Ron Burgundy. Man. Myth. Legend. Symbol of San Diego?

Posted by sam, Tue Feb 19 03:17:17 UTC 2008

A while back, I was interviewing for jobs, and a firm called mirRoR Placement gave me a call. They only place Ruby on Rails Jobs. They were pretty helpful, and good to talk to. The one reason I'm blogging about them now is Ron Burgundy. Yes, THE Ron Burgundy.

mirRoR Placement has different logos for jobs in different cities. Chicago gets the Sears Tower, San Francisco gets the Golden Gate bridge, so on and so forth. Then I saw a job their ad for San Diego, and couldn't help laughing my ass off. They chose Ron Burgundy as the logo for San Diego!

Personally, I don't know what I'd use for a logo for San Diego. I'll never be able to think about that city without cracking a smile, thanks to Anchorman.

OH HI, I HELP WIF YOUR FORMATTING

I think I'm starting to get the hang of using Javascript now. I finally managed to preformatted text and code to look like it does when I use Textmate. I'm partial to Vibrant Ink

I CAN HAZ JAVASCRIPTZ

And this is going to be some ruby code.

def lolcat
  puts "I'm in ur textmate, Editing ur code"
end

If you think I'm not making any sense, you're obviously not familiar with the LOLCAT site. Its a complete riot

For comedy: 

class RickJames
  def initialize(args)
    puts "I'm Rick James, Bitch"
  end  
end

Hold up, aren't you supposed to be eating your own dogfood with the new blog system your'e cooking up?

Yes, I am. I was just frustrated by not getting this stylesheet code highlighting to work.

All I needed to do was to go to Dan Webb's website and you'll get everything you need.

You'll need to download his code highlighter plugin, and also maybe the LowPro framework. You know the drill with subversion: 

svn export http://svn.danwebb.net/external/lowpro/ (wherever you put this code)
svn export http://svn.danwebb.net/external/CodeHighlighter/trunk/ (wherever you put this code)

You do not need to go and install any of the code macros or filtered stuff that mephisto requires.

Also, earlier I was going to port blog pinging and other stuff to Fullerton. Well, I just signed up for Feedburner, so I managed to abstract away some of the work I need to do on my new blog.
