You know what I'm giving up my Thursday night to see tomorrow? A demo of bug-tracking software! How do I feel about this? I am actually very excited!
Joel Spolsky of JoelOnSoftware.com and Fog Creek fame is going to be in town demoing FogBugz, and I am going to be there. That's right, I'm hanging with the bigwigs. So everyone there knows I'm a man of some importance, I've already packed a monocle, a powdered wig, and a burly, working-class type that I can periodically hit with a buggy whip.
I've been reading Joel's site for several years now, so this ought to be very cool, assuming my buggy whip doesn't get confiscated.
I'm still working my way through season 1 of The Wire, and I feel competent enough to build a case around a major drug dealer. I know the lingo. I know how to take the pictures of the bad guys. I know how to dress. I know how to interrogate. Most importantly, I know how to yell at my supervisor when he's cheezing my case up.
I think that Omar is the most interesting character so far. In fact, I think he's so interesting that I've really thought about going as Omar for Halloween. Only two things are stopping me from doing this. First, no one would know who I am. Second, in this day and age, I'm pretty sure it's not appropriate to go in black-face any day of the year, even Halloween.
