When someone needs your friendship and love until they are out of their misery, then they realize that you aren't really the one ... they go to the next without feeling the same hurt they cause you ... solution? Fuck 'em all and believe that love is stupid.

Dating a flight attendant?

2011-03-18T12:44:00.002+08:00

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Discuss:Do_flight_attendants_cheatAnyone married or dating a flight attendant? How is the relationship going?I have been dating my girlfriend for 9 months now. The first two months I would describe as a casual fun fling time - no commitments attached. The rest up to 3 months ago, were beautiful - filled with love, hot sex, laughter, intimacy, friendship, sharing, etc.

Waterfall Disguised as Agile

2010-06-10T16:54:00.008+08:00

Ok, so lately I have been working so many extra hours - too many late nights, and no sight of deck cards (planning poker). There always seem to be issues necessitating us developers to stay longer hours, be them release commitments, deployment problems, etc. Even though we claim to be Agile, we really aren't. I don't think it is fair, and it does disrupt the lifestyle. Last night for example, we

Does it?

2010-02-08T17:34:00.002+08:00

Does the prospect of having a finger pushed up your cunt make you wet?What if it was my hard cock sliding ever so slowly between your anal muscles; can your sweet tight butt take it??

Multiculturalism is a Joke

2009-12-31T04:49:00.003+08:00

* Multiculturalism actually promotes racism. It engenders confusion, resentment and bullying and prevents people developing a shared system of values and identity. Thankfully, the term is fading in value, and with good reason.* Immigrant Ethnic Groups (IEG) must, at the bare-minimum, learn the hosting country's language (both oral and written).* IEG should at least integrate; and assimilate in

Stolen Questions

2009-11-09T19:14:00.003+08:00

Brazenly stolen from Lexi, who got it from Kara and Jess, who in turn got it from someone else. 1. What is the color of your toothbrush? Blue 2. Name one person who made you smile today. Dwayne (boring answer). 3. What were you doing at 8 am this morning? Leaving home to work. 4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Driving home from work 5. What is your favorite candy bar? Snickers 6.

Thinking Loud - Entity Framework, CSLA, Repository Pattern, DDD

2009-10-01T23:11:00.003+08:00

Again I say, if you are keen on using separation of layers, and CSLA (to model your domain model), don't use Entity Framework as something more than an ORM (much like linq to sql). Modelling entities in your DAL (using the Entity Framework), is against the desired architectural practice.Having said that, I really like the functionality of EF (in building an object tree - associations, etc), and

E is the solution: I believe that what we really want is not sex. What we really want is intimacy

2009-09-06T15:46:00.000+08:00

What does it take to experience real intimacy with someone? What is love? What is intimacy?Dr. Henry Brandt, in the Collegiate Challenge magazine, said that there is a syndrome, a pattern, when couples come to him. They say, "At first, sex was exciting. Then I started feeling funny about myself, and then I started feeling funny about my partner. We argued and fought and finally we broke up. Now

Alex Wilson explains Silhouettes on White Backgrounds

2009-08-26T21:29:00.007+08:00

Very good technique employed here. I believe Alex exposes for the background light and then ups that by 2 stops. Make sure that behind the camera and to the sides there are no reflective surfaces, otherwise you will get the flash light reflecting back onto the model, thereby canceling the silhouette effect you are after. One way to avoid this is to use a weak flash and start from

Art or Porn?

2009-08-23T21:24:00.008+08:00

Many times I have come across works that got deemed pornographic: ‘this isn’t art, it is porn!’And, every time I see this happening, I get very irritated. Let’s talk math … According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a work of art, by definition, is something that gives high aesthetic satisfaction and gives sensational feelings to the viewer or listener. Let all works that satisfy the above

SQL Server 2005 Express | Fix : Error 18452

If you are going to be using MS SQL Server 2005 Express for development, you might want to be able to login using sql authentication (rather than windows authentication). In that case, you might want to read this http://www.linglom.com/2007/08/31/enabl ... 5-express/ to avoid the totally annoying and painful message: “Login failed for user ‘sa’. The user is not associated

How to beat TOAD's security: Copy the sync script!

2009-08-20T15:56:00.003+08:00

How do you copy TOAD's sync script between two schema's when you do not have the right permissions? Well, here are three ways for you :)1) Setting up a Print to file printer with a Generic / Plain Text driver, then printing with that.2) Use something like AutoIt3) Select all text and press ctrl+f - all selected text will be copied to the Find dialog.

Correctness of Sequences in Oracle

Here is a script that checks the correctness of sequences in Oracle: 1 declare 2 l_val number; 3 l_max number; 4 begin 5 for r in ( 6 select ucc.table_name 7 , ucc.column_name 8 from user_cons_columns ucc 9 , user_constraints uc10 where uc.constraint_type = 'P'11 and uc.constraint_name = ucc.constraint_name12 13 ) loop14

Use JDeveloper to deploy JSP in Tomcat

2009-08-20T15:35:00.004+08:00

1) Install servlet container Tomcat. By default it runs on port 8080. Because I had Oracle APEX running on port 8080, I modified Tomcat's server.xml to listen on 8081.2) In JDeveloper, create an application and a project within.3) Add a new index.jsp file. I had the following test code in:<%@

MySQL from within Oracle's SQL Developer

2009-08-20T15:03:00.002+08:00

If you like working with Oracle SQL Developer, and want to connect to a MySQL database, download MySQL Java Connector (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.0.html). Unzip it and point SQL Developer to the jar in it:Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC DriversThen point it at wherever you have your MySQL Connecter/J jar file, which in my case was:C:\

Software Metrics

2009-08-20T14:42:00.003+08:00

One of the things one must do before they start going crazy on refactoring legacy code, is to get some metrics. That way we get an idea of where we want to go, and how much effort we need to put in.The cyclomatic complexity metric, which is a measure of the complexity of algorithms used in a method. It can be thought of as a count of test cases required to comprehensively test a method. In a

1800s and Enemas

2009-04-12T15:07:00.003+08:00

The clyster syringes, used to inject enemas, were portrayed in the 17th and 18th century paintings and caricatures, which reveals that enemas were not merely a medical remedybut were also perceived as fashionable at the time. The character of such an operation and the code of conduct for women were usually responsible for the derogatory symbolisms present in female enema depictions of the

Hottest Day of 2006

Hottest Day of 2006Originally uploaded by Girls of AcidI took this photo on Dec 16, 2006. It was the hottest day of the year - a high of 40 degrees celsius. Many fires took place around. But as they say, 'There is no rose without thorns'; this example proves that!Note: In the Arabic language, we say, "mafeesh 7alawa min-g'air nar" or "mafeesh warda min-doon shouk".

Life is good, but missing Ester!

Wow, I can't believe this: 1 year, 5 months and 3 days since I blogged last time!A lot has changed since; mostly good in my view. I started a new job as a software developer in June, 2007. I am truly happy and satisfied with this position. The company I work for is a relatively small (~13 employees) family-run business. It is big on agile software development and the semco business style. And of
