They can go 36-126

And I won't care as long as all 36 wins are against the MFY and MFRS (if you don't know those abbreviations ask an Orioles fan in person).

Eat it C.C. 10-5 sucker, enjoy your 160 million. Oh and Tex you're supposed to get the ball out of the infield for 180 million, not hit weak grounders. So proud of all the fans that made it out today to and boo'd Tex heartily. Every story around the interwebz I read today made mention of that, it was awesome. Just goes to show the Warehouse what the fans will do if given a reason. so, McPhail... give us a reason!!

And another job goes overseas

My company, which I'll still not name, shipped another job overseas this week. Sorry Jeff, the DBA job isn't here anymore. My biggest concern is that he's 12 hours ahead of us, how am I supposed to working interactively with him/her?

I hate you IE. I hate your guts with the fire of a thousand suns

I've been working professionally for 8 years now. I've been a programmer for 14. And nothing, NOTHING!, pisses me off more than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Seriously don't use it.

Today's case in point? Javascripts getElementsByName function. The documentation says that it returns all DOM objects with the name given. So if you said something like:


var verisons = document.getElementsByName('Mike');


It should return to you all the elements on the page that have the name attribute set to Mike. In fact, this is exactly what Firefox does (I can only speak for FF and IE because I dont' have/use Safari, Opera or Chrome). What does IE return? Every element who's ID attribute is 'Mike'. Why?! That's what getElementById does!!! Learn to actually read your own flippin documentation!!!!!!!

God, I hate IE!
