Well, I just played a video game for half an hour and found out something interesting… I didn’t like it! I spent bunch of time trying to build a character only to be killed in an instant. Wow. What a complete waste of time. Of course, I always knew video games were a complete waste of time, but now that time is especially precious to me… it’s a real waste of time. I’m finding that I really have no more desire to play any sort of video game. I used to be a hardcore gamer. What happened? I guess I just grew up or something.
And I’m listening to more classical music.
Man, when you hit 30… it’s all over (ha ha - I know, it’s just beginning).

By day, I’m a middleware developer (software that connects software), and I have an RSS news subscription to IBM’s Websphere MQ update news site. Basically, it’s a news feed that announces fixes and updates to their messaging queuing software (formally called MQSeries). Here’s the title to one of the updates today:
SE10763: MQM400-MSGAMQ5615 STRMQM FAILS WITH AMQ5615 AFTER AMQZXMA0 FAILS MCH0601 IN FUNCTION RFXADDCLQMGR
Um, yea… did you get that? It’s pretty much like that every day. Several times a day.
That just cracks me up. Of course, it worries me a bit that I actually understand most of what that’s saying. However, I’m finding that I have to gloss over the 20+ announcements I get each day from this that site since I can hardly read the headlines. Didn’t IBM get the memo on typing in all caps??
I guess this is IBM, the “Lord of the Acronyms.”
