I have neglected my blog in the passing two weeks or so. I have some ideas for posts, but I'm still working on it (this was an explanation ;-).
In the mean while, something different. One of the most effective stress relieving techniques is just a good laugh. As a software developer, there's this one site which is guaranteed to make me laugh. Better than reruns of Seinfeld. It's called Worse Than Failure (or WTF, yeah).
They have all kind of computer programs mishaps. It mainly falls into these categories (although there are some others as well):
- CodeSOD - interesting and usually incorrect code snippets taken from actual production code in a commercial and/or open source software projects.
- Tales from the Interview - Job interview stories.
- Error'd - fun error messages and other visual oddities from the world of IT.
The last one is a true jewel. It features UI bloopers that never cease to amaze me. Goofy dialog boxes with cryptic error messages, web sites with overflown numbers and what not. I highly recommend adding it to your RSS reading list for those moments you just need a break.
