Could The Unemployed Give House Prices Cancer?

The Daily Mail head line generator vears between the hilarious, and the scarily real.

It reminded me of Wikipedia's perfect Daily Express front page.

Anti-patterns

There was a bit of a Anti-Patterns discussion at work today. The article is a big list of bad software development practices, with amusing names. Like "Continuous obsolescence", "God object", and "Reinventing the square wheel". The conversation was of the "How many of these do we do?" sort.

The polar opposite of which is The Joel Test. A list of good practices for a software house. I won't tell you what we scored, but we probably hit a higher percentage of the anti-practices.

I was in danger of getting a bit serious there. Quick read the list of E-mail Addresses It Would Be Really Annoying to Give Out Over the Phone out loud.

Seen at the Librarything Thingology thingie.

Best use of sacrasm in a blog / diary goes to frandowdsofa for "We appear to have run out of celebrities."

One more linkdump “Limp biscuit” redirects here. For the band, see Limp Bizkit. Hahaha! NSFW.
