Yeah, two Daily Show clips in a row, but this is pure gold. Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz grabs the conch and calls it like it is:



"Listen up, Congress: GET THE FUCK BACK TO WORK! (....) For the Jewish holiday for godsakes - how many Jews are even in Congress? Wall Street's open - I guarantee you they got more Jews on Wall Street than in Congress! (...) The Daily Show's on! I'll guarantee you we got more Jews at the Daily Show than Congress! (...) I mean seriously: Utah? You're not coming in for Rosh Hashanah? Wyoming? My rabbi doesn't even have the balls to take two days for Rosh Hashanah. For fuck's sake! And I really hope when you get back you buckle down because before you turn around it'll be Boxing Day, and then Kwanzaa and we'll never get anything done!"

...you've done it again.



Also: COLBERT: The idea that Lehman Brothers doesn't get any money and AIG does reminds me very much of "Iran is a mortal enemy because they have not achieved a nuclear weapon. But North Korea is a country we can work with, because they have a nuclear weapon." The idea is, Get big or go home. How big can you f--- up? Can you f--- up so bad that you would ruin the world economy? If it's just 15,000 who are out of jobs, no. You have to actually be a global f---up to get any help.

  No, I can view you fine from the RCSI library; I meant the Central Library in the Ilac Centre, where they also block SSH (and have a Spanish conversation exchange evening, which is why I was there). I don't have an SSH-over-HTTP-proxy set up anywhere either, hah.

I've modified the script that shows my Google Reader shared items feed to pick up my Youtube favourites too. Obviously it went and got every single one of them on the first load but it should settle down after this. Next stage: make a feed out the two combined feeds.

It's my last week in Paddy Power. I'm moving to a little software company in Newbridge, five minutes from home. I won't miss the commute.

How was my drive this morning?



And why?



Mal and Davida, this puts our rained-out wedding to shame.

  Now is this like those old Photoshop benchmarks they used to trot out for PPC Macs to "prove" that PPCs were more powerful than Intels?

About

This is LeSinge.org v3.0. It's on its sixth* server since I registered the domain name in November of 2000 and it has gone through several drastic facelifts in that time, usually prompted by some cataclysmic event like someone deleting a load of files they shouldn't, or a server being shut down. This is the maddest layout yet; I'm trying to fit the entire weblog (apart from diary archives and the gallery) into a single loading page using all sorts of PHP-generated DHTML jiggery-pokery. The idea is to make it more inviting to look around since there's no loading between "pages". It's still a work in progress (more a proof of concept than anything), so be patient!

I'm Dave Whyte, an Irish CS graduate, German speaker, linguist and incredibly talented web developer. I'm originally from Fermoy but I now live in Newbridge with my wife Beth and our son. I'm currently working for these fine folks and enjoying it greatly.

"The Monkey"? Eh?

My nom de guerre comes from an old Eddie Izzard comedy sketch.
