My O statuses

Monday, 29. September 2008, 12:43:11

Some of my past status messages on My Opera - just because I don't like old messages disappearing when replaced, and thought some of them were good enough to keep somewhere.. This blog post is "somewhere". Reverse chronological order.

Rich text is just plain text with more money

Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by deadlines.
It can be much harder to figure out why something works than why something is broken.

Good idea! I noticed you had some good ones up and I'm glad you saved them

Cheers!

@hallvors,

if you need help with selecting a status...just PM my 'cause i've got a bucket load of them

(I have a different status each day on my IM accounts

)

Free Sample


shadow.addEventListener("work",function(){
 if(boss.satisfied!=true){
    return electric.shock();
 }else{
   return electric.shock();
 }
},false);

It might need some global vars

and it might not even work...but it looks and sounds good

No incompatibility turns down an opportunity for causing havoc on a major website.

How do you like your time, killed or saved?

The problem with making a web browser is that you must eat the dog food of every web developer on the planet.

Chas4 # 18. March 2009, 05:06

does the dog food have different flavors?

hallvors # 19. March 2009, 11:23

More flavours than you can imagine!

PS.. for any readers who do not get the "dog food" phrase, look at Wikipedia's definition of "eating one's own dog food.
