Windows Persephone/Black Magic/Azure

Whenever I hear Persephone, I think of Beachcombers (long-running Canadian series). That was Nick's boat's name.

It's the name ... Windows Azure. It's too ... too ... fluffy. No one wants to discuss fluffy. If they had called it Windows Black Magic or Windows Storm, we'd be on it like pack of wild dogs on a 3 legged cat ... but ... Windows Azure ... even OSX sounds way cooler than that ... What's next!?!?! ... Windows Rainbow!?!?! Ugh.

I vaguely remember it being on South African telly. We watched it. Probably because there was nothing else to watch.

cheers, Paul M. Watson.

Ah, my childhood. PS, dont try to jump your boat over the logs in the weir, it just doesn't work like that.

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

Yes, but with less calories and far less health benefits. :-D

I'm waiting for Windows Feng Shui, where you have to re-arrange your icons in a manner which best enables your application to run.

No, that'd be you Macheads on your beloved iPods when you're aroused by those commercials with emo-pop music. "I tried to do hand-stands for you..."

Which is why I don't like pomegranate.

Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

Some fanboy annoy you today? :)

cheers, Paul M. Watson.

It's called the iPhone. If I don't keep a lid on my app. icons it gets frustrating and my feng shui goes out the window :(

cheers, Paul M. Watson.

Or the iPhone goes out the window. ;P
