Email diarrhea

meetingboy:

(n) the act of replying to a ten or more emails in a five minute period without answering or clarifying anything.

Examples:

  • I’m having trouble opening the attachment. Please resend.
  • I’m not sure what this question is about. Can you send me some background?
  • The 2010 numbers aren’t ready yet. Check back in a week.
  • I’m not sure.

I believe even helpful emails can constitute email diarrhea. Sometimes you need to get it out.

Merlin’s Love Affair with Quicksilver

merlin:

It was a good run. So long, old friend.

I love LaunchBar—but she’ll never be another you.

[Now, for our memorial service—please, cue a shitty Harry Chapin song. Any will do.]

Alfred feels like the second generation of Quicksilver, especially with the Powerpack.

In another fifty years, I wonder if we’ll look back on the offices used to conduct the Iraq war (I use the word ‘conduct’ loosely) and marvel at how much of the furniture and desk junk was given over to facilitating the act of computing.

Dear AJ from Pomona,

tiffanyjam:

I lied. I’m not a law student. I’m not a student at LMU at all, actually. I’m not from Long Beach either. And, you’ve probably guessed by now, that boyfriend I spoke of last night is, in fact, non-existent.

I’m not a pathological liar but you would seriously not. go. away. And you had jank breath, so getting close to my face was definitely not a good look.

Sincerely,

Tiffany (Yes, that is my real name)

Clearly the guy was a loser, otherwise he would have known that the Law School is just Loyola Law School, not LMU or Loyola Marymount

Failure

Couple of questions:

  1. Why is there not a way for the browser to pass to a website whether certain features are available? Or to run a test on certain features? That way new browsers might work before being officially approved by every bank and site you might need to pay a bill on individually.
  2. Does the “javascriptFailure” in the url mean that that this did exactly what I’m asking? Or is it a piece of poor wording that is actually just a sick joke for anyone with enough free time to actually read the URL of a webpage telling you that you failed?
