Radioactive Jam

Hi. *waves*

Anyone still check this blog their spam folders for slightly clever and/or interesting entries? I do. Though the pickings have been lean of late, I did get this one today.

Dear vermax,

I don’t know what to say, mostly because I remember so little from my high school Russian classes. Guess all I can tell you is “вот он Ёжик.”^*

I’m Radioactive Jam and I approve this message.

^* Translation: “Here is the hedgehog.”^†
† Possibly.

Is this thing on?

One of these days, Alice. One of these days.

Let’s play “See if he remembers how to insert pics in a blog post.”

Okay yes, I cheated and copied stuff from an existing post. But it worked, and I think that’s all that matters. Those with opposing views can discuss the matter with my new-found feiend in charge of the Radioactive Complaint Department.

Greetings. 

Have I mentioned I’m in Japan - working, sad to say, not touring - for the month of August? I haven’t mentioned? Maybe that’s because of my UNBELIEVABLY HORRIFIC SLOW internet connection here?

Nevertheless, Japan = awesome++.

Awesome.

I’d post pics but cannot because UHS connection means no uploading.

Perhaps when I get back to the US, hmm?

I have managed to go on a day trip to Miyajima, which was cool. There were supposed to be hordes of wild monkeys roaming the island; I saw none.

None.

NONE.

*sigh*

Maybe next weekend!

How ya doing?

Me, I’m thinking about coming up with a couple blog-related New Year Resolutions. I’ll let you know as soon as I have some.

Okay seriously, I’m a total slacker and I’m sorry. As in “pathetic.”

But I’ll stop slacking and start bligging again soon I promise.

I’m trying to find a for-real poster like the picture shown below, to give to a car enthusiast co-worker. So far I’ve hit Teh Googles and despair.com but not found it available for purchase. Any ideas?

The picture linked in the previous post? Not me I swear. I can’t even take credit for finding the picture; I tripped over it in this plurk, scorched my eyeballs and decided you needed an opportunity to do the same.

If I were really clever, I’d have suggested a caption contest. Now it’s too late; I’m still laughing at Erik The Replicant’s comment (#2 on the previous post), and I’m having trouble imagining a better caption for that picture.

However.

Feel free to try, because Ya Never Know.

Life is full of risks, you know?

For example. By putting this link in a blog post, I risk losing readers.

I don’t know what to say except “I’m sorry” and I hope you’ll forgive me some day.

Here’s a snippet of pseudocode I wrote this afternoon:

if ( ( lunch == slim_jim * 4 + jack_cheese ) && PM_meeting ) /*then*/
gas_problem = true;

This code runs in a TMI context.

Disclaisure: I’m not clever enough to create things like this or even find them without professional help. A plurk feiend brought this to my attention and, well, I liked it. A lot.

The end.
