Came across this blog [^] by Steve Yegge recently and thought I'd share it. It describes very clearly the mind-shift that is needed to move from a language such as Java (where nouns are king) to a language such as Javascript (where verbs are king). A great piece of writing.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

No, King is a noun.

That's awesome. 
I've been using Quartz.net scheduler recently and the .Net version was essentially ported from the Java version of Quartz. But whoever wrote it in .Net tried to keep the same structure as the Java version. This link you have explains to me why Quartz.net was so hard to use. I would look for a property on an object using Intellisense (the best way to learn sometimes) and could not find it. I'd have to google every time to find the helper class that you have to use to set a property.
To me, Quartz.net is very dificult to learn and use and does not make much sense. But at least this story explains why. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

And what about Kong?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If I post a paragraph of random words with the CP url in them will Chris pay me money?
There must be someone willing to pay, I can't see all these "new" members doing it for fun

You have lost me. I don't understand a bluddy word of this thread. Maybe I should stop trying to find logic here? Or maybe I'm too much of a Sunshining elephant?

Have you tried looking for yourself down the back of the sofa? It is where I usually find things I have lost

So I was reading about magnetic and clip based add-on lens for LG Nexus 5 and found a few. There were issues mentioned like delays in focus and not being a true fish eye lens. I understand these things can never replace a proper camera but I still want to get one.
Does anyone here uses such add-on lens? Any recommendations? (Cheaper the better)

Loads of clip-on lenses here[^], but camera specs might as well be in a different language, for me; I don't have a clue what's good or not good.

Just ordered on for USD 7.77. It is really cheap so not really sure about quality. But who doesn't like new toys?
And they are shipping it to South Africa for free!

Unbelievable, isn't it?
What happens is that everyone on the way adds 60% (because they deserve much more profit than the guys who do all the work, obviously), and it ends up in the shops for USD50+.
It's not the fastest delivery service, though. I had to wait over a month for one of the items I ordered from there.
