How Modern Dinosaurs Are Made.

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

Head hunters continue to scrape the bottom of their barrels, by contacting me for AIX positions that keep coming up (or are re-listed). They know, or should know, I haven’t touched AIX in any serious way since the 90s, AIX 4.3 or thereabouts.

They should also know that I’m not looking. Nice to feel wanted I suppose.

That being said, I do kinda miss the jack-boots that came with AIX. This tinker toy Linux stuff is fun at times but not very enterprisey.

I guess if talent with that tech is so scarce I could consider finding more out about it, and give them extortion level rates…. to see what they would do.

Just like the COBOL Y2K remediation guys did in 1998-1999.

Wait, does that make me the same as the COBOL dinosaurs? o_O

DIY Reality Distortion Field

I’m not saying Steve Jobs has been perfect, or on-target all of the time. However, these two videos speak to his philosophy and doing what you love to do vs settling for anything less, for what you have right now.

There’s no shortage of animated gifs of various kinds to be found on the interwebs.

Probably the biggest reason why the gif format will never die out.

Today I happened across the following website

What’s behind all those flash blocked objects you may ask?

Clickable Images!

WTF!? What’s wrong with IMG and A tags?

Flash Abuse has definitely rotted some web designers brain completely out.
