I knew that 9m.no would come in handy someday!
Even if it's just to stop Big Discourse's click surveillance.

Status: FUCK YOU NOTEPAD++!
I hit undo too many times and removed all my pasted text. So, I hit CtrlShiftZ without even thinking and...
SUB (That's what I got. Single character. Can't c/p it from VM for some reason).
is that and why would you put it on that shortcut? Now I have to do this shit all over again...

Status: If I'm reading this thing correctly... This looks pretty irreversible. Wouldn't be surprised, but I'm dissapoint...
VB ain't helping.

Editors with just a single copy/paste buffer are the worst...
-
Status: I have been secretly told that I'm getting a (secret) raise and promotion. I am not allowed to officially know until the director tells me personally tomorrow. Because he wants to be Good Cop.
It isn't everything I asked for, but I think it'll be enough for now. It puts me on the mid-six-fig track, anyway.
That said, midnight tonight is officially the cutoff for "Give me a raise or else." I'm not sure if this counts or not.....
-
if it happens tomorrow, then let it slide, otherwise..... well they will regret learning about otherwise....
-
That's kinda what I'm leaning towards. Jobhunting is hard. And annoying.
That said, the promotion isn't to Super-Secret-Squirrel-Totally-Not-A-Developer-Dev4 as previously advertised*. They actually CREATED an ACTUAL Dev4 and I'm the first person being given it. Can't wait for all the butthurt I'm going to hear from all the people who have been there for a trillion years.
*I have previously explained that Dev3 is always promoted as the highest possible position for a developer to attain, but they had some bullshit 'Analyst' position that effectively meant 'Dev4' and was used exclusively for retention purposes (aka bribery).

Status: Oh joy, my FreeBSD MacBook has shat itself. Now I can look forward to reinstalling from physical media...
(It's been a bit flaky ever since I accidentally installed experimental nvidia graphics drivers on it. It has an intel graphics card...)

Editors where doing something after you undo removes your entire redo stack are the worst.

Status: Fuck. Trying to install FreeBSD is a pain in the arse. Who wants to have to dick around with partitions and MBR, EFI, GPT god knows what other random acronyms. Why u no boot?!?

Oh, yeah, to add insult to injury, the \ key cap has just vanished into thin air. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
Update: How does it get down behind a chair?! Oh well....
Update2: This is not good - I tried to superglue the keycap back on, but it didn't work particularly well. So I tried to lever the it off again, and ripped the whole top of the membrane off. So now I have no way to enter \ at all... shit. Shit shit shit.
Update3: Looks like the superglue got into the little "legs" underneath the key, and stopped it moving (I know, right?) Decided I may as well go full retard at this point, ripped them out and superglued the keycap back again (plus the half of the membrane which was stuck to it). It looks and feels awful, but at least I can type with it for now. I guess I'm going on ebay for parts tomorrow...

So? They should never get loaded then. Unless you were seriously Doing It Wrongâ„¢

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GET SO MUCH MONEY.
Status: finished an 8-day-estimate task in 3 days, and since our only tester is on leave, I'm not even getting any bugs to fix until next week. Wondering what the hell am I supposed to do now aside from dicking on TDWTF.

Almost hit a fox on the drive in today.

Rogue chromium escapee has disappeared overnight.
Probably gained sentience and siphoned out through the internet, on its way to enslave humanity and take over the world. Hope it remembers I always updated regularly and allowed it to send anonymous statistics to Google...

Factum est:
Brainfuck: now with iterations, but not nested iterations.
The embryo for nested iterations is there, but I have some work to do as well today, so I leave that as an exercise to the reader.

You were told this yesterday? You do know what day it was yesterday?

I've actually been rather quieter this week already; only 26 eligible posts yesterday, quite a way down from the usual 60-90

*Comfortles Onyx*
There there.
It will all look better tomorrow. Especially if you live somewhere that has a four-day weekend starting tomorrow. Easter weekend is really good for making things look better.

Sounds kinky. I like that.
*bites Onyx's ankles*
It ... well I think the original etymology was 'lolspeak-esque' for comfort. But people came to think it sounded like a portmanteau of comfort and turtle. JT, who is very talented, drew one, which proves it. Whatever Ambi says it is not a portmanteau of comfort and fondle and never was.

SAFE WORD! SAFE WORD!
Ok, I'll stop now. This shit (RL, not forums) lowered my IQ by at least 20 points. I also regressed to being something like 16.

Had the call with my boss and the director about my promotion/raise.
Particularly enjoyed the part where the director was admonishing me to keep my mouth shut because it's not public information and is bad for morale while my boss pointed to the section in the HR email explicitly stating that promotions are to be publicly announced because it's good for morale.

Lots of bot building discussions. Those don't count.
