Welcome!
Why a new blog?
I talk about the reasons behind the shift here. This blog is a continuation of my Technet blog. I will no longer be posting on Technet. I will port the posts over someday when migration is simpler and/or when I have time to spare.
What's the title all about?
It all started when I used some sayings in a conversation with my team mates, David, Shawn and Ted which exploited the relative lack of mental capabilities in donkeys that prevented them from taking advantage of certain situations that otherwise normal people endowed with reasonable intelligence would have no trouble with. Ted decided to immortalize the proverbial donkey by using it as a metasyntactic variable name in our team conversations. It is now commonplace in our team and has taken over the traditional computer science foo and bar variable names. Hope you will use it too to make things more interesting.
