Today was my last day at my job in downtown Detroit. Change is afoot.
I put together a bed today from Cost Plus World Market that could have probably crushed me. This was dumb.
I still have a reflexive dislike for PHP, for many of the same reasons (and more!) I tend to avoid Perl after having lived in it for over a decade.
But, damn, if the developers of WordPress and MediaWiki didn’t make things easy to install. My horror will probably return once I start to look under the hood.
Methinks that Sudoku puzzles were what Ragle Gumm was working on in Phillip K. Dick’s Time Out of Joint. They’re making me all shifty and paranoid.
Is it just me, or is there some almost obscene irony to have just seen a local TV news program present a story about rising oil and fuel prices–only to see them, with straight faces, immediately follow that up with a report on the upcoming Woodward Dream Cruise in the Detroit area?
