2010-10-05T21:00:13Z <joe> Anyone know a convenient way to check a CVS repository for integrity? 2010-10-05T21:03:49Z <jane> give it $20 in change for a $10 and see if it takes the money or returns it?
The Others have different work habits and behaviours, they operate under unfamiliar work conditions.
I sit in an office right next to the meeting room, and I hate when the Others meet, because the walls are as thin as paper. Some of the Others joke that I may as well be in the meeting room with them.
I filter out most of the activity, except when the Others slam the doors and run in the corridors. And at a subconscious level, I become aware when they ramble or digress instead of adjourning, and that becomes annoying.
They’ve just adjourned.
Dom nous fournit une excellente explication du concept de datespace, sur IRC, suite à la question d’un de nos stagiaires:
2008-04-10T07:55:05Z <seb> c'est quoi un datespace ? 2008-04-10T07:56:27Z <dom> c'est un logement qui, au lieu d'avoir une cuisine, un salon, une salle de bain, a plein de petits placards au milieu desquels tu tombe par hasard sur un pommeau de douche, une cuisinière, un coussin, etc 2008-04-10T07:56:41Z <dom> l'avantage, c'est que tu n'as jamais de problème pour ranger quelque chose de nouveau 2008-04-10T07:56:55Z <dom> l'inconvénient, c'est que tu ne sais jamais où est ton lit quand tu en as besoin 2008-04-10T07:56:59Z <dom> mais bon, on peut pas tout avoir 2008-04-10T08:00:00Z <seb> hum ok 2008-04-10T08:01:17Z <dom> (moins métaphoriquement, c'est une méthode d'organisation d'un site web utilisée sur le site du W3C où les ressources sont organisées dans des répertoires du type /2008/04/ ) 2008-04-10T08:03:54Z <seb> aaaaaaaaaaah
The next batch of flights didn’t go so uneventfully. The flight from San Jose to Las Vegas was delayed by almost an hour. A shame since I had a shortish connection to make it to the Boston flight. So we landed mere minutes after the Las Vegas – Boston flight had left. The good thing was that I was were my suitcase was. I spent an hour in the America West customer assistance line, wondering where my legendary luck was and reflecting on how worse it could have been without the said luck. A very helpful lady booked me on a Delta flight to Boston. I had 5 hours to wait.
I walked from the airport to Las Vegas, at dusk, camera in hand. It was interesting. There aren’t a lot of people on their own in Las Vegas. (How mundane is that, for a comment?) I purchased a few gifts that I ended up misplacing on the next day, unfortunately. I took a few photos that turned out blurry; somehow the selector of my camera was on Manual Focus… I had a gourmet dinner at Wendy’s. And I walked back to the airport. It took 45 minutes. Only to find out that the 10:10 pm flight was delayed… “Est. 12:45 am”. Oh well…
I walked through security at 12:15 am. I was selected for further screening. They patted me down (and didn’t find the lighter in my left back pocket). They opened my bags, my computer, ran their sample pads on my jacket, on my shoes, detected explosives, ran some more sample pads on my shoes, x-rayed them again and eventually let me go. I was late by that time. I took the monorail to the gates, ran to gate D41 and boarded at the last minute. It would have been pretty ironic to miss that one. I arrived in Boston 9 hours after schedule. And my suitcase had made it.
I’m back in Boston for 3 months. Yay!
