Status: Just remembered that I needed to edit-out a bit of Dreamscapes episode 7 the night before it gets published. I R PROFESSIONAL.
Also fixed that audio flub in Super 3-D Noah's Ark while I was in Vegas.
-
Status: Played a couple episodes' worth of Dreamscapes 2. It started as a joke, but now I think I will genuinely refer to that asshole as "fucking Tim".
Fucking Tim.

Status: My bot now has a GUI for adding commands it can respond to. Whoopie?

Status: One of the games I got for Christmas is Skyrim. I just wasted an hour on a quest because I ran right past the corpse of the guy who had the item I was searching for without even noticing.

Congrats! See you in two months.

Status: maybe keeping the constant dictionaries as parts of a versioned DB deployment script wasn't that hot of an idea. Today's commit log goes something like this:
- updated dictionaries - updated dictionaries - updated dictionaries again - more dictionaries - dictionaries - updating dictionaries - rewrote the whole thing to NoSQL... jk, dictionaries

Status: Episode 48 starts the finale. I cut it up and got rid of the super-boring parts, though.

Status: was at the hospital today with my daughter. While waiting our turn, she looks at the wall decorations and suddenly asks:
Why is that clown pulling flowers out of his ass?
Picture:
Should I have:
[poll]
- ignored her?
- chided her for saying 'ass'?
- laughed politely and explained what she was looking at?
- laughed and started inspecting the other pictures?
- laughed and taken a photo to post here later?
- complained to the hospital manager?

Status: It only took my computer an hour to load up Jira and Tomcat and Opera and I haven't even tried to load Outlook and I don't have time for this shit.
It's running 32-bit Windows 7 so even though the machine has 4GB installed, the OS only sees 3 and this is a stock HP so wtf. Plus it's underpowered, but lots more ram would be so nice.

Why is that clown pulling flowers out of his ass?
When our first was really getting good with language, but still had the super squeak, happy toddler voice, we were driving somewhere and a person waited until the last possible moment to merge in which caused traffic to come to a halt. I exclaimed, "Don't let that bastard in. Fuck him."
From the backseat, in super squeaky, happy toddler voice I hear, "Fuck 'em!!" and he threw his arms up in the air and laughed. Yes, I laughed. But it also let me know that now I need to watch what I say around him because he is like a sponge for language, both good and bad.

Meh, they'll learn to talk crap anyway. It's not like my parents didn't try to and now I can swear in three idioms.
-
No doubt. I would just prefer it not start when their age is still single digits.

Good luck with that. Once they start going to school, all bets are off.

Pff...you just need to get them a warning label then it's OK.

Status: Took my dad in for cataract surgery this morning and now we are at the ER due to cardiac arrhythmia.
I've had better days.
-
He is about to be released. Apparently something that has passed for now although he now has to come back for a stress test after the holidays are over. So, over all, the day turned out OK. It is just the middle part where a surgery was cancelled and I had to take him to a heart hospital that sucked.

Our rule is that they can use whatever language they like when they are just around peers, but "inappropriate" language is not to be used around adults.

Meaning all that's left are the regular and extra-boring parts?
-

Yeah, you better remember that in a few more months, or whenever the current sprout starts talking.
Actually IME you need to do that around all toddlers. I knew some people who told their little kids that swearing is OK while driving but not other times.

Status: Being regaled with the story of how a lesbian friend of mine hooked up with the chick that her ex dumped her for and how said ex is basically flipping the fuck out and going full on Tumblr sensitivity breakdown.
Diagrammed for simplicity (Orange is my friend, red is the crazy one. T=0 through T=2 are a few years, and everything advancing from t=3 is in the space of a few months. Notably, T=4 lasted about 2.5 days):

How does wife swapping work if all four of them are wives?
-
Yes
-
Not one of them is a wife. So that makes it real tough.

Status: Annoyed. I shut Chrome down to free up memory to play a game. Said game (Skyrim) somehow uses an in-game mouse sensitivity that is vastly different from my system-wide mouse sensitivity setting (and if there's a game setting to control that, I haven't found it yet), so I have two mouse pointers, one in the game and one that may be anywhere on either of my monitors.
While banging away on mouse buttons during combat, one click somehow got processed by Windows instead of the game, and suddenly a Chrome window opened. However, not my previous session, no; just a single new tab, so I had to go through history and reopen each recently closed tab or set of tabs individually so that when I shut it down again (after posting this rant) it would be able to restore the session properly next time I start it on purpose. And even doing that, I have about 1/3 fewer windows than I had previously. I'm not entirely sure what's missing, but it looks like most of the tabs I had open to various job-hunting sites are gone.
-
I introduce you to DDMM (Dual Display Mouse Manager)
It won't solve the chrome problem but it will keep the mouse on the monitor (I have it set so that it only moves monitors if I hold Ctrl)
-
Long story short: Fsck Chrome's session-management (or, lack thereof).

Fsck Chrome's session-management
It seems to mostly work most of the time for me; other than a missing tab here and there, it's only when it's launched in an unusual way (a stray right-click, as appears to have happened here, or F1 in some application launches a browser to view online help instead of displaying local help) that I have problems with it.

I still have no idea is going on. Possibly due to colorblindness?
-
ctrl+shift+t
didn't brought your session back?
-
I'm not sure who the orange one is, but the red one is an engineer, the green one is a jeweler, and the blue one is a craftsdwarf.

Status: They're revealing the invited teams on this webpage. It loads insanely fast for a connection with China on one end and MilwaukeePC on the other.

Such performance, too!

ctrl+shift+t
didn't brought your session back?I had 57000 windows open; ctrl+shift+t restores them one window at a time. I got about 2/3 of them back before I ran out of ctrl+shift+t history.

That site with a bunch of numbers counting down:
Discourse with absolutely nothing visibly changing:

That's worse than Discourse.

If they're coming soon, it doesn't say good things about their performance...

That makes sense, because that's how adulthood work too.

STATUS: Doing "traditional" web development.
Generate a page on the backend, pre-fill a bunch of hidden input fields with my data, then on frontend, jQuery picks up values from those and generates elements to manipulate data, then when form is submitted, regenerate hidden fields from javascript and POST them with the form, then on the backend use built-in form processor to update the database.
UGH! WHAT ARE WE, ANIMALS!?
SPA-s have ruined me for this bullshit.

I'm not sure i'm reading this correctly but i think this is what's happening there
A&B were walking out together
B dumped A for C
Then for raisins not explained in the diagram B dumped C for A
then, again for raisins not explained B dumped A for D
now A and C are walking out and B is still with D but very upset at A and C for raisins that are not explained

"Walking out" is my new favorite euphemism. I'm not sure what it's a euphemism for, but it's fucking dirty.

I'm not sure what it's a euphemism for
"dating"
but it's fucking dirty.
....
wait. what?
-
Is this some bizarre dialect thing? It's "going out" here.

Pretty sure it involves a leash and a collar, too.
