I hear a couple of people saying ‘what the fish?’ as opposed to the ISO standard ‘what the fuck?’. Recently someone just said ‘what the fish’; and in his moment of frustration, I felt like laughing. Badly.

<i8b4uUnderground> d-_-b
<BonyNoMore> how u make that inverted b?
<BonyNoMore> wait
<BonyNoMore> never mind

“u there?”

“u there?”

I have been you-there-ed 4 times in a roll when in busy mode. Don’t do an MSN nudge, don’t you-there too.

MSN or WLM is Instant Messaging (IM), not Instant Replying.

(IR is integrated resort, that’s what Singapore calls their land of casino. It’s pleases the citizens. It isn’t just a casino, it’s an integrated resort and casino just so happens to be complimentary to the integrated resort. Oh come on, all those cruise ships and just casinos on water and we all know it.)

This made me laugh, sorry I couldn’t reduce the length. Reducing any parts weakens the effect of the following:

Not to be Confused with the Abstract F*cktory Pattern

Recently I (a Java architect) and one of our IT managers were interviewing a guy for a Java developer position. He was pretty bright, but unfortunately English was his second (or perhaps even third) language.

It was the usual interview story, asking the guy to tell us about the system that he’s currently working on. He went on to describe in some detail their Hibernate persistence layer, how they used Spring, and how their business layer worked. I was very impressed with his knowledge.

Then he said “and this is where we used the f*ckhead pattern.”

…silence…

Regaining my composure, I asked what was on everyone’s mind. “The what?”

“The f*ckhead pattern” was the response, enunciated perfectly.

…prolonged silence…

After taking a few moments to think of how to phrase the question, I finally asked “…would you mind spelling that for us?”

“F-A-C-A-D-E. F*ckhead.” he replied.

I had to bite my tongue not to laugh. You couldn’t make up stuff like this. Despite the hilarity of the situation, he was actually very sharp technically, so we ended up offering him the job. (Source: DailyWTF)

The local news is probably edited by patriots or optimistic people. On my occasions, I felt we’re living in an all-loving rosy world. I love you, you love me too. Aw…

Good news sells.

A demo on how to attack and capture audio on a Bluetooth headset using a handheld Nokia.

How To Eavesdrop on Bluetooth Conversations

I don’t know what’s going on half the time, but it made me avoid Bluetooth headsets. I don’t really get what’s the cool factor of having one of those Bluetooth sets that hangs on the ear. It looks odd, doesn’t look cool and you can probably see some people in their late thirties flaunting them as if they’re the latest gadget or something. I feel like crying each time I see it and not in the Robert Scoble way for sure.
