Status: get into the office (half-day today due to doctor's appt this morning), have an email from a client: "today is the deadline for filing 1094s. Is [my software] ready?"
Ho ho ho ho ho, yes, it's ready, but it doesn't matter that today's the deadline, because you blew right on past it. You needed to have your test data uploaded two days ago.

Status: So, Vodafone seems to have had a major outage today for about 4 hours at least.
Internet did not work, telephone without a dial tone, their support-site for cable customers (kabel.vodafone.de) is still inaccessible, I just noticed that now their whole site is down and their support line over the telephone (which I dialed through my mobile with O2) also simply swallows calls. Twitter says that Vodafone Mobile is affected as well.
Also not localized - reports come in from all over Germany.

Status:
Background:
- Uncle and I sold our non-functional work van for $200 to a tower/junkyard, because it would cost way to much to "fix" it, and as those quotes would imply we still couldn't be certain it was actually fixed.
- We're buying a used box-truck from our current primary employer, which we've been using since the van broke down.
So I called up my insurance company today to add the truck, after having collected things like the registration, what type of insurance our employer wants us to have (as lien-holder), etc.
At some point during the call:
: So which one of you is going to be the owner of the vehicle?
: …Crap, didn't think about that. I'll, uh, have to get back to you on that.After talking with my uncle, we still don't know. Eventually he will be, but for raisins I may end up being the owner for the near term.

@dcon no, it's not parsing as octal. I know that can be an issue but in this context it's definitely not.

Typing on the HoloLens is a joke, I feel like I'm channeling a chicken, which wouldn't be so bad except my long-ish password is impossible to type using Speech recognition.
Will try to load up the site in a bit, but I can't imagine it being any better than Mobile (and it's using Edge, so you can guess at the user experience I'll have).

More reliable than my standard experience at work, where I use Sleipnir? Yes.
I use Edge almost exclusively at home.

Does it do proper kinect typing with a virtual keyboard, or does it use gaze for that too?

@Magus said in The Official Status Thread:

Gaze. Gaze for everything!
I wouldn't mind programming a helper app that allowed you to gesture the keyboard as if it were gazed at, but I've yet to set up my dev environment.
Edit: At least it lets you use cortana to recognize sentences and crap. It's just agony to type non-canonical words and passwords.

so, the site works fine apparently.
Edge itself seems to be in a medium-width mode for the site. But it does seem mostly usable for the most part kind of.Edit: apparently the default zoom is 125%.
Now it looks normal.

Set it down on a wooden table, and get out your camera.

The reason I couldn't preview it was that I hadn't filled in the recipient's name and event fields.
Hey, this post is like how a customer called in yesterday, upset that I wouldn't drop a scheduled call with another customer to help with their problem (to the point where they asked if they should call my supervisor and I told them they were welcome to, but since they couldn't clone me it wouldn't help much) and suddenly lost a lot of their attitude when his IT guy noticed he hadn't actually applied the update I sent him to fix the thing he was calling about.

@reikin the server noticed you like bytes so it gave you a few extra. It's kind of like how, in high school, if you went to McDonald's during a friend's shift, she gave you a large fries instead of the small one you ordered.

I'm under the impression that Blakey's problem is with how long it takes YouTube to process the videos after he uploads them, rather than the upload itself. @blakeyrat is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

Here we go, apparently things get uploaded to Camera Roll or something on One Drive. Eventually.
Still not as nice and easy as sticking a fscking USB stick in and copying files, but whatevs.

NFC. I'm hoping it's just a glitch, because the actual app looks fine.

Doesn't look anywhere near as blurry as the screenshot of a web browser @Tsaukpaetra posted.
