Take Which Doctor Who companion are you? (girls) today!
Created with Rum and Monkey's Personality Test Generator.
You're Donna Noble!

Oi! Wotch it, Martian boy! The Doctor thinks he can spout all kinds of ridiculous technobabble and 'Last Time Lord Angst' at you just because he's from outer space, huh? Well, you're not having any of it! You've got a heart of gold and a will of iron, and you're a rather boggling combination of a romantic idealist and a staunch realist. But you never let logical paradoxes get to you; you prefer to shoehorn the universe into a little box of your own perception. More often than not, it fits... probably because the universe is too intimidated to argue!


AKA Why I am the one black belt of all the ones he's trained that Pat Burleson would choose to have at his back in a bar fight.

My iPad, [personal profile] cleverthylacine's cat. No worries about scratches; glass is hard, claws aren't (patio doors get scratched by pets with sand under their claws).

Name parsing fail:



Why? Because on the page where you enter it, the form looks like this:



To top it off, the complaint form looks like this:



The first computer-related job I had, they added the "Lee Ann Rule" to the names database just for me; the database designer had originally set it up so spaces were an illegal character.

Do not assume that the first space in a name is the first/last break; it annoys the hell out of the exceptions, and it screws up your database. Just give people two fields to enter, and let them put whatever they want in it.

in the proprietary software world 28% of those involved are women, in the free software world it is 1.5% (don't miss the dot);

I've always been in the proprietary software world at places like ParcPlace, Apple, and VMware, where they really *do* only care how good your code is.

Found here, and while the article is good, the comments prompted James Nicholl to give it a rightly deserved "memetic prophylactic recommended" tag.

Oh noes! The state where I was born tossed the paper copy of my birth certificate and went electronic - maybe I'm not American!
