Geek Speak: The Geekiest Thing I Said Today If you are a developer, you'll laugh at this.  If you're not you'll just think I am strange, or more politely - eccentric, or, as the british might say "he's a bit touched".  That is if you don't already. "I fully deprecate my personal life in favor of my work life ..." In a response to a comment on this essay. 10:47:22 AM  Google It!  comment []   IM Me About This

Marketing 101: How to Piss Off Web Customers Ok.  This will be a short, brutal angry rant.  I'll even admit it. DUMP THE DAMN POPUPs IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING !!!!

Thank You!  Englers.org is now Accessible! And 401K Tidbits Very cool.  John made his website www.englers.org able to have the fonts resized.  That's wonderful for me since I'm trying to NOT have my face all that close to the monitor and I'm trying to limit eyestrain (VI is up to 16 point font in a character terminal).  Here's his posting on 401Ks.  Good stuff: Take comfort dear investor... I am, especially after reading this quick read over at TMF. I read this story over at Newsweek, and sort of panicked about our 401(k), and then today TMF assuages my fears... and Josh is teaching me lessons all the time about LBYM. The problem is not with 401(k) plans themselves but with the lack of education to go with them. I recommend these couple of readings at TMF: The 60 second guides to index investing, 401(k), and IRAs, all from the Motley Fool.   5:15:14 AM  Google It!  comment []   IM Me About This
