How would a real London Underground map look like?

Flash Underground map: compare the shape of the original 1933 map, the 2003 map, and one showing how the lines actually run ("geographically correct", perhaps, in analogy to "anatomically correct").

You know you've been hacking Perl for too long…

…when you're programming C and call a function that takes no parameters and forget the parentheses.

I had code something like mystream << myObject->GetAttribute; and the compiler complained that it didn't know what to do with this and asked me which overridden << operator it should use… of course, the one taking an tAttribute as its second argument!

Then I saw what was wrong and added the parentheses in GetAttribute(). Oopsie.

Going through old requests of mine

I've just been going through the support requests I've submitted through the nifty LJ Support Office (thanks to asciident and supersat for resurrecting it).

It was interesting to see the internal comments on some of the requests which I hadn't seen before since I didn't have the privileges. I was also happy to see that I nearly always thanked the person who answered me. I like being able to say that IMO I've always been a fairly polite requestor.
