The cake is a lie

If you haven’t played Portal, or at least watched video for the final credits, you probably won’t get how amazing this is.

If you have, and you do, you’re in for a treat.

Laws of Technology

Clarke’s Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Benford’s Corollary: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Raymond’s Second Law: Any sufficiently advanced system of magic would be indistinguishable from a technology.

Sterling’s Corollary: Any sufficiently advanced garbage is indistinguishable from magic.

Langford’s application to science fiction: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a completely ad-hoc plot device.

Every so often a character enters the realm of popular culture and quickly becomes unforgetable.

An instant classic. This is the story of nature’s most unlikely hero.

Doggy Poo.

No seriously. Its a real film. Watch this trailer for it.

… has an invalid qualified name

I like to google error messages that I encounter, as any good developer should. I googled the message “… has an invalid qualified name.”, and I got what has to be one of the most helpful reference messages ever:

XML-21017: invalid qualified name: string
Cause: The qualified name passed to a DOM function was invalid.
Action: Fix the qualified name.

Wow. Thanks. I need to fix the qualified name now do I? Thats really helpful. You really are a helpful reference aren’t you?
