So Jason gets a new job, and I have to hear about it from his blog. Bah.
Since I’m already elbows-deep in gnuplot, here’s a graph to explain what’s going on here:
Fig. 1. Cumulative distribution function of friends, co-workers, and acquaintances working at Google, as a function of time.
Update: Chris points out that my data collection has been sloppy, and that the graph above actually represents the function of friends who have gone (or will go) to work at either Google or Apple.
Chère Lazyweb: It’s time to stop keeping research notes on scratch paper (not to be confused with scrap paper) and in my tiny daily Moleskine journal. I’m looking for composition-book suggestions.

This unbelievably badly translated Chinese restaurant menu is perhaps the funniest example of zhonglish I have ever seen.
[What, zhonglish isn’t a word yet? Well, it is now: zhong (”middle”, from zhongwen / 中文, the name of written Chinese) + -glish (from English, common affix for “bad English translation” neologisms).]
I wasn’t quick enough to catch this with my camera, but Regan was.
If you print it up, credit Matt Haynie, who was giving me London advice:
MH: yeah, don’t buy anything you don’t have to while you’re over there
MH: NOTHING IS WORTH IT
Someone out there has developed a crawler that attacks Trac wiki pages. Once it’s found a Trac installation, it posts an update to the WikiStart and TracIni pages. The new version appends a number of links, hidden from view using Trac’s syntax to allow arbitrary HTML:
{{{
#!html
<u style="display:none">
...nasty links...
</u>
}}}I’ve been hit over at the FeedTree trac a few times; it’s infrequent enough that periodic checking of the timeline view is sufficient to spot and clean out the crud.
(I guess you know your software has “made it” when someone else writes a piece of software specifically to attack it.)
