This year I made a kinda funny resolution - I want to know more about chocolate! I love it! We decided that this year, to celebrate my birthday, we would have a chocolate tasting at our place.
So we had a few people over, and about 10 types of good dark chocolate and 10 types of milk chocolate. We had a chocolate and white chocolate fondue, and a giant 4 foot chocolate sculpture of an eagle. Actually, no, there was no eagle. But there was certainly a TON of chocolate.
It was fun, everyone had a good time, and we woke up with chocolate hangovers.
Thanks for coming everyone!

Yes! I'm MANAGER You Too!
Oh man, this was funny. I picked up some computer components, and there was a bonus package containing a keyboard, mouse and speakers.
Includes gems like:
You are a Manager & our products is your best assistant. A totally new idea of....
Use [keyboard] your emotion will be like a runner.
With [mouse] Original surfing is between your finger...
And the ultimate:
Yes! I'm MANAGER You Too!
No, I'm certainly not concerned about the quality of the components... *grin*

Replacement icon for Cygwin
OK, this is definitely for techies.
I use Cygwin on my Windows desktop to allow my to run all sorts of UNIX scripts. It's awesome.
Problem is, I don't really like the default icon that comes with it. A guy named August Mayer created a new one, but I always have to trouble finding it.
So here it is. Download and rename the file to cygwings.ico. You can also get it here.
Sorry to bore the rest of you!

Conditional Code Segments and JavaScript
...it was bound to happen, I'm writing a technology-related post...
Conditional coding is the backbone of all programming - but the manner in which you code a conditional statement can vary drastically, especially depending on it's application.
Traditionally, IF statements are used. IF statements are, by nature, simple, but of course any programming task can grow out of control easily. Thus, SWITCH blocks and CASE statements come in. But these are all topics that have been thrown around for years, in most every programming language in existence.
Additionally, the inline conditional values in JavaScript add much needed functionality. Assigning a value with an IF statement is lathargic, but assigning a value purely using brackets, with a question mark to dictate the TRUE condition, and a colon to dictate the FALSE condition. Even these have been around for a while.
Just recently, I found a new method to approach conditional assignments/function calls. In the form of:
[Conditional Expression]&&([Command [, Command...]])[||([Command [, Command...]])]
The conditional expression can be most anything that you would put in an IF statement, but the entire syntax after that is completely different. Using two ampersands, you can specify multiple expressions to be evaluated for the TRUE condition. The set of commands should reside within two brackets, and each command seperated by a comma.
The FALSE condition is dignified using double pipes. Following that, as with the TRUE condition, you can specify multiple commands to be executed when the conditional expression is FALSE. Again, these commands should reside within two brackets, and each command seperated by a comma.
In example, try the following:
bVal && (str = "The boolean value was TRUE", document.write(str))||(str = "The boolean value was FALSE",document.write(str));
If bVal was a BOOLEAN and set to TRUE, the string "The boolean value was TRUE" would be assigned to a variable and that variable would get printed to the document. Otherwise, the string "The boolean value was FALSE" would be assigned to a variable and that variable would get printed to the document.
This concept basically combines both the traditional IF statement as well as the conditional value statements.
