Caffeinated Coder

I’m getting ready for a quiet New Year’s Eve at home with the family. This will be the first one in recent memory where I may actually remember what happened the next morning.

1. Create Your Own Motivator Poster – I’m a big fan of the humorous anti-motivational posters that you can find on places like despair.com, so I was thrilled to discover a site that allowed you to design your own. I pulled the SRS example shown to the side from an elegant code post by Jarod Ferguson.
2. Ten Things to Retire in 2009 – Jimmy Bogard kicks off the retrospective post season right with his round-up of annoying developer trends from 2008 that he would like to see disappear in the new year. My personal favorite is LINQ 2 Your Mom (#5) where he bemoans some of the LINQ abominations that have recently surfaced. Mom jokes (not the nice kind) are staple where I work and I nearly spit out my coffee laughing when I read it.
3. SSL Spoofing Now Possible…. RUN FOR THE HILLS! – A great explanation of how SSL spoofing works, what can be done about it, and whether or not we should be concerned. The short answer is…probably not.
