But Wikipedia says it's post-gress-queue-ell.
That's how I say it. In my head. (I don't think I've ever said it out loud.)
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't think I ever say it, but the people I've met who actually use the thing say Post-Gress-queue-ell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not a shop with a big open source history, so I think everyone's making these up as they go along. I just want to either be right or minimise the number of blank looks I get. Preferably (a), but (b) is politically useful.

I have never heard post-gree. I use post-gress or post-gress-queue-ell, depending on how fast I want to be done saying it.

Does anyone work with aspect-oriented programming? I'm trying to get an mid-level overview and wikipedia isn't doing it for me. Any suggestions for information sources?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph, my co-worker bought a refurbished iPod Touch on the Apple site and it's working well.
My current iPod (which is a 2nd generation Mini, from back in the dark ages) is a refurb, and I've never had a problem with it.
However, right now every iPod Touch on the refurb site is a 2nd generation, and I'd rather get the 3rd generation, so I may be buying new.
I should be patient and wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
I HATE being patient!

Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS is the best digital camera you can get for $34,000
Your digital camera sucks. At least it does compared to the new Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS. The moter of all DSLRs is insanely expensive at $34,000, but I'm sure it's totally worth it. Maybe?

Coding and Sleeping
I now have an iMac. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but having a Mac around should be fun. Maybe it will become the dedicated scanning and photo editing machine, that seems very Mac-ish.
I didn't buy it, I was given it. It'll free up a PC to give to somebody else.

Our wings are not tired
At this point the iMac is my mainstay machine, even for Windows duties, the latest ones are very well put together machines. I've got 4 of them from 2006 that run flawlessly and still have tons of power even compared to the newest machines that I've got.
