A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

So I went digging around and finally got myself plugged in to the south park episodes online.  I watched, over the last few hours, the better part of season 12 and I’ve gotta say…

South Park sucks now.  I mean really.  It’s really bad.

I used to love it so I went back to some of the early seasons just to be sure I hadn’t become a total stick in the mud.  I was relieved to find that yep, it’s the show, ain’t me.

It’s sorta sad, but I think Matt & Trey should hang it up.  It’s pretty pathetic.

I’ve got to tackle the clashing of my two WordPressPlugin scripts.  On one hand, there’s the simple regular expression issue of mixing render-time processing transforms that create href tags out of plain text (nesting them is really icky.)

But what I had NOT anticipated is the fact that php or WordPress (I’m not sure which) imports the plug-ins into the same namespace, so I’ve either got to give everything retarded prefixes, ‘class’ify the code for namespace partitioning, or use a common library (taking the plugins away from OneFilePerScript land, which I don’t like at all.)

Merging the two plugins is not an option, even though it’s the simplest technical solution available.  The difference between the two at this point is really about three lines of code.

I suppose that simple fact dictates the solution.

Ickypoo.

So I’ve been a fan of XKCD for an awful long time.  I’ve sat and clicked on ‘random’ for half an hour, I’ve traced the whole thing from the beginning, etc.

I just noticed there are alt texts on everything.

I’ve gotta go back and start

all

over

again

I just made a double-batch of this eggnog recipe that I posted last year but never got off my kiester in time to make.  So it oughta be ready for Christmas.

Unfortunately the 4 jars it fills take up most of my fridge.  I’m going to have to stare at these bourbonlicious glass jars for a month plus.

On the plus side I’ve gotten pretty good at separating eggs.

hmm…waitaminute… it’s all plus side.

*shrug*

*hic*

UPDATE:  See, it’s just fun being me.  I’m sitting here and the present but dying smell of sugar and bourbon hit my nose and I thought to myself I thought “is it ready yet?”  But no.  Christmas Eve.

Watch out Obama supporters, here it comes…

‘Millions of jobs’ in danger next year

“If we don’t act swiftly and boldly, most experts now believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year,” Obama said in prepared remarks for the weekly Democratic radio and video address.

damn far cry from

Obama Promises Plan to Create 2.5 Million Jobs in Two Years
President-elect Barack Obama said today that he has directed his economic team to come up with a two year plan to “jump start job creation in America” with the goal of adding 2.5 million more jobs by January, 2011.

Want another example?

• Go look up his reversal on the “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy.
• How about the fact that he’s filling his cabinet with Clinton era insiders and largely moderate liberals (rather than the team of ‘gut the USA’ wingnuts the far left was hoping for)?
• Or the delay to the famed tax increase (tax increase is the NYT’s uncharacteristically honest term) he’s already buffering you for.

Tsk tsk tsk. “Change” coming from a politician…

Some people will believe anything.
