That's why I always write down what I want to do. If only I could find my list where I put my notes...
You need to write a shell script to organize that.
Or an app.
It might even be useful for other people, you know.
-
I did.
But let me see you search for such a thing on a 2 TB disk without remembering some unique keyword.

I think I was narrating it when I made it, but my microphone is pretty shitty, so I dunno.
I'll take that as a "No, it doesn't have Audio, your computer isn't broken, Lorne".
-
finishing this CD copy will take roughly 47 eons.
Shoulda made an image first, that way at least you wouldn't have to wait manually....
'd by @FrostCat, though he was using the wrong terminology I think...I use IMGBurn on Windows, set read-retry to 0 (default is 20 software, drive usually tries 20 as well). It will get you through well enough.

Oh yeah. THIS program.
I've filed like 20 WTFs about this abomination in the past. I can't believe I forgot the name of it.
I also can't believe YOU'RE RECOMMENDING IT! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!? YOU JUST LITERALLY CAN NOT IDENTIFY SHITTY SOFTWARE, CAN YOU!?
-

One is glad to be of service.
-

You're using Windows. Your point?
-
Windows doesn't call me an ostrich?

Aren't you special? @Blakeyrat forgot to write "ostrich" for his username!
-

I didn't recommend it.
-
THIS program.
Let me guess, open sores?
Anyone with an ounce of professionalism would never do that. Now my company's application has a few...saucy...messages, but nothing like that. But the worst is probably about like this:
-
Status:
Moscow Mule and a fire burning somewhere north of 600C (that's as high as my IR thermometer goes and the FLIR camera is in the other race garage)
Edit: Actually the FLIR has a narrower range anyway.
-
Status: with 30°C outside and 66% humidity, i'm sweating just from seeing @Weng's picture
-
Meanwhile I'm wishing my fireplace wasn't behind a TV.
-
You aren't having a good fireplace fire unless you've closed off the fireplace, installed a wood stove and are running it so hot the iron is starting to slag.
The fireplace got closed off because I actually managed to melt the armor plates and severely compromise the brickwork. I'll be fixing that (in consultation with industrial furnace engineers) with an upcoming whole home renovation.
-
my fireplace wasn't behind a TV.
My fireplace is my TV. I think it puts out like 200 BTU or something.
-
why would you do that?
burn that TV and tell your son to look the fire if he gets bored!
-
melt the armor plates
pfff, you're lying, we all know that steel can't be melted. not even with jet fuel
-
Stare into the face of hell!
-
-
That's because you aren't watching the white flames dance and slowly fade to blue. Motorola's finest inexpensive camera technology isn't up to that.
-
It's just a checkered blue-and-black pattern, sheesh.
-
If the PM-ee is someone who has recently posted in a thread, you can bring up their user card and hit the "Message" button on that.
Wait, doing that takes you to the recipient's profile?!
Why would that have to happen?!
-
In other news, I have more to worry about than a blizzard
Only 10000 miles away!
-
-
Wait, doing that takes you to the recipient's profile?!
No, the point was that it allows you to send them a
PM without opening their profile and DOSing the entire forum.
-
Better be ready 26 days from now when it gets there!
-
niiiice.
also:
i know discourse sucks, but hell?
-
Status: I just started "playing" a free visual novel. It has nice background music ("Gymnopédie #1" by Erik Satie, arranged for guitar), but there's no Belgiuming option to set the volume to a reasonable level.
-
Yeah. It lets you post before it's done uploading image attachments. And that happens.
-
Status: Hoping the adrenaline-crash-migraine won't be too bad after winning the roller coaster ride of the season so far.
-
My next feat for the evening, once I've made myself another drink, will be to unclog my shower drain. Long hair is evil like that.
-
-
You're right; it does indeed take you to the user's profile before opening the editor for the
PM. I don't do muchPMing, so I didn't remember that. I was just going by what @izzion wrote, but it turns out it's inaccurate.
-

? I thought you were English?
-

It was accurate in the sense that it doesn't take you to your own profile.
-
Hm. That's what I get for trying to steal forumpointzzzzz with a quick answer.
-
Unfortunately, it was a
PM to me, so the only posts to find were in here or a Mafia thread.At least viewing my profile shouldn't be as cootie inducing as other profiles, since I'm not a very talkative person.
-
it doesn't take you to your own profile.
True. That's useful, I suppose, if you're very active and your intended recipient is not, but if the recipient is as active as oneself, it doesn't help.
-
Stare into the face of hell!
Pffffffffbt. Amateur. Get back to me when you have some ammonium dichromate.
-
The thumbnail for that looks like a Japanese flag, which is quite appropriate.
-
Why did blakeyrat never tell us that there's an "Orb of Discourse" in ESO?
-
They had to cut the video down because shortly thereafter the tentacles started doing lewd things to a cartoon of an underage girl in a schoolgirl outfit.
-
Status: Goddamn fucking Citrix fucking Receiver. Installed it, and it didn't deign to register .ica files, so I tried associating them with likely programs, but none of them will ACTUALLY FUCKING START MY SESSION.
-
Status: I still fucking hate Hyper-V.
-
Blakey is TR
-
There's a book titled Discourse on a Tome in Guild Wars 2 that contains a transcription of a Jeff-style NOREPRO.
-
At least I could Hyper-V into a VM where Citrix worked.
-
It's just a checkered blue-and-black pattern, sheesh.
wat? It's a checkered white-and-gold pattern.
