Status: Started the Visual Studio updater updater and then played a 12 minute 39 second PvP match on the Legacy of the Foefire map.
By the way, we won 503-356.

@ben_lubar
Guess you should have played a game of DOTA instead.

@izzion Maybe the time can even fit in a Civilization gameplay.

That is NOT appropriate attire for a blizzard.
That didn't stop Symmetra:
Filed Under: Mei, on the other hand, is a different story altogether. Seriously, does she wear that parka 24/7?

Unbricking my Netgear WNR3500Lv2 router.
Ok, so the firmware on MyOpenRouter.com "works". But many things keep crashing (like, the http interface, which is kinda important to access the configuration GUI). This owing probably to it being a Proof of Concept build by Kong back in 2015.
I know that newer builds would probably be so much better, but I tried several and they just don't work (I think they fail to configure the switch correctly).
*sigh* Why oh why....

Cookies!
{serves each of us 3 cookies}
{goes out of the kitchen for seven seconds}
{comes back}
Uhhh... I had three cookies.
Yes.
You had three cookies.
Yes.
There are now five cookies left.
...
....
.... yes.And that's how I coined the term "A Heather's Dozen". It's exactly like a Baker's Dozen, but -1 instead of +1.

Spoiler
Lorne ate the missing cookie

Status: We apparently have a "Nas". It's a Netgear ReadyNAS or something, and we don't really use it I guess.
That's not too important. What's important is the computer hosting the Perforce server (all our source code for the company), which I just had a wonderful little talk about:
Yeah, I think it's a good thing I'm here, so many dangerous practices going on....

I was told (by multiple people) that Windows Update auto-reboot was not an issue, it was a god-sent feature.
Maybe, if the god was Loki.

@TimeBandit said in The Official Status Thread:
I came in this morning, turned my monitors on, and continued where I left off yesterday.
Linux is really not usable.I can almost always do that. Tomorrow morning I won't. Because monthly scheduled maintenance reboots everything, whether it needs it or not. So not only can I not simply continue where I left off, I have no open windows to remind me what I left off doing.

Hibernate the machine beforehand so it doesn't get the control signal?

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Server in a data center? Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. Nevermind that the purpose of the maintenance in the first place is, at least in part, for IT to update software on said server. Being Linux, it shouldn't necessarily need to be rebooted, but I have zero say in the matter.

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
necessarily
Well, they're coming in from Windows world. You reboot just to be safe! :D

Someone brought in a tub of Quality Street this week. My favourite is the toffee penny which no-one else seems to like. Score.
-
@CarrieVS Milky way in the boxes of Heroes here. It's nice having less common tastes
-
@Jaloopa I also like Bounty in Celebrations.
-
@CarrieVS I used to like you, but anybody who willingly eats a Bounty is below contempt
-
TIL @Jaloopa considers me below contempt
-
@RaceProUK I thought you knew that already? :P

STATUS time for a workday bender!
3 of my friends have being sacked and another is in a constructive dismissal tribunal. I sense its time for an exit strategy!

Bounty in Celebrations
Hey, guys. I really like chocolate, but what can we do to make it even better?
Lets find something with a crappy taste, like a coconut, flake it up so it gets caught in your teeth and on the roof of your mouth, then coat a block of it with a thin enough layer of chocolate that it will fool people who don't know what's in it
Yes. That is genius!
-
@Jaloopa I was in a meeting last month where they put out a bowl of Celebrations that only had Bounty and Snickers in
-
@loopback0 full sized snickers are OK. The celebrations size ones have an unbalanced nut:chocolate:caramel ratio
-
@CarrieVS @RaceProUK I'll join the bounty lovers club.
Scowls at @jaloopa, @DogsB, and @loopback0

Status: Now that the WTDWTF family is fully dysfunctional again, I am wondering whether I should go into @blakeyrat's threads and clean up all my posts before he starts complaining about them...

@RaceProUK Bounty likers, unite!
(but Dove/Galaxy Caramel is best Celebrations because caramel)

Also: CrΓͺpes with Nutella and Coconut are great.

We have that soap brand here as well.

Soap with caramel. At least it isn't soap with coconut.

I'm adding some new projects to a solution that's almost all VB.net. Obviously, I'm doing them in C# because it's nicer, perfectly possible and our coding starndards are to do new work in C#.
It's taking a while to get used to

soap with coconut
You are not very familiar with bath room products are you?
-
@loopback0 What've you got against coconut? I love coconut. I'll admit the syrup-soaked grated stuff in Bounty isn't the best quality coconut but it still basically tastes the same.

@Luhmann said in The Official Status Thread:

Not in my tubs of Celebrations, no.

-
@loopback0 Well yes sure. Not everyone likes it. But what've you got against the idea of anyone else liking the taste of coconut?

does it really matter? It's all shitty from a chocolate perspective.

It demonstrates a weak mind and a damaged spirit

It's important people know when they're wrong.

It's even worse than Bββββββn chocolate.

@HardwareGeek
Yeah Bulgarian chocolate really ins't something to recommend.
-
@ben_lubar Oh yeah, well we won 8-6
-
@JazzyJosh
This is why we can't have nice things anymore. Hockey scorelines should not involve the number 8. And probably not the number 6, either.Edit: Well, ok, the ECHL isn't so weird with those scorelines, but that's because the defensemen obviously just met in the locker room before the game, so a certain number of missed assignments leading to breakaways have to be expected. But actual professional defensemen should never surrender 8 goals in 60 minutes.

Doesn't the old saw just skip the chocolate and go straight to thefinecheap wine in volume?"Candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker"
