A triangle with 2 points

He's a dork and a nerd, and he kind of thinks they're going out, but she is thinking not really... and she is like Miss Congeniality: Yang Jie. In this lesson, the monologue is over as we exit the diary and they finally meet in person!



"Prepare for a snotty exchange"

Integrated Podcasts

Hey, don't let me leave this place without giving you something to study! I have a habit of doing that sometimes. You should be studying Spanish and Chinese, unless you really want to learn Arabic or Korean. Episode 1 of ArabicPod.net is priceless...

Heyna nizzarati? Fouq at-tawila? La araaha! Unzhur tahta at-tawila!!




Take this Chinese and Spanish lesson with my cumpleaños. I mean, compliments!

Word of the Day

wài 外 outside, external, foreign, in addition
guó 國,国 country; state; nation

wàiguó - 外國 foreigner

A foreign national is willing to say anything for the benefit of his own nation. He is not from your nation and he does not by default understand your concerns. While he is visiting your nation, he will probably integrate some of your cultural mores.

Arabic: mustashariq - Somebody coming to visit the east: when we say as a greeting Ahlan wa Sahlan it means we expect that our visiting "ta-kun" will become a part of the local culture. It says basically "come as a guest and stay as a friend."

We don't really have any inexpensive or convenient way to deport him so we really don't know how long he will be staying. There's a German story about a family with a thatched roof belongs right here, and the punchline sounds like this:

"If you keep taking my thatches for souvenirs, I will sooner have no roof at all!"

Now I think I should write a novel.

Word of the Day

Husbandry - the art of caring for horses. It's much easier if you have some kind of wall or fense to keep them in (or the she/wolves specially named amy, to keep them out) for sure. Google thinks this word is about real estate...

farming: the practice of cultivating the land or raising stock

That's how you get to be a plant lady. You don't want to be a plant lady. Surely not unless you can have a lake with that. Ooh ooh ooh, I'm still in time for Madonnals...

is great Ø:-D
i swear it to be true!

Java Server Faces

OK so I know it's a pain supporting legacies sometimes but this is just absurd... 6000 by 9000 pixels? How am I supposed to print that with any less than an enormous (and surely expensive) plotter, like the HP DesignJet? I don't like having schemas if I can't keep them on my wall, and my office printer puts out 8.5x11 sheets, well I don't know if that can even print this many pixels on a sheet.

So CTAF, the common testing automation framework, is pretty big and complicated. The myThomson application, on the other hand, is GREAT and seems to be full of a lot of useful content, like this introduction to Java Server Faces. I wish more people would use it!



I don't know if that link is going to work for you. It works for me! My Repo is password protected, and if you haven't logged in then you probably won't get the image. You've probably seen Windows screenshots before, not missing much. Whatever the case I'm quite sure this software could be simpler than it is.

What's the old adage? You can't fix all the bugs... that's what they say anyway, but I heard a rumor that you can actually fix all of the bugs! Must have been someone in the US Marines told me that, all programs can be shortened to one line that doesn't work.

We'll get there some day, my friends :D
