The Little Friday that Could
"We taste terrible." - The winner of the Space Show's first ever message to space competition.
Thursday is like Diet Friday... Friday Light... all the great taste without the calories. So I started preparing for my recert yesterday. Wowsers! I have lost a lot of chops. The office is quiet this morning and I'm hoping to get some fantastical study time in today. I've spent right at $100 on study material on top of the 300 bones it costs to make a single attempt at the written qual, so hopefully it's put to good use. In addition to my usual IM reachability info, I started a Jabber account because the client I ran across also allows direct RSS feeds so I can have multiple news, blogs, etc. flavored sites all clickie in one spot. I am ditching the client for this one reason and this alone: Inability to minimize to the trey or to go away and run in the background. I *hate* those little task bar buttons. These days, if you code small client software the is intended to be a background process and don't add the ability to banish it from my sight, then you won't have me as a customer. EVER. Lemmie drink some more coffee and get some study time in before I rant about how I'm getting sick again. Happy New Year and shit.
