or how I have x-ray vision and can see into all the buildings nearby and witness the very same slow death of the Yellow Pages as I can see here:
I don’t know the exact number of tenants, but there are 12 suites in this building. I took one of the yellow pages, primarily just to make sure our listing is correct. So, roughly calculated, that means 1/2 of the suites bothered to pick up the yellow pages this year. I’m not sure of the average age of the tenants either, but I believe it goes up by floor 🙂 At any rate, there are people in university and there are folks who are getting grey hair, mentioning no names.
If we’re still in this building next year, I predict that given the half-life of the yellow pages , these books might not even make it into the lobby…
Google had a birthday yesterday – it’s 9th – this is really hard to believe. We were there, back in the day, testing out google beta. Now google is virtually an empire. Or is that an oxymoron?
My first geek moment in a while.
Used Mac terminal to successfully upload

Now, if you’re a programmer, you’re probably thinking, “how lame”, but hear me out. I can write some actionscript, which is OOP, and of course can hand-code HTML and css, (how can you promote web standards and not?), but I’m no programmer. I was first introduced to Subversion , while working on a client project. At first, it seemed like a big hassle, but I soon grew to love the simplicity of the command line mode.
Thus this moment, when I upload an image for the first time using one single, elegant and compressed line, is big. I relish it, and will look back with fondness at the newbie within.
Motto of the Day: Leave most stuff with the experts, but don’t be afraid to DIY (do-it-yourself)
Leaving this clich̩ here, as this blog will be full of clich̩s Рalbeit rich, juicy and cheerful ones.
