Wear It In Shame
Boy, does BD00 have a treat for you. Here’s the dealio.
Post a comment here with your assessment of this blog. Good or bad? What is BD00 doing right? What is BD00 doing wrong? Does BD00 piss you off? Does BD00 make you laugh? A bit of both? How could BD00 improve the content? What else would you like to say to BD00?
The writers of the first 2 “substantive” comments that BD00 receives will get a gratis copy of the notoriously famous “Cog Diss” T-shirt to wear in shame:
- BD00 reserves the right to decide what “substantive” means.
- Sorry, but the only size BD00 has in stock is XL
- Hey Phil, did you notice that BD00 used your clipart in the design?
- Don’t feel that you have to give a rave review and kiss ass. If you feel the need to “substantively” rip BD00 a new one, then by all means do it.
- You can buy this shirt yourself (without the self-promotional back design) at cafepress.com/thefrontalassaultidiot.

I would simply like to say that I thoroughly enjoy your daily morning assessments of the world around you, particularly the items relating to creativity BORG’s and the daily grind of production we all experience.
I find your dissertations on programming somewhat cryptic, particularly since the only real programming I ever learned was BASIC and FORTRAN many many many years ago. (I still recall my CS11 professor describing parenthesis brackets and how the computer is a little bear marching along the line of code–each bracket sends that poor little guy back the previous direction, until he hits a bracket of the opposite facing, that shoots him back on his merry way.) Code makes me shudder now thinking about that poor bear and his endless journey.
I tip my dirty martini in your direction!
Judge BD00 has decreed that your comment has “substance”. Unless you changed your identity and/or your place of residence, I still have your address in NC. Is it still correct?
When you get the shame shirt, could you do me a favor? Take a pic of yourself wearing it and post it? You can put a bag on your head if you want to remain anonymous 🙂
at least bag-wearing is optional. addy still the same. Thankx BD.
Hi, this is from overseas just to bother if substantive, wanted to opinate in for a while… Found the blog when first interested on SysML, quickly bookmarked it and read all that appears. If I decline the t-shirt I can say more comfortably that I thought, look, a smart guy here (talking about myself… no just kiddin). I do R&D engineering and c++ realtimes and learnt for a couple of tech points here but I laugh more at the pictorial part, It must be a work to make it up, but yes, it is fun, is as fun as real. I like my job and can look to the dog craps with a smile and not bitterness, we are small, just managers atop engineers, and they listen, but yes, its bittersweet to get get illustration on excelency vs schedule and the rest (someone had to say or draw it!). Just go on, there is people interested, you give free quality content and shirts. BTW, your sysml pics with queues and threads are much prettier and expressive than sysml analogues. Go on.
Judge BD00 has decreed that your comment has “substance”. Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful feedback!
