I am a computer software engineer/architect, and I may sometimes write about things related to the work that I do. Notwithstanding that, whatever company I'm working for at the time has no connection to this web log or the writing herein, and what I say, no matter the topic, comes from me alone and does not represent the opinions or policies of my employer.
Comment previewing
I use comment moderation to avoid comment-spam and nastiness, not to filter opinions. I intend to publish all reasonable comments, whether or not they agree with me. I will not publish any comment that is unduly flaming or that uses foul language, whether or not it agrees with me. You may contact me about an entry by making a comment and telling me that it is a private comment, in which case I will not publish it. If you want a response, include your email address. For privacy reasons I won’t publish a comment that contains someone’s email address.
Unfortunately, because of comment spam I am no longer accepting anonymous comments. You may use a Google account or OpenID with a pseudonym, but you will have to log in to comment. I would rather not do this, but... blame the spammers.

Wow, that makes you think. It really raises questions about meaning, and how we interpret messages being constantly thrown at us from all sides.
*adjusts spectacles*
Why did this post make me smile? :-)
I wish you had filled it in.
This post did NOT make me smile. And Laurie, let me just say two words - Leiba's Lament. WDNNS icon.
Of course, at the time, Laurie didn't know about my being laid off. Nor does she know about "Leiba's Lament"; maybe I'll have to do a blog post about that soon.
Actually, it made me smile too, when I realized how it'd only be the old-timers who would understand the reference that the title makes. We barely even have technical manuals any more.
OMG! I'm considered an old-timer!!!! And you are an ex-friend now! :D
Yikes! I'm sorry! I had no idea.
I guess I'm an old timer, but we still use the that phrase on blank pages throughout our environmental documents.
Sorry to hear that you were laid off. I hope it leads soon or eventually to changes and opportunities that make you happy.
