Quote du jour

How cute:

“I can now go into the unix program on the apache server and customize the Metalib program so it works for our library. Wow! :-) It feels great.”

I bet it does feel great!  But if this quote from O’Reilly’s marketing materials is not enough to completely destroy the credibility of their Learning Courses, I’m not sure what is.

A few choice quotes from recent adventures:

  2. “60 is the new 30″ at a dinner party
  3. “40 is the new 30″ at a 40th birthday party
  4. Woman: I’m going to work in Bill’s new Web 2.0 group


    Man: Cool, with AJAX and all that neat stuff?
    Woman, obviously clueless: Um… sure. So when do we have my goodbye party?

    Man

    : You’re just changing cost centers. You don’t get a party for that. You only get a party if you leave.
