Status: My work performance is still declining and near zero now. I stared at the screen with blanked mind for the whole day, unable to write a single line of code related to work.
I suspect that I'm getting another round of burnout like what had been 13 years ago.

I have mine set to droplet-low, which my father claims sounds like a dog bark (I think my fam's insane TBH).
Are they barking mad?
No, I leave that up to my stupid bitch. I still love her though.

@Tsaukpaetra I actually wanted 'sickandtired' originally but that email address was already taken.
Huh, I was certain it was a very obtuse Pink Floyd reference.

What the hell does this mean, LinkedIn?
Does someone need to type all these into computer manually? Did they fall to the bottom of your filing cabinet? Do I need to call and yell at someone over the phone?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

@cartman82 LinkedIn are amateurs at what they do in so many respects. They don't even follow their own API correctly.

My boss complained I took a few naps on the desk.

Status: Every single car in the lot this morning was soaking wet, except mine. Maybe I should change my name to Gideon?

@fbmac
E_UNCLEAR_STATEMENTHe's upset because you took the naps? Or since he's upset you figured you'd take the naps?
-
@izzion Let me FTFY
My boss complained so I deleted him and after that I took a few naps on the desk.
There you go.
-
@izzion Not sure, he said people are likely to mock me and I should do it in the staff room. He said it's not a big deal, but he brought it up, so I take it as a complain.

I think I may have contributed to a new YouTube feature. A while back, the cookies on one of my accounts were enrolled to some AB testing trial where the "WATCHED" overlay was replaced with a red bar at the bottom of the thumbnail indicating how much of the video had been watched, but this meant you could no longer Ctrl+F "WATCHED" to find a watched video. So, I used the submit feedback feature and explained that I appreciated the increase in information but didn't like that the watched videos didn't stand out enough and couldn't be Ctrl+F'd.
Now, everywhere, it seems they have launched both features in conjunction - you get the red progress bar along with the WATCHED overlay. Hooray! Something I said may have actually been read by a human! Of course they could have been planning to do that themselves without my feedback, but I like to think I helped.
Example:
If you didn't finish watching the video, the red bar shows how much you had watched.

actually i find that it's more like "you don't finish the video it shows about 25% watched, even if you left the 40 mintue video when the end credits started rolling. (<30 seconds left)"

Yeah, I'd like a button to mark "unfinished"videos as come so I can move on with my playlists...

I haven't seen this yet. How much does it show if you quit after the first 30 seconds? "Nope. Not interested." I have a lot of those in my history. It would be nice if YT could figure out that I didn't actually watch them, instead of suggesting more like them because I "watched" them.

Maybe they tripped some sort of spam/bot filter (by adding too many connections in a short period of time?) so it's added waiting period for them. Kinda odd that it'd tell you about the incoming connection right away, and let you accept it, though. Maybe the idea is that during the waiting period, people will view the profile and report them for being a spammer if they are one.

actually you nap in a conference room, that you've booked ahead of time.
you choose the smallest conference you can that is more or less on the other side of the office from your desk in the direction away from your bosses office.
that's where you nap.

Set up a phone-in number that dials into a box you control.
Have it play back a mildly distorted conversation.
Anyone who walks by will be like "Whoa, better not go in there, I can hear @accalia is on the phone with some clients."
DOUBLE BONUS POINTS:
The end of the recording should be an alarm clock sound.

I'd like that too. For now though, you can remove the video from your watch history and you can also hide recommendations in the sidebar (and sometimes it gives you the option to "Tell us why" which is just 3 checkboxes of reasons you're not interested).

With the scarcity we have on conference rooms, I'm more likely to get shit for misusing them than from naping.

well, yes, but if you have the key and lock the door they'll need to use one of the conference rooms for that

What's wrong with the good, old copy room?
-
@LB_ I was working on a site that did that, but I would have to pay a fuck ton to google in API fees. It isn't difficult to do. I have a working prototype in my bitbucket.
I don't think you can make enough in ads to cover it IMO.

What? I don't understand what you're talking about. The features I mentioned are built-in to YouTube already.

Status: Ecstatic: I just found out that setting the mouse cursor to lower-bit greatly enhances Citrix responsiveness!
It's not, actually (the cursor is still indeed lagging behind), but on screen it looks normal now!
Unfortunately, there are no low-bit cursors for Standard anymore, so this is my mouse cursor scheme for that connection!

Status: Reactive Drop is #9 on Greenlight (out of 2063), but we have about three quarters of the average unique visitor count of a game in the top 50 even though we have more favorites (both current and total unique), more followers, more votes on the question "would you play this game if it were on Steam" (less "no" votes, though)...
Here's a graph of cumulative "yes" votes per day for the first 30 days of being on Greenlight:
