Mushroom Life Cycle
I’m not too big into all this social media networking virality stuff, but I been known to occasionally use The Twitter. Here are some snippets from conversations that I’ve had on The Twitter. If you like to say hi, reply the reply button at juixe and techknow.
V-Day Victory!!!
- @techknow: I like the day after Valentine’s Day 50% more than V-Day, that is because I can get all the chocolate covered marshmallow for 50% off.
- @ladyfox14: Hahaha, just make sure you don’t get a stomach ache. It sounds like Halloween all over again.
- @techknow: LOL I did get a tummy ache eating all that chocolate… I overdosed on marshmallows.
In the this conversation, I think of the meaning of life and everything in terms of software development life cycle and software process best practices.
Life as Beta
- @juixe: Life is a beta release.
- @gkmaestro: Then is death the Product release ??? :P
- @juixe: LOL it depends on your views of the after life, death + rebirth might mean upgrade.
- @gkmaestro: ha ha perhaps, then Patches n hot fixes might be moments of happiness in ur life :-)
- @juixe: as a developer, and user, no hot fix has ever made me happy. ;)
Here I must have had in mind some story about when programmers would get royalty on the code the write. If you get paid on the usability f an application, imagine getting dinged $10 per bug.
Bug Bounty
- @techknow: Can you imagine only getting paid if there is no bugs in your code?
- @mcory1: I’d be panhandling if that were the case.
- @techknow: LOL I often think what I would do if I wasn’t doing what I do, and panhandling is an option.
I try not to get political on my timeline but it’s been hard to not tweet about what is happening in the world, fires in Russia, floods in Pakistan, earthquake all over the Western Hemisphere, financial collapse in the develop world, world recession, etc. And yet, what technology pundits focus on is what laptop brand world leaders are using!
Economic Fail Because We Focus on the Wrong Thing
- @cote: Watching Papandreou on the Zakaria GPS bit. The Greece PM has a MacBookPro on his desk, in background. Wonder if that’s his.
- @techknow: Greece might default on billions, people protesting in the streets and all you notice is the Mac. LOL. I wonder if he has an iPad?
- @cote: Yeah, a bit too micro, I guess ;)
Again, I try to not get political but when someone makes a comparison of Facebook to a country I had a little something to say, unfortunately it didn’t all fit into the 140 character limit on Twitter.
Facebook Nation
- @ArabCrunch: If facebook was a country it would be the 3ed biggest country in the world.
- @techknow: and it would be a dictatorship not unlike North Korea, where the country is built in labor camps which look like Farm Ville re-education camps and your data can’t travel outside the country without permission of the Fhurer Zuck.
