You should watch this many times both because it is cute and because I could possibly win a MacBook according to this competition. This is my house-mate’s cat, Hades. She isn’t very good at cracking open the shell, but she tries.

If you’re a power user, by any definition of the word, then you probably have used the command prompt in Windows before. It’s also very likely that you’ve been frustrated by the inability to resize the window to anything wider than 24 characters. I’ve been using the windows command prompt for years and always just pegged it on Microsoft being ‘teh suck’, and assumed there wasn’t any other way to go about it. Today I discovered it doesn’t have to be this way.
I did this once before I had ever seen the comic (only I was buying two tickets; one for a friend). The attendant who I bought the tickets from was rather confused.
I like the summer for a lot of reasons. I don’t like the humidity now that it’s hot, but I like not having to worry about classes or programming assignments. In return I do have to worry about an internship at ORNL and finishing up a left over web project from my work at school (converting ionFolio from tables/images to XHTML/CSS). I also have a duty to figure out databases and some easier way to program for them (plain PHP is tedious). I’m thinking about learning to use either Django or Rails, or as a last resort ASP.net. Once I get my mind made up on that issue, my old roommate’s dad is self employed and needs a database solution for his business that nothing on the market really comes close to having everything he needs.
Most importantly, I like how the expectations for a post on Twitter are exponentially lower than for a post on a full-on blog like here. Twitter is also much more social, and I care more about doing stuff with people in the summer because I have time to. So if you’re looking to find out what I’m doing this summer, I this site will not tell you much. Instead, look to my Twitter page (also seen on the right at the top of my sidebar).
