I ran around Central Park in the snow today!

I've never really walked through Central Park before, except as a means to cross town to get to a museum. There are all kinds of little spots in the place that I never knew existed -- Alice in Wonderland, Belvedere Castle, Balto the Sled Dog -- they were fun to find!

Here's a short slideshow of some pictures I took today. Enjoy!

Babies are cropping up everywhere. :) Sharon just had one. Another friend from high school, Maryellen, is about to have her THIRD. And other friends are planning their pregnancies as we speak.

: pause :

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, EVERYONE'S PREGNANT! :) Uh, except me. That would be bad. Um...yes. :D

To celebrate, everyone sing the "Wheeeee" song!"

...buy expensive ad space, try to look cool, and get others to promote your campaign in blogs. That "two-headed dog" campaign is really for MTV2.

Woof.

Work story: Meeting today -- we're working on a content management tool (CMT) with the CMT vendor. As part of the tool, you can upload images to use on your Web site. I've been part of other CMT implementations before, and had noted that with this version, you could overwrite (replace) an image with the same filename without any warnings. Someone who wasn't paying attention could find themselves with an image that was completely wrong throughout the site, because they replaced an old image with a new.

Me: "So I see that this section allows you to overwrite the images, and there's no error message..."

Vendor: "Yup. But we're swapping that out and using the other upload tool, which will give error messages."

Me: "Oh, GOOD. Something like, 'Dude, you're so overwriting this file, don't do it!'"

Colleague: "See, Roe's error messages aren't just error messages, they're error messages with attitude."
