Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas.

The 12 Bugs of Christmas
For the twelfth bug of Christmas, my manager said to me:

Tell them it’s a feature!
Say it’s not supported!
Change the documentation!
Blame it on the hardware!
Find a way around it!
Say they need an upgrade!
Reinstall the software!
Ask for a dump!
Run with the debugger!
Try to reproduce it!
Ask them how they did it! and
See if they can do it agaaaain!

Which brands would you call the police for if snaffled away from you by a family member?  What toys did you have taken away when you were a wee person? Mine was a teddy bear.

Politically incorrect but funny!  From XKcD.com Traditional media will make fun of this intense discussion but remember, it’s human nature to talk about something that is newsworthy – so mainstream media should be offering tools to do that better, not dissing it, right? I started a SocialMediaFlu hashtag (#socialmediaflu) on Twitter – there were zero instances when I started at 3:13pm Sydney time, let’s see where it goes. (Answer: lasted 19 minutes) <!– ckey=”197A691C” –>

Merry Christmas my poppets. Hopefully in the new year, a new blog, but we’ll see Ho Ho Ho. Notice that it’s not a real Facebook page – it’s reverse chronology to what it should be. I’m pretty sure it’s from CollegeHumor. Probably APC Magazines nicked it, unattributed, a few weeks later. Um aaaah. I’m telling! Anyway, Merry Christmas – and I’m looking forward to seeing what you got me, for a gift. Heh. Funny how Facebook is so much part of our culture now, isn’t it?

I’ve been having problems with Twitter being broken today:*shakes nervously* The death of a social network is so much more painful than the death of a Web 1.0 brochure site, no matter how pretty said brochure site may be.

Mick from Tangler and I were on Skype – he bet me I wouldn’t know where his surname was from. I’m not stupid, so I took the bet (a naked moonwalk on Seesmic video serving site) and promptly Googled his surname. He said it wasn’t fair. I smacked him for being a crybaby:Some random woman’s video response tadaaa! Lesson to be learnt: don’t take bets with SilkCharm. She always wins. And always cheats. Please DIGG it if you liked it – Mick might dance for you too! Technorati Tags: social networks, Seesmic, Mick Liubinskas, moonwalk, humor
