Congratulations, you created the world's worst markov chain text generator.

Pretty much.
It is oddly entertaining to watch though.

It keeps your coffee warm by running Ember.js on the mug? Sounds easy.
It keeps your coffee insanely hot by running Ember.js on the mug? Sounds like a McLawsuit waiting to happen.

Well there's your problem! The mug was only designed to contain tea because that's all I ever drink! Why would ANYONE put coffee in it?!!?!?! CLOSED_DOING_IT_WRONG

worst... or best?

I thought your post was a response to the one right above it.

Only because 5 posts per minute is so unreasonable for a modern forum engine to handle.

Well, duh.
That goes without saying. Only partly because of the server cooties.

Status: I want to curl up in a ball under my desk and cry hysterically and vomit all at once.
I usually wouldn't bother anyone when I feel that way, but since I'm running a Mafia game, I thought I might give people a heads up.

We still have this little gem.

That's amazing. Reminds me of my first desktop, which ran on Windows ME and had this sticker on the front.
Thankfully, it was destroyed with prejudice about eight years ago.

If I ever get round to making a personal website, I'm going to add something where, if you try to view it in, say, IE6, the site puts up a big banner telling you to download a web browser

Sorely tempted to include this in the revamp of my organization's website, which I am currently working on.

Status: $600 for the Oculus Rift, bundled with "free" games I'll never play and including a "free" XBox controller I'll never use? No thanks... I had high hopes since the developer kits were under $400.
-
*wonders how much of that $600 is 'shiny tax'*
-
If a lot of it is "shiny tax" I think they'll be forced to quickly drop the price somewhat. Elite: Dangerous seems to be the biggest VR game right now and their forums are on fire from disappointed players who say it's too overpriced for them to get it and they'll be holding out for an Oculus competitor instead.

There used to be a sarcastic site that was "fuck IE6" or something, and would blank out the website and throw up an educational page about why IE6 is horrible. I tried to find it, but there's a button and a half of legitimate sites that barf up Javascript about "um, actually, have you tried using a modern browser" for every version of any browser they feel is "too old".
Honestly, if someone's using IE6, you could probably include a small piece of malware that will
- exploit a buffer overflow
- remote execute some code
- which will download (Chrome/Firefox) latest
- install it
- add a skin/theme to make it look exactly like IE6
- change the icon to the IE logo
- remove all existing shortcuts to IE
- change all associations from IE to the new browser
- crash and restart IE into "proper mode"
And no one would know. Hell, you could probably include a plug-in that, if somone visits an intranet site, will change the tab to an IE-Tab as to not rouse suspicion internally.

I kinda want to do this via Group Policy, actually. Anyone want to start a bounty?

Status: (Obfuscated message to team lead)
Side notice: It seems that there's a little disparity between the New Process packages, in that they don't keep consistent whether they are using the New Process tables or existing tables.
For instance, DC_01_01 uses exclusively the New Tables, DC_02_01 and DC_02_02 exclusively use old tables, and DC_02_03 uses a mix.
This will definitely need to be addressed.

Oh yeah, you pay them $600 and get absolutely nothing in return!

-
Wait, so why shouldn't you just buy the dev kit secondhand then?
-
That's an option. I've heard the resolution isn't quite high enough, at least for Elite: Dangerous. A lot of the HUD text is apparently very hard to read.

In post-mortem for a project that went more than 3x over it's budget. Me, and manager.
Any ideas as to how to keep this from happening again?
When Lorne writes up projects, he shouldn't give me any projects for things I don't know.
...
...Keep in mind that I already do this. If something requires a senior developer who needs to futz around with pricing and VAT, it goes to a senior dev.
When it's basic web development and zero business logic, I fucking expect a web developer to know that.
(And when it's basic business logic based on the base-version of the product, I fucking expect a developer whose spent 10 months supporting the project to know it!)

We've got two wifi networks. One works, with a captive web login page, but it's firewalled up the wazoo (and has terrible timeouts) so it's not really something for working with, rather just for visitors. The other works, has serious security, and is almost as good as being wired for both speed and port range open.
Or rather it works when I'm in the building where my office is, but not in the building where the NAS is. It's supposed to, but the dratted thing just acts like it has got vast amounts of noise about such that actual connections take 5 minutes to establish and then only usually last 20 seconds. That's not a recipe for effective working. (I really do not know what is wrong, but I do know that I blame management for not keeping the networking experts on staff who knew how to fix it; contractors aren't the same thing at all!)
So there's wifi, but I don't want to use it over there. If the NAS itself had been working, being back at my desk (a 10 minute brisk walk) would've been far more productive.
-
You said it wasn't "registered" on the wired network though, right? That was my main , as that should not be hard to do at all.
-
I thought I might give people a heads up.
I thought about giving you a like but that but that didn't sound quite right ... so here's a three monkey hug instead ...

If he said this with the tone of "I shouldn't be put on anything advanced"...then it is still a .
If he said it accusatorily towards you...I would shitcan the little fucker.

I had that same sticker on my work XP machine for years. Right next to a Windows 98 license sticker.
