Apparently the one thing Discourse doesn't refresh as a normal part of its working is the avatar
Welcome to Discourse.

And this is why you don't store porn in your downloads folder
I did a GoToMeeting with a customer yesterday. His computer's download folder was full of torrented movies and music. He said "Gee, I really gotta clean this computer up." No kidding. I didn't say anything but I was thinking "man, don't do that on work computers!"
-
well now it shows up.
Apparently it takes a while to process a change request, so that if a person posts right after changing the avatar, the new one doesn't show, and obviously old posts don't get retroactively changed. How that squares with the reply to box showing the new avatar is beyond me. I didn't see the new avatar in the post that @Yamikuronue imaged, but when I refreshed the page, it was there.

"man, don't do that on work computers!"
that tends to be a resume generating event.
i sit about 10 feet from our network admin and last month i fired up bitorrent to grab a new ISO of Xubuntu for a VM. (this was the only torrent i had going. i do a proper job of work/personal separation; that and i took the eye patch off permanently when i graduated college and started having a thing called "money" on a regular basis again)
ten seconds later the network admin spoke up "Accalia, what are you torrenting?"
he was cool with what i torrented but commented that it would be better to grab that off of HTTP or FTP next time.

Normally, heh. This guy is IT so maybe he felt he could get away with it. In any event it wasn't my business.

My home Internet is 6x faster than work, and as I've mentioned, it's only a short trip home, so I don't bother doing big downloads at the office.

reversed for home/work. but then if i have a big download to do i just fire up team viewer, connect to my always on server at home, queue the download and disconnect. it's done by the time i get home from the office. if i remember early enough in the day anyway. ;-)
-
For quite a while I used to do the distribution upgrades for my work laptop at home for this reason. Matters have improved nowadays to the point where this is not needed.

That's usually been the case for me, too, but here for some reason they CBA to upgrade. We just got to 3MBps a year ago. But I hear they've had problems with our current provider and they may switch. I keep hearing Charter Business ads for 30MBps on the radio...

I could do that but it's too much work, heh. Like I said, I go home every day for lunch anyway, so I'll just start a download then, or wait until evening.
Actually my new phone has Sprint Spark, and I've gotten up to 30MBps at home. Here in the office I can get 1-3MBps at my desk; I can usually get quite a bit faster if I put the phone near a window.
Actually, I'm getting 4.7 at my desk just now.

Oh...... Well I was asleep then!

Good morning, btw!

I think I am due for a new avatar. Something that @abarker can suitably hat.
-
ooh! a customer! excellent....
hmmm... and a tough one at that.
/me scuttles into the back looking for an apropriate avatar
-
/me scuttles
Foxes scuttle? I thought @Zoidberg was the only one around here who scuttles.
-
Switch bodies? I don't see why not. I also don't see why.
-
hmm. this immediately springs to mind.it might be a bit over done, but.... well it does fit. ;-)
/me continues rummaging for more potential avatars

I'm getting married in exactly one month (and a couple of hours). Can you find me something to commemorate this auspicious occasion?

If bad jokes are to be believed, your current avatar is very appropriate.
-
i most certainly can. I'll get started on yours just as soon as i finish serving @polygeekery
-
If bad jokes are to be believed
The worse the joke, the more likely I am to believe it

To the bad jokes topic with you then!

I'm not too keen on the ass sex anyway. She isn't particularly gentle and I can't sit down for a week afterwards
-
Well, you are definitely Doing It Wrong.
-
no, I think she's doing me wrong
-
-
this immediately springs to mind.
Hmmmmm, that certainly seems to fit. But can it be hatted?
A while back I gave @abarker the chance to choose my avatar for me and I would have used whatever he came up with for at least 30 days. Damn shame he did not take me up on that as retribution for the time I was an ass to him.

Not really my style.

would one of these suit?
-
I like the Zelda one. To the hatting thread!
-
Is that an actual cake decoration on the bottom one?
Because I'm stealing that idea if I ever get married.
-
-
That... is the most awesome cake EVER!
-
You could say that it is ... LEGENDARY!
-
i want a new avatar. but i can't find anything i like.
so, i'm open to suggestions
-
You have a pretty usercard!
-
a shame i can't use it as my avatar

you can use it ... but it won't move ... beating the purpose

-
To follow on my tradition from last year: Please find me an avatar as unchristmassy as possible
-
I requiring a less relevant avatar.

It was nice knowing @loopback0, everybody, but I expect he'll either have to go into hiding or will be beheaded any day now.

@accalia
Hey, I need a new avatar.
This one has served me well but it was originally meant to serve as a slight stab towards the Discourse-Default avatars. Since we are not on Discourse anymore, I would like to change it.My requirements are as follows:
- I would like an avatar that is memorizable. I don't plan on changing avatars again, soon.
- It would be great if it was something more than just a letter this time.
- If you find something that portraits the character you believe my persona displays then that'd be cool I guess?
- I am not entirely against anime/manga avatars, though am not sure they suit the current me.
- I have no expectations colorwise. Feel free to go all out.
- The avatar does not have to be hatted initially, though I will probably ask @abarker for another hatting.
- I like the rounded edges my current avatar has.
I am pretty open to new ideas even from other comunity members. Feel free to join in.
Cheers,
Kuro
