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
Those who do not invent wheels are stuck re-inventing them
work·ing group [wur-king groop] -noun. 1. The intersection of web technology and religion
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.

Feel free to improve on or re-use them

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

Cheers!

Rich text is for people with plain ideas.

SELECT `script` as new_status FROM funny_scripts WHERE already_used != 1

wish coming up with a good and funny status message was that easy

hallvors # 30. September 2008, 21:16

what about this one?

When I grow up, I want to be a social engineer

I run a school of social engineering.

@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

Perfection is easy if you get to define "perfect"

We should only break the web if it makes it less broken

letters, numbers, and symbols go here

I came up with this one being nowhere near a computer it is for when I sleep: z's in progress

your current one is 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.

the slowest way to learn from other people's mistakes is to debug software

web compatibility is all about being ugly

btw, @d4n3 - your "school of social engineering" line above still makes me smile every time. A born classic

Achievement is noise, failure is signal

All sufficiently advanced simplicity is undistinguishable from complexity
