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.

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.

And you know something, I probably would watch it. Like if it were on. At some point.

… has an invalid qualified name

July 31, 2007 at 11:43 am · Filed under code

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?

I saw this on YouTube today.

“Inside and out, they are truly extraordinary humans…”

How about this, Inside and out, they are truly merciless killing machines. Yeah, that sounds better I think.
