Fuck it, gonna either slack off or take a nap until at least 9PM. I can do those modifications in like 20 minutes, and since I probably won't be paid extra for this shit I'm not touching it until I absolutely have to.
Yeah! You show them what happens when they make you work overtime without pay! Stick it to the man!

@r10pez10 so... Are you crazy for voting? Or...
That's Australia, they don't have a choice. Everyone must vote. It's like taxes, only more pointless.

@ben_lubar Wow, you're getting old. When will you marry, have kids and settle down? That biological clock is ticking, you know.
-
@cartman82 Yeah, yeah, I know, crappy situation, they shoved this into my lap in a weird way, there will be words today methinks. Crowbars are frowned upon by the law, unfortunately.

XD thought I was older?
I've been told so before.
Hell, one other forum I was on, I had a guy who buttumed that I was a late-30s stereotypical HAM radio operator who also happened to be a computer programmer.

Fsking no, and I fsking have to google that every time.
Literally every time.

STATUS I think I'm being trolled by Allen Carr.
I've decided that its time to troll the people in the office again so I was going to drop The Easyway to Control Drinking in a fairly public place. And then I was going to have have AA fliers sent to the office among other things.
So naturally a good troll should know his material so I started reading the book. Lo and behold when it came to cocktail hour last night I actually paused and thought. Do I need a drink to have a good time? It didn't stop me getting shitfaced but It worries me that I paused to think.

@sloosecannon said in The Official Status Thread:
my primary DC is currently a VM...
..... why do people do that?! it's bad enough when the DC has problems but at least when it's physical it's having problems it's because the DC box is having problems, when it's virtualized it's at the mercy of the hypervisor... and when the hypervisor goes south you are going to have a bad time.
hell you can run a DC on a raspberry pi for the amount of stuff it has to do in most workplaces so there's really no excuse*
* except of course you can'tr run an MS DC on an RPi, but you can run Samba as a DC and unless you need the untra super fancy only work in server 2k12 with windows 8+ clients features you'll be just fine.

Reddit... guys.... come on. Just give it up already.
You have to admit it's kind of amazing how every mainstream media headline missed the point of his speech and instead reported to their pre-established narrative. (Ironically, for once, CNN's headline and lede is actually pretty fair. Usually they're the worst.)
Once the media has an idea in their head, like for example "Al Gore invented the internet", it just don't go away no matter what reality may intrude.

QFT, though “idea” and the collective heads of the media don't usually have much to do with each other…

It's true. I guess whoever posted that, though, isn't afraid of the Clinton Revenge Machine. I read this morning that all sorts of groups who'd endorsed Bernie are quietly falling in line. They don't wanna be cut off from the trough if she wins, I guess.

Status: the wall for the part of our suite we're giving up is built. They have to come back and dress it. The new isolated area is one office, a kitchen and a big room with a 6-cube farm. We realized after the wall was built that the light switch for the big room is on our side of the wall, and the light switch for the server room is on the wrong side, too.
Also, now that the wall is done, all the network equipment into our suite will have to be dismantled, carried up the hall and back into our office, and then reassembled. I assume that means we'll lose phone and internet for a couple of days at some point, when they get around to doing that.

That said, I've noticed a definite increase in his (or his persona's) maturity, especially since he took on the responsibility of the migration and maintenance of the forum. He was given a challenge, and he stepped up and succeeded.

Right, because people can only be totally responsible or completely irresponsible, nothing in between. In particular, they can't be mostly responsible but make dumb mistakes.

When you build a wall, you are supposed to wait for the joint compound to dry overnight or so, then sand it smooth, and then paint it. Guess what the people who built the new wall in my suite didn't do? That's right, this morning there's a nice shiny discoloration where they painted over wet compound.
