My current hobby project is Mongo. And two contracts ago I wrote production reporting code in Mongo. So you can kiss my ass, slowpoke.

Or, a more recent version with the classic theme enabled because the default XP theme was fucking awful!
XP ain't much better than 2000. Point is, it's something that's been obsolete and unsupported for years.
EDIT: And I'm 99% sure Microsoft never used the term "logon".

Wha, you're still using mongo?
Hahahaahah! That's so 2013, how quiant!

I don't need to use Cassandra. I live Cassandra.

Status: Just got back from a meeting that was in the same building as a local polling place. Now I am considering the implications of having politicians elected by those who can just barely navigate a parking lot without hitting me.

Status: watching Angry Red Planet and playing Starbound because stuffz on this forum reminded me of those two things.
Enjoying 1959 movie lines like, "hold on... someone's alive... THE GIRL!? Hell with radiation, let's go!"
I think I was mistaken, the movie where aliens spare Earth from destruction because cats are cute is a different movie. Perhaps 12 To The Moon?
EDIT: yeah, 12 To The Moon. Another "classic" of 1950s sci-fi cinema.

Current status: having fun with the new help desk software implemented yesterday. Can't stay logged in, session expires after 15-20 minutes. After logging in again, the view is corrupted. I probably waste half an hour a day dealing with this.

status. political discussions in the office got a bit overheated. someone grabbed one of the foam pirate swords i have at my desk to settle the issue "as true pirates would"
it was so hilarious i fell out of my chair for laughing.

Status, mirrored from an IRC channel. The first line is me conveying my current mental state:

Wondering why Gmail decided to autotranslate a coworker's email to me from Latin to English, when it's in English...

See original page, eh? Ok.
Oh, yeah, my bad Google. Clearly English!
For some reason it does work on right click -> translate in Chrome...
Filed under: Just remembered I have it around due to this post, but not WTF enough for a thread IMHO

Do you have the new Android version yet? I just updated it.

No, this was on my PC via standard Gmail web interface.

Having fun exploiting the huge holes in the security for this system. Wondering if the Discodevs created it.

You could always supply a PR.
:snigger:
That said, I'm in a better position now to do that sort of thing - once I learn how to actually do PR's; not used
git
in anger yet...

Yeah... tried to install Discourse once... got bored, got angry, got
rm -rf
happy...And that was BEFORE the "learning Ruby" bit.

Use the "blame" command judiciously.

Sadly, as in

Status: apparently an update from last month to a custom aspx webcontrol (addition of a special behavior by someone else), breaks when combined with a different special behavior. It wasn't noticed at the time the new thing was added cause the stuff using that behavior wasn't using this other one (and proper testing wasn't done to verify that it worked right) so I get another thing added to my todo list.

We had help desk software that performed perfectly fine. It had a few weird quirks, but nothing serious.
Now we have this ungodly mess that is just walls of text, a horrible interface, NO discoverability, lots of security holes, and half of it doesn't even work. The tickets can't be closed, and all of the emails are plain text.
It's a huge step back, and there's absolutely NOTHING gained by using this. It was forced on us, and we hate it.
Now why does this sound familiar...
-

Generally ticket trackers are updated either due to licensing costs increasing (so gain being cheap) or because there is some new fancy report that those making decisions will never look at. So things are gained by updates, just nothing that is normally used.
-
They sunk a whole bunch of money into this system, so I know that it's not the former.
-
Fancy reports that those with permissions to view never do (boss and boss's boss can't view and don't get yelled at about on ours) is why the one my company uses was selected.
-
It's going to be years before they get any meaningful reports.
"Why are ticket closures so low this month?"
"The close ticket feature isn't working."
-
But seriously, this company has the bad habit of implementing large, costly pieces of software that cause many employees to flee. They lost quite a few people due to one project earlier this year, and I can guarantee that they will lose more due to this project.

Feeling snotty from my cold still. This is gonna be one of those nasty ones that lingers FOREVER.

Played waaay too much Starbound, then got pissed when I realized the regular build hasn't had any content added since April. Does Early Access give developers some kind of rabid phobia of actually completing shit? (Still, at least Starbound was actually fun before it went on Early Access, unlike DayZ or Rust.)

Every single last thing I do with it, I find something else that's broken. Wow.

Status: Firing up VS2013 again. People who use VS have no right to lambaste Eclipse for its slow load times. I could have went and made a drink while I waited for it to load everything in to memory.

If you have a computer where VS loads slower than Eclipse you're probably doing something wrong.
I wasn't going to say anything, but Chrome squiggly-underlined "lambast" and wants you to know there's an "e" at the end of the word.
-
OK, so maybe it is not that long, but I think I am going to order an SSD for this laptop.
Yep, going to do that right now.
-
I am amazed at how much faster SSDs are. You can't even realize until you've tried it.

Either "making a drink" means "quickly pouring a Coke into a glass", or you really fucked-around with VS2013 to get it to run that slow.
-
Fear is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.Hmm? Yes.

I exaggerated, just a bit. I was just annoyed.

My new desktop is running on an SSD. Now I am impatient. It might be the best thing to happen to UX in my lifetime. Well, if we forget about Vista. The best thing was shitcanning Vista, very close second is an SSD.

I'm surprised that's even possible. VS runs smoothly on my old laptop, Eclipse pretty much bricks it.
-
Is it trying to phone home to load the news / what's new / ad spam from MS? I find that if I haven't authenticated through our firewall, VS2013 will take 10s of minutes to load.
Speaking of Eclipse and SSDs, Texas Instruments' embedded development IDE, built around Eclipse goes from 5+ minute compile times to < 30 sec compile times on an SSD.
Edit: SSDs are the shit, is what I think I'm getting at.

Status: finished serving as an election official for our local municipal election. Not as exciting as the one that you folks down south are having, of course, but democracy in action and all that. Now to go wash the public off myself and drink beer until I forget that I need to go to work tomorrow.
