Wisdom of Ages
If a high forehead is a sign of intelligence, I’m getting smarter every year. I have a fancy French haircut – it’s in full retreat. If my bald spot gets any bigger, people will confuse me with Friar Tuck.
Not only this, but the last time I was home, my dad (who has every hair he was born with) asked if I’d thought about using Rogaine!

Communication Breakdown
07.05.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsA coworker called a branch in Oregon the other day. We’d had a report from Monitoring that their server was down.
So we called, and this being a holiday week, not many people were around, and we ended up speaking to the receptionist.
We explained that we wanted her to find their server and see if it was on, or if there was an error message on the screen. She politely asked if we could wait until the next day, as they weren’t having any issues, and she was having trouble understanding what we wanted.
“It’s like you guys are speaking another language,” she said.
And into my head popped: “¿Hablo SQL?”

The Wisdom Of Dilbert
Scott Adams answers some reader questions on his blog. I found this most interesting:
Q. How do you ensure that the material you publish stays fresh and funny enough to be continually published?
A. I write what interests and amuses me and hope for the best.
Good advice for any writer. Obviously I am not constrained by the necessity to make a living from what I write, but I suspect that very few writers make money with stuff they aren’t engaged with.
