Status:
The below screenshot represents basically the entirety of my weekend.
Oh well, it looks nice at least. Fucking explosives vendor won't get out of my master suite.
I might move my engineering stuff to the center deck and create the 7 more bedrooms that frees up, I'm not sure how many NPCs exist in the 1.3 patch-- I might already have as many bedrooms as I need.
-
finally started wolfebstein the new order. This game is amazing, straight from the beginning. I once died because the floor freaked out, which isn't surprising considering the Bethesda logo at the start.

A phone defect.

STATUS
Ahh, good old cron reboot. The duct tape of server maintenance.
-
STATUS:
Our frontend guys are sad because they are forced to move to Mac-s, so they can collaborate with the Swedes. It's the network effect working against Microsoft. The end is nigh for Windows as a non-Windows dev platform.

Stopped the crashes, but one case still is behaving wrongly…
Fixed it. It turned out it was a bug from at least 17 years ago, when the particular source repository I'm looking at started (earlier history having been lost in a fucked up move from SCCS to CVS around that time).
This is officially the oldest bug I've ever fixed.
-
Hmm, that is as old as the company I'm working at. So you probably fixed a bug written by the CTO at that time.
This is how I imagine it.
Also some people were smug that they'd finally removed every bit of code by said founder (I can't imagine how they'd have such free time to look up everything he wrote to confirm that). Also this assumes the CVS history wasn't messed up.

Status: Programming would be a lot more convoluted and interesting if function calls responded with "you have not yet attained enlightenment" when called improperly.

Current status (besides the usual tiredness due to too much hanging around in
uselessextremely interesting Internet forums):feeling endarkened
(Partially due to having
volunteered to muck around with VBA)

That's a word belonging to my active vocabulary for about a quarter of a century (so even before I've even encountered the name Pratchett).
(And, actually, no. And, yes, I know that's just plain wrong®.)
-
So you probably fixed a bug written by the CTO at that time.
No, I've got a pretty good idea who wrote the bug; he's not been associated with the code for more than 15 years (since ownership bounced around a bit during the dotcom boom&bust). He was an employee at the time, and continued to be an employee of the company that span out the business that took on the code.
It's all a long time ago in a
galaxyvalley far far away.
-
finally started wolfebstein the new order. This game is amazing,
I could have told you that.
It also, despite being an id game, has probably the best writing of any game last year.
-
Is that an evolved whale in a TRON suit?
-
That image is far less cool than the image your comment made me imagine.
-
-
Instead of multi-thousand pixel tall images of DF screenshots, we now get multiple images, cumulatively multi-thousand pixels tall, of that thing is. No, I don't care it is enough to do a GIS, and I don't care enough for you to tell me. (I'm sure you will anyway, though. Unfortunately.)

Publishing third original book, plus two public domain books I typeset very nicely, for large print readers.

It's a Quaggan from Guild Wars 2.

That was alot of not alots.
-
What is that shit. There was one movie. No TV series. No sequels. No Pokemon.
The movie ended. It had a good ending. Why does Disney shit all over everything great.
-
okay...... but where are the 4-series?
you have the (in order top to bottom left to right) 0-series, 1-series, 5-series, 2-series, 3-series and 6-series listed.
-
What is that shit. There was one movie. No TV series. No sequels. No Pokemon.
You got one thing right.
-
I think this is on the level of 'There is no Tsukihime anime' - no one who likes the source material will ever admit the existence of something that isn't representative at all of it.
-
Or, in a translation for normal people, "too bad they didn't make any Matrix sequels".
-
Better to have and not need than to need and not have, yada yada.
You think like a DiscoDev. Must log all the things.

One of these days, if my business continues growing, one of my employees will post something similar.
Also, they will be right to do so. ;)
-
Yes, for a different subset of normal people than I'm talking about. Or possibly the same ones. I would imagine that people willing to deny reality like that would do it in more than one place.
-
Man, all that Chinese cartoon talk sure gets your knickers in a twist, doesn't it?
-
Um, I suppose? If by that you mean makes me the same as I am the rest of the time. What a sad existence I live...
-

If you type that in here, you'll get an ordered, 1-based, list.

Shirley, you jest!

Apparently it doesn't like Discourse.
There's an implication here which does not compute.
-
but where are the 4-series
Probably omitted for our East-Asian friends, where as I've heard 4 is traditionally considered an unlucky number.
-
Arrrg.
OK, in some sense I'm the WTF here, but in my defense it's not like I typed that out, the ripping software got the name from the CDDB or something. But that error is really obnoxious. OK, what folder is that in? Won't tell me. What about the most useful action to take: copy under another name? No, Windows doesn't give you a good way to do that.
-
I have run in to that one before, and it is super annoying. It usually happens with clients when we upgrade a file server and they have really stretched out hierarchies. In typical Windows fashion, it prefers to just fail instead of giving you options.
-
Real Programmers™ don't listen to classical music, obviously.
I run regularly in something like this when I try to copy all the music into a folder on an external disk. (I have the habit of naming backup folders by date+time which adds a bit of length to the path + filename.)
Workaround:
subst [unused-drive-letter]: "[full-path-to-backup-folder]"

Does that mean there will be a new Terraria Let's Play episode on your YouTube channel soon?
-
STATUS:
Once again, 'tis that special time of the 2-month, when I'm forced to ++ the number at the end of my Outlook password.
-- But cartman, what happens when you reach 9?
-- I change the company, of course.

Status: Bought a large iced tea at DD and forgot it on the counter this morning.
Addendum status: I'm apparently well known enough that when my coworker stopped by for his coffee about an hour later the cashier asked that he deliver my tea to me.
Awesome status: she is getting a hell of an awesome tip next time i see her there.
/me sips her tea
-
Probably not.
Anyway I have no Terraria-playing friends left after logging on to all their worlds and stealing all their titanstone.
-
OMG Ben L:
Acer's gonna destroy your Chromebooks with their Cloudbooks. Running Windows 10.
-
$170
Huh. That's like $20 more than how much my Win8 tablet cost me, and the specs are pretty much exactly the same. Other than, you know, the touchscreen.

Status: Reading Wikipedia while w aiting for unit tests to run.
...No, Wikipedia, I did not know that, nor did I want to know that...
