The Official Status Thread

Good morning buddy! This is pretty harsh on the redhat artist, I'm sure he was doing his best. And to be fair, there's worse out there.

Status: Noticing that @accalia and @RaceProUK have stylish new (but unannounced ) avatars.
-
But they aren't hatted yet.
-
It does bear a resemblance to K-9.

Status: I fucking hate RestAssured
.body("list", arrayWithSize(greaterThanOrEqualTo(Integer.valueOf(0)))) JSON path list doesn't match. Expected: an array with size a value equal to or greater than <0> Actual: []
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ben L is the only person I'd recommend to go full-time on the MMO addiction thing. Considering the other uses he puts his free time towards.

Why would that even be a thing, though, I'm not dynamically loading from or contributing to any other running set. Just splitting down the middle like an amoeba here - where would I put @Polygeekery said:
a condom
..?Status: Running out of PIDs and descriptors... approaching "Too many open files."
-
BTW, the solution to this (which I already knew) was you have to use hasSize instead of arrayWithSize (because that makes sense)
-
Doesn't that, you know, prevent forking?
At least you won't have to clean up after your zombie children.

zombie children
Why is it ok when Linux kills zombie children but not when a video game with graphics does it?
-

I think it is exactly equally bad in both of those cases, however bad that is.
Also, what about DoomPS, or whatever it was called.. there, they could be the same act (with appropriate skin mod yes fine..)

Status: moved to a different part of the building ... found a cupboard that hasn't been cleaned since ... 1999?
The Windows 95 book grabbed my attention but taking a closer look there were more then a few dozen of vintage IT books from the early 90's. The Win95 book seems to be the most recent one ...Bonus: a wooden table

Status: We currently have a demo underway and the person we are working with apparently has more vacation days than Congress. This is taking forever.
-
Just catching up. I was going to ask "Why", but I see a better status update now.
-
Filed Under: how can a "released" game get a version of 0.2.9? Isn't 1.0 usually the released version?
Duh. 0-based indexing.
-
We have OS/2 books laying around. And many other similarly old things.
-
Status: Went to reboot a sandbox machine, the only option was "Update and Restart". It may as well have said, "Your workday is now over".
This crap wouldn't happen on Linux.

I have "Inside the 80286" on my bookshelf. Copyright 1986.
NFC where it came from. I think someone put it there just to fuck with me.

Goddamnit.

Those morons who bitched and moaned about Fallout 3 ruined child-killing for all games forever.

Yes.

It's not going to work. I don't even know what a "sandbox machine" is. (I assume it's not literally a machine that constructs sandboxes.)
-

How do you know that? You are not telepathic.
-
How do you know that?
I don't know that. I assumed it. It says "I assume" right there in the sentence. You are fucking retarded.

Status: It turns out we've got a proxy server at work specifically for routing requests for OS updates out of our network infrastructure (much of which isn't so much firewalled as just plain not routed off campus in the first place) for lots of different systems, both mainstream and obscure. Saves me from standing one up, which is nice. But why isn't it's existence documented?! I had to ask someone over lunch to find this stuff out.
Seriously, our internal web presence is shocking in just how little information it provides. (Though if you want management vision statements, we've got plenty.)
-
I don't know that. I assumed it.
I thought you assumed nothing, and then routinely rant when everyone doesn't explicitly spell out everything in the tiniest minutiae at all times?
-
Status: Marvelling at Apple's ability to introduce their version of the Surface RT, while sporting Surface Pro price levels.

Status: Joining

I don't care if people make assumptions, I care if they make assumptions then treat their assumptions as facts.
-
Well, sort of defeats the purpose of what an explicitly stated assumption is for, to object to that usage, dunnit? Once an assumption is stated in a train of thought, it's generally treated as a fact (within that confined scope), no?
-
I don't care if people make assumptions
When did this start? I did not get the memo.
-
Status: right, I'll just go on Guild Wars 2 and do my dailies.
Except that Microsoft seems to have something more important in mind for my computer than "the thing I (the computer user) want to do and just told the computer to do".
-
Status: I mentioned that the monthly "oh shit you might have a virus wait no you don't and you never have had one well whatever let's just use 100% of your disk time for an hour nobody uses filesystems anyway right" that Microsoft installs and runs once a month on every Windows computer in the world slows down loading screens, and one of my guild members suggested that "I install Avast and Malwarebytes to fix that".

Status: Today's face-to-face interview went much better than yesterday's phone interview. I am cautiously optimistic. If I get the job, the commute will kinda suck, but a sucky commute with a nice paycheck beats sitting in my living room without a paycheck.

Status: Watching The Late Night Show With Starring Stephen Colbert. Before the first segment, there was a 5-second commercial for some life insurance thing that said "we'll keep this short because something or other", and then an additional five seconds of nothing where I assumed it was loading the first segment. Instead, it was loading a longer version of the same commercial. 30 seconds later, the first segment of the show starts. It's a good show.
Then we get to the first commercial break. Or what would be the first commercial break. Instead, it played the first 15 seconds of the second segment, then about ten commercials, and then went back to the second segment but now without any video. Here's a screenshot:

Status: I was about to head out the door this morning,
Wife: "Are you out of here?"
Me: "Yep. I'm off like a prom dress."
Wife: "You really have no idea how inappropriate you are, do you?"
Me: "Not really."
a few days ago:
Wife: Seems a bit morbid to have a funeral director right next to a Banardos
Me: dammit, we lost another one. Throw him over the wall.
You know that horrified laughter you get when you can't believe someone actually said that? That went on for a good couple of minutes
-
a funeral director right next to a Banardos
Is that better or worse than being next to a Subway?
-
No need to bury them, straight down the hole.
<inB4 whoosh. I am riffing on the dual meaning of "subway"

Status: Yorkshire won the county cricket championship. :)

Status: Yorkshire
Supplex: http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/west-yorkshire-police-shame-homeless-9852020. Guess there's something happening in Yorkshire other than abusing the homeless.

I looked carefully, and found a better one:
It still doesn't have the chip code (D, of course), and apparently doesn't say the name on its detail screen. Might be able to edit it into something better.

That sounds like something I would say. I may have been a bit more subtle though. Something along the lines of:
Wife: "That seems a bit morbid, to have a funeral home next to a children's charity."
Me: "But, it has to be pretty convenient, and just good business sense. Location, location, location."

I feel like you used your mad Photoshop skills to fake this.
I used to do multiplayer network testing for Xbox 360 games. I worked with a lot of QA people who'd worked with Bungie (Halo 2, at the time). Bungie had a ... less-than-stellar reputation.
They refused to accept any bug report against their game without a screenshot. Even if the bug report was, "completely black screen when X". So the guys I worked with just made completely black screens at the correct resolution in a drawing program when they got push-back from the jerks at Bungie.
