They're about 55 pounds each.
That's not a big dog; my small one is about 70 pounds. This is Jax, AKA the Belle of the Ball, aka Trotsky because sometimes he bounces along when he walks.
Here's him disappointed that he can't figure out how to climb that tree to eat a squirrel.

./script.sh: line 1: #!/bin/bash: No such file or directory
I know you got the answer already but if you look closely there's two spaces after the colon and I'm pretty sure there should only be one, and that would be a suitably obscure clue.
-
Yeah, it's obvious in retrospect.
-
Yeah, I never said that they were big. Definitely medium sized. It's annoying since there are usually two categories for dogs, small and large (for things like calming treats), and they're right on the border.
-

It always is! I just fixed a bug for someone else yesterday. "Frost, this has been giving me problems for an hour and I can't figure out why it won't work" and you know the rest--as he read the code out loud, he saw where he'd put the wrong table name in his select statement.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I've been there--our previous dog, an AmStaff, was just under the border.

...our previous dog, an AmStaff, was just under the border.
Good news! Obama says your dog is now OK!

Status: A good day.
- Back at work after vacation and some sick days (damn return flight triggered a flare-up of my cold) but I'm now fitter than I've been for a month.
- Presentation went very well, triggering the right sort of discussions by my boss and my colleagues
- Fixed an evil bug in our build system that had defeated my colleagues for a week or two (the Jenkins Artifactory plugin is a buggy piece of race-condition-laden shit, so it should not be configured to be used in any of our builds, yet somehow it was anyway; the error messages were very mysterious…)
- Had a nice piece of shallow-fried fish for dinner with an interesting caper sauce.
Yep, good day. And tomorrow is Saturday. :-)

Status: I am fairly sure I have never opened a bottle of tonic water without it gushing all over the counter.

Status: realized in quick succession:
- I haven't bled my radiators yet this year
- I've never bled the radiator in the basement
- I don't even know a radiator key with a handle short enough to fit the radiator in the basement
- After searching through all the filthiest parts of my basement looking for the radiator key (which I may not even have gotten when I bought the house), I'm filthy myself
- None of the radiator keys available on Amazon.com and actually sold/shipped from Amazon itself, damnit. Might just head to home depot.

You might be able to bleed the radiators with a pair of pointy-nosed pliers, but a proper key is a far more suitable tool.

Tonic is nice on a hot day. Especially when chilled with some gin and lemon juice. But make sure it is real tonic: look at it in the glass in sunlight, and you should see it slightly phosphorescing a bluish-purple due to the interaction between the UV and the quinine.
I like my G&T long, and sitting in the garden in the early evening sun of summer…
-
Tonic is disgusting to me no matter what the temp is.

I don't know why you'd think I could fit needle-nose pliers in there if I can't even fit my normal radiator key in there. This radiator is REALLY close to the wall.

So yeah, looking at @accalia's old avatar

hmm? what about it?

That screenshot is from a few mins ago

.... i knew that how? ;-)
also WTF? discoursistency!

Could you guys make sure the thread title at least slightly vaguely resembles the phrase "the status thread"?

Status: Friday evening. Next week is (US) Thanksgiving — Thursday and Friday are holidays. Vacation must be used before the end of the year. I don't have to be back at work until December.
-
Lucky you. I don't get Friday off. Well, that was kinda my choice.
-

if you cool it enough you could use it as ice for a better drink.

Right after you prestige you get like 20 levels on the first round regardless of how shitty you play, it makes you feel AWESOME.

Status: Got a mail from my domain provider, starting with (literal translation):
Madam Building B, Apartment 41,
Of course, I checked my profile page. Everything is in order. Looks like someone decided to
SELECT secondAddressLine AS username, 'F' as gender
and call it a day…
-
Does T stand for male? <if the answer to this isn't "file not found" I'll be disappointed>
-
Perhaps
'A'
is for male, leaving some space in-between for complicated cases?
-
arue and false?

Gatsby would be disappointed in you.

Status: wanna do video work, but people keep coming and going from my house. I need a studio with a big-ass red "silence!" light.

Status: Spending an expensive afternoon sitting in Sears Auto Center waiting for 3 new tires and an oil change.
-
Ouch. I got new tires this week also. Quick way to spend a grand. I feel for you and your wallet.
-
So are all posts coming out blank now?
-
Except yours, apparently.

Status: Jet lagged. At least trip was successful, managed to resolve the issue I went for in under the 4 allotted days. Also got the joy of applying 304 updates to each of several WinXP machines :sigh:

Win + I gives you the Settings Charm.

Status: spending way too much money as two hour layover got extended by two more. Thus dinner is coming with airport drinks.
-
The last time that sort of thing happened to me, I got an entire meal paid for by the airline. Just had comfortable time to have it, and a beer too, and the flight was called.
OK, the real last time, I had a hotel provided as it was a nearly 24 hour delay due to the flight being cancelled about 5 minutes before departure. But that's more unusual. And I've had cases where I've missed the connection and been put on the next flight; that's happened rather too much for my taste…
-
United?
Nothing good ever comes of flying United...

Finished my meal and saw they swapped two hour delay for a stop for fuel. So if I'd taken longer I'd have missed the flight, instead I get to sit in a plane as it refuels in Seattle.
-
You got fuel, so it's only fair that the plane gets fuel as well.
-
Now for the punching, kicking, and eye gouging that is bag check and my 17+ hours of planes and airports will finally be over.
-
United?
No. I mostly fly with KLM within the EU and virtually invariably Delta when I come to the US. There's a possibility of me using BA/AA (but not really, as they're expensive) but United are pretty much impossible as their EU affiliates (principally Lufthansa) doesn't fly to my local airport at all. Paying an extra thousand or two just to go off codeshare doesn't sit well with my wallet…

Last year I flew into Dallas to look for an apartment. On the way back, I somehow managed to beat everyone else to the baggage claim area. I was there all of 30 seconds before the bags started coming out. My bag came out within the first minute or so and I was out of there before anyone else from the flight showed up.
