Sorry babe. That’s life. Most people identify with Scribbles the Chihuahua more than PaaS. I sure do!

New Year Resolutions

Our friend has natural Billy Mays-like powers for beard growing and he mentioned that he is under some playful pressure to grow it out. Randall has burst with beard envy twice now. The beard will need a name.
Tech Support
Image
I learned all about pings when I first took a networking class in high school to be near my then-crush (now husband). I like to show off that I know what a ping is but it doesn’t necessarily help in certain situations…. like when the internet crapped out at work and tech support said it was fine.
Nightmares

Randall claims that he programs in his dreams and I’ve heard that other programmers do too. I hear him mumbling commands in his sleep until he wakes up super excited to code! On the other hand, I can recall some of his bad dreams where he will yelp about zombies or installing servers. I suppose those two are equally bad. Poor thing.
My First Time
Image
It was exhilarating when I got to call India for the first time! Everything seemed outdated at my first internship. The official company-assigned emails were administered through Microsoft Outlook, and nobody knew what was going on or cared much about the big picture. That’s where I learned that most people hate their jobs and are miserable yet content enough. You can imagine how enthralled I was when I could call India on speed dial and they instantly listened AND helped me! My new Indian contact was halfway around the world and I knew immediately that we had the potential to be best friends! We could be spending hours and hours exchanging cultural stories! But no, my Indian guide with a computer-generated, American name wouldn’t spend anymore time with me unless it was purely for tech support. It was just like being at home with Randall when he’s focused on something. And I was alone again. Emo, I know.
Raspberry Pie
Image
Recently, our friend was bragging about his new raspberry pi while on the phone with Randall. Poor Randall was very jealous. I know how much he loves all kind of berries and pies, although I’ve never seen him have a slice of raspberry pie. I, relying on my wifey skills, offered to bake him one. I felt like I could solve this problem! That’s when he told me it had nothing to do with my baking potential or scope of knowledge. Apparently, a raspberry pi is a new kind of tiny programmable computer that only costs like 35$. I felt stupid because this happens when he talks about Tastypie too.
Church

I’m going to church tonight with my in laws and my love, who taught me all about “his Holiness”, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I’m sure that’s what he’ll be pondering about at tonights service.
Optimization

I just realized there’s no point in hiding my weight from him since he can just go online and analyze it. I really should cut back on the holiday feasting.
Shopping
Image
Today we’re going out of town to do some holiday shopping for my husbands family. If there’s an Apple store at the mall, then I’ll literally have to talk Randall out of waltzing in there and quizzing the associates about the history, hardware, and sourcecode of just about anything computer related. It’s the only time he scoffs at people.
Sassypants

My sassy Lovebug said that to me! What a clever little brat. Still doesn’t pick his underwear up off the floor, nope!
W.o.W.

My Honeybuns and I are very different, so this concern of Randall’s comes up at times. In desperation to assure him we will always have something to enjoy together, I have offered to join a guild(World of Warcraft). I like computer games where as Randall can become ultimately consumed in them. Therefore, out of our own safety and sanity, we haven’t joined a guild yet. He says his Ubuntu operating system would also be an obstacle to accessing the game; this is the main reason I appreciate Ubuntu. 😀 I’m sure it saves marriages.
