Define Fun
In an effort to not talk about politics, terrorism or the middle east, here’s a collection of random stuff on my mind: This morning, I got an urgent request to crunch some server logs. Now, that’s not so fun. But, taking the crunched data and inserted approximately seven hundred and seventy thousand records into a […]
Give it a break, already
I know I’ve been on a downer lately, so here’s something that, while not funny, is at least positive. How amazing is Mozilla?
