If you're feeling as crappy as I am, I'm surprised you came up with that much.
I spent all night coughing and would likely not even be awake right now if not for Day-Quil and hot tea.

Day-Quil
I should probably pick some of that up over lunch. Either that or some Thera-Flu. Or both. Both is good.
-
Ever since our son has went in to daycare I have been nearly constantly sick. He basically spends his day in a petri dish and brings all the horrible stuff home to infect me with by sneezing in my face.

Status: waiting for a concert to begin
-
And the kid is sick with a cold for a day, tops, while the parents suffer for at least a week per.
-
Pffffbt, he barely even gets symptoms and I end up feeling like hammered shit for a week.

Status: feeling useless

Status: being useless
-
Yeah me too. The problem is I'm feeling it. Usually when I'm useless I don't care.

Status: Considering suggesting blakey build that solar system generator I keep suggesting people build.
...Which reminded me that I want to make my own version of Star Twine someday.
...Which reminded me how complex drawing random 3D twines that aren't stupid is.

status: headache.... grumpy. want a something to gnaw on.

You mean Universe Sandbox?
It's not a millionth as fun as Kerbal.
-
Nah, that'd be cheating. You have to write your own in C#+OpenTK, targeting mono for bonus points (Though that should just be a recompile if you aren't dumb about it). You have to be able to restart it or press a button to get a random number of random planets with moons and individual rotations, orbiting at least one star.
I managed a horrible version right out of university, when I thought inheritance hierarchies were always a good idea.
But the fun is in writing your own, and designing your own textures in MS Paint.

Status: after feeling useless, I cut my hair then did my finances in Excel. I'm down to less than 6 months of living expenses in savings. :(
But my hair looks good.
-
Well I do need to do my hiareyou.com images for 2015, but I'm not sure I could mutate a solar system generator into creating 365 interesting images.
-
I'm down to less than 6 months of living expenses in savings.
Not bad. I think I'm at about 3 weeks worth of savings, thanks to taxes, student loans, and certain parties in political power somehow thinking I'm a bottomless wallet.
-
Implement a particle system and start generating nebulae. Now you can make fake Star Trek space images, and have as many colors as you need. That should boost it a bit.
-
-
Nearly got hit 3 times in the mile trip to and from 7 Eleven. Idiots.
-
Hm might be an interesting idea. Definitely need to do something off-the-rails from the 2014 images, since I've been using the same basic algorithm since like 2012.
-

-
Yeah Ben you already know I'm not downloading all the crud I need to compile and run that.
Status: feeling a bit less useless since I'd made some positive motion today.
-
Speaking of haircuts, I really need to get one. Probably tonight, busy tomorrow night.
-
I think I just fixed all those random freezes I was getting in Kerbal Space Program.
Also, B*****m past me for thinking that hanging my CPU radiator within the 5.25" bays using 24 AWG hookup wire is a good idea. And future me will think the same thing of present me because I returned it to that situation once cleaned.
-
Reminds me of when I set up a folding table at home to tear down my desktop. Got some weird looks from my wife, but I'm pretty sure that it was three pounds lighter when I finished cleaning.

status: on my way home

Also: Hating InfiniScroll in a non-Discourse situation. I want to listen to some music on Spotify, and I want to look at the artist's oldest albums because I don't care about the eleventy-billion remasters, bonus track compilations, greatest hits, and live albums. I want the old studio albums. But I keep scrolling...reload, scroll bar jumps, scroll some more, reload, scroll bar jumps. Frustrating.
They don't even implement End correctly, that takes you to the bottom of the loaded part. And holding down End is bad because InfiniScroll eventually takes you to non-stop suggestions and ads.

Is there any reason you can't change the sort order Spotify gives back to you?
-
There's no obvious UI to do so.

It's called "expectorating." You can ask @algorythmics for the other obvious joke.

jeebus, buy a new case that can support that radiator properly.

This, except we have two sons in daycare. The 10-day period where everyone gets sick one after the other isn't much fun.

If I really want a good (but overpriced and too big) fast food burger (with or without bacon) and enough fries to feed my entire department, there's a Five Guys right across the street from where I work. In fact, BRB; I'm going to go get myself some dinner.
Status: Bacony goodness in hand.
-
Are you working on a ray-tracing engine
In Go, apparently.
Here's the project if you have free time and want to look at it for some reason:
Why would any sane person want to do that? It's in Go, for $deity's sake. Kill it with fire!
-
Status: Bacony goodness finished. Threw away half of my fries, because a "little" fries is approximately 3 entire potatoes.

Got my new CGM, a haircut, and a couple of Lego games for the PS3 from my brother.
