Of Course this Happened

By Patrick On July 15, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I spent some time tonight in my local bar while doing my laundry. The bartender was super nice, so I went back even after laundry was done. And because I like to drink. And I stayed because they were doing karaoke later. I thought I might stick around and hear some chops. More importantly, I [...]

Grandmas Have No Teeth

By Patrick On July 6, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Today I was walking near a group of young kids on a field trip. To prevent the little ones from harassing old folks, the chaperone was keeping them occupied in a sing-along as they “marched”:

Grand. Mas. Got.
No teeth,
A big hat,
And no shoes on.

It’s worth mentioning [...]

Like to take walks with their hands locked clasped behind their backs. I’d like to mention that I wish I was comfortable walking in this pose.

Prevent asdoc Errors from Getting you Down

By Patrick On June 1, 2011 · 1 Comment

I remembered today I had been here before: trying to set up an Eclipse external tool configuration for asdoc generation. So why not write something down that might save some time if there’s another next time. Why the hell hasn’t Adobe integrated ASDoc generation support into Flash Builder though??!!!! They charge enough for their shit, [...]
