⏱ You know you've been spending too much time on TDWTF when...
-
I still have 21 unread topics from my absence.
-
There was a time when I was consistently reading every single post, but we've gotten much too active for that.
Some of those have hundreds of unread posts.
-
Sometimes after a couple of days not really reading here, I find the topics with the highest counts of unread posts and just hold down space until all posts are 'read'.

YKYBSTMToTDWTFW....
You feel the need to confess your sins after you got sucked into creating a meta.d account because you were lurking through the Clown Vomit thread and then encountered a total Discoseizure when trying to play the more or less completely off topic YouTube video that a certain someone added to the thread.

FTFY
I can never keep up.
I used to be able to just about keep up, before I went on vacation.
-
Having seen your numbers, I feel a bit better. I'm only New (78) Unread (47)...
-
... you are talking to someone IRL and wonder where they keep their hat.
-
66 unread, 433 new here.
Sorry, I work for a living. :P

And on the weekends?
Working as I write this.
Konica-Minolta BizHub 421 will not work with scan to email, but identical settings on the newer 25e work just fine. Trying to find out why.
Very picky machine. You could be in the middle of an admin session, switch window focus for an instant to another screen to check settings, switch back - and you're booted - PLUS you can't log in for 5 minutes because "Administrator already in use" (Yeah stupid machine, that was ME you just booted.) -_-
-
You should try printing from one...
-
Found the problems (mostly).
- So our email provider requires the From address match the account ID when sending. Turns out this copier is injecting a different From address when scanning. Before pressing START, you have to select Communications Settings -> Email Settings -> press button to change from address, select the only option (the right one), ok, ok, ok, and THEN press START. Then it goes through. As for where that default From address is coming from, $deity only knows (and will be in my request for follow-up to the vendor supporting the unit).
- SSL/TLS port was disabled. Why the vendor never thought to look at that, I'll never know. Started looking for this after resolving #1 above on an unencrypted setup & finding turning on StartTLS broke it again. Enabling this port resolved that issue.
- The whole thing took almost 2 hours. Probably would have taken less than an hour if the admin sign-on didn't randomly boot me, or randomly say it was already logged in elsewhere when it wasn't. Chrome couldn't sign on at all - always told me Admin was already on at sign on (which I suspect it establishes the session, then something throws it out and when it tries to reconnect it's "already in use." It's sad when I used IE9 in compatibility mode just to be able to get in some of the time. Firefox had no problems - make of that what you will.)
As you can see from my limited use above, the 421 model provides a list of WTFs.
If I were evaluating buying a Konica-Minolta based on this 421 model, I would run away. Fortunately, their newer models (like the lower end 25e) seem to function a lot friendlier - no random boot-outs, settings are clearly laid out, no hidden From addresses coming from $diety-knows-where that need manual correction every time you use the thing...you get the idea.
-
That might explain why it took our sysadmins a year to get the 'email me' option to work, and we still cannot mail to anyone else but ourselves.
-
On a side note, you don't happen to know what I told the printer for it to spit out a page with the text "offending command"?
I'd like to know so that I can use it whenever I want to shock and offend a printer...

Back on topic:
you spend too much time on TDWTF when you ... start offending printers

When you have a dream about @morbiuswilters in a fistfight with a couple of hippies.

Pffft. In college I offended a C compiler.
"I strongly object to casting $pointer-type to $scalar-type"
-
Was that Apple's MPW C compiler by any chance?
-
When you have a dream about @morbiuswilters in a fistfight with a couple of hippies.
Morbs as in Morbs, or Morbs as in that Asian chick he used to have as an avatar?

You mean that wasn't actually a selfie of Morbs? I am disappoint.

Hippies fight?
Things got a little out of hand. It's just this war and that lying son of a bitch Johnson...

In b4 he gets into a drunken brawl with someone he thinks is a hippie, but turns out to be a level 20 elf druidess...

INB4 morbiuswilters being turned into a newt.

He'll get better... if he ever makes it back over here.

tharpa: I only visited it over my lunch hour!
It's not helping your case when you're lying, right here.
-
... you see this and start genuinely laughing
-
... you type : in any other communication thingy and expect to get a list of emoji
-
you do that too? i was afraid i was the only one.
-
Don't worry, I see loads of those not-emoticons in my chats as well. My friends all have a custom-made Pidgin emoticon pack installed that they use on IRC. I'm the only weirdo using HexChat.
It's kind of a game for me every time they add a new one of reading the code they decided on and trying to figure out why it fits the message. Recently they added :wworm:, which is "wiggly worm". Still don't know what it is or what it's supposed to represent.
-
We've got some like that. Like :<x>hankey:
-
Yeah, well, but we can know everyone will see it, at least in the forum setting, since we all use the same "client". And you can get it working in emails as well, I guess. But I'm talking IRC here, which never did, or will (most likely), support graphical emoticons. The only way to get these working is to use Pidgin AND ask someone to send you the pack.
-

Does it represent a gyrating snake?
-
-
I was assuming that the
:wworm:
emoticon would be representative of some kind of long thin animal which was undulating in some way...Let's see... maybe this is the closest emoji we have here:
-
Ah, I though that it's possibly an euphemism of some kind. This is the Internet, I always assume the worst...
-
I'm actually a pretty literal person...
;)
-
I am literally a person.

I am literally a person.
There are rumors to the contrary...
I think you OD'd on the PHP and someone propped the hat and glasses on your long-immobile corpse to hide the fact...

That's one tiny asterisk you got there.

Better?
You know, given the bullshit I had to deal with recently, I'm looking forward to returning to working with that thing from tomorrow onwards.
So yes, it actually is better.
