  • I learned it while at the same time learning (or really enhancing my previous knowledge of) javascript, thanks to an insane mostly-Finnish app development platform known as Qt Creator, which for no rational reason uses C++ for the under-hood-stuff and javascript for the UI front end. Just an absolutely horrible mismatch of mental states. For bonus points, the company that I worked for that used this monstrosity for its suite of apps got purchased by a huge west coast company and the apps were shut down and everybody was fired, after two years of my working on this shit.


  • I used to take my cat to an old country horse vet. On one visit she had to get a pill of some sort and I told the vet that my cat hated pills and it wouldn’t be possible to get one down her throat. He said “son, I’ve been a vet for over 50 years and I’ve never had a cat that I couldn’t pill.” He couldn’t get the pill down her throat and had to give her a shot instead. I’ve never been so proud. RIP Martha, miss you girl.
