If you’re a software developer, this is hilarious. The rest of you can go read lolcats or something.

Bye bye baby
I’ve accepted a down payment on the Skerray, which means I need to get in touch with Frank as soon as he’s back in town to buy the Looksha. I’m going to miss the old boat, because it was everything I needed from a kayak except fast. I’d also better get back to finishing the Arctic Tern so I have something for casual paddling.
In less exciting news, I turned down the job offer from Paychex because they would only give me 2 weeks paid vacation.

Paul T After the finish (cropped)Stack Overflow not counting XP?
Is it just me, or is Stack Overflow no longer updating the count of how many reputation points you have? Mine hasn’t gone up in the last four hours, even though I’ve gotten two “Nice Answer” badges in that time. Just for an experiment, I tried voting up a couple of answers by Kris Johnson, and his count didn’t go up either.
Update It appears that it’s stopped giving me more XP because I’ve already gotten 200 on the day. And the fact that I’ve been averaging fewer than 50 a day since last Friday, when I’d been up over 100 a day before that, doesn’t mean I can accumulate more. Damn level caps.
Update Today on StackOverflow, as well as hitting my XP cap, I earned 4 “Nice Answer” bronze badges, a silver “Enlightened” and a silver “Good Answer”. Today I was on fire.
Selling my baby
I know it’s the wrong time of the year, but I really want that Looksha, so I’m selling my good old Skerray.

You know, I love that boat. It’s been really good for me. But I’ve out grown it.
