So, I start work tomorrow. Neat, huh?

You know I don't like memes.

So this stops with me.

The awesomest burrito ever ()

I just had a burrito which was just so awesome I had to describe it.

Voice-prompt menus fucking suck (, )

by fluffy at 1:14 PM
Back in the good old days of number-prompt menus, you could access most systems without talking and disturbing others (in an office or while on a cellphone), and any talking would be limited to actually speaking with a real person. With frequently-accessed systems, you could remember a quick series of keys to get to frequently-accessed menus, and also interrupt the speaker by simply making a selection when you know which one needs to be made. If you knew you just needed to speak with a live operator, you could just press 0 and immediately be put into the queue.

Cold sores ()

by fluffy at 1:45 AM
I have always had oral herpes simplex B (known commonly as cold sores, and not to be confused with genital herpes), and as a result, when I'm under extreme duress I'd get these really painful open sores in my mouth.

I had a pretty good flareup on April 5 with a sore which seemed like it would be the kind which would get pretty big, run its whole course and last a whole month. Strangely, on April 7, it was entirely gone.

Vietnamese-style beef soup ()

by fluffy at 10:12 PM
This is sort of an alternate-universe take on my normal wasabi beef noodle soup. It's definitely not authentic by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still yummy.

This is why GET requests aren't supposed to have side-effects ()

by fluffy at 11:54 AM
Google Web Accelerator preloads every link on a page, including logout/delete/etc. This actually isn't anything new in web-accelerator land, but apparently since Google is involved, people are suddenly treating the issue differently.

T-Mobile sucks (, )

by fluffy at 12:34 PM
So, once upon a time, I had a 600 anytime/unlimited weekend minute plan on my phone. But I almost never ever used more than 100 minutes, so last August I changed my plan to 300 anytime. Which I forgot about doing.

In April I used 390 anytime minutes. So I got $40 of overage charges.

T-Mobile used to give me lots of "loyalty minutes" for not switching to another carrier (which I never used). Of course, when I actually need them, they're gone.
