@Tsaukpaetra does bing.com work?

@aliceif said in The Official Status Thread:

WTF! Yes, it does.
But Yahoo is blocked.
MSN.com is partially blocked, which it decides is an error:
So... Yeah.
Internal sites work though, so... yay?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Maybe related, google and yahoo redirect to https, while Bing doesn't.
But don't worry, people say Bing is really good to find porn

Hmm. Trying with my own (definitely not blacklisted) HTTPS site... Timeout.
What about the backdoor port?
Haha nope.
Oh well, this is only meant for testing anyways. NFC why a VM NAT'd through the host doesn't automatically get the same privs as the host, but whatever. I can test my internal site against IE9!

Yeah, I need to actually look at SE when I say I can give an answer. Waiting two days gives someone else enough time to come up with and partially implement MEF themself from scratch.

Status: Fuck the world. I'm turning the music up loud and I don't want to know about any of this damn shit.
So we had a meeting 30 minutes before I was due to go home (only time when everyone else could make it). Key person required for making the meeting a success was absent — he vanished just before lunch yesterday and nobody knows where he is (HR can chase that up) — but we still spent an hour grinding through, and then it took another 15 minutes for me to be able to leave. So travelling during the main part of rush hour.
At least the wine is having an effect. And the grappa.

Status: Got gifted what I think is a very expensive single-malt whiskey for helping with an urgent (non-work) IT problem way out of hours. Have discovered I actually like very expensive whiskey, this is like smoky velvet

Necro-reply, but what was the whiskey?

Status: Got a "bill" from the hospital where my wife went in the ER in March and spent the weekend. My insurance paid ~$1500 of a ~4000 bill. The way this works, I'm not responsible for the remainder, but the assholes sent me a bill anyway, with a note exhorting me to appeal the decision.
Since I'm not an entirely unreasonable person, I did NOT call them up and yell "maybe if you'd done a better job she'd still be alive." Instead, I called my insurance to verify that, as I thought, I do not owe them any more and they can't bill me. They told me that when this happens, I can call them, and they will actually call the provider and renegotiate so the latter gets more money. Unfortunately I threw out the bill, so I guess the hospital will have to wait until next month.
On a more humorous note, I posted a picture of the urn I got on FB. I almost posted it from her account and wrote "here's my new house!" I figure I'd get yelled at, though.

My new tablet has a big enough screen that if I hold it sideways, I get the full composer, although the viewable area is small.

@FrostCat onscreen keyboards weren't designed to be useful.

Yeah....

Status: Currently waiting an hour and a half at the airport. Didn't think going through security would be so quick, which is why I'm so early.
It's my first real vacation since I've been employed (period, because even as shitty as my last job was, a 7 month stint unemployed is not a vacation), and only a year and a half after my boss agreed that I needed some time off.
-
STATUS Working on a Saturday because fucking hell who did what now?
Getting double OT though
-
@Tsaukpaetra What keyboard is that?

@dkf said in The Official Status Thread:

And HR did just that, apparently. We over-stressed the poor man and he had a full panic attack and had to go and recover at home. Hope he recovers soon.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

@accalia so: Latest version of edge fixed the keyboard adding spaces while swyping but doesn't open the keyboard on opening the composer here unless I switch apps and then back. Also, since they've added swiping for back and forward, I have to use the hamburger menu rather than a left swipe to see my notifications.

Status: Just touched down in Portland, Oregon. Just waiting on my luggage and then my vacation truly starts.

The Macallan Gold (https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/18098/macallan-gold)
I still think it's fantastic, have a glass on the go currently from a bottle I bought myself. I'm planning on trying some of @blakeyrat's suggestions when this one is gone as I have more funds available for Whisky now.

I like it, dazzle camouflage was awesome.

@Cursorkeys It kind of works on ships with smoke generators who want to fuck up the enemy's gun-laying or torpedo-aiming. Before radar existed.
It has pretty much the exact opposite effect on any other kind of war machine.
My personal "brand":
It could be worse, I used to use the dazzle with bright purple and bright orange, but it drew too much fire-- people would focus fire on me first, probably to avenge their dead optic nerves.

Time for cheap whiskey.

Status: I really do want to finish DOOM. But every time I get into it, about an hour in, it crashes. And when it crashes during a jumping puzzle (which there are way too many of), boom, my motivation is gone gone gone.
-
@blakeyrat There are jumping puzzles? Thanks for saving me the time.
-
@Weng They're not too difficult, but either God hates me or the game engine seems inclined to crash right in the middle of them so you have to do them multiple times, and frankly if I have to retry a jumping puzzle more than once, I'm done.
-
@Tsaukpaetra This gave me an evil idea: Microsoft should pay companies to block Google on their networks and force people to use Bing.
(Hey, it could be worse, if things had gone a bit different, you could be forced by your ISP to use ComcastSearch or AT&TSearch)

@anonymous234 don't give them ideas like these

You posted this.
Instead of the post being streamed in as the last post on this page, instead the page counter streamed in the "next page". I clicked on Next Page, and got this:

Then I clicked back to the previous page, and saw your post.
"Like it should be"
-
@Lorne-Kates I'm pretty sure they fixed that and I just haven't applied the fix yet because @blakeyrat will accuse me of not doing code review for a company I don't work for in a language I don't use.
-
@ben_lubar don't let him intimidate you! also, never fix all the problems, keep some juicy red ones for people to whine about.
-
@ben_lubar Ahh.... nope.

Considering I left Omaha, Nebraska to go to Portland, it's a vacation.
Also that I'm not working for a week, that's a vacation in my book.
Also fuck you Swype for constantly fucking up my sentences.

It only seems to happen in this thread.
And how did you manage to do the migration without reading any NodeBB code?
