Yup, wrote a nice long post about pointers/memory management in C. Of course, I wrote it in Ecto, my blogging app of choice.
Self – “Hmm, think this’d look a bit better if I stuck the little code bits in <code> tags”
Ecto – “…”
S – “Sweet, just added all the <code> tags in HTML mode, back to rich text”
E – “GGAAARRRRRRR FUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU *randomly deletes half of the post*”
S – “…”
It was still a decent post, and it was good to write, so I’ll write it again tomorrow, but fuck you Ecto.
Fuck you.

Bit too expensive (probably up to €1500-2000 all in), total trip time a bit too short (seven days), but there’s not much else wrong with it.

I’ll leave it as one of those things I would do if I’d lots of money. (June 12-19)

See lots of nice cars in London (saw an R34 last week, see a Ferrari about once every ten days, there’s an Aston Martin that lives on my route to Tescos), but this particular one is the most impressive so far. Again, my phone camera is shit, dunno why I didn’t take the snap in landscape:

Not too bad.

The other team on my floor at work have most of their scheduling and stuff facing outwards from their cubicles. It’s quite interesting, you get a quick overview of the progress of the project and timelines every time you walk past. When they’ve a deadline coming up, they pin up specific tasks that need to be done. Most are just plain descriptions, important ones have “High Priority” printed on them in red. And the very important ones?

Made me chuckle.

Flicking through the Sky Magazine (still waiting on my 20mb broadband…) while eating dinner, I saw a feature – “You Ask The Questions – Kim Kardashian”. To the best of my knowledge, she’s one of the Americans with no talent, skills or intelligence, but has her own reality show, so everything’s TOTALLY OK OMG.
Anyway, flick through the questions (I’ve long since stopped hoping to see questions like “DON’T YOU FEEL YOUR SHOW IS A CANCER ON SOCIETY?”), one caught my eye – “What do you do when you visit the UK?”. Not that I particularly care, but I’m curious where the “trendy” parts of London are, seeing as so many rich people live here (moreso than Dublin).
Skim read it as:
“London…favourite cities…Topshop…Peter Pan [Bi-...London Eye"
Oh, there's some sort of Peter Pan musical on (I walk past a few different shows on the way to work)? Better reread that.
"We saw the clock that was in Peter Pan [Big Ben] and the London Eye”
…
But none of this matters: KATIE MARRIED ALEX IN LAS VEGAS!!!!!
