Re: “Thank You” Email Causes Angry Mob To Descend On AT&T Facebook Page

coalex — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:47:17 -0000

haa! So many people are pissed at AT&T and still pay them every month.
What other business/industry can have unhappy customers that pay every month?
Face it AT&T customers, they have you by the short hairs...and you can not do anything about it ...except b*tch on the internet!

Bummer...seems like Adam has reach the point in his career/retirement where he no longer can keep track of the important critical information while wading through the crap in his email boxes. I ask: What else is he missing?
Having premium accounts on both yahoo and gmail and still needing more storage. wtf?
Dude, time to simplify...Google's "technical path" of keeping your a55 in check has nothing to do with their ability to "create user-facing applications"...it has more to do with YOU, Adam, ignoring their email because you have too much clutter in your life...or at least in your email boxes.

I saw Hot Chip a couple years ago at Austin's ACL fest! They had the crowd bubbling in motion and dance even with temperatures near 100 degrees. Great theme, awesome band...Grooveshark, where can I pay?

Ara,
Such a soothing image. Especially when you consider this is your "Office". Nice work.

A stark contrast to my current and your old "office", uh?...Which as you know instead of allowing children and dogs discourages anything of the sort, infact is "secured" by armed guards and has a huge "No terrorist" sign posted at the front, side, and back gates...And even goes as far as harassing the people walking along the adjacent Mesa Trail with signs stating "stay on the trail or you'll be trespassing on federal property." ..Douche bags.

Now tell me A, do you miss it? for one micro second? ..Didn't think so?

By the way when is dojo4's first album coming out?

...but do enjoy catching up on a full week of drowahara blogs while wading through the hundreds of emails.

Waxing up for spring corn...its not over yet Y'all.

Re: drawohara - Snake on the path.

coalex — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:23:55 -0000

haa! yes, You'd probably consume a few birds and lizards too.

I actually witnessed a "stalemate" scenario a few years back while mountain biking in NOBO. A Bull Snake had tried to eat a large lizard but only got the lizard's shoulder (instead of the head) on striking it. The lizard was able to keep from being swallowed by biting and holding on to the snakes head. Bloodshed, and the two went around in circles, struggling for about ten minutes in the middle of the trail before the snake let go. The lizard scurried off lucky, the snake slithered off hungry, and I rode off thinking "F*cking A that was awesome."

Looks like a Bull Snake. (Also called Western Gopher Snake)
These snakes eat rodents, birds and the occasional lizard on the prairies and grasslands of Colorado (below 9000ft). They are common in Boulder and also help keep Rattlesnake populations in check, as they eat more and faster than those rattlers can.
This is considered a good snake to have on grain farms or in the garden.

Re: [Rails] one join to rule them all

coalex — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:23:50 -0000

Cool, that’s what I meant. so sti deals.
A couple things to ponder:
The "joins" table is a single point of failure for all the joins in the database. The "Mother of all joins" could suffer with increased size (in terms of performance),a data corruption, or table locking issues. All of our eggs are in one basket, so to speak. Special consideration might be needed here by the dba in larger systems.
and...
Maybe the class generator could also dynamically create the table indexes in the database while it works.

Thanks for posting!
Love the Axel conversations lately! I too am a punk rocker.

Re: [Rails] one join to rule them all

coalex — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:25:14 -0000

I like it! I especially liked the "mother of all joins" notion. The class generator makes this particularly easy and flexible. Clever!
One thing; it seems like the only use of the through association in this structure is to leverage the “type” attribute in the joins table. But usually for me these kinds of tables include more instance specific attributes; otherwise I use a HABTM. How could one integrate more than “type” into the joins table? Does sti take care of this?

Re: drawohara - Brazilian Professor Invents Solar Powered WiFi Access Point : EcoWorldly

Interesting.
This ted talks filmed in 2007 mentions solar wireless technology for the "one laptop for every child" project and even shows a picture of the device at 10:14. I wonder how "invented" this technology really was...

Re: McCain?

coalex — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:35:10 -0000

I know! I was going to say something yesterday.
mccain's early lead on YOUR blog threw me off, I was thinking maybe your blog-nation was playing a practical joke by running up votes for mccain...It was the only logical explanation.
Then I was thinking maybe it's an Alaskan thing? (Not to drag family under the bus or anything, just speculating).

Cool Widget by the way... Is it yours?
