I was "greeted" by a fellow New Yorker yesterday

posted Sat 21 Oct 06

So, its Friday afternoon and pretty much every New Yorker is trying to get outta town. One way out of town is Pennsylvania Station which is serviced by the Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and Long Island Railroad trains. So I'm headed down the stairs and I hear someone behind me say,

"Fat Pig!"

So I turn around, wondering who might've said it and why, and I get,

"Yeah you! [censored] fat pig. [censored] your [family member], you [censored] fat [censored]!"

I wonder what could possibly make an ordinarily mild-mannered, polite woman say something like that to me?

Recently, I've been pretty distrressed over the fact that the .NET Framework 3.0 isn't really 3.0, its more like a bunch of really powerful stuff added on top of the .NET 2.0 CLR. They took away a name that rolled off the tongue (WinFX) and replaced it with something that doesn't. Everyone gets confused as to whether you need .NET 2.0 to run .NET 3.0 (yes, you do). I'm guessing this is what had the lady on the stairs in Penn Station so upset as well.

Take comfort - maybe .NET 3.5 will actually use a 3.5 CLR.
