Let's hope not, but I am not sending it out until I review it in the morning. ;)
Ever code while drinking and then wonder the next morning how the hell what you wrote works or....sometimes even worse...what the hell it does? That is the bad side of the Ballmer Peak right there. I am nowhere near close to that.

Sure, some games were crappier than others, but there weren't that many utterly broken ones.
There have never been that many utterly broken ones.

Status: checked my email, not sure if happy about not getting something I was actually hoping to get, but in hindsight, may be better that I didn't.

Had brunch, went to two breweries, then a dog park. Now home and wondering why @faoileag disappeared.

It's okay to be sad about it, you dolt.

I usually start getting messed up when I go home from work and it’s dark. So today, in a few hours...

If they come on CDs, they aren't from "back then".
I don't have so many of the floppy-based games any more, and I've no idea where I've stashed my tapes of old ZX Spectrum games. (I never had a console until much later.)

Status: at work again.... but i don't want to wortk.... i want to DANCE
/me starts playing Daft Punk and doing a weird cross between the macarena and the Cha Cha Slide with a little bit of Gangnam Style thrown in. It looks absolutely ridiculous and would earn almost certainly 0 points at Eurovision.

That would depend on what country you are representing. As an West-European country it would get you 0 points but as an East-European country ...

well i'm in the USA so i'd only get on as a pity gig and would be ineligible for voting in any case.

If Céline can compete why shouldn't you? Only trick is to find a participating TV Broadcaster crazy enough to send you.
-
name me a number. go on name me a number of finite length.
i can prove that it's in the digits of PI eventually.
Can you? It seems intuitive that they might be, but I didn't think it had been proven. I'd be interested in seeing your methodology (I assume it wouldn't fit in the margin of your notebook).
A quick google search turned up the following:
-
Yeah it's completely useless. What were they thinking?
Huh? You aren't interested that there's new stuff to read?
-
.... well i'll be damned. my math textbook lied to me.
i expected better of you text book. really, i did..
welp. i found the source of my kindling for the woodstove this year.

The last two sound more Orwellian than anything involving Leadership...
No, I'd say they are pretty spot on for leadership. How would you define it? They are buzzword heavy definitions, but that's not what Orwellian means.

What do I care what other people are prattling about? All I care for are the endorphin hits I get from replies, likes and people admiring my epeen.

Unless you plan on mocking your own output, a lot.

Python 2.4.3

isn't that.... a bit restrained? i mean there should be a purple dildo covered in barbed wire in there.... right?

Fuck French Discourse. Switching back to a sane language like English.

Been there, done that. You have my sympathy.
Filed under: Nowith
? No three-blocktry/except/finally
?except x, ExceptClass:
instead ofexcept x as ExceptClass:
? No Popen.kill? Is this thing even Python?
-
Take pi, convert it into base 9. It is then an infinite, non repeating decimal that contains no 9 digits. It's still a valid decimal irrational though
Are you sure of that? Are you absolutely certain that changing the base of pi will maintain it's infinite non-repeating characteristics?
-
hasn't that at least been proven?
-
I dunno. My mom might, with her 2 or three math degrees.
-
wanna ask her?

Don't feel bad, that's what I have, too.

Suppose I could. I need to call her tonight anyway.

if you do tell her we say hi! :snicker:

Status: have been voluntold for a trip to darkest Taiwan next week because my colleagues over there can't get something to work even though it works perfectly on my machine dammit, and TeamViewer, while a very decent piece of remote access software, somehow hasn't managed to give me a way to manipulate the hardware attached to the machine from this side of the pacific...

The rationality of a number isn't related to the base you represent it in. If it repeats or terminates on one base it's pretty trivial to show that it does in any base

Couldn't you break this by, say representing it in base pi?

Status: mildly bemused that my phone autocorrected "costume" to "cocaine." I was SMSing my wife about a game, and "Just finished the pig cocaine" would've probably been confusing.
@codinghorror, why did your software fail to make a post and say "Error: 0 error." ?

Current Status:
Stuck listening to a conference call that my boss is having over his speakerphone due to him having his door open. It's distracting.
Late Status:
Bought the new iPad (the iPad Air 2) Saturday afternoon and was futzing around with it off and on Sunday.The most I've noticed of it so far being "so much better" is just that the Retina display is nicer on the eyes and it is a bit faster on loading Discourse than the iPad 2 was (which should say a lot about Discourse). Too bad I got the white screen issue I mentioned elsewhere on the new iPad as well, right away, when catching up on the forums.

Status: Frystaring at $vendor's code for being sent to him in a state that will never compile, and wishing he could frystare at $vendor for it.

Playing Hitman: Codename 47 (the first one) in easy mode. Realized you're basically invincible when behind cover. Changed strategy from "Stealth" to "KILL ALL THE GUARDS ONE BY ONE". Game is now fun.
-
Pretty sure that I spoiled my lunch with a mid-morning snack. Might go get lunch anyways.
-
Four instances of Visual Studio open.
Still taking up less memory than the Discourse tab that I left open in Chrome.

Starting to feel the effects of the latest dose of caffeine — now that it's almost time to go home. Accomplishments today: negligible.

Perfect description for Monday.

status: writing the first chapter for my NaNoWriMo entry.
man... i'm way rustier than i though to was.

Just don't post it to Literotica until you get to the juicy bits.
-
well i wasn't really planning on there being much in the way of juicy bits in there, but i suppose i could work in a scene where there's an urgent need for some lemonjuice and all that is on hand is a bowl of lemons....
would that work for you? or had i better make it grapefruit juice?
-

It's @blakeyrat. Whichever is more sour.

Vodka/soda pop, football/hand egg (fat men standing around), and Python. I could probably being doing better things with my life.
