@izzion left early today, the day of the demo
Did you leave 6 hours early though?
If it was me, I'd get to claim the 6 hours overtime (either as pay at 1.5x, or as addtional time off) and get to leave early.
1.5x is only for weekends and bank holidays, but I do get the extra 6 hours

@Jaloopa said in The Official Status Thread:
weekends
2x
@Jaloopa said in The Official Status Thread:
bank holidays
3x (but is likely only as a result of being on call)

you should like all your changes to remember them

Status: God damn, order 6 storage containers and 2 lids are broken (1 literally shattered) right out of the box. I can't catch a break with boxing up my stuff which is more of a pain right now because I can't find something I need to mail out tomorrow under all of this crap.
Also my UI complaint thread is alternating between
and because reasons. The first is a really stupid error message because it has fuck all to do with my internet connection.

Status: USB still sucks for reliable long-term data transfer or stability on ZFS.
Apparently, I can't get the "list of errors" it mentions, because, natch, IO is suspended and somehow that prevents the in-memory account of brokenness to be displayed.
The recommended fix for this is " made sure the affected devices are connected, run 'zpool clear' to allow write I/O to the pool again". I did so and that's why all of the sudden the entire thing is now
UNAVAIL
.Only resolution is a reboot.

Status: Fuck, I'm detecting that mental state that indicates I won't be able to actually get to sleep for another five hours. Dammit.

@Zenith Um, if AVG blocked the connection to this site, then the error message is very much on point.
-
@Rhywden How can a site that I can't connect to put up a custom error message telling me I can't connect to it? It's like knocking on a door and somebody inside says "nobody's home."

The javascript is already loaded. The web socket was disconnected/can't reconnect.

Plot twist: turns out they're actually styrofoam apples, used for decoration.

Holy shit I forgot Themes were a thing, and that Windows used to make sounds when you did things like open sub-menus and start the computer!

Status: So since stepsister got a laptop for christmas, she's abandoned the PC I gave her a few years ago that she claims never worked.
It works perfectly fine. Perhaps the monitor is being stupid, bbut the only thing I can see being needlessly difficult is that spinning rust inside it.
Doing a test, it's maxing out at 75 MB/s and dipping lower as it gets further inward (naturally).
Sounds like a cheap-o SSD is on the table...
Edit: Somehow, reading is actually slower than writing! In the area it was writing 75 MB/s it is reading at 35 MB/s!
Edit Edit: Oh, that might be because Windows freaked out once there was only 1.2 GB of space left on the drive and started trying to find stuff to cull.

I rest my case.
Anyway, relatives are just about the worst people to try fixing stuff for. They don't pay and in addition to usual thankless "yer sposed ta be gud at dis" you get "ye spend too much time in yer room".

@Applied-Mediocrity donโt forget you touched it last, so you broke it.

@Applied-Mediocrity by @Tsaukpaetra hardware standards, that is perfectly fine. Certainly well above average.

Status: More fun with mail.
Penney's decided to use UPS SmartPost this time. I was out working Saturday, so I got a "sorry we missed you" e-mail. Next delivery date? Next Saturday. Check the tracking number and it's sitting at the post office two miles away.
Also, I had a weird nightmare (I hope). I was watching a Voyager episode with a "mystery/hallucination" cold open in my office. I thought I saw somebody just inside my front door wearing a black hoodie (couldn't see their face). I got up to yell at them, they went back out the door, and vanished. I looked around and nothing seemed to be missing but I was too spooked to go back to sleep so work was a little rough.
Edit: It just occurred to me that it could've been Death.

status Eets Aliiiive!!!
Next time: Have my coffee first.Now to move the VMs...
Update: It Just Worked. (In Hyper-V, r-click on the VM, select Move, go thru the wizard selecting move-everything. And it did.) The only thing left behind is empty directories. Not even a hidden file! I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell ya!Update2: Huh. It left 29G behind on one of the VMs. Since those files haven't been touched since Mar 3 2018, I'm thinking they were somehow orphaned. Plus all the critical snapshots of the VM all spun up nicely...

Playing in the snow rather than read people argue about whether or not Jeff or Lauren are in the correct and making me sad by how many people echo Jeff's sentiment.

Status: I might be trunky. I've now packed basically one whole room. And the house isn't even going on the market for a couple months. And I'm not leaving until Memorial Day at the very earliest...
As a note, @Vixen, that gif is really really disturbing when that's all I saw above the composer as I was writing this post.

Status: the soap dispenser in the shower was damaged by younger brother. Two weeks ago. It has not been replaced.
Instead, the raw soap bottle has been extricated and shoved into service.
Now that I'm unable to use the recommended measured amounts and get a gob of soap to use, I have discovered it is scented.
I have discovered I hate the scent provided by this product :
"smells great", my ass!

Reversi?

@Vixen ever since I updated iOS, things autoplay now. I hate it.
However, out of all the things that could possibly autoplay, that was by far the best.

It's weird playing a 2007 game in 4k with 16x MSAA etc. It's still low poly with janky animations, Somehow it looks simultaneously beautiful and terrible.
