I’ve been scheduled for a conference call without my input on the time for more than 7Ksecs before I usually resume consciousness.  In the past this has usually resulted in disaster for the other involved parties, as I typically can’t resume from standby that early, let alone speak in coherent sentences or form what humans [...]

So after working thirteen hours in a row I came home and thought of a handy function to bandaid some legacy code that returns a url with double slashes after the TLD. I realize this is a worse solution than fixing the code in question, but my regex-fu could use work so I though I’d [...]

Real quick, here’s a little clip about when I’m getting a new phone:

I will be selecting a mobile phone product and carrier for personal needs as my company decided to switch to T-Mobile. The T-Mobile “service” I get is completely unacceptable, especially considering I live and work in a pretty densely populated area and can see one of their corporate buildings from my own office.

I found some great code at work today I’d like to share. I’ve omitted anything that might qualify as a trade secret or proprietary information. I’ve also changed the names of the innocent variables to make it more readable. Also, this won’t be funny if code makes your brain hurt.
Here’s the error I kept finding:
