in the press box but other than that I am on the sidelines! :bounce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. You've probably got a different take on 'cold' than I do

I used to stay in the press box a lot, but the problem then is most high school stadia are so poorly lighted, you can't see what the line of scrimmage is if they're inside the 20.

One game, a day game (no lights), it was raining and they wouldn't let me in the press box, which was small and filled with coaches, plus the PA and scoreboard guys. I nearly caught pneumonia and could barely read my stats because the paper was wet. x(

[LynzM]

13. Oh yeah....

It's definitely awesome weather going on right now! It was hard to be at work today!!

:hi: dude!!

[bigwillq]

17. I love autumn!

It's my fave season. I can't wait for the leaves to change and I LOVE Halloween, pumpkins and all that fun stuff! :bounce:

[qnr]

6. Cool air & relaxing scooter rides n/t

[lizziegrace]

7. This is my favorite time of year

The cool air is perfect.

:)

[qnr]

9. I really enjoy this time of year (though if pressed, I'd probably

say that Winter was my favorite season. :) --- I'm enjoying the scenery, visiting out-of-the-way areas that I've missed in the past.

[LynzM]

15. Sounds excellent....

It's been perfect for being outside the last few days! Enjoy your travels! :bounce:

[qnr]

21. Thanks :) n/t

[sniffa]

14. i heart your geek too

and you just a teeny bit more. :loveya: :loveya:

fucking mwah you!

[LynzM]

16. Heya dude!

:loveya: back at ya! How's life! And, Happy belated Birtday to you!

[sniffa]

25. aww

i'm sorry we missed your birthday. we didn't know.

we're excited to come down for (xmas?) party.

Life's good. i had a pretty good birthday, despite the fact that the stress is on this week at work. i aLmost had to work more than 9.5 hours on my birthday. that ain't right.

[LynzM]

27. No worries about the b-day

It was a small, last-minute deal :) The winter party, on the other hand, will be a big-ish, planned-well-ahead type affair, to which you guys are definitely invited! :)

Glad you escaped working toooo long on your birthday. I think companies should give your birthday, or next closest work day, off!
