Camels in the Mist

• You morons who work the SFU cafeteria: Yes, i’m talking to you. With one single person in front of me in line, i order a BLT. I wait 20 minutes for my damn BLT while other people get served on the spot. A BLT consists of 2 pieces of bread, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Things to note: Tomatoes are red, not green. Also, toasting is optional. IF you choose to toast my bread, do not burn. It’s pretty hard to screw up a BLT, but you did it anyways. 20 minutes for a sandwich that is not only sub par, but well below edible. Figure it out, you’ve lost a customer. Good luck with your future endeavors. plskthxbai.
• Thinkgeek: Get it together. plskthxbai.
• UPS: I paid for shipping, you deliver the product. When i look up tracking, i see “THE RECEIVER DID NOT HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE ON THE 1ST DELIVERY ATTEMPT.” Why then, are you bugging my roommate for money? It’s paid for: deliver it. plskthxbai.
• Apple: I stopped being able to count the number of programming languages i know on a single hand many years ago. Why then, does your applescript that has [quote: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/applescript/] “Easy-to-learn English-like syntax.”, read like an ESL comp sci TA come to tutorial after dropping acid? It’s freaking hard to learn. The fact that you can litter a script with arbitrary articles (the word “the” is completely superfluous, as far as i can tell) inspires more confusion, head-on-desk-banging, vomit, and hair loss, than anything that resembles confidence. Your documentation also sucks. Figure it out. plskthxbai.
• Apple: you may be BSD-based, but your CLI support is beyond crap. I would like to be able to change my IP from the prompt. And actually have it work. plskthxbai. Also, your finder doesn’t let me create files. wtf is with that, anyways? Fix it. plskthxbai.
• Apple: Welcome to 2006. If you’re going to lock script execution to a single directory, don’t let me pick a target script from the entire filesystem, do me a favor and lock the picker to that directory and TELL me. plskthxbai.
• TEH INTARWEB: AJAX Sucks. Javascript Sucks. It’s a hack on a hack that is the WRONG solution to the problem it “solves”. Also, websites that use javascript links to open pages, you get a big fat shiny FOAD from me. I want to be able to open your website pages in tabs. plskthxbai. Also: all you weird people who are stalking me, go away and let me sulk in peace. plskthxbai.
• c, c++: You let me specify integer constants in decimal, hex, and octal. Binary would be nice, too. plskthxbai
• Xore: stop bitching, get back to work. plskthxbai.
