corroded

  alias crontab='fuck you, <insert name of colleague here>'

Everyone knows that in a [in]sane workplace, you ALWAYS have to lock your machine. So this particular new hire forgot to lock her machine and one of the seniors (senior prankster, I would say) jumped into her terminal and set a crontab to run EVERY MINUTE.

So she comes back (we pair program so they were actually pairing that day) and goes on with programming for a few seconds. Then she tells us to be quiet. We're all like "WTF?" She asks, "Do you hear some robotic voice saying something?"

At this point we're all trying to listen but to no avail. She thinks it's her machine (which was connected to a 27" monitor) and proceeds to max the volume. A few seconds later, the whole office hears a thundering robotic voice say "ASSHOLE".

Everyone laughs. From that point onwards, we all had shortcuts to lock our screens, and as an added "security" feature, we aliased our crontab to actually say "fuck you" to our senior prankster.

I got confused the first tie with those jumping bubbles after the import as well. So I just went straight and clicked "Get Started". Anyway, I'm just saying it's not for me, but everyone, please try it first to see for yourself :) It has a neat UI and all.

I wanted to delete my account since I don't plan on using it....but then there's no delete account! Shouldn't that be one of the first features? (Although I do understand people make it hard for users to delete to give their apps a chance)

which was featured a couple of days ago? Maybe you could submit your "swatches" as themes and earn a couple of bucks :)

A few more weeks later and as expected, the PC succumbed to a bunch of viruses and I had to "fix" them. To cut the story short, I installed FIrefox, hid the IE icon and told them to use it as it's "just the same, they only look different". I then left and never had to fix any virus problem whatsoever.

Now, they're doing great with Firefox(I think my dad even uses Chrome now).

Lesson learned: 1. Let them suffer from virus infections caused by old browsers cough IE6 2. "Cure" said virus and introduce antibody - new browsers 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!

There are some projects that don't need senior devs THAT much, like basic CRUD apps, etc. And you'll be "continuing" your studies under the company's mentors/senior devs.

So yes, I think 8 weeks of studying RoR can make someone useful to a company. Not all, but probably one that needs juniors

I'm quite surprised that there are no donor centers in other countries. Are there? Most of these(or all) are first world countries - it scares me to think the chances of people in third world countries if even the ones listed here have a hard time looking for donors.
