i ran Daughter Number 1 into her work again this morning and decided I had earned myself a mug of tea and a chance to catch up on some blogs.
Got a Gelaskin for my MacBook Pro, to hide the Apple shame. The design is from eboy (http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/).

The box on the left is the shipping box for the new Macbook Pro. The one on the right is the 2003 iBook G4 box for comparison. The iBook's logic board does not work anymore; probably will recycle or sell for it parts.
I happened to have my work MBP and my home MBP together when I bought the newest MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
Sitting them side by side, the screen resolution and brightness are remarkably different, even to these old eyes. That said, they are all amazing machines.

So, in the book of Genesis, after God creates the heavens and the earth, he takes all of the creatures of the earth and he shows them to man so that man can name the creatures of the earth.
The interpretation I've always learned is that the bible's trying to communicate that man has a power over the animals, because naming something implies that you have power over it. So God named us, and we named the animals.
Oh, and while we're on the subject I tend not to consider every single word of the bible as a literal truth. I mean, Genesis also spends a lot of time describing the earth as flat. It's pretty hard to consider the earth flat, no? Meanwhile, the Catholic church has come up with an interesting philosophy to follow: In the contention between science and religion, the facts produced by science should not require God to be a deceiver. In other words, Occam's razor. It makes much more sense for the earth to be billions of years old and the bible's a little figurative than trying to go on about the universe being a few thousand years old where God planted a bunch of false evidence just to trick us.
Sorry. Just had to throw my defense that not all Christians are against evolution there.
The main point of the pic is the shell script about to be run -- Release Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.
Things must have names... and by giving my piece of software that I've written just about everything but a few pieces of monitoring code a name implies my power and ownership over it.
The general pattern is to have the first character of the company name as the first word in your acronym. Which is really unbelievably lame. So I like giving things fun names.
Like "Hank". We came up with an acronym that spells HADD so that the official documentation doesn't delve into Howard Stern. And, it really does make sense why you'd call it Hank... in a weird Wirehead sort of way.
But, either way, even though *you* probably won't notice how the site I maintain works post-Hank, we will.
I'm quite proud of this little piece of software. And an engineer's pride is worth more than gold. Without software shipped (or bridges built or jet fighters flying or power plants generating) all the money in the world isn't going to make an engineer happy. So I'm happy to be adding my own little deviant fingerprint on the years and years of software accumulation.
Working on a Sunday. After working on Saturday. Blech. I want to get all my work done by Wednesday at the latest so that I have time for all the last minute things I'll need to do before we leave on Friday.
This MacBook Pro has a ton of stickers on it. Looks like somebody's got a lot to say. Thanks to TechVert technology blog for the tip.
