Yes, my watch has both analogue and digital
Mine too mine too!
12:30 on both though here.

@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:
I think the hands on my watch are slipping
OK, I'm sure they're slipping now; it's been half an hour since I corrected the analogue display, and it's now five minutes behind the digital.
To be fair, I've had the watch for something like 12 years, so it's probably just worn out.

@DogsB I always wondered, what's the proper way to enter "Steam" and "porn" on your timesheet?
"Research"
"Customer correspondence"

@Rhywden Substitute gym teacher? Dodgeball!!!
Hmmh, you're right. And to give them added incentive, I have some large-ish steel balls (yes, yes, ) from Physics experiments for them to dodge.
Which reminds me: How am I supposed to get into the gym? We have coded keys and mine obviously doesn't include the gym.
So, because a) I don't have a key, b) I have no info at all about this class and c) insurance reasons actually forbid me from posing as a substitute sports teacher and d) not to mention that getting the info about me having to substitute at 2100h kind of prevents any kind of preparation, I said fuck it and let them watch a movie.
And because I didn't even get a list with the names of the pupils, some clever guy said: "You don't know who I am, so you can't report me!" and promptly vanished, along with half the class.
Then again, even if I did have such a list, I might as well not bother reporting them - the administration of that school is notorious for not following up on disciplinary matters.
-
@Rhywden The class was pretty much cancelled in that situation anyway, if they are old enough to safely leave on their own I don't see a problem with them leaving.
-
@fbmac The trouble is that @Rhywden is in loco parentis for any children meant to be in his class. Technically, if they got hurt when they should have been under his supervision he's liable and the parents could cause a lot of trouble.

STATUS working from home isn't too bad. I just realized that I didn't commit my unit test work so I can't continue with that but I did commit my dependency management stuff so I'm working on that. So far I've being hitting my head against the wall. This was easier at work when I'm using the eclipse commiters edition eclipse.. but the first one you can download off the site is shit for this. The commiters edition reloads everything immediately. With the "standard" version of eclipse you have to restart the application...
Working with a 27 inch 2560x1440 monitor is pretty spiffy though. If only I could get a second and 2 for work!

Status: Spent the morning writing a tool to help automate writing my automated test scripts. Insery "yo dawg" meme here
-
I also understand why @blakeyrat uses zoom and why its going to become more important as resolutions become higher. Unless I bring it up to 125% zoom I have to squint and guess what the words are most of the time on default settings :(
*edit so far I've only need to do this in chrome. Shockingly enough eclipse is okay. Outlook is good too.

Adjustable DPI works too.

@DogsB OSX effectively does zooming automatically on highdpi laptop screens; they basically spend the pixels on prettier fonts.

"Customer correspondence"
“Consumer research” also works.
-
@dkf Yeah - mine's set to "More Space" - which makes it roughly the same as a 1080 display, which works best as the 2 displays attached to it are 1080.
I'm fairly sure though under Yosemite, it was scaled to match 1920x1080, now under El Capitan it scales to match 1920x1200 which bugs me.

Pffft. If you actually wanted to you could take pictures of everyone who stayed and let the administrators sort it out.

Status: Thank you for taking all those machines with brand-new Windows 7 installs that I left doing Windows Updates overnight (because a brand-new install has like 8234327432784387423893284912384E4366677 update packages and they all take forever) and putting them to sleep half an hour after I left work, pausing the updates and accomplishing nothing.

@Lorne-Kates Maybe in those Canadian pesos. $70 over here.

@Jarry I mean, this isn't as bad, and I've probably already posted it, but people are crazy:

@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:
my watch
I haven't worn one of those in 30 years... There's enough people around I can always ask someone. Or look at my phone. Beyond that, the sun is good enough.
-
@dcon there's sun in England?
-
@Onyx Summer was a weekend this year, which was nice. We got to experience it all.
-
@Onyx said in The Official Status Thread:

It doesn't always rain in England.
Sometimes it's just cloudy
-
@dcon If you actually need to know the time often enough to wear a watch, you need a good dose of slack. Spend a few weeks in Jamaica.
-
@dcon said in The Official Status Thread:
Beyond that, the sun is good enough [to tell the time].
I don't have a good enough sense of direction for that. I use the sun and knowledge of the local time to tell which way I'm going.

Jamaica, where no matter what time it is, it is always the right time to
smoke a jointrelax

@RaceProUK Technically it is. You can see the Moon, which you can see due to it reflecting the light coming from the Sun.

@RaceProUK No, at that point you're just fucked.

Yes, it does.
