Mental notes to myself

404 - Someone who is clueless. From the Web error message, “404 Not Found,” which means the document requested couldn’t be located. “Don’t bother asking John. He’s 404.”

Adminisphere - The rarified organizational layers above the rank and file that makes decisions that are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant.

Alpha Geek - The most knowledgeable, technically proficient person in an office or work group. “I dunno, ask Rick. He’s our alpha geek.”

Assmosis - The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.

Batmobiling - putting up emotional shields. Refers to the retracting armor that covers the Batmobile as in “she started talking marriage and he started batmobiling”

MySQL 5.0 RC is out. It’s so exciting for me to say that because waiting 3 years for MySQL 5 and finally we have an RC.

Wow. I wonder when the prod version will be out. They better release it soon.

Do you incessantly spout unnecessary or obscure information that would make Cliff Clavin from the TV show “Cheers” jealous? Lose the “know-it-all” attitude or you’ll make a career of lunching alone.

Then, do you make sure everyone sees you working past 5 p.m.? Well you’re not impressing anyone; rather you’re annoying those who already have put in a full day before you even get warmed up.

IEBlog on the weekend announced a new toolbar for IE 6 and 7 : A developer toolbar.

Toolbar is absolutely same as Firefox toolbar WebDeveloper plus an IEBlog button, which gave me a good laugh.

Still a nice effort for MS seeing that Validate HTML and CSS options on that toolbar. No surprise it’s made by 5 interns and a developer. I guess those interns will never make it to full time employees if they continue to care about standards and etc. Somebody should tell them to stop using firefox at MS HQs too.

Nothing new in the toolbar, all just a replica.
