Making sure published iCal Calendars have the correct TimeZone

Filed under: tagme — @ 11:20 am

I just spent a bit of time head scritching why the heck the
calendar I created in iCal didn’t work correctly. After searching
around I finally stumbled on the answer on Apple’s site.

The problem centers around if you had your computer in another timezone
and then moved to another timezone and created a calendar then tried to
publish it. Sometimes the old timezone gets stuck. This causes
issues when you try to publish to .Mac as it reports the wrong timezone
when you view it.

You can find Apple’s Answer here.

Geek Girls and Geek Parties

Filed under: tagme — @ 1:33 pm

Seems some girl geek tried going to a huge LAN party in Norway and managed to
get nabbed by the T&A cam that some of the folk were panning around.


od dam assvipes made a movie , of a closeup of all the girls here, a closeup of their tits and ass. not tjheir brains. I hate the world they make. And i hate the fact that sex is in the end all that seams to count.

*shakes head* rude.. quite rude (of the guys).

But turning the tables around any of you guys ever try walking into
a large gathering for some activity that is predominantly a female
type hobby? I have no idea what the heck happens then.

KFC Indonesia

Filed under: tagme — @ 8:05 am

Oh… my…

KFC has a Indonesian website. The design is wacky and all in
flash so you will have to visit it yourself if you want to see it.
I don’t think words can describe my amazement that such a thing
exists.

JWZ beats up Design Patterns

Filed under: tagme — @ 11:03 am

This is just hilarious:

I just read
Understanding Object Oriented Programming
and it’s a hoot –


Every if and every switch should be viewed as a lost opportunity for
dynamic polymorphism.

If you get the chance I suggest you read all the comments people made to JWZ on
this topic. This comment is an absolute classic:


You know, when you have a program that does something really cool, and you wrote it from scratch, and it took a significant part of your life, you grow fond of it. When it’s finished, it feels like some kind of amorphous sculpture that you’ve created. It has an abstract shape in your head that’s completely independent of its actual purpose. Elegant, simple, beautiful.

Then, only a year later, after making dozens of pragmatic alterations to suit the people who use it, not only has your Venus-de-Milo lost both arms, she also has a giraffe’s head sticking out of her chest and a cherubic penis that squirts colored water into a plastic bucket. The romance has become so painful that each day you struggle with an overwhelming urge to smash the fucking thing to pieces with a hammer.
