The Official Status Thread

but I did get a few albums based on some videos in that thread.
I've not watched all of them, but what seemed good enough to you?
-
Well, about 50% of songs I liked had led to me looking up the band and getting more songs. "Tones on Tail" from today, for example, sounded pretty cool, looking into that one now...
And of course, if you're asking for yourself, everything I posted is fantastic and worth getting. Naturally.

Current status:
In the VB .NET app, I set implicit conversion to be an error intead of simply being ignored (it should at least be a warning, but that's another argument).
Started out with the max of 102 errors being displayed at a time, now Visual Studio is showing 129 at a time (until I get lower). Not sure where the extra 27 came from.
On a completely different note, one of the original "internet" designs was that previously created content should never disappear. It should always be accessible.
I feel that this is one of the biggest pitfalls of the current system that we have implemented.

Are they all errors? When I see that happen, it's usually because the compiler found a bunch of new *warnings*.

Status: Avoiding /t/3986 until tomorrow...
At 173 unread as I type, I can probably do with some excitement then, and don't fancy dealing with it (or specifically the flags it's raised) tonight - it's 2300 local, the dog wants to go out and I want to go to bed.

Yeah, I'm not even looking at it right now.

Weird. Now, I know you can fix something that causes it to spot a whole crapload of new errors, but I thought it usually stopped at 100.
Do you have "treat warnings as errors" on? (Is that even an option for VB.Net?)

No, I did have a number of pieces of code where static methods were being called from an instance of a class, and with the project settings that was a warning. The app compiled fine then.

Now it's back down to 102.

I assume that's because you fixed things, but I kind of wish it happened and you had no explanation, because that would be funnier.

No, I still have no explanation. It's 102+ right now, since I'm fixing things, and it's staying at 102.

Status: The 12-hour DIY fuel injector job stretched out into four days, but it's finally done and my truck is running better than ever. I've eaten like 3 meals this entire time, just ate some wonderful cheeseburgers with fried eggs on top and now I'm off to sleep for the next 12 - 13 hours.
I will likely have nightmares of LockTited valve cover bolts, clogged diesel injectors, and the pair of Fuel Lines from Hell that were in the way of like 95% of the things we had to do but couldn't be moved because they're hard steel tubes.
Back to the software world tomorrow. For once I'm looking forward to it.

Well, not really, with all the fake injuries. Soccer fans are a menace.

Don't forget "what's this screw go to?" after you've sealed everything back up.

Unless you imagined someone running to get the cheese to sick bay.
-
huh. that's right it's release day for that one. i should turn on the games machine and get it downloading...
eeeh. i'll do it tomorrow. it's not like i'll have time for it before Friday anyway.

Have all of the things like implicit conversions, functions that don't return on all paths, etc...set as errors in 3 of the 4 projects in that app, have it compiling quite well.
Fun thing I learned today:
In C#, this:
myEnum myVar = (myEnum.val1|myEnum.val3|myEnum.val5);
Is this in VB:
Dim myVar As myEnum = (myEnum.val1 Or my myEnum.val3 Or myEnum.val5)
In hindsight, it's not that surprising.

9am : get to work. Fire off TDWTF.
10am : coworker comes in and asks me for my email. I write it and go back to reading TDWTF.
10:15am : I get CC'd on an email to my team lead, which basically reads "Can we have [me] frobulate a widget, like we discussed?". I have no idea what they're talking about, so I message my team lead on Skype.
10:30am : team lead at the meeting, says he'll fill me in later. Back to TDWTF.
1pm : team lead comes back from the meeting. Explains the issue and says he'll send me the list of URLs, then rushes off to yet another meeting.
3pm : I get the list of URLs.
3:02 pm : I'm done with the thing.What was the task that took the whole day to set up, and a previous discussion? Creating three fucking shortcuts on a desktop.
Oh, did I mention the company I work at pays my company 250 quid for each day of me being here?

Wow, that weather chart in the tweet above is awful.
-
Oh I agree, but that guy's favorite thing to do in the US is to watch the local news and criticize their graphic designers, and the patheticness of that by far outweighs a bad weather chart.

Status: Really hungry. The whole "missing meals because I'm too busy to eat" thing is starting to catch up to me. I think I need a 2,000 calorie milkshake from one of the nearby fast food joints.

I think those are sometimes automated.
Here in Dallas, in tornado season, you'll see graphics like that (including that many bolts), except the bolts are FAR smaller so they don't overwhelm the rest of the graphic.

What, exactly, is the nature of your ejaculation?
Soylent's just a silly name some guy hijacked for a shake that is[1] supposed to have enough nutrition you don't need to eat actual food.
[1] "was, theoretically, initially." I think he mentioned during his Kickstarter that he managed to go several weeks without nutrition other than Soylent and water.

Yeah, it's hard to tell, since you can't see how big the entire graphic / screen is. But I'm not sure what the outrage is here. Which is how you can tell they are graphics hipsters like blakey said.

It just ain't gonna happen, is it?

The excessive number of overly-large lightning bolts on the weather map. It does look silly.
or, depending on which outrage you are talking about, @blakeyrat's outrage at hipster[1]s, or the hipster's "Americans = duh".
[1] hipster graphic designers or whatever.

Isn't a big vocabulary fun?
FFOTD: one of the less common meanings for "drab" is "prostitute." Use that in a high school English class & impress your teacher.
