google announced a new feature today: code search. this is just brilliant for the programmers out there (this includes me, if you don’t know that already) because now we can search the code of sites to find out how other people implemented certain functions that we may want to try.
but the beauty of google is that it can always be used to waste time and get a good laugh.

sorry for the profanity (actually i’m not. i’ve got nothing really against it.) but after clicking on this link, it’ll become apparent just how many coders hate IE (and netscape and sun OS and adobe svg… the list goes on and on.) all i can do is laugh and say, i feel your pain brothers and sisters. thank you for commenting your code.

omg! how did I miss that? awesome.
when I was at the evil empire, we wrote a script to go through all of the exchange code and replace the profanities with other words.

HA – that is really funny, and I’m not even a programmer. Love your Kyoto and bump photo!! Maybe you should just leave the sweater as is until after the baby comes.

I can see that being handy for someone like me who doesn’t know very much code. I can see how others are doing it. Although I’ll probably forget about it when I need it.

You are a braver woman than I – and I vote pattern D

hahahahahha that search made my day. my boyfriend is a bit of a freelance programmer, i can totally see him a) using that function and b) cursing out IE in code.
