Very cool Scorp. Just got back from seeing 2 sets of my brother's cover band. Almost 12 am. Damn I'm old.

Evening guys

What's up guys?

Nothing much, watching Casino Royale on TV waiting for the gf to come home.
How are you Prog?
-
Sorry guys, there was actually work to do for a little while. How dare they interrupt my shift with work?!

Good morning guys!
Our first rain of the month just started, it's nice for a change.
-
Morning Reaper. What's up?
-
Hey hey!

Here comes trouble.

That line demands a theme song. I deserve a theme song.
-
Nothing much just the typical Monday, don't really want to be at work.
-
Oh hi

Morning Reap! Morning Hef!

Buenos dias

How's the Monday battle going? Good here. Busy but controllable. Sprained something in my foot last week at the gym. Can't tell you how but it's been throbbing of late. No swelling though.
-
My Monday battle is uneventful. No class today but I have a test tomorrow so I should study. I can also work on my roulette
-
Want to get all my ducks in a row with my back u so when I go to RoSfest May 1st, eveything is all set.

So guys I have a situation.
My girlfriend and I are thinking of picking up and moving to Charlotte, NC sometime in May. I'm tired at my work and the way things are going with owners I'm getting piled on with more and more responsibility with the same pay (I'm one dude managing 5 properties, one of which is a 31 room hotel). I'm miserable and I'm always on call 6 days a week from 9am-9pm.
We'd be storing our stuff in a storage unit and going to Charlotte for 4 months. My girlfriend has a travel nursing job she can have there but I would be unemployed aside from my day trading I do from home. I would still like to get some part time work to keep me busy but I'm afraid of taking a leap like that. I know if I don't leave though I'll be getting more miserable with each passing day.
-
That's tough.
All I know is that Charlotte is a pretty cool area, and there are jobs to be had there.
-
I have a degree in Computer Engineering that I never did anything with plus I have 4 years of property management as well as hotel management, I'd be happy with just a part time job making $2k a month.
-
Maintaining.
Yes sir!

You should have no roblem getting a job in the big city. If it makes you and your girlfriend happy, do it!
-
Thanks King, it's kind of a dead end here and I feel like I'll always regret hanging around.
-
I'm only 19 so I feel like my real world experience is lacking compared to others, but my goal in life is just to be happy. If what you are doing now doesn't make you happy, then don't stay. Plus, a change of scenery is always nice. Oh, and I've been to Charlotte a few times for ACC Championship games and I love it up there. It's nice.
But all in all, I don't think you should keep going with something if you think you can be happier elsewhere.
-
Thanks King, it's kind of a dead end here and I feel like I'll always regret hanging around.
Work is work but if you are not happy, change it. i would never add responsibility with the right pay for that employee. Happy worker is a good worker.
-
I've pretty much already decided to do it. I guess I'm just afraid to leave my comfort zone but I'm 28 with no kids or anything like that so if I do it, I'll do it now.
-
Now would be the time, yes.
-
I would love to travel for work but I would have a hard time relocating myself if it was far from my family. If you have no ties where you live in FLA, do it now!

Oh Pep Boys... How I hate them so.
The check engine light comes on in Panda's PT Cruiser. I pull the code using the ignition trick (switch on to off to on 3 times and the code pulls up on the dash. Cool.)
I get the code. P0551. Code literally says faulty power steering pressure switch. I read up on forums and how anyone with a bit of mechanical experience (more than I have) can fix it. The part is like $35. She takes it to Pep Boys and they wanna charge almost $200 in labor alone.
I call my uncle... who is a mechanic... and he says bring him the part and he'll change it out for $25 cash.
FUCK YOU PEP BOYS.
-
That's sweet Jay, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty either. There are so many resources online.
-
I drove an 88 Olds Cutlass till it died a few months ago. I was never afraid to sit and tinker and try to diagnose / fix small problems. I won't do it with her car though. If I fuck up my car... It wasn't an issue. Hers though.... I don't feel like risking that.

That's the norm Jay. My cousin told me that some cars have headlights that take 2 hours to install since you have to take the side panel of the car and much more off. We need to blame these damn engineers that make it impossible to work on your own car.
-
According to my uncle it's only half an hour's worth of work :lol

I have to remove the front bumper and quarter panels to remove the headlights in my MINI. Fucking ridiculous. I understand some shit has to be complicated to fit within given dimensions, but damn. It's like someone in a meeting said "we need our customers to need us for everything".
I had a friend back in the day who was a mechanic for VW. They charged $105 for labor and paid him $17 an hour. I get there is a markup to cover overhead and what not, but they already get close to a 45% margin on the parts.
-
Yup, they all upcharge at first. The truth comes out if they take that long and if they do, you better be informed and you were.
Brian, it is nuts. They have these books with how much time it should take but you read about 2 hours of labor for a damn headlight when I used to put my own bulbs in and it took me 5 to 10 minutes. It's nuts.
-
That's what I did with my uncle. He looked it up in his system. He told me the system says it should cost $45 in labor. He then said fuck it bring it in and he'll have it done for $25 cash. I'll probably wind up helping him with something techy while it's being done in exchange for the discount. Fair Trade.
$45 in labor seems correct in this case. NOT $150. And then the upcharge for the part... a quick search priced it at $35 at Autozone. I'm sure I can get it cheaper. They (Pep Boys) were going to charge like $60 or some shit like that (I wasn't there so I don't know the exact number.)
-
Call back to Pep Boys, ask for the service manager. tell them how you were overpriced in labor. how you know and that they lost your business. Stick it to them.
-
Nah. She got the quote and said fuck that and asked me to call my uncle.
I learned that when they were trying to charge me like $600 to get my brakes done. My uncle did it for like $300.
-
Good morning, all.
Stomach bug.

Good morning.

Morning guys!
I just want to say Happy Birthday to my daughter Gianna. She turns 5 day. Unfortunately, because of this messy divorce, I won't get to see her today and I'm out of alcohol so it's going to be a long day.
-
Good morning guys.
I'm sorry to hear that Prog, I know there isn't anything I can say but for what it's worth I hope you have a good day.
-
You don't have to say anything. I just needed to vent.
The show must go on!
-
To make matters worse, I just got served papers for visitation and child support. The visitation papers say that I should not be allowed to go near my child because I am in a detrimental mental state and under psychiatric care and that I need to seek counselling before I am able to have visitation rights. Is she fucking kidding me?
-
Dude that sucks. I think if you want to see your girl you'll have to go through that. Courts are stacked hard against the husband in stuff like this.
-

I'm just beyond words at this point. What is my defense really? I am not seeing a psychiatrist anymore. Yes I have severe anxiety issues and depression issues but I'm not sure how that has handicapped towards being a good father.
-
Wtf
-
Eh

You know how you guys predicted that my sleeping pattern would be back to messed up again within a week? Well it's 9am and I haven't gone to sleep yet, so yeah. :lol

Last night I think was around 6-7am when I got to sleep, night before that was 2am (fell asleep watching a Dracula movie).
-
Good morning!
That sounds pretty damn ridiculous Prog. If you don't mind me asking how long have you been in the divorce process?
-
Morning all
That sucks, PS.

My game of the day is taking descriptions from urban dictionary and pasting them into a voice synthesizer. And then I wonder why I don't get anything done. :blob:

btw, it was well after noon that I eventually got to sleep. I woke up at 6:45pm.

Well the good news is she calmed down a bit. She has this problem where she just reacts and doesn't think first. I went there last night to see my daughter and my ex and I spoke and we're doing alright. We're not getting back together but she told me she would never keep me from seeing my daughter. My daughter has "special needs" and we both fear that she is getting affected by everything but can't express it. She has a speech disorder and right now things are progressing and she is starting to say more words but you can tell that there is a lot she cannot say. She doesn't eat...anything. She is still on a bottle and jarred fruits. She can't chew. We're not sure if it's a sensory thing or some kind of phobia with putting foods in her mouth. So it's a lot of work and we fear that she is being affected by our situation and can't express it. So she things it is best if I still see her often so she has the sense that I am still there.
-
Monster Jam?
Yes!

oh look, new chat thread

So, like, good morning, or something.

I had an awful flu last week, it went away and now it's back harder than ever. This is the downside of dating an er pediatric nurse. I'm always sick.

So I show up at my uncle's shop to get a part replaced in Panda's car. He's not here. He didn't tell his tech about me either. (We discussed it yesterday.) I did freak his tech out though... he doesn't know who I am.. and I just wandered my way into the locked shop office. I'm waiting for him to try to kick me out.
-
lol
-
Laid there on the makeshift couch (I think it is a bench seat from an old van) in the dark for half an hour listening to music. He didn't confront me but I'm sure he peeked in a couple times to see what I was doing.
-
Evening fellas.

Hey guys!

Good morning.

Afternoon guys

How's it hanging?
-
Hi Reap! How are you?
-
Howdy howdy folks!
-
Hey, hey, hey , Jay!
-
How's it going Joe?
Working?
-
Yes and no. I am on DTF. :lol
-
Same. Kinda.
Spent the first 2 hours of the shift dealing with shit. We had a lot go on last night and the night team actually handled it all very well. Even so, I still had to take a report for something that may or may not have been related to the chaos from last night, and then clean up their reports... and then relay all the info out to the higher ups. I am just now getting started on my normal in office daily busy work.
Well... I started my busy work and then got distracted by DTF...
-
I am officially on autopilot for just over 3 more hours.
-
Oh I forgot that it's Friday for you normal folk
-
Just had a shower, shave, and some dinner. It is officially weekend!
-
:getoffmylawn:
-
Tonight is Wednesday for me. Hump Day on a Friday seems more fitting.
-
I was off yesterday. Next day off is Monday.
Next month my week gets all fucked up. I used to be able to pick any days off to compensate for the fact that I HAVE to be here Fri-Sun. Well... do to staffing issues (more like the night crew can't get their shit together and do their job) my supervisor is picking up another night shift on Mondays. Meaning I HAVE to be here Fri - Mon. And then I am being told I HAVE to be off on Thursdays. So I get to pick between Tues / Thurs or Wed - Thurs off.
I'd like to go back to having Fridays off like I did last year but that will never happen. If I complain I just get told I'm lucking that I am not getting put on nights. Which I am lucky for. My supervisor is taking that hit for me. Still... throw me a bone.
-
I am home and the wife and I are going for some food and beer. Weekend has arrived!
-
:metal
-
Evening guys, day off turned out to be a busy day indeed. How is everyone doing?
-
What's up guys?
-
Morning

Morning, king

Howdy Hef. The wife is still asleep. I should make coffee but I might drink it all on her if I did.

Morning

Morning John. So every year our families favorite ice cream shop opens and we go down together with the old man for some ice cream. Today is the day.
-
That does sound nice. :D
-
We've gone here for over 25 years and my dad gets the same damn ice cream every time! Chocolate marshmallow. There's 50 flavors ever changing. I don't get it! :lol
-
That does sound like it would be pretty good. Chocolate marshmallow.
-
Sure it is, just not 25 years running. :lol
I love it now that my nephew goes. so cute to see young children eating ice cream. It's all over the place, full of enjoyment.
-
That is what it's all about.
-
That's awesome.
There is an ice cream place here that is seasonal as well. They will be opening up next weekend, and my youngest daughter is already talking about.
-
I love that. We as a family go opening day every day. It's a great way to connect. With my Dad's MS and his memory going, it's a moment we try to absorb with him declining.
-
That's great that you have something like that.
-
We try to be involved with him. I feel guilty sometimes because we live 45 minutes away compared to my brother which is 7. We do that to ourselves.
-
It is what it is.
-
Morning guys.
-
Hey Jay!
-
how goes?
-
I promised myself I would stop drinking my pains away but I lied to myself again. I'm drinking some Post Road Pumpkin Ale...mighty tasty.
-
Just limit yourself John.
-
So I have my first sinus infection. It fucking sucks. I went to the doctors and got some antibiotics and steroids.
-

It does. My wife gets them so much. She might have to get surgery for a deviated septum.
-
I honestly didn't think it would be that miserable but it is, the pain is nuts. Sorry to hear that about your wife, hopefully she does find something that will help her.
How is it going folks?
-
Going ok. Sitting in my underwear playing World of Warcraft with Panda while I watching The Wall.
I'm in my underwear because she is sitting in the airport in Phoenix waiting for a plane. She lol technology.
-
Hey guys.
-
Yo Bloby B!
-
Sup Jay, Blob, and King.
-
Was up at 6 am and now hitting the hay. See you chaps in the A.M. Except for Blob. He can't tell you when he's up. :lol
-
Have a good night King, talk to you tomorrow!
-
What's up guys?
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning!
-
Yo
-
Heeeeeellllooooooo DTF!
-
What does everyone have going on this Sunday?
-
Downloading a new Pineapple Live album. burning to a disk as well as adding it to I-Tunes. Then food shopping. Nothing fancy today.
-
So yesterday (well technically the day before now), I woke up at 7pm, and stayed awake until about 4pm before I couldn't stay awake any more (my chest was hurting and my heart was beating fast and my head hurt and I was getting twitches, the usual stuff). Then I woke up at 10pm and had dinner, and went back to sleep at around 11pm. It wasn't a solid sleep, but I slept until 5am. Hopefully I can stay awake through the day now.

What causes all of this?
-
No idea, but I assume general laziness mixed with shitty family genetics. I have problems with high blood pressure which might cause a lot of that. I've been to the doctor plenty of times in the past, and that's the best I've got from it. I really need to do something about it right now.

I think you should. The older you get, the less your body will be able to withstand those symptoms before it causes others.

I know. I'm hoping I haven't caused any major problems in the future with it. When I was younger I could do anything and feel fine. Damn old age! I can only imagine what it's like for you legit oldies. :biggrin:
My sleep has been so screwed up lately that it's been hard to even go out for a walk. I've been literally sleeping through the daylight, and I don't wake up until it's late. It's a vicious cycle.
-
Hey bud. I hope you're OK. Like I've said about myself, I need to get more physical and I've been going to the gym. It helps relieve stress as well.
-
We actually have a 24/7 gym within walking distance from me, but you'll never see me at a gym. :lol
Luckily we're in autumn now, so the weather should be getting better and better for walking. I enjoyed going for daily walks last year in winter.
-
Just got back from a walk. We're trying to get to spring but it's still in the 40's here.
-
If it was in the 40's here, you'd be melting. Damn your heathen measurements!
Today is supposed to be 25C/77F, but very rainy, so we'll see.
-
Fine. I googled it. 5.55 Celsius. :lol
-
You didn't need to tell me, I can mostly convert in my head. The rest of the world is smart enough to deal with you cavemen. :biggrin:
-
I would like to point out many of your stubborn ways but my hands would cramp typing them out. :lol

I've felt like that lately, also. It's because I haven't eaten since moving out on my own. I have other issues going on, too, but it's definitely not healthy when you're sleeping the day away. I only do it because I work at night but even that has notorious healthy ramifications if done for too long. I'm looking forward to going back to days in May.

And proud of it Blob!
I worked 6 years of third shift. It was hard on my wife whe I was not there at night. We were newlyweds

Sounds especially tough given the timing. Lucky you got through it, because nobody else would take you. :neverusethis:

I've felt like that lately, also. It's because I haven't eaten since moving out on my own. I have other issues going on, too, but it's definitely not healthy when you're sleeping the day away. I only do it because I work at night but even that has notorious healthy ramifications if done for too long. I'm looking forward to going back to days in May.
On the plus side, I enjoy the current hours you're around in the chat thread. :tup
Same here! Though I do remember the first time you and I had a lengthy conversation was because my daughter was awake all night and I stayed on DTF basically just to pass the time.
-
DTF - passing time since 2007.
Wrestlemania today, and if the rain holds off maybe I'll go for a walk. Who knows, maybe I'll even get some work done. :lol

10:1 Blob gets work done.
100:1 He goes for a walk.
Anyone else in? ;)

I've got something special since we've been together almost 24 years. :zydar:

:lol I think the chances are higher that I'll go for a walk than getting work done, so maybe swap those.
Plus you'll get no proof I've done either, even if I did.

Hm yeah I think you're right. It was still good, and it moved all of the season arcs forward a bit, but it was mostly transitional stuff rather than the big developments.
-
They've had so many "OMG" moments this season that they had to have at least one episode like this.
-
I think basically every episode has had something big lately, with Adalind being pregnant, Juliet revealing she's a Hexenbiest and kicking everyone's ass.
Not to mention that fake-out with her killing Rosalee. DAMN!
-
My wife and I have pulled muscles from whipping our head around in shock at each other. :lol
Alright, be back in a bit. Time for dinner.

Evening fellas. Blob getting work done? Doesn't sound likely

It could happen!
Just not today.
I'm currently working on some music I wrote a while back for my game. One of the first pieces of music I ever wrote, about 14 years ago.

14 years to finish? Sounds about right. :lol
Well, bed time. Got to get up in 7 hours.

Hey bud. Talk to us.
-
Was dismissed from work today. Felt absolutely numb until I got home then I just completely lost it.
Emailed my Dad at work to ask if he was still there and then it took me about 10 minutes to write anything.
I'm a failure. That's the end of it. I can't succeed at anything.
-
Does dismissed mean let go? What happened?
-
Sorry to hear that. I know how you feel regarding that last statement. Sometimes we just feel like we are at the lowest of lows, and there is nothing working for us. Actually though, there's always something we can succeed at. All you have to do is look more. It isn't easy, but it will come to you.
-
Does dismissed mean let go? What happened?
Yes. Let go.
I'd rather not discuss the why because it was my fault but it was still barely anything. Just one silly little error.
I'd actually prefer it if i'd had another anxiety attack because at least then I couldn't have helped it.
I was just stupid this time.
My life is just an endless cycle of failure and fucking up opportunities. I simply can not do anything right.
-
Tell them to fuck off..
and then take your barista experience and apply with their competitors.
I'm assuming Starbucks has competitors over there..

Yes but i'm not ready to jump back into jobsearching AGAIN. I want to go to my Dad's farm for a long rest.

Hey, don't get down on yourself. It's moments like these that shape you. Have a few days to work through your feelings and then get back out there looking for a job. Chin up!

I am probably one of the few here that can completely empathize with you. I've felt like that a lot lately. The only thing that has stopped me from going over the edge is that my daughter will always need me. I royally fucked up everything I had. I let my family down. I let myself down. Now instead of waiting home for my daughter's bus to drop her off, I sit in this empty, lonely, apartment every day and wish I could take all of my mistakes back. I have nothing right now. I don't have food in my cabinets. I don't even have a couch or a tv yet. Just about everything is still in boxes because I have no shelves to store everything on.
I tried going to a therapist to talk things out and during the first visit she recommended that I go to this clinic where MULTIPLE therapists and psychiatrists can evaluate me and look over me because I have too much going on in my head right now for just one therapist to handle. She basically told me kindly that I'm mentally screwed.
So I can totally empathize with how shitty you feel.
-
Sorry to hear about your job Kotowboy. :hug: Hang in there.
-
Morning.

Morning!

You still on vacation or back to the grind Brian?
-
Going to my dads farm on Friday. I don't want to think about anything stressful for a WHILE.

It's like I've been permanently stressed for 3 years :(

Hey, we'll stress you out! :neverusethis:

Good morning.

Getting ready to slip from work. And wait fir that time frame for the delivery. Nice out today. Went for a yard check looking for trailers in the yard. Sunny, mid 40's. nice to have the sun hit the face.
-
You still on vacation or back to the grind Brian?
I'm back to the grind unforunately. I would have loved to have been away longer but it was out of my hands. I started my new job in February. I get 4 weeks of PTO a year, but I need to accrue it. Each check I get 'x' amount of hours toward my vacation time. Seeing as I haven't even been here two months, I only had three days saved up to that point. I didn't want to use it all right away incase I need a sick day.
-
Morning guys!
So my supervisor (and I, even though all I am doing is providing comical commentary) are going through a couple resumes of potential hires. Out of all the phone calls made, only one person who answered lives in Oakland. The job is in Oxnard, Ca. Oakland is like a 6 hour fucking drive. This is a part time job at $10/hr w/out benefits of any kind.
We told him we are having interviews tomorrow AM and applications need to be picked up and filled out before hand. He says he'll be here.
Dafuq?
-
Maybe he is relocating.
-
It is a strong possibility.
-
Maybe he's a moron.
-
Maybe he has a teleporter.
-
I checked my balance and I have basically £45 to last two weeks when my final pay *should* get paid...
I was in town and really fancied a big coffee so i went and had one coz screw it...
It was £3.00...
Then someone bought one of my albums for £4.00 so i'm up by £1 :) :)
-
Nice, Kotowboy!
I shaved my dawg balls and now I'm in great discomfort :sadpanda:
-
what did you do ?
-
I took the cheapest of razors and used it to shave my dry testicles until they were raw. So very raw...

What's up, guys?
-
Hey. The last two days I've woken up around 8-9pm and gone to bed around midnight. It's an odd feeling. I feel like I'm wasting the whole night!
-
I've always said if we get the recommended 8 hours of a sleep each night, that means we would be sleeping for literally 1/3 of our lives. It seems like such a waste of time.
-
With the amount of sleep we require to function, I don't think cutting down your sleep further gains you anything. The sad fact is a large portion of our lives is tied up by sleeping, until we create an awesome pill to replace sleep (you know, that isn't crack or something :lol )
-
I'm a tard, so I'll go to what I know. Science Fiction to sleep! What no cryogenics Blob?! :lol

Well I'm not talking drastic cutbacks, but maybe one hour less a night. Just think of how much more time we could all spend on DTF. ;)

Get your mind out of the gutter. I had games on Floppy Disks like Larry Bird Vs. Doctor J and on Hard Disks like Miner 2049er.

I had tons of floppies with games on them for the C-64, both of those games included. Montezuma's Revenge, Bruce Lee, Fort Apocalypse, M.U.L.E., Phantasie, Mail Order Monsters, Impossible Mission, the list goes on and on.

Omg.
I completely forgot about that.
He has not called nor has he shown up here. I am assuming it is NOT going to happen. :rollin
And if it does happen... I am assuming I am going to be conducting the interview. Oh snap

What's up guys. Just logged in and I love the theme, need to spend some serious time here.

This website reminds me of when I was doing my own fansite of Tribes. I had just downloaded this plugin for photoshop called EyeCandy, it would do the stupidest font effects.

Is this the project you've been working on? ;)
-
Nope, I have nothing to do with the workings of the forum. I'm working on videos for myself.
-
Anything we'll see?
-
All of my videos are intended for Youtube, so that would be a yes. I want to make more videos and hopefully make a little bit of money from them.
-
I'm sure you could, man. Besides your obvious video talents, do you know anything about web design?
-
My web design skills extend as far as my own website, which isn't particularly good, and hasn't been updated in years. Not really an area I'm interested in, even though that seems to be where all of the jobs are now (around here at least).
I just do video, and I dabble in 3D programming for games or whatever.
-
That's cool. I dabbled in web design also and it's something I pick up pretty quick when I actually sit down and focus on it. I was looking for a couple of good books but it's overwhelming because there are so many different books out there.
-
I'm ok at it, because I'm already used to more complex scripting languages, but there are just so many components to learn to put together a useful site these days, and so many different approaches, it's kind of overwhelming. Then you have to worry about compatibility.
And I don't find the end result as satisfying as what I usually do. Making games is fun, because you write a bunch of code, and then you get something you can have fun with.

I definitely agree with that. I was starting to learn 3D back at my old job when they reassigned me. I was so fucking pissed. They sent me to this 3D class that cost them $1500 and then two weeks later gave me a new task. WTF
-
That sucks. What were they using 3D for at your old job?
-
That sucks. What were they using 3D for at your old job?
I was working on the building of a new water treatment plant that will ultimately wind up feeding most of NYC's water supply. They wanted a lot of the drawings done in 3D. Most of the civil engineer's drawings were done in 3D. I worked for the electrical contractor but still had to add structural backgrounds to our drawings.
-
So more of a CAD sort of thing. I like the more creative stuff than the technical stuff.
-
Yes, that's exactly what it was. I agree with you though. I always wanted to delve into something more creative, as opposed to just drawing lines. :lol

No. It's pissing me off.
I'm in a bad mood and I can't come to my sanctuary because of this shit.
Good night.

It doesn't bother me anymore. I think I've damaged my eyes.
You were pretty spot on with the time there. It's exactly midnight PST :lol Late night, man :hat sup

I don't need to turn the light on in my office. This theme is a beacon for all to see.

It's... still... here.

Who...Blob?

No, Rush...Limbaugh...

The theme.
Sucks because I'm still pissed off and I have nothing to do.
-
Take a deep breath, man. It'll probably still be here the next time you come to this page. And the time after that. And the time after that. And probably the time after that, too. But so will you. You'll still be alive. Be happy. You're here. You're alive.
:hat

Have a drink or three.
-
It's just another one of those nights where I sit here and wonder what the point is. I work my ass off and have nothing to show for it. I have tomorrow off.. meaning tonight I could have actually done something. Nope. Just been sitting at home doing nothing.
ugh
And I don't really have much of anything alcohol wise here right now.
-
I know that feel, man. There is still tomorrow to do something, since you have it off. You know, enough time to grab a few brews, kick back, watch some Mad Men before the premiere this sunday, you know.
-
No alcohol...okay now I really empathize. I'm down to only two or three beers and I have no scotch or wine.
-
I wasn't going to bring it up until we started measuring, but I'm abundantly stocked with Hennessey. Had quite a few already, on my fewth. And I'm dabbling in that greenery as well. Spring break at home :hat
-
I never had Hennessey.
-
I'm talking on FB to my incredibly hot female friend whom I've had a thing for for literally going on 10 years now. She's making feel a bit better.
-
That helps of course. ;)
-
Oh yea. Long story short... she is the girl I feel the most comfortable with. Like... even over my (whatever Panda is to me at the moment)... This girl... she was my ex's best friend in high school and later on. I always had a huge crush on her and my ex knew it and used it to her advantage. Fun times were had. There was a moment when my relationship wasn't going well when she and I could have became a thing. It never happened but to this day I still wonder about what could have been. After my ex and I broke up for good I kinda tried going after this girl. At that time though she was living in Bakersfield (a good couple hour drive from me) and soon moved to PA and then CO, which is where she is now. Living with her... fiance. Oh well.
-
Never say never. At least it's something to think about.
-
True. But in this case, and I have actually fucking discussed it with her, Its almost better to have her as a friend than possibly fuck up our relationship with anything more.
-
True, sometimes once you lose that friendship it's worse than having lost her as a girlfriend.
-
I kinda wish I had that mentality in high school. My ex that I speak of was my best best best friend for 2 years. After dating for 4 years and breaking up... I found that the hole left from not having her friendship was even bigger and deeper than the hole left from the romantic aspect of it.
-
I know. It's the hard way to learn but at least you can use it for future reference.
-
Good morning.
Jay, the theme will be turned off at some point today. I can't give you a more exact time because I don't have anything to do with the technical side of things.

Good afternoon folks.
-
My issue with MSN was the huge amount of emoticons people would have after their name, sort of like :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :P ::)xXxBeachlyfe69xXx ;) ;) :D :smiley: :D :sadpanda: :-* :-* :-*
And the huge flashing words or punctuation like OK or !!!
:(
I had some regular 16x16 custom smileys that I used all the time. They were hilarious.
Anything bigger than that or animated -
I couldnt bear.
I miss my custom emoticons so much. I used to have a workaround to use the larger icon size for non animated emoticons too. Then Microsoft forced everyone over to Skype, which is nowhere near as good for instant messaging as MSN was, sadly. I'm hoping one day they'll bring back the custom emoticons, because when I'm chatting with people I used to chat to on msn, we still type out the old emoticon triggers. Good times.
-
^ Pretty much my thoughts verbatim.
Skype is terrible for Instant Messaging. the day they introduce custom icons is the day I bring back all my saved MSN smileys.
-

I mostly made my own, so I have a ton of custom ones saved. Skype is awesome for video calls, which I consider its primary function, but it's very basic for text, and it's actually gotten worse with recent updates. I rarely do video, so that doesn't really matter to me.
-
I used to have a workaround to use the larger icon size for non animated emoticons too.
Ooh I remember doing that but i forgot how I did it. Something like - if you wanted a larger static icon you had to make it a two frame gif of the same frame twice and it would let you save it whatever size you wanted.
-
Yep, that was it. It had to technically be an animation to allow the larger size, so it was just the same thing for two frames. I don't know why they had that weird limitation though.
And I find most of the default Skype emoticons are really awful too. Too many of them convey the wrong meaning. The tongue out one is mocking instead of joking, and instead of a big smile, it has laughing. They just all look terrible, and have unnecessary animation. Why does a cake need to spin? :lol
-
I actually really liked Skype for messaging. Why all the hate?
-
What's going on guys?
-
I actually really liked Skype for messaging. Why all the hate?
Because it's the bare minimum done in an increasingly poor format. The new "let's make it look like we're using an iPhone" format is terrible.
Hey guys.
-
What's up Blob?
-
Not much. Trying to decide how much of a shit I give about finishing this video properly. I just want it done with at this point, but it hasn't turned out good at all.
-
Hey Prog and Blob. I wish there was an app that would make it easier for me to post from my iPad.
-

There's a PC for that.TM
The only thing that would make it easier to post from those toys is a real keyboard. :biggrin:
-
I'm supposed to be updating the spreadsheets for our two 5-switch stacks. They want to know which ports are active, whether or not auto-negotiate is enabled, the duplex, and speed. HOWEVER, the password list does not have the passwords for these specific switches. So now I wait....
-
Sounds like a pretty silly oversight to me.
-
And it was. Someone had the wrong password on the list. Spreadsheet is updated and now I can go back to doing nothing.
-
:hat
And I will continue to do nothing.
-
What a couple of hard working geeks. :biggrin:
-
By the way, all of this week I've been getting to bed not long after midnight and waking up around 8-9am. That's people times!
-
That's a drastic improvement! No wonder I've been on here alone. :lol
-
Sorry, bud. :lol I'm sure I'll be back to my usual self soon enough.
-
Not a problem. I'd rather see you getting back into better health and have a better sleeping pattern.
-
I'm not convinced this is better. I've been wiped out by evening every day, and I've been getting dizzier throughout the day. I think I need a new bed too.
-
It takes a while for your body to adjust. I am on this night shift 5 months now and I still haven't been able to fully adapt to these hours. Consistency is key.
-
Consistency is for automatons. :blob:
-
I am surprised you don't like that idea
-
I don't like figurative automatons, only literal ones. :lol
-
I love it when you talk nerd :blob:
-
Hey Zydar
-
Hey there. What's cooking?
-
I just had soup. :lol
-
Not quite the answer I was prepared for, but soup is good :lol
-
Right now, I'm trying to convince Blob to be a robot.
-
I thought he would embrace that idea ???
-
Yep, that was it. It had to technically be an animation to allow the larger size, so it was just the same thing for two frames. I don't know why they had that weird limitation though.

I turn the animation off in the preferences. The one for (music) is FOUL. Dancing tied eighth notes ? F--- that.
-
What's up Kotowboy?
-
Right now, I'm trying to convince Blob to be a robot.
I'm already a robot.
-
Right now, I'm trying to convince Blob to be a robot.
I wouldn't have thought that would take much convincing.

Good morning guys!

Morning Reap. What's shakin' this morning?
-
Nothing much just lounging around before going to work today. I think I found my solution to my moving to Charlotte issue. I'm going to stay in Florida a bit longer but I'm going to take a part-time role at the hotel I manage and really figure out what I want to do.
How are you doing this morning king?
-
Good. work is going well and I'm scooting out early to do the Easter food shopping for Sunday.
-
Nice :tup, I'm going to my girlfriends parents for Easter this year. It should be fun.
I also found a new apartment in the downtown area I'm going to check out, it looks so nice. www.beacon430.com

Morning, bitches.

Morning folks.
Bowled my highest league series last night. My team (and me personally) have been on fire as of late. We've bumped ourselves up from like 10th place to a point behind fourth. Yeeeaaa boooiii
-
Awesome! :metal
I had the craziest dream last night, it made no fucking sense. I was arguing online with Nick about something, and it got really heated. He threatened to contact the university I attend and said he was going to remove me from the school for "breaking forum rules". I got pissed at him, and he was just being a real dick. Then I woke up :lol
-
Just got an email from the boss. They're letting us out a four hours early today :metal :metal
-
Sounds like something Nick would do :lol

You should email back and tell him to come find out for himself.

It was a Good Friday performance of Bach's St. Matthew's Passion, by the choir in which my mother sings.
-
Sweet :tup
Next show I'm going to is Andy Grammer next weekend, I like his music but my girlfriend is a big fan. He puts on a great show.

Morning.
I was in a drama at church last night. I played Caiaphas, the High Priest who condemned Jesus.

Was there any singing in it Hef or just a play?

I'm sure you have a beautiful voice. :smiley:
Good morning. Another beautiful day in Florida.
A little chili here today in NY but the weather for the coming week is supposed to be nice. I'm going to be in Florida in the first week in June actually.
-
A little chili here today in NY
Is it spicy? I like it spicy, but not insane spicy.

Morning folks. Should be a nice smooth day at work. Especially since I'm starting it with some Chicken Fried steak and eggs from the little cafe next to work. Mmmm... cholesterol.
I've made breakfast from there a weekly weekend ritual. It's to the point where I walk in and the staff and customers all yell "Hi Jeremy!". Lmao. There was even a cop in there who knows me.
-
I'm going to move to California and apply for a job with you.
-
:lol
-
;)
Actually, that was half truth. The only thing keeping me in New York, and preventing me from picking up and starting over somewhere else, is my daughter.
-
I'm going to move to California and apply for a job with you.
Are you going to California with an aching in your heart?
-
Hanging out in Cleveland this weekend with an old pal. What a great time. RnR Hall of Fame, Great Lakes Science Center, Great Lakes Brewery, West Side Market, Melt Bar and Grill, B Spot Burgers. Killer. Headed out to see a band shortly, Billy Morris and Sunset Strip. Should be awesome.
-
Heard that whole wharf area is cool.
-

I didn't get the reference so I had to Google it. Then I realized why I didn't get it. Not a Zeppelin fan. :lol
-
Well I had a good run, but I couldn't get to sleep last night, and now it's 2pm. Even with daylight savings overnight giving me an extra hour, I failed.
-
Aaaaand J and I just got up with the band and did Strutter. Killer.
-
What's up guys?
-
Yo
just got back from hanging with my bro.
-
I saw the photos. How was it?
-
Morning guys
-
Good morning.
-
A good morning to you good sir. I'm guessing you and the family are getting ready for a big mass today followed by a family dinner!
-
How are you guys doing?
-
Good! Got to make the grapenut custard pudding after breakfast for Easter dinner today. That's it.
-
Sounds tasty
-
A good morning to you good sir. I'm guessing you and the family are getting ready for a big mass today followed by a family dinner!
We're Baptist, we don't have mass, we just go to church lol
Yeah, our church has a sunrise service, but we won't be going to that. We will be performing at the 11:00 am service, then food.
-
That's what I meant dammit! :lol
Just picture me saying "mass" is a Boston accent and all will be well.
-
Lol Boston.
In response to Prog asking how hanging with my brother was - it was great. I thought my mother and I were going to have to drive out to Delano, which is a small hick town northof Bakersfield (2.5 hours away) but turns out they met us here in town. We had dinner and hung out with my aunt for a while but I had to cut it short due to work this morning. It's annoying because they, along with my bro's dad (half brothers but that don't mean a thing.. lol) were going night fishing. I actually contimplated calling in sick today.
But then I realized I would be the person who would have to find coverage for myself. And there's no one who can. Plus there's a chance I'm going to be stuck working OT today.
Oh and... Happy Easter folks. No offense to the religious amongst us but every time I see or hear some one say "He Had Risen!" I want to burst in to TDEN.
-

Do you get to see him often?
-
Once or twice a year. Last time I saw him was in August. He should be coming down in late may for our Mother's 50th Bday party... and maybe again for Thanksgiving or Christmas... so I get to see him 3 times this year. Lol
-
I'm running out the door and heading to my parent's house for Easter. My brother will be there. No excuse not to see him often as he only lives 5 minutes away from me. :lol
-
Haha lucky you.
I also have a younger brother who lives in the next town over... but works as a valet at a hotel less than a mile from me. I see him only a few times a year as well.
He's an asshole :lol
-
I got maybe half an hour of sleep the night before last, and I honestly have no idea how much sleep I got last night and it's now 7am. I remember having a dream, so I might have had half an hour, or it might have been 8 hours. I genuinely have no idea. How does that happen? I should remember either being conscious or not, right? :|
-
maybe
-
And why did I wake up with "Diamonds are Forever" stuck in my head, Jay? WHY?
-
Idk.
Why am I off of work and now spending the rest of Easter alone?
Oh... because someone made a point to invite me last minute to something and then tell me that they don't want me there and my invite was because someone else felt bad...
and the other option for doing something involved my actual family and since my brother is leaving right now to head back home (6 hour drive), no one has any interest in doing anything. Because apparently I'm just chopped fucking liver.
-
Sorry man, that sucks. I suggest a chocolate hit to help ease the pain. And spending time with your DTF pals.
And Zydar.
-
lol
I'm just really fucking upset. I work practically every Holiday. I'm not religious so I don't care about churchy stuff but I would like to not be sitting here alone after I get off work. It's like my family really doesn't give 2 shits. I have 3 sides of family too. My mom... my dad's family, and my step mom's family. The only person in my step mom's family who gives a rats ass is a cousin who lives in Arizona who I haven't physically seen since like Easter 15 years ago... and then my dad's family doesn't even remember I exist half the time. And members of my mom's family didn't even mention Easter plans until they found out my brother was in town. And now that he's leaving, it's all done with? Wtf.
-
I'm sorry Jay. We love ya man.
And Zydar does too, in a whole other way.
-
At least it was a smooth day at work. I managed to defrost and clean our fridge, the coffee maker, and just do a general cleaning and organizing of the office.
-
:hug:
My family doesn't do anything for Easter, but I always have them around anyway. We just got some chocolate and that's it. I got chocolate for Christmas, and I still haven't even touched that yet.
-
I think as you saw on Facebook today. My family celebrates a whole other way. :lol
And then, RJ took it to a whole other level.
-
My brother also brought back some bunny ears and glasses from an Easter gig he did. I think everyone tried them on.
-
Send chocolate to me Blob. Hopefully it doesn't melt.
It's not like I want much. I don't want to spend Holidays sitting home alone. Out of all the friends and family I have... no one ever says "Hey what are you doing on (insert holiday here)?" or "We'd love to see you!" or just flat out "come over..."
And I am not one to just invite myself to other people's shit. I know my aunt on my dad's side, who lives near me, has an open door policy for family... but if I am not even told that they are doing something how do I know to come over?
I think as you saw on Facebook today. My family celebrates a whole other way. :lol

RJ won the internet today.

Maybe your brother and I are on the exact opposite axis on this planet and it was destined.

I've got the smarts Blob, I just need an editor.
-
I'll be your editor for a small ongoing fee.
-
I'll mail the first season of "Grimm" stat.
-
Speaking of which, I haven't seen this week's episode yet. I downloaded it, but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll do that today.
-
Then mums the word.
-
I'm just about to watch it, so I'll be back in 45 minutes.
-
I'm going to bed so we'll talk in the morning. My morning that is! :lol Night!
-
Good evening guys
-
yo
-
What's up Jay?
-
Hey guys.
-
What's up, Blob?
-
Worked... and then sat alone all afternoon... and then got chewed out as soon as a certain someone got home. For putting away a bag of shit that apparently wasn't supposed to be put away. Seriously fuck my life.
-
I've never been chewed out. What did that feel like?
-
Haha.
Seriously I just loathe holidays now. Nothing but bullshit and loneliness.
-
I empathize. It's rough being on your own. Sometimes I have to fight the urge to do something stupid.
-
What's up, Blob?
Playing Lego Batman 2. :blob:

That's cool. I'm playing an MMO strategy game called Dragons of Atlantis on my phone.
-
I haven't heard of it, but it sounds like a pretty generic phone game.
-
I haven't heard of it, but it sounds like a pretty generic phone game.
I guess. I generally don't play games so I wouldn't even know what to consider generic. :lol It has dragons in it, so that's all I really care about.
-
Dragons make everything better.
-
Indeed, they do. You should have threw some dragons in during False Awakening Suite. :biggrin:
-
I barely got that thing done as it was. Do you know how long a dragon would have taken to make? :lol
-

I want one for my birthday. So start now. I want to see it eating a colony of penguins.
-
That would give me a fair bit of time, but it's still not gonna happen. Unless you pay me.
-
I'll let Zydar work it off for me.

*whistles innocently*
Hey Zydar good buddy...friend of mine.
-
Morning folks.
It's weird going to work on a Monday morning.
-
Morning

Hey Hef.
Not only am I working on Mondays again but I get to spend them with a certain troublesome employee whom nobody will work with so I'm stuck with him.

I really hate the people who decided that the ideal work week is five days on and two days off.

I really hate the people who decided that the ideal work week is five days on and two days off.
What would you suggest as the ideal work week?
Same as it is now with Wednesdays off. Ten hours shifts on M, T, TH, and F. Never having to work more than two days in a row would be amazing. You'd still have the whole weekend to do whatever and enjoy yourself, and Wednesday would make a perfect house day (laundry, cleaning, etcc). I hate wasting a weekend day to do chores around the house.
-
Morning. That's what my guys have and the weekend work 3 13 hour shift and 4 days off. Training my weekend supervisor to do my job today.
-
Idk if I could do 4 days off. I'd spend too much money.

I had that for a while a couple years ago. I worked 2 11s, an 8 and a 6. I don't remember what days were which but pulling36 hours with weekends and Wednesdays off was awesome.
-
I have to pee
-
this is good to know.
-
I also have to pee.
-
Let it flow, let it flow.
Urination dance
Down my leg, down my leg
I forgot to drop my pants
Clean it up, wipe the mess
I left the puddle on the floor
Here comes the dog, he laps it up
He doesn’t love me anymore
-
So I go in to the grocery store and buy some shit to eat.
My total comes out to $7.77 and the cashier makes a comment about it being a lucky day and how I should be in for an amazing day.
And then I swipe my card and it gets declined.
Yea fuck you bitch.
-
Wow
Problem with the card? Or real problem with the account?
-
My account is empty. I'll admit I didn't realize it because I hadn't been keeping up on my budget... and I get paid tomorrow.
That was embarrassing. :lol
-
Jay. *shakes head*
Keep track dammit!

April will be different.
I will not let it get out of hand.

What happened Reap?
Never got a chance to reply.
Basically my girlfriend moved out of her apartment about 2 months ago, we re-applied to move to another apartment as the one we are living in is sold and we have a chance to leave our lease early. When she re-applied they sent her a notice out of no where for damages to her old apartment, damages that never happened. So now we are going to see an attorney and see if we can fight this because it's $700 that she doesn't want going on her credit report.
Good morning!
-
Good morning.

So what does everyone have going on today?
Just maintaining, man.
We have TV/phone/internet through Time-Warner Cable. Never really had any problems with them. But now that my wife is working from home, we decided to upgrade our internet service. So two weeks ago, they came out to install an upgraded modem. Ever since then, our service has been shit, and we have made several calls to customer service, and a tech has already come out once. A guy is there again this morning, and he had better get it fixed, or my wife is liable to filet him, fry him, and eat him.
-
I'm struggling to get motivated at work.

Good luck. Sometimes those places can be difficult to deal with.

My parents are taking me to buy a couch. I still don't have one in the new apartment. I wound up lying on the floor watching the game last night. :lol
-
We upgraded to the newest technology for our provider, Comcast with their X-1. I can DVR 10 shows at once, it hold a ton of HD shows and the internet is faster but boy there were many glitches for the first 5 months. After that, smooth sailing but i won't lie. I was pissed off for a while with the money we were paying, The did take care of us though.
-

I'm struggling to get motivated at work.
This^
My supervisor is coming in 4 hours late. A couple of our guys got motivated yesterday and caught up with their paperwork. Since my supervisor isn't here, I get to work on processing it all. Literally 3 - 4 times the normal morning workload.
But hey it's my :friday:
-
So what does everyone have going on today?
Oh I'm just burning, doing the neutron dance.
:riskybiz:
-
Good evening guys.
Boss never made it in to work today... and he failed to mention to me that...
He had an interview scheduled for today.
So I got to conduct it, along with a coworker who has a shit ton more experience doing that type of thing (she was the head of security, client side, for our county government center for a very long time). She let me do most of the interviewing while throwing in a question here or there. We both like him and my boss said that's good enough for him.
NOW I HAVE 2 DAYS OFF OMG I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO WEEKEND ANYMORE

Blob makes a good point.

And turn off the security cams also.

Oh, uh, good morning.

Unless Jay does not have AC in his car. If so, then take the pants off. The world will understand.

Good morning folks!

Long time no see. Hope everyone doing well.

Well hello there SeRoX! How are you?

Quite busy with the work, other than that life is good.

Hey John, Hef. What's shaking?

Just me, baby.

Morning folks.
So... we are making a cake and cupcakes for a dear friend's birthday (I've known / bowled with this woman since I started bowling.) By we I mean Panda is making them while I clean up and shit. Haha.
Anyways... I had to run to the store to pick up another tub of frosting. The cashier who was ringing me up had to ask the fucking obvious question of "So are you making a cake?"
...
I it was hard, but I was resisting the urge to say "No ma'am. I am just going to put my dick in to this..."
-
I've been told that frosting and dick are a good combo.
-
Woah
-
It has a nice finish to it.

I hate hot weather.
Me too. We're getting to nice weather now that it's Autumn here. :D
-
It's freaking 90 here.
-
*Converts from heathen measurements to real measurements* Yep, that's too hot for me (although that would merely be an average Summer day here)
It's been around 73 of your heathen units here the past couple of days, and overcast. Quite nice. :hat
-
Haha, It's so muggy over here too. It's awful. I live right by the lake too so it's noisy with all the bugs and shit :lol
-
Yeah, that sucks. I can handle a dry heat, but once it gets humid, it gets unbearable. And the last thing I need in weather like that is noisy-ass bugs reminding me how hot it is! :lol
-
:lol
Speaking of the lake, I haven't caught anything. I almost caught this huge catfish the other day, but as I was bringing him from the water to the boat, he broke free. With the bait, of course. :lol
-
Last second escape. He was just rubbing it in! Do you fish often?
I've only fished a couple of times, back when I was maybe 11 or 12. Obviously not something you'd imagine me doing now. :lol I only used one of those hand reel thingies too (can't remember the name, but it's just a large spool for the fishing line). I once caught a flathead that we ate later along with the two others that my dad and brother caught.
-
I don't fish as much as I should. The lake is right behind my house and I haven't been putting that to use. Lately, I've gone down there with my Dad though. Even if you don't catch anything, it's fun. As long as the bugs aren't too bad. We usually don't catch anything worth cooking honestly, our side of the lake is kinda shallow and it gets a bit dirty anyway. I still love going down there though.

I am also at work and on DTF. What do you do?
-
Doing some assistant work at a local Native American museum until Octobre when I start with uni.
Currently translating the flyers to English. It's not quite as boring as it sounds.
-
What language are you translating them from?
-
My new couch is being delivered today. My place is starting to look like an apartment now. It's a sofabed couch for when my daughter stays with me.
-
What language are you translating them from?
German.
Just came back from standing around in the museum for two hours and making sure young kids don't accidentally activate the alarms.
That, on the other hand, is as boring as it sounds.
-
:lol
It can't all be glitz and glamour.

True. I shouldn't complain. It's only until Octobre and the hours are pretty leisurely (9 to 4.30, half an hour lunchbreak included).

It's Zyday again already? :zydarscouch:
I just learned to use a coroutine in programming. It does stuff!
-
I wanted to have a nice quiet night but all of these circuits just went down so apparently Verizon is having a major outage, probably a T3. :censored
-
I just learned to use a coroutine in programming. It does stuff!
Holy shit that is so amazing. It DOES STUFF?
Now I've seen everything.

Looks like his procrastinating days are over, then.

Okay, so it wound up not being a T3 issue. It's an OC-12 link failure which brought down 11 of our sites. Nothing more for me to do except wait for Verizon to fix the problem. Now I go back to reading. :biggrin:
-
Looks like his procrastinating days are over, then.
Let's not go overboard now. I know it's Friday and all........
-
Good morning, my fellow motherfuckers. A joyous Friday to you all.
-
A-Fucking-men.
Got to work on our brick walk way this weekend. Had a small sinkhole underneath.
-
Morning. Happy Monday.
I get to spend my day prepping for tomorrow. My boss hired the dude I interviewed... and has me doing all of his training over the weekend. Usually I train 1/2 days and he does the other... but apparently it's all on me for this dude.
-
Hey guys
-
Hey John Snob
-
What's up Jay? Where is your hetero lifemate, Silent Blob?
-
We know where he is not. He is not outside.
I'm sitting here trying to work out a plan for training tomorrow.
-
You have to train someone? Is it that guy from Oakland? :lol
-
Nah. On Tuesday my supervisor called in sick. He neglected to mention that he had someone set to come in for an interview that day. So at 12:30 I'm sitting in the office and this guy walks up and says "I'm here for my interview." I'm all... "lolwut?"
Well, I, along with a coworker who has 30 years of Security managerial experience (She used to be head of Security for the county's government center complex.) sat down and interviewed him.
It's funny because earlier that day we were talking about interviewing and how I'd like to be able to take a shot at it, and she said she'd be more than happy to sit in and give me pointers and what not.
Anyways... we liked him. My boss called him the next day and welcomed him to the family. I then got a text yesterday telling me I am training him on Saturday AND Sunday. Usually when I train, I train a single day and someone else takes the second day... but in this case I get to take point on it all. Kinda scary.
-
Yo.
-
What up Joe?
-
Nada. Just eating lunch. All is well. Continue with your shenanigans.
-
Mmmmmm food.
I'm hungry.

Zataran's dirty rice with hamburger, mushroom, onions and peas. It was delicious.

Hell yes.
There is a little hole in the wall joint not too far from my house. To look at it, you would never think they would have any good food. But they have the best burgers in the whole area. So juicy and flavorful.
I may have to go there soon.

Those are the places you always find the best food. It just happens to work out that way. The best burger I ever tasted is from this bar a few minutes from me. They were write-ups about the place in the local paper and everything. I don't know what the recipe is but it's just amazing. Maybe I'll go there for a burger and wash it down with a large order of from 5 Guys.
-
Awesome.

I would be down for a New England meetup at somepoint this summer.

Hell Yeah. I am meeting up with Rumbo at the Steven Wilson show.

Don't worry. I'll DVR the Yankee game for you.

So... I was under the impression that I was going to be out of work and home in time to watch the Red Sox / Yankees game.
Nope. someone decided that they are going to miss the first half of their shift....... and it's coming down on me to cover for it.
And I'm still hungry.
fml
-
I'm going to 5 Guys because I am hungry
-
I just had Jersey Mikes. Because I was hungry.
-
:tup
-
Made it home to find the game in the 11th inning.
I STILL GET TO SEE THE GAME
-
Yo
-
wat up dawg
-
I fell asleep in my car in the Starbucks parking lot and woke up way too late. I basically had to break the speed limit the whole way to work.
-
Did you make it?
I'm watching the game still. Top of the 15th.
-
Yes, I made it with time to spare.
Ugh, it's too early in the season for these Yankees/Red Sox marathons. :lol
-
I know right?
Going in to the 16th.
-
I mean, I don't mind extra innings. It's free baseball as Michael Kay describes it, but they're going to burn themselves out during the first week of the season. :lol
-
Ortiz hits a single run homer during top of the 16th. Going to the bottom. It's over. I'm calling it :D
This is going to be a fun season. If you can't tell... Baseball is a great distraction for me.
-
omfg.
Yanks score.
Tied again
fml I need to go to bed soon. lol
-

This is what I mean. It's never over on the first score in extra innings. Someone always ties it up in the bottom of the inning. :lol
-
Now to the bottom of the 17th.
During this I have my 19 year old psuedo sister (my ex's sister) texting me about wanting to go hang out. She wants to find a club somewhere that we can go to that's 18+ for her. I'll admit it's kinda awkward but it would cool to hang with her. Oh well one day...

You only live once.
-
Haha
Omg. Tked again in the bottom of the 18th.
I'm now in bed listening to it.
-
I'm listening too
-
Difference is you get it via local broadcast. I just had to pay $3 to stream it (radio broadcast) on my phone.
-
Why would you do that? I listened to it on the Internet. Just about every radio station has a free live stream on the Internet.
-
Fun programming problem today. Skinned meshes can't be used as rigidbodies because the vertices are still under the influence of the parent bones, so I'm trying to iterate through an array of skinned meshes, then within that iterate through an array of the bone objects and set them to null. This idea doesn't seem to work so far. Hopefully I don't have to resort to creating a second mesh without the skinning, because the transition would be obvious. :blob:
-
Morning Blob.
-
Morning Snob.
I can't figure this out. So frustrating.
-
If I knew more about what you were doing, I'd offer my services.
-
I know exactly what the problem is, it's just really nitty gritty stuff to modify the parameters I need.
Basically I need an animated Lego man to explode into individual pieces that will then be under the influence of the physics engine. Technically, it works, but visually the parts all stay in place because they're still under the influence of the bone skinning. I can't figure out a way to remove the skinning in runtime so that it works. Pain in the ass.

What if you ask it nicely?
-
Oh I'm long past asking it nicely. It does not play nice. :lol
Now I'm going to try iterating through every single child object and deleting every bone, and seeing what happens. I have no idea what a skinned mesh will do if you delete its bones, if it will even let me, but we'll soon find out.

Collapse
-
That's about what I feel like doing right now. :lol
It appears that deleting the bones also deletes the dependent meshes. Dang.
-
There must be a way to create them as separate entities, no?
-
To create them as separate entities would seemingly require rebuilding the objects from scratch through code, which would be a major pain to do in realtime.
I have a new idea. Instead of trying to delete the bones, just split the bones at the points I need it to separate, and use the bones as the physics objects, instead of the meshes themselves. It's a bit more setup work, but I think it will work.

MLB blocks the broadcasts. That was my first thought... listen to WEEI on the Web but they tell you to piss off if there's a Sox game on.
Also.... Morning all
-
Since I live in the area to get WEEI, I never thought of that.

They just broadcast generic ESPN talk radio online during the games.
-
With enough searching, anything is possible. :D I just feel bad that you had to pay to listen to it. Next time, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction. I went to a site that had a whole listing of broadcasts for the game from around the country.
-
I don't mind it. I like the At Bat app. 3$ a month or $20 for the season. Now I just need to find a way to listen to it w/out exceeding my data cap. Lol Last night I was on my WiFi. This morning I will be on LTE. I smell throttling in my near future again. :lol
-
I purchased the At Bat app last year actually, but then never remembered to use it to watch random games. Data isn't an issue for me, since I've been with Nextel then Sprint since I got my first cell phone about 20 or so years ago.
-
I get 2.5 gb of LTE and then it drops down to shit speeds.
Panda's dad has an MLB TV sub that we use to watch games on the Roku at home... so I would probably only use At Bat for these pesky 10am games (well... 1pm your time) games on Saturdays.

What's up guys?
-
Morning Sunday, it's 6 am. Why am I up?
-
While you're up, make me some coffee. :D
-
No, that would be the wife getting up now to make the coffee. I'm the breakfast chef. Eggs, bacon and waffles today.
-
Okay, bacon will do just fine.
-
Apple Cider cured bacon that is.........
-
Sounds good, make mine a double.
-
I need to eat... only an hour left here.
The good news is that I just found out starting the first week in May, I go back to days! Plus, I get my weekends off again. I can't wait.
-
That sounds awesome John!
Hef, we split up a pack of bacon 3 ways so I only have 6 strips. Sorry! :lol
-
Thanks. Maybe I'll be able to sleep better finally. I went two days without sleep before passing out on the couch earlier. Luckily I fell asleep during the game because they are just unbearable to watch so far.

One exception aside, I've actually kept to my new sleeping pattern for a couple of weeks now, waking up around 9-10am without any alarm. Prog Snob and I can both become normals.

I've gotten more used to my new sleeping pattern, although the last couple of nights I haven't felt good trying to get to sleep.

What's going on in your neck of the woods?
-
Nothing here. Just glad that the daughter's boyfriend went back home.

Not much. Just dealing with crap at work. Dealing with another No Call / No Show from last night... and then something else that may be the start of a shit storm. Luckily I was given a heads up and am waiting for the call from the higher ups regarding it.
Oh and I think someone broke our damn desk chair in our office. It leans way to the left.

Details?! You love making a father enraged? :lol
Sounds like to many shit storms at your work Jay.

Yea. Gotta love Mondays. I've actually had to take a page from my supervisor's book and write out a to do list.

Well, my daughter met this guy 2 years ago, while both were attending the North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics, a residential high school in Durham which you have to apply to get into. We are in Mount Airy, while he is from Charlotte. At the time she left for school, she was dating another kid, whom we actually liked a lot.
At any rate, once that relationship ended (as many long-distance relationships do), she started dating this other guy. He made a real impression on me by getting kicked out of the school for doing something really stupid (allegedly under peer pressure, but whatever), so he had to finish out his senior year back at his hometown school
After graduation, my daughter started at NC State in Raleigh, while boyfriend started at UNC in Chapel Hill. Very shortly after the start of school, my daughter had some emotional/mental health issues, which eventually caused her to withdraw from school. Boyfriend had similar issues, although he did manage to make it through to the end of the first semester.
Ever since, they have attempted to get together when they can. So far, she went down to see him in January, he visited us in February, and he visited us again this past weekend.
I want her to be happy, and they are both 18, so they can largely make their own decisions. But sometimes it seems like he is the only thing she cares about. He's not even that bad a guy, from what I can tell, but he seems to have a sense of pretension about him, and doesn't have much of a filter, so he will definitely need to work on that if he intends to spend significant time in my presence.
At any rate, when he visits, it is an imposition of sorts on my weekend, so I'm glad it's over.
-
Does he stay at your house when he's up here?
-
Hey Joe
Heard you done shot yo' old lady down.
-
No way. No Jimmy love from this guy, besides, how would my clothes get cleaned?
-
Does he stay at your house when he's up here?
Yes. My younger daughter has bunk beds in her room, so when he visits, both my daughters bunk in there, and the boyfriend gets the older daughter's room.
-
Poopnaps are when you go an sit on a toilet even if you don't necessarily have to poop.
Oh, I used to do those at my old job all the time.
Good morning guys!
-
Morning.

What's happening Blob?
-
What's happening Blob?
Been getting a lot of little bits of programming done today. It's starting to look good now.
-
Oh yea? What are you working on.
I've been playing around with Unity and I actually recreated snake on there, sounds lame but I'm pretty proud of myself :lol
-
Oh yea? What are you working on.
I've been playing around with Unity and I actually recreated snake on there, sounds lame but I'm pretty proud of myself :lol
I recreated snake back in high school in BASIC. It's not a trivial game to make, compared to modern genres that Unity is more naturally geared towards.
I'd love to see whatever you come up with. If you need any help on anything, I'd be happy to help.
I'm currently working on recreating a particular game style for a Yourube video. It's starting to look pretty authentic now.
-
I made a bomb diffusing game in Visual Basic a while back. You had to match leads in a particular order before the timer ran out. Incorrect matches would deduct time making it harder. It wasn't anything crazy, but I thought it was cool for a language/software package that's primarily used to create GUIs.
Have you guys ever seen the games people make in Excel? Search "3D Maze Excel" in Google. I'd link you, but most of the sites are blocked at my desk.

Never seen it before, but it's well beyond what I thought was possible in Excel. :lol
What did you do programming for? You should keep at it. :tup

I did COBOL years ago... I'd rather take a cheese grater to my dick. I did Visual Basic work for a few years in college and then random stuff like korn shell scripting. I never did any real serious programming. I tried to self teach myself C++, but I couldn't get into it. It wasn't that difficult, but it didn't excite me.
-
I once made a half assed attempt to learn C++, but never managed it. I use Javascript in Unity, which I find really simple to use, plus you get to make cool games.
-
I'd like to give Java a shot one of these days. I hear great things about Unity.
-
Java isn't the same as Javascript (not sure if that's what you were saying, but it is a common point of confusion).
The new version of Unity gives you all of the fancy features for free now, so it's a good time to start.
-
Java isn't the same as Javascript
Well aware :tup
-
Just making sure. :) In context it was a bit unclear, and I often see people get the two confused based on the similar names.
-
Hey guys

*waves*
-
Morning.
Came in to work to find someone brought us a comfy yet musty smelling office chair :tup
And my boss called out again. The pile of shit I have sitting here waiting for him just keeps getting larger.
-
Yo! Training done and left work early. All is well with the world.
-
I still have another 40 minutes here, can't wait to get home.
-
Good morning, seems I'm the first one up.
-
Morning. Just knee deep in paperwork this morning.
-
That sucks, I'm still drinking my coffee waiting to go in. King if I remember correctly you smoke cigars right?
-
Not anymore. When my mom was in the hospital in 2011, she was dying of lung cancer. My mom was a 2 pack a day smoker. I never smoked cigarettes but I did have about 12 cigars a year. I made her a promise in the hospital that I would never smoke a cigar again. It's the least I could do for my mom. I miss her every day and want to honor her by doing this and being a good person like my mom was.
I don't know if you remember, but I got a tone of Boston Bruins Stanley Cup cigars and I wasn't about to break my promise so I knew Hef loved cigars and I mailed them out to him so someone could enjoy them.
-
That was really nice of you, Joe :tup
-
Yea I remember :lol just backwards, I thought hef mailed them to you. I guess that's what happens when you get old :(
I smoke maybe 1 or 2 cigars a month and I was just looking for some recommendations.
-
Age sure kills the memory. :lol Thanks Zy!
I've always liked a mild flavor, large cigar. Not a jawbreaker style but at least 9 to 10 inches long. Not a fan of the bullet ends but Arturo Fuente (sp?) and Churchill were two good brands. They burned even and lasted a good hour.
-
I'll check them out, I'm also a fan of mild flavor cigars. Usually what I do is sit outside with some music and just enjoy an album and a cigar, I just want the cigar to last the whole album.
-
Yeah, I love that. I loved smoking while tailgating at Pats games or bonfires at my buddies house.
-
I don't know if you remember, but I got a tone of Boston Bruins Stanley Cup cigars and I wasn't about to break my promise so I knew Hef loved cigars and I mailed them out to him so someone could enjoy them.

Is there any other way?

:lol
Saw the Kimmel interview with the cast from The Avengers. They were having a blast.
-
Yeah, that was awesome.
-
Hey guys

*Jim Rome Voice* - What Is Up John?
Hef, did you find that Scarlett was a little weird. Everybody seemed so relaxed but she didn't. Downey of course was himself. :lol

Eating chick-fil-a at the moment.
Forgive me if I missed it but whats happening tomorrow Prog?

I go to that clinic to see the host of therapists and psychiatrists so they can evaluate me and see what the hell is going on inside my head and see how they can fix me.

Close enough.

Hey, you'll be ok my friend.
-
Good morning my friends.
So I woke up to a thread of texts from management regarding a surprise meeting tomorrow at 11am.
Yes. Set up a meeting on my day off... a meeting that'll actually take me longer to get there than the meeting is going to take.
Literally getting up at like 4am, Driving to LAX to drop Panda off, driving back, and since I don't have a car and can't use hers for reasons between her and I, I'm going to have to immediately run to a bus stop and spend an hour busing in.
-

;) All kidding aside, thank you. :smiley:
Hey, you'll be ok my friend.
Thanks. They'll probably give me some kind of meds, but hopefully nothing strong like last time.
Morning Jay

Driving to LAX to drop Panda off
This is why they invented taxis and buses. So people like you don't have to be inconvenienced.

I had some Brooklyn Summer Ale last night, Coz. Pretty good if I may say so. Most of the delis here have beers I have tried a hundred times over and the distributor with the rare beers was closed by the time I got out of the house, but luckily I came across the Brooklyn Summer Ale in one of the other delis. It wasn't there a couple of weeks ago so they must be starting to get in their summer brews.
-
Not a fan of the summer ales. I'd rather get a big bottle of their Local #1 or Local #2 myself.

I'm picky about the summer ales also, but it was the only beer there that I hadn't tried before so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised with it.
-
I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I recently had Sierra Nevada's Summerfest, which wasn't too bad.

Logically yes, but she doesn't want me using her car. Its... a thing. It's ok though. I have a coworker picking me up. It's just going to be a long day.
-

I see a lot of Sierra Nevada beers here. I'll check out the distributor earlier today because this six pack I have now won't last past the next couple of hours. I generally like Sierra Nevadas beers. Their Torpedo IPA is excellent.
-
Hell Of High Watermelon from 21st Amendment is a great summer beer. So is Ballast Point --Wahoo Wheat or Allagash -- Allagash White for me.

You're driving her in her car to LAX, and leaving the car there?
Why didn't she drive herself and leave you out of it?
-
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well.
-
I mean, whatever, it's none of my business. Just curious, since you posted about it.

I gather that the two of you aren't together anymore, in which case it's not "a thing". It's "her thing". Don't jump through anybody else's hoops when you have your own hoops to jump through.

At least Jay won't have to pick her up if her car is already there.

I'll look for that one as well. I love a good IPA.
-
No IPA yet for me. Just had a Really Old Brown Dog Ale. Yum.
-
I wound up not getting to the distributor since I was able to spend time with my daughter today and that takes precedence over life itself. I'll head there tomorrow and get two six packs just because I can.
-
I wasn't in the mood to drink any beer in the fridge so I grabbed a Mixx Tail Hurricane Bud Light, it tastes like an alcoholic version of a red bull cranberry Not bad but I'll only be having one.
-
Ok so I'm on my second drink, things are pretty good.
-
:lol
What's up guys?
-
Hey.
I think I'm finally closing in on finishing the programming for this project for now.
-
Excellent. :tup
-
Damn, I just remembered why deferred rendering was an issue for this level, because it gets rid of the fudged realtime shadows I had on the first half of the level.
So now I have to waste time tweaking lights instead of programming.

Is this a game you're working on?
-
I'm making a video of a game, so I'm only technically making a game to make the video. :lol It just turned out easier to make a real game and record it, than to fake it and animate it.
Yes, I'm a strange one. :blob:
-
;D
Nothing wrong with that. That's like listening to John Petrucci explain how he did the solo for Misunderstood.
-
I believe the answer to that is "magic".
Even though I'm not a great programmer, and this code is kinda sucky, I'm proud of this so far. It actually almost looks legit!
-
Looking forward to see it hopefully.
-
You'll be able to see it, it's just a matter of when I manage to finish it. I'm such a bad worker. This is not news to anyone here. :lol
-
You are like opium... a slow working dope. :lol ;)
-
:neverusethis:
The difference is that it's probably likely to work at some point.
-
I do enjoy a good opiate.
-
I do not.
-
I'm debating if I should go hunt for food or just read.
-
Food is more important than words. Unless it involves effort. In which case it's still more important.
-
Effort means walking down the street to McDonalds which I don't even really want. Actually, I was going to continue reading A Dance With Dragons, but I decided to find a book about web design so I can finally put together my bootleg trading/dream theater collection site.
-
Oh my mistake, I thought you said food, not McDonalds. Forget that.
Is your website going to look like 1997?
-
Is your website going to look like 1997?
Probably to start it will. Mainly because I want to get it up and running as soon as possible. As I do more reading and learn more, I'll definitely be upgrading it.
-
Just don't use frames. :biggrin: :P
-

Hell no!! :lol Those things annoy the fuck out of me.

Not to mention they're obsolete. :lol They belong in DTF's latest April Fool's Day theme.

I never got into Star Trek believe it or not. It surprises people that a geek like me never really watched it.
-
What Trek have you watched? And what scifi are you into?
It took me a while to get into Trek, but now I love it.
-
I remember watching a couple of the movies when I was younger... Wrath of Khan comes to mind. I'm not a big sci-fi person though; I lean more towards fantasy.
-
Then you're not a real geek at all! :biggrin:
I'm much more into scifi than fantasy, although I like fantasy too if it's done well. Like most good scifi, Trek works a lot better on TV than it does in film. I enjoy most of the movies, but even at best they don't compare to the series imo.
-
:lol
I know. How dare I!
Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and watch the show from the beginning. Or maybe I'll just keep talk about doing it and watch Big Bang Theory reruns and get my Star Trek fix vicariously through them. :lol
-
Big Bang Theory invalidates any possible nerd points. It's just a generic awful comedy in nerd drag.

I know what keeps me from being a full-fledged geek. :biggrin: Not only is it the absence of Star Trek in my life but I also don't freak out about Star Wars either.
-
Neither do I. I don't even consider Star Wars scifi, that's just fantasy to me. And it's far too mainstream to be true scifi. :lol
I like Star Wars, but they're just like any other movie to me. Good, but not something that makes me want to nerd out and 3D model spaceships and hoard blueprints. :blob:
-
I would consider it a mix of both. I definitely wouldn't consider it completely fantasy. There are too many machines and advanced technologies for it to be a true fantasy.
-
True, but I'm a hard-ass when it comes to scifi. :biggrin: It's fantasy with lasers and spaceships.
-

I'll meet you halfway since I'm the same way with fantasy. Yoda and Chewbacca and Ewoks are definitely fantasy type characters. Lucas had some inspiration from Tolkien without a doubt. Just the location Endor alone in Star Wars is a nod to Tolkien as it's the Elvish word for Middle Earth.
-
Now that I think about it, Endor is a LOTR sounding word.
-
There are enough sub-genres of fantasy to make your head spin.
https://www.cuebon.com/ewriters/Fsubgenres.html
-
Meh, once you're splitting sub genres to that level, it's just trivial classification that serves little purpose. Same goes for music.
-
Meh, once you're splitting sub genres to that level, it's just trivial classification that serves little purpose. Same goes for music.
I think it serves a certain purpose, but mainly among the readers of such a genre. Lets say for maybe conversational purposes or when recommending a specific type of fantasy book. Out of that list, naturally I prefer epic fantasy and even dark fantasy. Now if i asked someone to recommend a good fantasy book and only gave that description to them, they might recommend a vampiric fantasy book or a Arthurian fantasy book, so the further dividing of the genre helps, but like I aside above, it only really means something to those types of fans.
-
You don't need all dem sub-genres to discuss a topic. Obviously I consider high fantasy like LOTR to be a pretty major distinction from a lot of modern fantasy, but a lot of those sub-genres are just making up categories for the heck of it.

I'm not saying it does. :lol

Alrighty then!
There are apparently a whole bunch of police and ambulances a couple of streets away, and there was a helicopter flying really close overhead a few minutes ago. I don't know what's going on, but hopefully it's nothing to worry about.

They're not doing a very good job if they haven't found me yet. I've been right here in the same spot forever. :lol

They're making more a sport of it. :lol

Just so you know, I tipped them off.

Mentioning me in the same thought as "sport" is wrong on oh so many levels. :lol

Morning.
It was hell getting out of bed this morning.
-
I felt the same way. The alarm went off and it was a struggle.
-
Yea huge pain in the ass.
My dog has found a new spot to chill, on my shoulder when I'm on the couch. Lucky for her she weighs only 3 pounds .
-
Not sure I could live with a dog that small. I would be afraid I would break it.
Plus, small dogs tend to be hyper, and loud. Not qualities I look for in a dog.
-
The only good dog is a non existent dog.
Or a hot dog.
-
I certainly like hot dogs.
-
I felt the same way, I grew up with big dogs all my life but my girlfriend kept saying she wanted to get a small dog for our apartment. I buckled. No regrets, I have never had a dog behave as well as her.
We got her at 8 weeks old. She has never barked at anyone or anything except our cat when she wants to play. She is already house trained and hasn't had an accident in 2 weeks and is incredibly friendly. She is only hyper in the morning and when I come home from work, the rest of the time she is calm.
I know we got incredibly lucky with her and her good behavior. She is teething and has only chewed on one thing which was a phone cord, now she just chews on her toys.
-
I felt the same way. The alarm went off and it was a struggle.
It's getting worse for me every day. I spent a year at a coporate company and hated it. I started this new job two months ago (different coporate company) and thought it wouldn't be as bad, but I'm starting to think it is. It's a better fit for me, but I still don't like it. I absolutely hate the office setting. Dressing up everyday, getting hounded over arbitrary formatting of documents, the non-stop golf talk (and I like golf), the 100% seriousness all the time, etc... I get that that's the type of environment that pays well, but it's fucking miserable, at least to me. I actually enjoyed slaving away in a kitchen and dealing with asshole customers way more than this. At least I could blast music, drop F-bombs at will, and had an opportunity to make work fun.
I look at my girlfriend's family members. Her father and her uncles all own paving companies. Sure it's tough manual labor, but most of them are living in a 4000+ square foot house, can take a vacation whenever the hell they want (I guess I can too technically), and don't have to answer to anyone but themselves. Not to mention, I'm sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours a day and spend another 2 hours a day in the car. My heart is probably taking a beating. At least in a manual labor job like that, you're likely to be pretty fit going into your retirement years.

I wouldn't survive a week in a regular job like that. I'm hoping one day I can make a living from just being BlobVanDam. Do what you love, and the money will come, or whatever they say. I'm half way there. You know, the bit without the money. :lol

But the problem is, everything I love doesn't really pay. I couldn't afford my living situation now let alone where I'd like to be in 15 years time. I like helping people, the Earth, animals, and astronomy. Not a whole lot of big money making opportunities there.

Probably not. It's also hard to start from scratch once you've got expenses.

It's tough but in all honesty unless you have the capitol to start something you personally want to do, all jobs suck. Now that you have a mortgage, you are stuck with work because of your house.

True. But even prior to home ownership (I worked at that first place for 9 months before buying the house), it was the same situation. I needed to get out of my parents' house and having to pay for an apartment or condo would have resulted in the same conundrum. The big problem was that I went to college to get a degree that would earn me money (and it does) instead of persuing the stuff I'm really passionate about.

That's most of us Brian. It sucks but there will be other joys in life. Support your family and trust me, there will be passions that you can still do.

Aside from being tired as fuck... This has been a great day. Up at 3am. Drove to and from LAX. Took an hour nap. Coworker picked me up and went to meeting. It was very positive. Like... I was afraid it was going to be an ass chewing meeting but it was quite the opposite. There are some issues we, as supervisors, need to work on with our team... but I was told that I am a core part of the management in the county and when the company starts expanding into the area more (we are the only account within 50 miles), I will be moving up. Fuck yea.
-
Always stay positive you. As long as they see your effort it will be appreciated.
-
Our biggest issue right now is finding someone to take lead for the night shifts. There's really no one to promote up and hiring for it is not really a doable option. One we get that void filled, it should be smooth sailing.

Drinking again this evening trying to make some games on unity. How is everyone?

Not drinking... but being strangely social at bowling tonight.

How big is your bowling night?

Tonight sucked. We lost 3/4 possible points. Normally I wouldn't care but we there was a three way tie for 4th place between my team, the team we were bowling, and another team. And on top of that, 3rd place was 1 point away from us. If we would have played our cards right we could have bumped up in to 3rd. Now we are probably in 5th. The season is coming to an end very soon. I think we might have just lost our chance at placing.

Funny enough, I established at a 165 in this league... but wasn't able to maintain it. 155 is my true average now.
Fuck we need to have a bowling DTF meetup.
-
I always said if I got seriously into bowling I wanted a custom made ball like the Eye of Sauron or have it look like a Palantir.
-
Meh
Problem with custom balls like that is they are usually very basic resin balls. Little to no core. The core dictates hook and what not. No core = no hook. No hook = You're fucked unless the lane conditions are perfect. Which they never are.

I'm interested in technical bowling jargon like you're interested in the difference between Mixolydian and Locrian modes.
-
I love Mixolydian. :D
-
:|
and with that I bid thee good night.
-
:lol
Good night Jay.
I love Mixolydian. :D
:metal
-
Most of the music I write is mixolydian, because it's all video-gamey music, and straight up major keys are too cheesy and happy.
-
I enjoy Locrian and Aeolian mostly, but Phrygian still holds a warm place in my heart.
-
I'm mostly self taught for music, so aside from mixolydian, I don't know any modes by name, except by my own made up names like "Megadeth scale". :lol
-
I love mixolydian too. I mean...who doesn't wanna be a jedi?

Same here. I took lessons back when I was 8 years old and started playing guitar, but once I was in high school, everything is self-taught. Learning about modes became an interest once I started getting into more technical bands. I mean, who cares about modes when you're listening to Motley Crue or Kiss. I'm not even sure Ace Frehley can spell mode without burping in between the letters.

And? EVH was self taught and broke all of the rules of scales. Knowing the technical stuff doesn't make the music better.
But it is interesting to break down something and see why it sounds so good so you can learn to write music yourself, whether it's because they're using some obscure mode, or just rocking the hell out on a pentatonic scale.

Who said it makes it better? I was just looking for an excuse to make fun of Ace Frehley's perpetual inebriation. ;) But then again, I'm not the biggest EVH fan either.
-
I'm just used to prog fans on DTF taking digs at "simple" bands like KISS, and it gets tiring. Ace Frehley is so fried at that point that he doesn't need to be inebriated to appear to be inebriated though. :lol

I have no issue with "simple" bands. Prog might be my favorite genre but my taste in music is probably more diverse than most here. Last night at work I was listening to Marillion and Pink Floyd. Tonight I have on Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller. I'm more used to the fans of "simpler" music putting down more technical musicians. So, it's really never just one-sided in that aspect.
-
Yeah, I've noticed that the snobbery goes both ways on DTF. It's equally annoying.
-
I can't say I see any snobbery the opposite direction on DTF, since there are so few people here who aren't into "DTF music" but this place gives me a very low opinion of prog fans in terms of narrow mindedness of other music. I'm basically here for GD.

It might not be a prevalent but it's there. I would expect more snobbery than non-snobbery on a prog band's forum. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I would expect it. I'm sure if you went to a KISS forum the demeanor towards prog would probably be about the same as the demeanor towards KISS here, give or take.

Which is typical of snobby prog fans.

:lol Cool discussion.........I'm here mostly for GD too and not much into prog outside of some prog metal.
I've lost touch with all my modes etc......as I haven't played in yonks but I studied all that stuff (formally and informally) long ago.
These days if given a choice between watching an interview with Steven Wilson or (insert prog artist) talking about their modes and song writing or Space Ace off his face , I'd choose Ace every time just for nostalgia's sake.
Anyone remember the "Actually I'm a plumber" interview? :rollin

I saw a recent interview about the HOF induction ceremony that was classic Ace. He said something about being out of it because he took a water pill that day, so didn't hear what anyone else said. :lol Sure, Ace, a water pill.

And? EVH was self taught and broke all of the rules of scales. Knowing the technical stuff doesn't make the music better.
Exactly. If anything - having a head full of theory and scales forces you to think from the head and not from the gut.
I found this whilst on my music degree - when improvising over music I'd default to scales. I didn't want to do that. I went for a
30 minute one-on-one tutorial with one of my tutors and he said I should learn how every interval "feels" when played after
every other interval - and that was the best advice I ever got because then I started thinking melodically and could play
what I heard in my head rather than " Oh this chord is a Bm7b5 that means I'm in the key of C major which means I can play B
half diminished going into a C Ionian and possibly throw in a G dominant lick..."
-
I love mixolydian too. I mean...who doesn't wanna be a jedi?

I always play Dorian - probably why I look so good for my age :angel: :angel:

I think it's a double edged sword. Theory can be great for achieving a particular sound and understanding how to construct music, but you can also easily fall into the trap of relying too heavily on it and becoming formulaic.
I try to use my music theory to avoid sticking to the obvious, so I don't end up writing a song entirely in a stock major/minor key for example. It's always the deviations from the norm that make a song in my experience. Understanding music theory can be very helpful in avoiding cliches, so you don't end up with some generic song that sounds exactly like every other guy also stumbling across the same beginner ideas.

I've never been into reading fiction, for as long as I can remember. They had to make a rule in primary school that you had to borrow at least 2 fiction books per year (or maybe it was half year), because I kept borrowing old BASIC programming books. :lol
And I always loved reading encyclopedias back in the days before I had internet.
The last fiction book I read was a Star Trek novel about mirror universe Spock. :blob:

Good morning! Ran to the store this morning for some bacon, somehow ended up with donuts and milk as well. I'll regret it later but at the moment these donuts taste so good.
-
Man I miss donuts. I will not give up bacon though. I've got a package of Cider cured bacon in the fridge for the weekend.

I still sneak the occasional donut.
-
I only have them a few times a year, today was one of those times.

I'm trying to lose weight so it's been at least 2 months.
I'm having a yogurt and a banana this morning.
I will not give up my beer though. A man has to draw a line somewhere.

Alright Jay so I got a question, why is it in Unity when I'm working in 2D that when I change the Sprite renderer from single to multiple the sprite disappears?
-
Nine Eleven
-
that seemed to do it! thanks :tup
I actually did figure it out.
How is it hanging Jay?
-
Laying on the couch in my underwear watching a Red Sox game and debating on whether or not to order pizza.
How bout chew?
-
Working on a video game in Unity.
I think the answer is you should always order pizza. Are you going local or chain?
-
Pizza Hut.
Lol
Not in the mood for trying something new right now... nor am I in the mood for anything expensive.
-
You know what I was craving was a pan pizza from Pizza Hut yesterday. It's been forever since I've had one.
-
Do it
-
I have returned to the thread!!!
-
I never left.
I've consumed my pizza and the Red Sox won. Now I am having a drink... and watching The Big Lebowski.
-
Jay, My first Red Sox game I went to was in 1979. I was 11. It was the day after Yaz hit his 400th home run. He was my idol. I cried all night because I missed being there. LOL
-
Damn Reaper, sorry I wasn't around! But if you need me, I'll be around for the next 12 hours working in Unity. :lol
-
Hey guys
-
One day I'd love to see Fenway. Best I get here is a Sox / Angels game. at Anaheim Stadium. It's red so it's almost the same.
(I was an Angel fan before Red Sox so those games are kinda awkward)
-
Why did you change teams?
-
I never was a hardcore of anyone in particular... When I was younger I had friends who were hardcore Dodgers fans... and followed them religiously... I wanted to be different so I followed the Angels. The Red Sox came around when I started dating Panda. Her dad is a hardcore to the max Red Sox fan. After a few years he rubbed off on me.

I see. Nothing wrong with that. While I'm obviously a Yankees fan first, I also do enjoy other teams. I always pulled for the Dodgers once Mattingly went there. I was a Cincinnati Reds fan for the years that Griffey Jr was there.

Take it to the sportball thread, chaps. :P

Same old. Just took about an hour to fix a silly collision bug. I added a smoke particle effect whenever the laser weapons hit the wall, but sometimes the smoke would just randomly appear in a completely different spot in the air. Looks like it's a slight bug in Unity, which I solved by just adding a 0.01 second delay to creating the smoke.

Mystery smoke

Morning all.

Morning king! This week's Grimm was probably my least favourite of the season so far, but next week looks good.
I assume you haven't seen it yet, but I just dislike the obligatory "make the American Indians look really wise and magical" episode that every US show seems to do.
-
You you're telling me I should smoke a j-bar with my coffee this morning?
-
You you're telling me I should smoke a j-bar with my coffee this morning?
I don't even know what that means, but I do suggest keeping your expectations low for the main story. The side stuff with Juliet is always good though.
-
I was being a wise guy. To make the episode better I should smoke a "Peace pipe" to inhance a bad episode. :lol
Yeah, watching Grimm is our Saturday morning routine.
-
I'm about to watch that episode myself. Finally caught up with the show about two weeks ago.
-

Yeah, I'm never found of filler episodes.
-
We're right at the business end of the season now, so things should pick up for the last few episodes. They've got a lot of story arcs that have been brewing for a while ready to use.
-
OK the preview for next week looked very promising.

Morning guys. It's a good thing I drank enough not to hear my phone go off 55 times last night.
Ok... more like 20. In our "supervisors" meeting, we discussed communication and the fact that one of our team's issues is we have a lack of it. Well... now almost all emails are CCed to eachother and we have a group text thread going. The shit hit the fan with something yesterday / last night... (nothing having to do with me... I actually caught it and brought it to the attention of my bosses) but they decided to discuss it all night. :lol
-
Afternoon folks!
Having a day off and doing a game of thrones marathon. I'm on Season 2 Episode 5. Can't wait to catch up.
-
I've walked more miles this weekend than Blob has....
Actually that works. I'll leave it at that. :neverusethis:
( it's over 20 )
-
I'm so bored that I am watching Phantom Menace..
-
Drunk enough to have to hold onto the grass to keep from falling into space.
-
mind blown

Hey guys

Hey.

Yo

What's up Jay and Blob?
-
Drinkin wine and watching Attacl Of the Clones.
Probably scampering off to bed in a few.
-
Drinkin wine and watching Attacl Of the Clones.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
Please tell me you didn't subject yourself to TPM before that!
-
I did.
Natalie fucking Portman :heart
(yes I know Padme is liek 16 in TPM shut up)
-
That's why he's drinking wine. It's dulling his senses.
-
Actually the decision to drink and the decision to watch these were not related.
-
I think it's the nostalgia dulling his senses here. :lol
-
Actually the decision to drink and the decision to watch these were not related.
I was trying to cover for you. Now you are subject to ridicule by Blob.
He's all yours Blob.
-
:zydar:
Yup. Nostalgia. 12 years since I first saw TPM and I still get a rush from seeing Padme.
I should probably shut the fuck up. Rofl.

Why do women find me so trustworthy that I am the one they unload all their shit on? I've got a female friend of mine whom I almost had a thing with / for a couple years ago after my ex and I... Like for months I was her shoulder... so many nights she'd call me at 3am in tears... We started messaging eachother again (innocent shit... she has a bf) and she's all venty deppressy. Which I don't minf but i feels o friendzoned with her.
Which isn't a bad thing seeing as she is a hug e pot head which is liek a turn off for me. But still... it's the idea that someone may actually like me but in reality doeant that gets to me.
Fuck typos.
-
You're just a big loveable penguin I guess.
-
Right?
Sorry for my drunken raving. Lol.
She also does a good job at turning my mood around too. So it's all good.
AND sweet I found out I can use the car again tomorrow... which means I can stay up longer and drink more....
I mean..
Eat Ice cream or something.
-
:lol
Ice cream flavored alcohol
-
I saw a thing on FB about Ben and Jerry's beer recenlty...
Holy shit my friend just revealed to me that a certain Dream Theater lovin' friend of hers who I would have had no issues being with had a huge thing for me a couple years ago.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
MAN
-
That would have been helpful a couple of years ago. :lol
-
I guess this is when I was just getting with Panda.
Seriously... I befriended her Myspace through my friend a loooooong time ago. Like in High School. And then Facebook. Like... just thought we had mutual musical interests and shit and we had some cool convos. BUT FOR HER TO ACTUALLY HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME?
Wow.
-
I think i accidentlyed the thread.
I'm gonna go to sleep and see if it's un broken in the morning.

I am in agreement with Blob. 3 is the only decent movie of the 3.
-
Jay, if you want to swoon over Natalie Portman, go watch Black Swan.

Nah, it only seems that way because everyone watches Episodes one and two before it. :lol
-
Nostalgia bro.
-
I am in agreement with Blob. 3 is the only decent movie of the 3.
I don't even agree with that. Yes, it's easily the least bad, but I still wouldn't call it a decent movie.
I found it so incredibly boring, and it just felt like it was going through the motions to connect A to B, or in this case ep 2 to ep 4. The last half hour of the movie was just obvious shit that didn't need to be spelled out, and wasn't a good ending to the movie. The whole thing felt phoned in to me, with the entire thing being made up of necessary and obvious scenes and nothing more. They boxed themselves into an uninteresting and predictable movie.
-
But Blob, you were the chosen one! *weeps*

So I think I am going to download and watch the View Askew movies tonight. I made a reference to one of them this morning and my coworker didn't get it. SHE'S NEVER SEEN THEM.

Kevin Smith's movies.
Clerks. Mall Rats. Chasing Amy. Dogma. Jay and Silent B(l)ob Strike Back, Clerks 2, and apparently there's a Mall Rats 2 coming out.

Question... and I don't want to sound like an asshole or anything... but is it traditional for groomsmen to pay for their own tux rental? I have a childhood friend who is getting married in October. I was originally under the impression that the wedding was going to be very casual... like the wedding party as going be in jeans and shit. I can hang with that. Today, the bride messaged myself and another groomsman a link to the tux rental and the shoes they want us wearing. I can handle spending $50 on the shoes... but I really cannot afford $230 for a suit rental.
I contacted her and I feel like shit for it but I told her I don't think I will be able to afford spending almost $300 for all this. She said they'll help out a bit and we can figure all that out when it gets closer.
Am I an asshole?
-
Not being an asshole at all but I'm under the impression that groomsmen pay for their own rental. It's a good thing you brought it up her attention though.

I would agree and lucky you're not a bridesmaid. I've had to foot a bill for >$1000 when my missus was a bridesmaid after dress, hair, makeup etc........
I try and arrange to be busy around the time of any prospective weddings :lol
-
Hey guys
-
Yeah, never seen any of them.
Don't bother. They're all shit.
See? You should watch them all now.
Quite the conundrum indeed. :lol
-
Apparently she, the bride, spoke with the groom's parents a put my situation (I also need to arrange rides to and from the rehearsal dinner and wedding and whatever else. Apparently they said none of it is an issue. They will make sure I'm there and part of it. Whether its the money or rkde or anything. Not to worry. I am considered family in their book.
Seriously brought a tear to my eye.
-
That's pretty cool, Jay. It's nice to see some good people out there.
-
It really touched me deeply too because since my dad died (going on six years now) I've felt as if I've had no family. Literally the entirety of my adult life I've felt like this. People have told me, regarding the wedding, that I shouldn't care yada yada. If I can't make it oh well. Honestly I wouldn't forgive myself if I missed it.

Still more programming. I'm currently programming enemies to only trigger once you go within a certain boundary, so they're not all roaming you from the start. I also fixed a collision mesh so the enemies can come out of their pods without getting stuck.
Getting close to done now! :blob:
-
I'm curious to see all of this. I'm not much for gaming except for these MMO strategy games. But I'm still curious to see the finished product.
-
I'm not sure it will be of interest to you, although hopefully someone finds it interesting!
Either way, it's been a fun learning experience and has got me motivated to get back into working on my other game I've had in the works for years now.
-
I would still check it out. You should really make a game but have all of us as characters in the game.
-
That might be a little niche. :lol
Although a game of Zydar killing and burying hookers sounds like something I would play.

I'll keep that in mind. It will probably require a VR headset though. I really want the player to see the look of terror in the victim's eyes for an immersive and authentic experience.

I can handle spending $50 on the shoes... but I really cannot afford $230 for a suit rental.
$230.00 to rent a tux? WTF
Around here you could BUY a tux for that amount. Tux rental normally around $100.00.
-
That is cheap Hef. Here it's at least $200e, I spent almost $300 for the last wedding I went to.
-
Man. It's been awhile for a tux but that much? I paid $130.00 for my brother's wedding in 2009.
-
It might be area. I rented a tux in 2005 for my prom and it was around $200.
-
We went cheap it bet. It's only one damn day.
-
From what I think. . . The bride seems to be very much a Daddy's girl who gets what she wants. I'm sure she went all out on designing every little detail of the suits and didn't worry about pricing.
-
I always found it difficult to swallow that someone would request that you be a part of their wedding, then expect you to shell out $$$ for formal wear, in order to look the way they want you to, as opposed to the standard formal wear you probably already have in your closet and could wear for free. I get that it's about uniformity and the crisp and slick presentation of a tuxedo (or a bridemaid's gown), but I still think it's asking a lot of someone.
-
Exactly. And I really don't own a suit atm. I would definitely purchase a basic suit for this for $200. But to pay that much to rent one for 5 hours? Ugh
-
Yep. that's asinine.
-

Hey Blob.
I have a horrible headache. I think it's because the only thing I've drank in the last few days has been soda, energy drinks, coffee, and alcohol.
I am a horribly unhealthy adult

:lol Most of that is awful for you (and aside from soda, I've never had any of them).
What are you trying to do? Make me look fit? :neverusethis:

What are you up to? You know, besides ingesting bad things and suffering the consequences.

Blob has never had coffee?!

Nope. I'm not big on hot beverages, and I don't want caffeine.

FUUUCK. My #1 guy may take another job. Can't blame him if he can get more. He's torn so i won't put pressure on him to stay. I'd miss him big time and told him this much but i would never hold it against him to better himself. Working on a gameplan right now.

While I agree about the nuisance about the pollen on the car, the damage it does to my sinuses is #1 in my book. Hacking and nasal drip. Sinuses inflamed. I can do without all of that.

I had a donut and I eat them in about 15 seconds.

I'm saving my donut for morning. I only bought one to tease my cousin with. She too wanted pizza and / or donuts. lol
-
I was all about that pizza until you said Little Caesar's. :lol
-
I shouldn't have spent the money on Pizza at all... so this was a compromise.
About to break out the Malibu :D

I should have got some beer. :-\

You still can!

But... Chasing Amy has all the feels
-
I don't want to feel...
God, I sounded like Trent Reznor there.
-
It's a nice feelsy break in the middle of all the lawls
-
I guess sometimes it just works to be forthright.
Just told a girl to meet me at the beer store and we'll come back to my place and she said okay. Who would have thought just being blunt worked?
-
Haha nice!
I wouldn't be able to pull that off.
-
You wouldn't know until you tried.
-
I'd actually know or meet females.
-
Does that mean you're stuck with black floyd?
-
Have to*
If he wasn't on the other side of the country
-
Sometimes long-distance relationships work out for the best.
-
Tried it once. we were young. She moved just as we were realizing that we were meant to be together . It lasted a few months but we then just fizzled out.
It's been ten years (we were 14) and we're still friends.
-
I've had many LDRs. and after a while you do want the real thing.
-
Technically it was also my first relationship. It's funny because if she hadn't of moved i could have seen us together for a loooooooong time
-
See, so anything is possible. You just need to find that in someone else.
-
Like a chick who digs DT and PF
-
Like a chick who digs DT and PF
I already know such a girl and she is a possible future relationship.
-
Good morning guys, I have a day off mid week right now which is awesome. I'm going to go do some house hunting.

I met a girl who was big into dredg and DT, everything else was not great so I'm fine dating someone who isn't a fan of the same music.

Morning Reaper. I will be in your state the first weekend in June.
-
Oh yea? Where abouts?
-
State of confusion?
:footloose:
-
I spend most of my time there.
-
Oh yea? Where abouts?
One of my best friends rented three houses in the Keys and invited all of his friends down to help celebrate his 40th. So that is where I shall be. How far is that from you?
-
Far lol, I'm in the Tampa Bay area so driving from here to Miami is 4 hours, if I was going to Key West that's another 4 hours so depending on the key you're going to be at it could be as much as 8 hours.
-
Damn that's pretty far. :lol
-
We went to Key West for our honeymoon.
We definitely flew.
-
My #1 guy who runs the first shift and is my back up is leaving for more money. Can't blame him but it sucks. Also, his back up is leaving for the same job. $4 hour is too rich to anti up for this company so now I scramble.
Dammit.
-
Morning

Afternoon
-
Damn west coasters.
Morning. :biggrin:
-
I want to go back to sleep. I'm hungover but I need to do a full house cleaning, wash the dog, and do laundry today.
But first....
DTF
-
I'm back in my flat ( til monday ). Been trying to get the place as spotless as I can as I have to get it professionally cleaned and i'm getting a quote at 20:00.
I'm hoping that it'll be clean enough to begin with that they'll give me a decent price.
Over £100 and i'll have to think about something else...
But damn it feels good to finally type on a keyboard and look at a monitor :lol
-
How was your vacation?
I still need to work on cleaning. I got distracted by Chasing Amy and my phone getting blown up from work. All texts and emails but it's nonstop.
-
I thought the professional cleaning wasn't in your contract?
-
I thought the professional cleaning wasn't in your contract?
It isn't but I had a thought.
The housing agents recommended this cleaner - SO - if it's affordable and THEY'VE recommended it - any problems with the cleaning will solely be down to
the cleaners and not me. Secondly I won't have to worry about getting the place spotless myself.
That's how i'm looking at it. My Dad agrees with me too. Better to spend a bit of money to take the responsibility of myself than clean the flat myself
and it not be good enough and have to pay additional fees afterwards which'll obviously be ramped up due to bullshit fees and what not.
I'd rather :
" the flat wasn't clean enough "
" well I used the cleaner you recommended. Take it up with them ".
Than :
" You didn't clean well enough - you now owe us x + y costs + y admin + z blah de fucking blah "
-
How was your vacation?
It was very nice thank you Jay. :) :hug: :JayOctavarium:
Three weeks staying at my Grandads place 10 mins walk from the beach and every day glorious sunshine. I'm back to sort out this apartment / flat -
- but the thing that is keeping me going is that Dad is coming down with an estate car on Monday and we're packing up and LEAVING.
Then the cleaners can come in and get to work and the agency can inspect the place but i'll already be gone . :)

Moving back home and starting back at square 1?
Hey if you want a job I can almost guarantee you a job here in California :)

Merriam-Webster's word of the day today is apparently "null." I thought it was a programming error at first, but they clarified that it wasn't.

Null and Void maybe?

It's definitely a valid English word; it just looked for a split second as if they were having trouble retrieving the word of the day from the database.

The movie is called The Infiltrator. They have been shooting in Tampa and St. Pete for a little bit now.

Good morning ya'll.
Hungover again. Weeeee!
Sipping on coffee, listening to Queen, and finishing cleaning the house before I gotta leave to pick Panda up. I am in a surprisingly good mood :JayOctavarium:
I blame Queen.
I'm also trying to calm my cousin down (well.. my stepmother's niece... She has been my fucking cousin for 15 years and I don't care what certain people say about us not being related...anyways...) her brother, who has a beautiful (fiance? girlfriend?) and an adorable 1 year old son just lost his job again. He's a recovering addict and has been down in the dumps enough to possibly relapse. It fucking sucks because his sister is already a worry machine and she's having a panic attack. I wish I could fucking help them both.
Time for another cup of coffee.
-
I'M HERE.
-
What a day. Watching a movie being filmed was awesome, got to talk to Bryan Cranston for a second which was awesome. Didn't get a picture though however my brother did.
-
Gee these pretzels are making me thirsty...
-
Morning fellas. Up early to drive the girlfriend to work and in about an hour I have to drive my grandma to the immigration office :/
-
Morning Reaper.
Taking my son in to his first dawn service tomorrow (war remembrance for those outside Australia/NZ).
Then , if they're open ,I might drive the mother in law to the emigration office.

Didn't think of it, it's still too early for me. Morning Blob!

Morning Reaper.
I've done nothing today. I think it's a rule that my work speed gets exponentially slower as I get closer to completing a project, so that my work approaches but never reaches 100% complete. :lol :blob:
-
Kinda like approaching the speed of light :lol
-
Blob's Check list
1. Shower
2. Procrastinate

I only do one of those things in my average day. I'll leave it up to you to figure out which.

Man what a hard choice. :lol #2 or #3?! :lol
So what's going on Blob and Reap? What's the gameplan today?
-
Make it to 5 pm.
Go home.
Enjoy.

Morning. After a week of driving to work. . . This morning marks my return to biking and bussing. Problem is.... I messed up my times. I got up, got ready to go, and found d that I still have 20 minutes to kill... but if I would have gotten up 5 min earlier i could have caught an earlier bus. Lol
-
Do you guys find girls with muscles sexy?
(https://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/flex.gif)
I do.
-
Muscles on women are gross. I don't like chicks to look like dudes.
-
I read that as FLEXICAN at first.
-
Generally the body builder types, no, but she is kinda nice.
-
Thin with muscles sure. Bulked up like nick said.....no.
-
I read that as FLEXICAN at first.
Flexican Americans don't just like to get into gang fights...

Enjoy having your penis crushed by her penis.
-
:lol
Remember, don't cross streams.
-
She's pretty.
-
She is attractive, but right on the edge for me.
A lot of the women I see in female bodybuilding competitions bulk up so much that they no longer seem feminine at all. She's not quite there (but those arms!), but she is probably on the outer rim of my limit.

So i'm supposed to be moving out on Monday. I'm getting the flat professionally deep cleaned after i've vacated but they said it would be cheaper if I do as much as I can myself.
So the past few days i've been literally on my hands and knees scrubbing and cleaning and washing.
It's only a studio apartment with a little en-suite but I want it as clean as possible.
I'm pretty sure someone could movie in tomorrow and it would be perfectly clean for the average person. But not when you're dealing with housing agencies.
-
Hey guys
-
Hi
-
Hey Jay, what's up?

Good morning, whomever might be here.

Nobody's here.

Dave's not here, man.

OK, fuck it.

It's me, Dave. I've got the stuff.
Busy day today. Damn weekends and "The List"! Going bowling again tonight.

Oh King, always publicly playing with your balls. Don't they have laws in New Hampshire?

Goodnight out there. Whatever you are. :hat

Is everything alright? I know you had mentioned leaving because your father was doing better. Is that not the case anymore?
-
All I know is that I am going to my cousin's wedding in a little while and there better be wine!! With everything going on in my life lately, I need to drink like Tyrion Lannister for one night.
-
In a few hours beers and 10 pin bowling bitches!
-
Fuck that King. Go bowl No-Tap!
-
woo for drinking on the job, one of the benefits of working Saturdays is that they are super slow.
-
Fuck that King. Go bowl No-Tap!
I may tap after. :eyebrows:
-
Hey king. JULIET THE BITCH! DAMMIT!

man I am hammered, all day I spent drinking, time to sober up.

So I guess Nick's on his own in future. It should be an interesting end of season.

Plus the Royals are digging in and will Nick's mom show up with the baby? Hot damn now that was a show. Hitting the hay. See you when I wake up!

Hope my sick wife & daughter start feeling better soon.

No Sunday mass for them today?
I hate being sick over the weekends when you have so much to do that you can't get to during the busy weekday schedule we have.
-
No Sunday mass for them today?
No, we aren't Catholic. ;)

Well, this was going to be a fairly light weekend anyway, so that's good.
-
I know, I know. But you do go to church on Sunday's?
4 day work week and Friday morning, we take off to Gettysburg PA to meet up with Nick and Mason for RoSfest!

It's chilly and windy but nice and slow so far.

It's cloudy windy and muggy as hell here. I want to ride my motorcycle but I think I'll save it for tonight.
-
Evening guys! Heard some interesting music from NPR yesterday and finally tracked it down. Now I'm listening to some Oud playing.
-
What's going on? I'm working alone tonight which means I have to do all of the reports that they never taught me how to do. This should be interesting. :lol
-
Was it doing reports last time where you couldn't do it because you didn't have one of the passwords you needed or something?
At least nobody is around to give a shit that you're spending your time on DTF. Although they probably didn't give a shit anyway. :lol
-
I forgot what that incident was all about last time...
Ohhh it was because every 3 months we have to change our passwords. So I changed it but not every website in the system recognized it so it locked me out. So I spent most of the night doing nothing...as usual.
Nah, nobody cares about stuff like that on this shift. As long as I do work if it needs to be done, then nobody cares.
-
I figured. I can't say I understand the whole "work" concept, so I don't know how it typically works.
Speaking of which, I should do some work. Oh wait, scrap that, Family Guy just finished downloading. I'll work in 21 minutes.
-
:lol
A much better alternative to working I am sure.
-
Well it's new Family Guy, so I could go either way on that. :lol
I'm getting really close to finished on my game/video thing too. I'm currently working on adding sound effects.
-
I've never watched Family Guy.
Glad to hear you're almost done. Is there a Wilhelm scream in it? ;)
-

No. That would be a funny idea, except it's been overdone to death the past 30+ years.
-
Indeed it has. I remember they used it in The Two Towers during the battle of Helm's Deep.
-
I remember that too. They also used it in Star Wars, and a ton of other movies. They even used it in Survivor the other week when someone fall down. :lol
-
We should come up with a new sound and submit it to the MPAA. Like the Zydar scream or something.
-
You mean the Zydar's victim scream. We'd even have plenty of sound samples to choose from!
-

Yes, of course. I left out the word victim. :lol

I think I might go for a walk.
Bet you weren't expecting that curveball!
-
I just woke up from passing out. You can't surprise me like that! :biggrin:

:lol And I just got back from my walk. It wasn't a long walk, only 1.7km, or just over a mile. It's nice to finally have livable weather again.
-
I just woke up from passing out. You can't surprise me like that! :biggrin:
It never pays to assume ;) How many laps of the house was that Blob?

I need to work on sound effects. But I want to listen to music. Curse these mutually exclusive activities!
-
An hour of overtime today. 2-4 tomorrow. Another 2-4 on Tuesday. And I've been told that I don't step up and take it as much as I should. I could also pull an full 8 on Wednesday.. but it's my birthday and I will not be answering the phone. Lol
-
I know. I hate it when I want to do more than one thing at a time that just won't work out doing together. :lol
-
Morning.
-
Morning King. How is it going?
-
I know, I know. But you do go to church on Sunday's?
Oh, yeah. My wife sings and I play guitar/drums and sing in our band at church.

Morning, PS. How goes it?

It goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :lol

Is Chrome being shit slow for anyone else? The whole browser just locks up every time I open a new tab and it's making it even more useless than usual. I don't have any extra plugins, it's not my internet, and I'm pretty sure it's not a virus or anything, and other browsers work fast as they should, it's just Chrome.
-
I use Chrome also, but I'm not having any problems.

Me neither.

I had serious issues last week and -no idea why - but all was resolved when I ran outstanding Windows updates (I had a few as I don't allow auto install) and restarted.
-
I remember you mentioned having a similar issue with Chrome only a couple of days ago, so I wasn't sure how widespread it was, but it's really annoying. It's unusable right now.
-
Perfectly smooth here. Oh wait, I'm using Firefox. ;D

No problems here ever. I have more lagging with Chrome than I ever do with Firefox. But then again I'm using a different OS so that could play a part as well.

I've always found Chrome to be pretty sluggish with multiple tabs, but fast on individual pages. Today it's just not usable though.
It's been about a decade since I touched Firefox, so maybe it's come back good since then, but at the time it was getting very bloated and slow.
-
That was my concern with Firefox for a while as well. I tried both back and forth for a few months and I wound up liking Firefox a bit better. I haven't even used Chrome since I installed the new OS so maybe it's worth messing around to see if it is more stable.

I've only been using Chrome for compatibility, since everyone else jumped on the bandwagon because it was Google. I've never much liked it as a browser. Too simplistic and lacking in features for me.

I love Chrome.
I hate Firefox.

Chrome have also totally farked up the Bookmarks functionality with the latest update - thankfully (for the moment) if you look into it there is a way to revert to the old setup.

What's the difference? Chrome tells me it's using the latest version, but I haven't noticed any changes recently.

I wouldn't know where to start - I didn't know what the hell to do ,how bookmark something where I wanted.......
I Googled it and found people rioting over it all over the world and so I just found how to revert and did so. I don't have time to figure out what some geek with a brief to make Chrome bookmarks look like Windows 8 was up to.
Apparently it's being rolled out gradually ,so perhaps you're next ;D
Mine is Version 42.0.2311.90 m

That's exactly the same version it says I have, so I should already be witnessing said horrors. I'm not using Windows 8, if that makes a difference. :dunno:

Dunno mate - although you likely won't notice anything until you try to bookmark something or open the Manager.

Oh yeah, that looks like shit. I'm not even sure I ever saw the old bookmarks manager, I've always just done it from right clicking on the bookmarks bar.

Hey there

Spent the past couple of days programming sound effects. I think I'm done now. I need to finish off a 10 second cutscene video, but I'm too lazy to even start it properly.
-
Snap out of it!
-
Lol Laziness.
Today is going to be another long day but good day at work. We have a new guy training, whom I feel really good about. My work load is tiny compared to how much I was dealing with daily from Friday-Monday... And the biggest pain in the ass employee I usually have to deal with has started turning himself around. I'm proud of the kid.
Oh and
Boobs

This is my last week on the night shift and since the change occurs Saturday, I have a short week. I'm off today and tomorrow. I work Thursday and Friday morning. Then I'm off Saturday and Sunday for the new schedule. I go back to days starting Monday. I'll be working 7 - 3.
-
I assume your shifts are going to get busier now that you are going back to a regular person schedule?

Morning folks, back to work today. You know I envy my girlfriend sometimes. She may work 12 hour shifts but she gets 3 to 5 days off in a row at times.
-
Had an interview for a new restaurant in town today. "Probably" going to have a trial shift on Saturday.
Then if I do well I'll work for a month to see if we both want to continue. :)
Also I might be getting a wee motorcycle to get around on :) :)

That's sweet.
I envy my girlfriend because her job is 5 minutes from our house. I'm already at work an hour away before she even has to wake up. I'd love to have 4 days off a week, but I feel like I'd end up pissing money away left and right out of bordem.

:blob: Robert.
Update ! Dad has said he'll get me a bike and pay for my training if I sell my Gibson SG to pay him back and I was like : :lol Err fuck yeah ?!
I'd much rather be short of one guitar ( I have two others ) and have my own transport !! No brainer IMO.
I'll be much more available for jobs with my own transport. Instead of " Oh - i'd love this job but I can't get there - oh well :( "

Yes, David? :blob:

My Dad already has to pay my rent for one month whilst they advertise my old flat for new tenants.
I was thinking of selling the SG anyway to pay him back so when he goes " Do you want to sell your SG and get a motorbike instead with 1 years MOT and all
the training ? " I didn't even have to think about it. :biggrin:
I've always wanted my own transport but :
a.) Getting lessons.
b.) Doing all the tests.
c.) Getting a car, insurance, MOT etc, petrol & Maintenance...would be upwards of £2,000.
Excited now :).
I'll keep everyone updated. What I really really want ( besides a zig a zig ah , obviously ) - is a new job and my own place - living here near the beach and family. :)
My apologies, Mr Oakes.
I love my Surname :biggrin:

:lol
I am the same way. so easily distracted.

One minute I'll be like "ok, I'm going to do work now, I swear", then next thing I know an hour has passed and I'm doing something completely random like using photogrammetry to reconstruct the USS Enterprise, or trying to find blueprints for Marty McFly's shoes from BTTF2.
Or posting on DTF. :lol
-
I empathize completely. I'm actually reading though and almost done with this book and intend on finishing it before I leave work later on. I was distracted by google earlier.
-
I procrastinate from everything, including sleep. And waking up.

Have you ever procrastinated from procrastinating?

No, that would mean he got work done.

Hey Jay

Today has been an interesting day.. had a great evening at bowling but thinking about my dad, who was killed 6 yrs ago today, started getting to me. I just took a shot in his memory.
-
:hug:
-
And instead of sleeping for my shift in 7 hours, I'm dealing with work related bs via texting. Oh my life. Lol
-
Sorry to hear that Jay. Oh, and sorry I didn't respond right away, I fell asleep at work. Today is my last day on this infernal night shift. I actually have my weekends back finally.
What's up Blob?
-

What's up Blob?
Have fun adjusting back. When I managed to get back into a half normal pattern after weeks of waking up at 5pm, I felt like crap for a week or two, then came good.
I was out for a couple of hours today, so I haven't done much yet, but I'm writing the music for my video.
-
Well I've felt like crap for the last 6 months or so, so it can only go up from here. :lol You were out? Sticking your head out the window doesn't constitute as going out.
-

SINCE WHEN?!
I actually went out to have a burrito and check out a new shop I hadn't been in yet that sells all nerd stuff. It was a good store, but too much Wars, and not enough Trek. :blob:
-
:lol
I remember there being quite a few cool stores like that here years ago, but now I think there may be one or two at the most.
-
There aren't many other stores that sell that kind of stuff around here. Often I have to either wait for conventions or order stuff online.
-
Morning. Getting ready to leave for a 7 1/2 hour drive to meet up with Nick & Dr. DTVT for RoSfest.
-
Nice! Have a great time. Remember to post a pic with them :tup

You know it. Easy post at Facebook. I'll ask Nick if he's start a thread.

One for all the boffins / Blobs in the thread :blob:
Me in the early 80s with an Acorn Electron ! :biggrin:
-
LOOK AT THAT DWEEB KID AND HIS DWEEBY COMPUTER........... oh hi Kotowboy!
Back when my friend lived with his parents, his garage was a museum of old computers. The oldest was his father's Microbee (very early 1980s), and then he had everything upwards.
-
there's a really old shop in town which has some of the very first home computers which had a WHOPPING 32kb of memory :lol
I don't even know what that would be in today's standards ? One text document ? maybe even less ? A midi sound ?
-
32kb would be a few full pages of a text document, or a substantial MIDI file. Last I recall, our DTF avatars are allowed to be up to 20kb to be stored on the server, so it would also get you a small image in jpg format.
-
Did you ever have programs on cassette that you had to load up ?
The sound it made was similar to the dial up modem sound. But for the entire loading. :lol
Programs and games on floppy disc were a novelty on the Acorn Electron.
I just stuck to writing programs myself in BASIC :blob:
-
Oh lawdy no, I'm not that old. :lol And we were way behind on computers in my house too.
The first computer we ever had was an Amiga 500 we were given with about 2-300 3.5" floppy disks. No hard drive in that one, but it had a whole megabyte of ram! This would have been in 1997, just to give an indication of how behind we were. :lol
Our first IBM compatible machine was a 286 not long after that, that we were also given for free, probably the same year. It had 1mb of RAM and about a 100Mb HDD. We used to play Commander Keen 4 and Stunts on it mostly.
It wasn't until 2000 that I was finally given (there's a distinct pattern here) a computer that ran Windows; a Pentium 133.
-
I'm not that old either ! :angry:
:biggrin: I didn't get my first computer in my own room with the internet until 2009 !!! Plus that was my first iMac too.
Before that we had various Windows PCs which we mainly used for messing about on - using Creative Labs audio Wave editors to cut up Presidential Speeches to make them say naughty things :rollin.
Oh and I always forget I used to have an Amstrad PCW 8256. With a dot matrix printer ! :D I loved that thing. I used it for Desktop Publishing and Word Processing.
-
Oh I remember the good times that were had when Windows got the built in speech synthesizer. Actually, our Amiga 500 also had a pretty good speech synthesizer. I'm playing around with an online one right now. It never stops being funny. :lol

Me too. Hearing a computer say the F word wears off pretty quickly. I prefer finding a funny voice, and writing up something that fits that voice.
Ok, it still usually involves talking about feces, because I'm very childish. :lol

My day has been made. Had a bunch of schedule shit to take care of at work... but then I found out that one of the other Assistant Supervisors, who has been out on Medical Leave for several months, is officially on the schedule... albeit just part time. She actually came by and hung out for an hour in the office and we caught up. Besides being a coworker, she is also a good friend of mine so it was awesome to get to see her again.

Hey everyone. Just been to see the bike i'm going to be owning as of next week. My first set of wheels for legal road use !!!
Any petrol heads in ? it's a Yamaha SR 125 :) Black.
Doing my Compulsory Basic Training on Monday then should be ready to drive it as soon as I get insured ! :D

Congrats on the bike!
Just looked it up online and it looks like a nice cruiser. I've been riding for about 12 years now and I currently have a Yamaha R6S.
Is this your first bike?
-
It will be my first bike for legal road use. Had a "scrambler" before this for bombing around on our farm and before that I had a teeny PW50 when i was 9 years old :D
I think the scrambler was a Suzuki 125 ER ??? Don't quote me on that. I'm not a bike guy. My dad is.
My Dad has been on bikes for decades. His current one is a "TDM" ? Can't remember the make. Maybe a Yamaha too.
But yeah - getting around will be so much fun - i've always wanted to but getting a car on the road is just £2,000 minimum...
-
Wow that's really expensive. I like the rules over there though. You have a graduated license right?
Here you pay $125 for a motorcycle endorsement and then you are free to buy the fastest bike that you can afford.
-

I'm not really sure myself. I know getting on a bike on the road is almost a doddle compared to getting a car on the road.
What with - lessons - hazard tests, practical tests, theory tests...Buying the car, getting it MOT'd, Insured, Road Tax then petrol and maintenance... It's just ridiculous.
AFAIK - For a 125 cc bike - it's one day of lessons - then insurance and MOT and off you go.
Also - I *think* I only need a provisional drivers licence to ride a 125 on the road ?
A provisional will let you drive a car if it's small enough, not very powerful, and an experienced driver is in the passenger seat and you can't go on motorways.

You're in the UK right?
Take some pics when you get a chance and ride safe!

Yes ! :police:
And I don't intend to ride fast. :angel:

Fucking Grimm, man. I knew things would start getting good.
It seemed pretty obvious to me from the start who the killer was, but we'll see.

Well, the funeral went well. No one broke down. It was a good remembrance of times past. And the song went off without a hitch. My wife is a champ.
Today my brother comes to town for a visit, and it is definitely Age of Ultron time.

I started watching right around the time Nick slept with Adalind.

That would be the end of last season. That was great stuff. Last season was maybe my favourite overall, although I haven't rewatched any of the show since first seeing it.

i'm staying at my Grandads in Wales and he's away on holiday for two weeks and he has no neighbours - so today I recorded vocals on one of my songs.
Pretty happy with the results. :)
Didn't even need pitch correction !

What's up guys?
-
No much John. Busy Monday morning at work. I've been reading and writing emails, and texts, and calls... non stop for the past 2 hours. My boss will be back on Monday mornings next week so i won't be the one dealing with this. But until then....
*type type type type type type*
-
I've been a little busy today, too. It's a far cry from the nothing to do during the midnight shift.
-
Tomorrow I work my first swing shift in a long time (3p-11p). That's going to be a shock to the system. A lot less computer / adminy stuff... but a lot more routine type things to stuff in to the day.
-
You swing at your job?
-
Penguins make the best swingers.
-
I'm not into bestiality, except for Jessica Rabbit.
-
Lmao.
Swing Shift. Mid Shift.
Whatever ya'll wanna call it.
"The shift that comes between the morning shift and the night shift"

Home sweet home.

I rode for well over two hours tonight. Not all in one go but I left My Dad's at 7:30 and arrived home at 9:30 :D
As soon as I was insured I went up my Dads and I had dinner with him then we both went out on our bikes and I followed him.
I chased him round the moons of Nibia, round the Antares Maelstrom and Round Perdition's Flames before i'd had enough ;)

BLOB! I JUST WATCHED GRIMM!!
THE LAST FEW MINUTES AND THE PREVIEWS.....
OMG!

I paid for my Driver's License renewal in February. My License expired like last week.
It's been 86 days and the new one hasn't arrived in the mail
What the fuck?

Morning, friends.

Howling winds and drizzle here so riding wasn't as much fun :p
I'll go out again later though if it clears up.
MORNING ALL.

I'm heading out into the field for the day. At least that will make it a quiet day.

I hate corporate settings and cubicles. I was at my girlfriend's parents' house yesterday with a bunch of her family. They all own paving companies. I'm jealous of what they do.
-
Not me. That is a hard job.
-
The grass is always greener etc etc.
I can't talk. I've yet to have a job, let alone a good one. :lol
-
Not me. That is a hard job.
It can't be any more miserable than this. I've now worked 18 months in corporate environments and it's soul crushing. The thought of doing this kind of thing for another 40 years awful.
-
I'm grateful to have the freedom to try and make a career I want without a lot of major expenses. Not that I'm anywhere close to that goal, but still working at it.

You've got to find a balance to pay your mortgage though.

Yeah. That's always in the back of my mind. But there are plenty of people who make drastic career changes who already own a house. I'd just need to do it correctly. I'm in the process of trying to put away 9 months worth of mortgage payments.

Morning (errr... afternoon I guess) peeps
I can't stand having to work the afternoon shift like I'm starting today but I do LOVE having an extra day of sleeping in.
-
Not me. The last few years, if I go to bed at 9, 11pm or after midnight, I still wake up around 6 am. I have it.
-
Usual work days I start waking up at 5.
Today I woke up at 4. Went back to sleep. Woke up again at 6 to a text from work asking if I can came in early (11a instead of 3p)... I ignored it. Then another at 6:40 saying nevermind. And then finally up and going at 9. :)
-
Someone tried to scam me today. I'm selling a guitar on Gumtree and I got an email about it asking the condition of it etc.
I didn't suspect anything at this point so i went along with it then they asked for my Paypal so they could send the funds.
Then they said " the funds are in your paypal account plus £320 for you to send it to France. Which you have to pay yourself via MoneyGram at your local Post Office
to a courier before the £450 for the guitar is released. "
They even sent a fake paypal email - which looked VERY genuine with a screenshot showing the transfer of funds. But when I checked my actual account on actual
Paypal - there was nothing so I phoned PayPal myself and they said no funds were being held and that Paypal never ask people to send money elsewhere to "release"
funds. So I emailed everything to their fraud department and stopped replying to the scammer.
I checked online and a few other people have had similar experiences of being "paid" the amount they want plus up to £400 extra for courier fee - which they have
to pay upfront in order to get the funds reimbursed.
Luckily for me - alarm bells went off immediately and I first sent everything to my Dad who obviously said don't send anything to anyone. i then checked with the
local Post Office who said they'd never heard of such a transaction via PayPal and finally Paypal themselves to report everything.
Bizarre old day today.

But was he a Nigerian Prince?

But was he a Nigerian Prince?
:lol Not this time. There was nothing about the actual emails that was fishy. No obvious bad spelling or anything. It all sounded pretty genuine right up until
YOU PAY £350 TO COURIER - YOU SNED MONEY NOW ! YOU SEND ! ME HUNGRY ! YOU DO IT :angry: :angry: I WAIT FOR YOU INDONESIAAAA
Then I went into fraud alert mode :lol

Before I started working in an office, I ran a lawn irrigation company for 15 years. I miss working outdoors like you wouldn't believe.

Idk. Seems like a pretty watered down job John

Where's the Pun Police when you need them.

Idk. Seems like a pretty watered down job John
It has it's dry moments. When my boss wanted to get T-shirts and asked me for a good idea for a slogan to put on the back of the shirt, I told him Certified Lawn Irrigation Technician. He didn't appreciate that. Neither did the secretary.

Just trying to get through today, then heading to the beach with the wife tomorrow for an extended weekend.
And of course, because that is our plan, and we've been planning it for months, now a subtropical storm system is brewing, and there is a 100% chance of rain all weekend.
Fuck it.
-
I'd rather sit on a beach during a tropical storm than be in this cubicle.

My grandparents are visiting on the weekend, plus I'm singing a service in a local church with my choir. Looking forward to both things - even though I'm not religious, I like singing and it'll be interesting to actually witness my first ever service!

I didn't go that high tech. It has removable plates and can hold 5 burgers. We use it more in the winter when I can't grill. I think we paid in the $50's for it.

Dad guessed i'd get about 200miles on a full tank so he wasn't far off.
The only annoying thing is - when I first moved back the weather was fantastic for about a month. Every day since i've been on the road has been dreadful.
At least it's good training for shitty weather though. I've got some good boots, a big hi vis Gore-Tex waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers so it's all good.

I remember the first time I heard the term flip flops (in that context) in an episode of The Simpsons, and was very confused, because I wondered why Homer would have an interest in checking out a type of electronic circuit. I thought that was the joke. :blob:
Not as confusing as the time Marge and Lisa were shopping for clothes, and Marge chose out some overalls and said they had a cute star on the fanny and I was like "WHAT? Can they say that on TV at this time?" :lol
-
It's funny when you hear a term or slang from another country and you misunderstand it's meaning. Here's one for you.
I worked at a grocery store as a bagger. We would have to go out to get the empty carriages in the yard. The term here was called "shagging". Go shag some carts. this was waaaaay before Austin Powers came out. My friend who was the drummer in our band, just moved from England here. When I told him that he busted out laughing and told me the British meaning.
I told him, hey bub, we're in America now. My penis will never touch a cart. :lol

:lol Australia tends to defer to British terms, so that would have always been funny to me too.
Over here flip flops are called thongs, which is probably funny to an American.
And fanny over here means vagina (at least it always did when I was a kid), so hearing it in American shows was jarring to say the least. :lol
-
Especially when a dude says he's wearing a fanny pack. :lol
-
What do you call a thong?
-
Something unsexy sounding I bet. Who would ever eat a Vegemite Sandwich? Just pronouncing it makes me lose weight.
-
Especially when a dude says he's wearing a fanny pack. :lol
:lol We call it a bum bag. Bum as in butt, not as in hobo. At least I don't think so!
And a thong is what we call a g-string, I believe. Why do we call it that? No idea.
-
I thought a thong was a G-String everywhere ?
I guess not !?
We call them Bum Bags too - at least we did because nobody in their right mind wears those anymore.
Yeah it's a bit odd the US calling your bum "fanny" when in the UK at least it means a lady's front bottom :lol
-
Morning guys

I got a lucha mask today by eating a lot of food. I think this is the high point of my life right here.

I was coming home from the supermarket and every car coming towards me was flashing their lights so i slowed down incase there was flooding or a police car up
ahead and when I got to the bottom of the hill - there was a massive accident in the road.
THREE cars were in the ditch and a fourth car was in the middle of the road with it's front end completely smashed in and the wheels at a 45 degree angle.
:o
It didn't look like anyone was badly hurt. Lots of people walking around and no ambulance. I hope it's in the paper next week so i can read about it.

And king - don't assume all Aussies have the same taste as Blob in anything , including slippers.
-
But to be fair, vegemite is gross.
-
I have some occasionally with toast - it's fine if scraped on with butter rather than caked on. Eating it out of a jar certainly ain't representative of how it tastes when used as is the norm. I was brought up on it like many Aussie kids.
-
You were brought up on beer? That explains a lot. :neverusethis: All that alcohol can't be good for a baby.
-
Haha - you got me before I deleted it. I meant that I was given tastes of beer by an uncle as a youngster and encouraged to develop a taste as I got into my teens but I just cannot stand the stuff. Sweet tooth all the way. Ouzo............yum. ;D

Unless you want the baby to sleep. :lol

Hey Gang - today was the first sunny day since Monday so i got up early and had breakfast then went for a nice long drive :hat.

Hey Blob. Hey King. Hey :JayOctavarium: Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.
-
Don't make me quote Neil Finn now.
-
I see you Kotowboy.
-
Jay are you supposed to take call outs?
Yup. Basically call outs go to whoever is available at the time to deal with it. If there is one of the supervisors on shift... they handle it. If not, pray that you aren't the person that the person calling out randomly selects. The employee who called out is actually a great employee (At least I think so...) and knew that I'd be up and on my way to work, and wanted to let me know early (9 hours in advance) vs the 2-4 hours people usually give us (we ask for 4...)
I got it handled though. We have a filler who is hungry for hours and is actually available this weekend... and gladly took it.
-
Morning folks. Just caut up with Grimm from Friday night. Great episode, can't wait to see it next week.
-
Scratch what I said in my previous post. Filler wound up not coming in. I stayed till 730p. That's 12.5 hours... 13.5 if you count the time I got the call about needing coverage to the time I finally left work.

Back from our weekend getaway, and I am DRAGGING.
Was the weather as bad as you were saying beforehand?
-
I hate Mondays in general, but I'm really hating this one. I didn't have a weekend. Victoria and I hosted mother's day. We literally didn't see each other Saturday. She prepped food all day and I did a good 9-10 hours of yard work. On Sunday, we both woke up at 5:30. She cooked right up until 1 and I cleaned every inch of the house. About 35 hours of work between us to entertain people for four hours.

Actually, no. While itt was windy the whole time, most of the rain held off until yesterday, when we were leaving. My wife and I had an AWESOME time, and we talked about it yesterday - part of our exhilaration during the weekend probably came from being thrilled that we were NOT getting rained on the whole time like we expected. We were able to explore areas we had never been to before, and ate a LOT of great food. It was the best weekend ever.
-
Awesome! Glad that you had a good time.
Though the fall-back plan for bad weather didn't sound too bad either. :P
-
I'm surprised you were able to walk after seeing that plate of food.

Sounds like whenever we are entertaining my girlfriends mother.

The wife's allergies are on overdrive. She was hacking all night. Hard to get any sleep.
Yeah the last time I got allergies - I managed to get into the pentagon.

Good morning folks.
My supervisor called out this morning. I was gearing up for an incredibly busy day with out him here, but it actually has been pretty calm :tup

Hi friends. I posted a thread for my latest music. In the musicians section. Hoping some will take a listen to the two tracks and give feedback. Thanks.

Welcome to adulthood.

What gets me is I just don't have time for the things I love and when I do it's half assed because I'm so tired. How did this happen? How did I get so old?

Me feels the same. Last Friday I turned down going to a bon fire because the couch and Netflix was way more appealing.

I had a completely free day on Saturday and spent most of it on the couch just watching TV. I could have went anywhere and did anything but I chose laziness and procrastination.

John, that's me as well of late. I fell burned out.

Time for a vacation.

Ugh. I'm about to go on lunch and then have an "Appreciating Differences" class from 1-5 for my job.

Sounds dreadful.

You need to go as well. :lol
They are boring but 4 hours? Damn that's long.

Hey how is everyone today?

Tired. Work is wearing me down of late.

Weather is amazeballs but bike needs fixing. Just hope it isn't rain and wind again when i get back on the road.
:\
-
Morning folks.
So at work (yea I know ya'll are sick of me bitching... :lol ) we finally have our other "shift lead / assistant supervisor" back working with me. He and I spent an hour working up a plan to put in action if a certain employee decides he isn't going to come in to his shift this morning (he had personal reasons...) Well... He decided (due to his not getting back to us) that he's going to work. BUT at 6am, which is way to damn late to put our plan in to action, someone else *cough supervisor cough cough* calls in sick (again) and it's all thrown out the window.
*rips hair out*
-

What's happening to the bike?
-
It will start and rev up in neutral but put it in gear and it splutters and pops.
I'm not mechanically minded but my dad is.
-
Fingers crossed Kotoboi.
Ugh. So apparently another employee (the one who's mother died 2 weeks ago) had a stroke, and will be out for an unknown amount of time.
Some scheduling magic from yours truly coming up! lol

That sucks, could be carb related. I remember my old honda, any issue and it was always the carbs.

Dads the bike guru in the family and he's having a look at it.

Last week Re-Animator was on TV, and tonight Bride of Re-Animator was on TV. Unfortunately I only caught parts of them, but the thingy made of fingers with the eyeball was amazing.
-
I love those movies. It's so bad it becomes so good. I will always watch a Jeffrey Combs movie or TV show.
-
I remember Re-Animator with fondness, but I doubt I could watch it the same way today. Although I am still able to enjoy things like Return of the Living Dead, so maybe.
Never saw Bride of Re-Animator.
-
I didn't see enough of either movie to really comment. I have more important movies I need to watch though, like Strip Mahjong and Rape Zombie.
-
The wife has bronchitis. 3 days of coughing all night. She's been on the couch so I can get some sleep. I feel so bad for her. I sounds horrible. At least now she got diagnosed and has the medication for it.

I agree with that. I married a red head. She burns up like a vampire in the sun.

So the highlight of my day so far is getting bird shit all over my hand.
But. New BTBAM song releasing and new Nikon camera coming in the mail today should make up for the early misfortune this morning :tup

Well the thing is, I'm at work.
Which is the best place to fap. But I haven't done it

Did you just put your hand in it or was it airborne? FlyingBIZKIT vs FlyingBIRDZSHIT sounds a lot more interezting.

Lol.
She is actually really nice. Her son's vehicle is parked in a spot, off of my property which I can still see... and she asked if I could call her if I see her son's car getting towed. lol

Evening fellas. Just watched the finale episode of this season of Grimm. . . .
-
Just finished watching it myself. It was ok. A lot happened and changed, and they've kind of cleared the slate in recent episodes, and it will be interesting to see what they'll do with that next season, but I didn't find this season finale as good as last season's.

Neat. I'd love to get into film making, but it requires money, and leaving the house, and people.

True dynamic range is good, otherwise your images turn out looking like Jay's. :neverusethis:

Pretty sure she's dead. They've got her corpse. They can make sure. :lol
Was the group outside of Nick's house related to the group that wanted to recruit Trouble last time? Wasn't sure if it was the same woman. Don't really care at this point, since they didn't do anything yet.
They set up a clean start for next season, but didn't really leave anything hanging that I'm waiting to see resolved like last season. At least they gave one line to acknowledge that the kid had grown 5 years.
I don't know, the end of this season kind of tapered off for me.

You always look so happy in your photos!
iPhones take really good automatic photos, but I hate the complete lack of photographic control they have. Last I looked into it, even apps didn't have access to the low level functions.

Of course not. But we'll have to wait until next season to see who steps in.

They do have an option so you can choose to focus on the foreground or background.
I've been testing that quite recently.

I use that feature whenever I take photos (I have an old iPhone 4S I was given). It's a nice way of handling automatic exposure and focus for the average user, but it's not a pro solution by any stretch. But that sums up Apple in general. :P
-
Yeah nobody uses Logic or anything ;)
-
I did say in general. ;)
Apple doesn't typically base their decisions on flexibility and power, especially when it comes to hardware and operating systems. Which makes them kryptonite to a power user like me. :blob:

How much RAM you got? Unless you've got a lot of tabs open, that shouldn't be too RAM hungry.
I've got 16gb in my machine, which is usually fine, unless I'm doing really heavy graphics work, then it still cries. :lol

I have 4GB installed. I want to put in as much as possible.
It's got 4 slots and I *think* you can put 16GB in maximum.

Unless your computer is ancient, it should handle 16gb. My computer can take up to 32gb, but I only went with 16gb when I built it. I've still got 2 slots free for the extra if I need it.
My laptop has 4gb, and that feels pretty sluggish too. You'd think 4gb could handle a basic browser, huh? :lol

I never liked the RTD era until Capaldi.
When I found out he was the new Dr - I made a point of watching an entire series because Capaldi is so awesome.
All the Matt Smith fans were like :( who's this old man ? And I was like :D Peter Capaldi ? As Doctor Who ? Fantastic !!!
-
The RTD era ended with series 4. I can hardly watch it these days, the Moffat era is so much better.
-
Well, I meant the current incarnation of Dr.Who that started with Russell T. Davies.
So Chris Ecclestone til now basically.

Ah ok. You could have just said the modern series.

Insomnia struck again. I've been awake since 3:00 am and now that it's time to shower for work, I'm sleepy enough to return to bed.

Sounds like me. After years of working late I'm firing on all cylinders at midnight , generally go to bed around 1am-2am (or later) , stay awake until around 5.30am ,nod off and the little bloke comes down to wake us up at 6am ::) I might get an hour or two after that if I'm lucky. Then I hit a massive wall around 4-5pm and the second wind kicks in around 11pm .

A food so bad, it requires strict instructions to even make it edible. :lol I love that 95% of video on Youtube about Vegemite, also have the word "challenge" in the title, and I've literally only seen one video where someone actually liked it at all.
-
Vegemite is delicious. I had it on toast this morning for breakfast. If you don't get the butter to Vegemite ratio right, you're gonna have a bad time.

Exactly . Using your logic Blob you would never put salt in a soup or tomato sandwich etc....because the whole container of salt consumed in some Japanese game show style challenge tastes like crap. ;D

Ah no, I've only ever tried it "correctly", and it's not good.
The only reason Australians eat it is because of our desperate need to assert a national identity, even though like everything else we have, we stole it from another country. We were born a nation of thieves, and we will die a nation of thieves.

We're probably the one house in the country that doesn't, so Summer is unbearable, at least in my room with the computer. We're almost in Winter at the moment though, so it's beautiful weather. So beautiful that I even leave the house to go for walks.

If I had that setup, I'd be so damn fit. I actually have been looking at standing desks like that (minus the treadmill), but I don't have any money, and making money requires sitting in front of the computer. That's why I try to at least have the occasional walk.

Walks are for pussies. This is me right now.

Holy shit Keith Urban is NZ born. That's sweet. I rate him as a singer and guitarist after seeing him do a version of de Beatles 'Don't Let Me Down' with John Mayer, his solos shat all over Johns.

Nice! I appreciate a really good coffee. I had one today at Uni; the baristas there are usually awesome because they're all fucking hipsters, but today's was shit, which is an anomaly. Made me realise how much I appreciate a really good coffee. I hope you make a really good coffee, KTB.

Good ad but is it just me that sighs a little whenever it's BTTF related and the Delorean is in there too ?
-
You lost me.
-
Coz it was destroyed in the film. But they always put it in. It's just to show off that they have one.
-
And Doc also got married to some woman from the old west and cranked out two dweeb kids and flew a train. Nobody wants to see any of that! :lol
It's an ad. It's not supposed to be canon to after the movies, it's supposed to advertise the cool stuff, which obviously includes the Delorean, which is a feature of the game they're advertising. A BTTF ad without the Delorean is like Doctor Who without the TARDIS. And was he even supposed to be the Doc in that ad?
-
Coz it was destroyed in the film. But they always put it in. It's just to show off that they have one.
Nope, there are now an infinite number of Deloreans. Hell, there were two within a few miles of each other at one point in BTTF3. That was always one of my biggest gripes.
Doc gets hit by lightning and goes back to the old west.
Doc hides Delorean in cave.
In the future, Marty uses the Delorean from the cave to go and rescue Doc in the old west.
Marty rips fuel line upon getting to the old west.
Neither of them think to borrow the fuel line off the Delorean that Doc just recently hid.

Probably because that's a bad idea due to causality. If you rip the fuel line out in 1885, how can Marty use it in 1955?
The movie is far from perfect where it comes to time travel, but that one makes sense.

No way! Doc left himself a list of 1950's era parts that could be used to repair the time circuits that were fried when he got hit by the lightning. I'm pretty sure adding a "p.s. You need a new fuel line" at the bottom of the parts list would not have disrupted things too much. It would have probably been the easiest repair.

Whether or not it's doable is largely irrelevant, because it's still a change to the timeline and an unnecessary risk (unless they had been stuck for a while and had no alternative but to change the timeline anyway). It creates a new paradox loop, because changing the instructions to 1955 Doc is reliant on Marty already being there to change it. The paradox might sort itself out after a few iterations, it's hard to know with how loose they played the time travel, but it's not a good idea.
And it's also kind of hard to judge how difficult it would have been to repair that problem in 1955 given that what they call the fuel line was completely wrong. :lol
Not to mention that it's a movie, and if it was allowed, then there's no movie!

I'm sure as hell there.
Our well pump went out, so we're going to switch to city water. Already have a hookup for it in the basement, since it's already running out to the apartment, so the switchover will be a hell of a lot cheaper than the $1300 to fix the well pump and less hassles, aside from the monthly bill we'll now have to pay. This comes at the same time we're having the fish pond cleaned. They'll put the fish in a holding tank, drain it, pressure wash everything, straighten everything up, refill it, and put the fish back in. Before when they'd done this, they'd used part well water and part dechlorinated city water (from the apartment). Now they're going to have to use ALL city water.
The charge is listed on American Water's website as $1.0214 for every 100 gallons of water. The pond is about 2100 gallons. So last night, I inadvertently divide 2100 by 10 (NOT 100 as I should have) and determined it was going to cost $214 to fill the pond. WTF???? Mrs. C. was understandably not pleased with this whatsoever, as she was a little hesitant about switching to city water anyway.
Through much back and forth today, I saw where my error lay and that it will actually only cost about $21 to fill the pond.
Just fucking NOT with it today.

So i've probably got this job "If I want it". I'm sure i'll accept it since I don't want to claim welfare because as i've mentioned ample times before - it's soul crushing.
Also - it's in my hometown and i'll be near to family if I have a bad day I can go and hang out with them and talk it over.
If it's too stressful - it's only 4 hours a day so it's almost over anyway. 4 hour shifts at Starbucks were over in a flash.
I have my new bike so getting in and out of work will be fun at least. :)
Plus it's also a live music venue in the evenings so that should be fun :D
-
That sounds cool! What would you be doing?

Small cafe :)

First training day on my new job at the small cafe in town :)
Was pretty laid back and fun. Nothing i'm not familiar with !
Because the cafe also has a live music venue in the basement - the manager took me aside and said because I have an HND in music on my CV ( Resume ) - that it would be good if i'd help out with the open mic nights and stuff ! :D
Sounds like it'll be a fun job and once I get my own place and my bike back on the road - I might *actually* be a happy KB !
- - - - - GO BACK TO CHATTING ABOUT HOW OLD HEF IS - - - - -

That sounds like it will be a great job for you, Kotowboy. :tup
But not as great as hef's oldness.

I feel better now.
I'm glad I can help.

Well, I've started listening to the new (well, new to me, it was released in September 2013, after my mission started) Dream Theater Album. I was trying to figure out what it was called, but all I got was Dream Theater... Then I found out it was a self-titled album. I wasn't expecting that. It's got some pretty sweet stuff on it so far.
-
Yes, it's a really good album.

I just came back from a theater production of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and man, was it stunning. Rarely have I seen something as powerful, in any medium.

Yeah, it's all in Unity. Those two games are actually the only things I've made so far. I'm hoping I can make some more videos more quickly now that I have the basic code in place.
-
Where did you learn the coding or did you google as you went along?

I've done a lot of misc programming over the years, so I already knew the basics of coding, and the rest I learned either by looking at their demo projects or searching the help files, or if all else fails, Googling it.

Ouch. You ok?
Speaking of accidents, I'm listening to the radio and they played The Rooster.
My first car accident happened about 6 years ago. Ex's truck totaled. I came within like an inch of probably getting killed. The Rooster was playing on the stereo when it happened. Hearing the song now causes like a PTSD affect. I am working on mentally talking my self down from a panic attack.

it is time for daily dose of " Kotowboy talks about himself for a while ".
IN TODAY'S EPISODE :
" Kotowboy drives to work ! "
Today was the first day driving my bike to work. It's not running perfectly but it's better and it gets me there. I had no other choice today as it's Sunday and there's no buses on Sunday's ( today ) or Bank Holidays ( tomorrow ).
At worst i can get the bus to work on Tuesday and Fridays and Bike it in on Sundays. :)
The visibility was shocking this morning though !! :o Drizzle and fog. Could barely see out of my visor so was crawling along in my waterproof trousers and hi vis gore tex jacket ;D ;D
Good day at work though. because the cafe is also a live music venue in the evenings - after work - the boss and I jammed on two acoustics for a little while :P
First job ever I actually get my tips, too ! :corn
Morning All.
THE END
-
I am jealous Kotow.
I am so fed up with my place of employment that I'd probably quit if I had another place to go.
It's going to a busy ass day here. There was a lot of shit that happened yesterday which I need to follow up on, but first I need to wake the hell up.
I was out late last night bowling. Last night was the final night that my bowling alley was going to be open... so naturally I was there.
-
Okay.
Residents of my favourite internet forum (and I frequent two others, so this is by no means a meaningless distinction), I am in need of advice.
My dad manages a choir, and he asked me to do some standing around and handing out flyers with a friend over the weekend. We'd hand out flyers on Saturday, Sunday and Monday evening, in the city - that was the plan.
He asked me to e-Mail the times when we should be on location to the friend that was supposed to join me, and I did.
Then, yesterday, I turn up with the flyers, ready to divide them between the two of us, but he's nowhere to be seen. After being annoyed for a while, I'm also happy, because that means that I can keep the money to myself that we are getting paid - it's 25€ per giving-out-flyer-session.
So I come home after finishing, and I find an e-Mail from my friend saying that he was wondering when I was going to get around to sending him the times when we should do the flyer thing - turns out I had a typo in the mail that I sent him and he never got it.
Now, here's my question: what do about the money? I mean, I did do all the work alone, but it's not like he wouldn't have been there - it was my fault that he couldn't come because he had no idea of time and place.
I was thinking of offering him a 10€ - 15€ split for yesterday, do you guys think that that's fair? What would you suggest?
-
While it's true that it's your fault apparently, it seems a little odd to pay him very much for work he didn't actually do.
-
Morning peeps. Wound up going into work at 3 am. This is gonna be a long day.

Yeah, that was my dilemma.
We ended up splitting it 18€ - 7€, which we're both okay with. I am now happy that I started negotations low. :P

It's been a long time since I've seen them myself. They never play them on TV anymore. I saw Die Hard for the gazzillion time last night. I couldn't help myself. I've always got to see the part when he's on the radio band and tells them, "What do you think I'm doing? Ordering a fucking pizza lady?!" :lol
I just love that part.

Yup. Sunday was an all day benefit show for Randy, a legend in the local musical community. The guy is known by EVERYBODY in the music scene around here, ran a guitar shop for many years, and has just been through surgery for bile duct cancer. While the docs thought it was all contained there and taken care of by the surgery, his lymph system has tested positive and he'll be undergoing chemo. So the benefit on Saturday had a 8 bands all donating their time, raffles, food, etc. all for the benefit of this guy we all love. It was a spectacular day, Randy showed up and stayed all day, despite being a little weak, the guy was a trooper and hung out and rocked with the rest of us. They raised $9,000+ on Sunday. Additionally, they're over $13,000 in donations on the GoFundMe account they set up for him, as well. So it was a great, albeit emotional, day.
Then yesterday, we hung around the pool, drank some more, and grilled. Perfect weather both days.
[rant]I understand that Memorial Day is a special vet-centric day and I appreciate that. What I don't appreciate is seeing borderline condescending memes on Facebook reminding me that it isn't National BBQ Day. I know what the day is for. I don't need anybody's self-important lectures as to the reason we celebrate Memorial Day. Sorry if I want to grill shit to celebrate the freedom that others fought for me to enjoy.[/rant]
-
It's great that the music community was able to come together and help one of their own.
Also, I agree with you about the Memorial Day thing.
-
I agree with hef on agreeing with Cozmo, and also ditto on the other bit.
-
I agree with Blob being broke.
-
:lol :getoffmylawn:
-
I think I will be buying the business from them this year.
Nice!
Americans, did you have a nice Memorial Day yesterday?
I was at work for 14 goddamn hours.
So no. I did not. :lol
-
Sorry dude.
I almost feel bad for having beer, cigars, and a wonderful meal for the family consisting of NY Strips (medium to medium rare) and shrimp on the grill and baked potatoes glistening with butter.
Almost.
-
Well I did enjoy pizza last night at like midnight so It wasn't all bad...
-
Now you tell me you had shrimp on the grill and the potatoes all buttered up in a tin?!
You jerk. :lol That sounds awesome.
-
It was wonderful.
-
If it makes you feel any better, King. I only made grilled shrimp tacos, chili verde, and grilled veggie-kabobs and washed it down with Negra Modelo. We weren't quite awesome enough to have steak and cigars. :-[
Nonetheless, it was a great day that started with a decent round of golf!
-
Well the wifey made homemade pizza when I got home. The topping were Al Fresco Italian meatballs sliced, with marinated artichokes and roasted red peppers so I didn't suffer. :lol
-
:tup
Do you ever grill your pizza? Pod-Jr makes a mean grilled pizza...I haven't quite mastered the technique so I have to rely on him coming home for the weekend during the summer.
-
Yes we do. Though, If I fire up the grill it's Chicken kaboos, kielbasi or burgers. Looks like next week's food list. :lol
-
Well the wifey made homemade pizza when I got home. The topping were Al Fresco Italian meatballs sliced, with marinated artichokes and roasted red peppers so I didn't suffer. :lol

Hey, that sounds great too!

I like to take a naan bread - put some ketchup and BBQ sauce on it then some ham on it. Then cheese and cherry tomatoes. Then grill it for ten mins. Delicious.

Memorial day consisted of visiting graves around rural southern Utah, eating lunch at a sushi buffet, and getting a new suit. It was a pretty good day.
-
I did 3.5 hours voluntary work at a charity shop , had a root canal then went to my work and had a free coffee and played music on two guitars with the manager :)
The tenderness is dying down now so hopefully I can sleep tonight and enjoy my two days off. :)
... Oh and I bought the complete SPACED boxset from the charity shop.
3 discs for £3. Not bad. :)
-
After a week, the snow in Brian Head has been replaced by rain. Summer is coming.
Scratch that, now it's hail.

Gray. Not very dark, not very light, pretty much right down the middle.

Do you gents buy off the rack or go to a tailor? If so, where?
I noticed last week that I don't have a black suit that either fits me or isn't horribly out of style (4 buttons :\ ). If I don't want to wear gray for my daughter's wedding, I'm going to need to buy a black suit off the rack somewhere since my tailor is too swamped for the next few months.
I'm not a big fan of the 'pay for the name' type stores, plus I'm no longer young anymore, so places like Hugo Boss are right out. What do you think, larger department store or the Mens' Wearhouse or something?
-
Good morning everyone!
I need to go out and buy a new suit. . .
-
$500 gone Reap with a whole suit or just a jacket and slacks?
-
What do you think, larger department store or the Mens' Wearhouse or something?
I would think Mens Wearhouse.
-
$500 gone Reap with a whole suit or just a jacket and slacks?
I have shoes but I'll pick up a jacket, pants, and shirt.
-
So high $300 to a little over $400. Men's Warehouse is a little expensive but they do it right.
-
JOSEPH A. BANK
-
JOSEPH A. BANK
IS OWNED BY THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE
JAB, also is similarly priced as their parent company yet only sells their own designs which can be a little samey.
I've been browsing the websites and it's making me more and more willing to put pressure on Roberto (my tailor). He literally charges no more than most of these manufactured suits (unless you pick a sale item) and once you pay their alterations people to fit it...it may cost more.
I think I'll call him.
-
I wasn't suggesting going there, I just wanted to post it like they say it in the commercials.

It's all good. I figured we were just having a bit of fun. This is the chat thread after all. :biggrin:

Yep. It occurred to me after the fact that it looked like I was endorsing JAB. I've never even been there. :lol

I've been in there, years ago. I bought my first Tuxedo from them (which actually cost less than renting one...less than 200 bucks if I remember right) and I heard no end to it from my brothers. The fuckin' snobs. :lol

Proud Papa! Here is my daughter playing trumpet at her very first school band concert from Tuesday night. She is in sixth grade, and I am thankful that she attends the only school in the area that ISN'T cutting the arts. She is second from the right. The piece was composed by two other students.

That was way better than any of my kids elementary school bands. :tup
I love that the kids are wearing nice black and white clothes.

Proud enough to pimp it verbatim in at least three threads. :neverusethis:
j/k. You should be proud. The song's not too bad either, especially for that age.

Awesome Hef! I'll check it out when I get home today!

Yep. My daughter has done some composing as well, but it isn't like this. It is more EDM and dubstep-type stuff.
It was a fun night.

Yes, I know. My blessing and my curse.

What part of that is a blessing?

I'm the only one in the house who is ever up this early, so I get the whole morning to myself.

He passed the torch. I used to make fun of my parents for going to bed early and getting up early on the weekends. It's not funny anymore.
-
I dunno, it's kind of funny.
-
My body refuses to wake up early, like before the crack of noon. It's unnatural.
-
I dunno, it's kind of funny.
Well, yeah when you look back to your youth and realize that your parents we're right. I know you're going through that same cycle on the other side right now.
The weird part is no matter what time I go to bed, I still wake up at the same time in the am.
-
Me too.

Good Saturday morning

I'm up at 5am every Saturday and Sunday :D
Oh I finally got fitted for that damn tux for the wedding. It's fucked up because I was supposed to be there at 330pm yesterday. I had my friend pick me up at 3 from work... but someone was almost an hour late (And the fucker cussed me out over the phone when I called to see what was going on).... but I was still able to make it before the place closed at got everything in order.
I am going to be a SEXY BEAST in this thing.
AND I learned that it's going to be significantly less $$$ that I thought.

Enjoy the crappy shoes though. :lol

Actually we are wearing a certain style of low top Vans.

Today, I went to a remote and distant corner of the earth. In Southern Utah, there is a place where the early pioneers had to blast their way through a mountain. It's called Hole-in-the-Rock. It was a two hour drive, followed by a 60 mile dirt road, which took another two hours. It's a great view, but it's out there to say the least.
By the way, Blob, what part of Sydney do you live in? (If it's not too personal to ask)
-
Why do you ask? I might have to PM you.
-
Cedar, if I remember spent 2 years in Australia.
-
Well duh, I know that! I was wondering why he wants to know now. If he was that close while he was here, and didn't even stop by my house, I'll be upset.
-
No one knows where your cave is. :lol

Including myself. :lol I might be able to help you figure it out if I look outside.
There's a house across the street, and a street light to the right. Does that help? I don't know geography. :blob:

Hey Blob, and you other DTFers.
I just got up, waiting for the coffee to brew. I have a headache so hopefully it will do the trick. We played a gig yesterday outside, it was freezing cold (my fingers could barely move on the fretboard) so I guess it's something from that. Fun gig though.
What's the scoop?
-
1:30 am. Hitting the hay. Can you believe this old fart is up this late? I'm on Blob time.
-
1:30 am. Hitting the hay. Can you believe this old fart is up this late? I'm on Blob time.
1:30am is what I call "evening".
-
1:30 am. Hitting the hay. Can you believe this old fart is up this late? I'm on Blob time.
You'll pay for that today. We are too old to be able to sleep very late, so when you get up you will just feel like shit all day.
-
1:30am very late. lold.
-
I'm up! What pains me more is temps that can't work a full night and an employee who can't manage his money that he tells me he has no money to get to work. Wtf.
-
What a deadbeat. Didn't you have something once before where a guy couldn't come to work because he couldn't afford to fix his car or something?
Meanwhile, I just programmed some code that shows an arrow pointing to a location whenever you pick up a turkey. Yes, that's right.

They are all like that. It blows my mind.
Also picking up a live Turkey or frozen. Lol

On the other hand, I've barely made any money from it, so it's not like I'm making a living off this right now. I'm actually pretty much broke at the moment.

Hey, I work my life away and I am getting by so you still do what you love.

Nice day at work. Not half term and a Monday morning so thought i'd be bored all day and we'd have no customers..
WRONG.
A party of elderly women filled up our cafe - had loads of coffee & tea then left - only to return an hour later and have the same again. :rollin
EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE.
Pissing it down mind. Had to drive home in the rain. I don't think i'll be driving again today !
-
Did they tip well??
-
Yes ! Especially without their zimmer frames ! :neverusethis:
-
When I had my catering gig, I had an old Lady tip me $100 once. I got to my car and figured she made a mistake. I went back to her door and she said something like "I'm going to be dead soon. If I don't give this stuff away the state's going to take it".
-
" yes ! " you replied.
..." you are in quite the state ! " :neverusethis:

I parked at the supermarket today and when I came back - some guy was unloading his trolley into his car and he was taking his DAMN SWEET TIME.
Like - putting one thing in his car at a time. And he knew I was waiting. He wasn't being slow on purpose - he was just elderly and not very bright.
The way some elderly people are. But Jean Claude van DAMME he was slow. In the end I moved his trolley out of the way and he didn't even realise :lol
One of the supermarket staff saw me standing by my bike just staring at this trolley in the way and we both did a ::) face :lol
Oh well. And it was PISSING it down. Glad I was wearing my waterproofs.
-
Good morning!
Waking up to some very heavy Florida thunderstorms right now.

Very wet and windy yesterday. Put the bike away as soon as I got home from work.

Yeah but I was clobbered up to the nines. Waterproofs etc.
Drove slowly. It's only 6 miles from home to work. :)

Thought I was volunteering today but arrived and they didn't know I was coming in and they didn't need me. :)
So as it was a nice day - I went for a nice long drive instead.
Had a bit of a fright though. I was doing 65mph on a straight road and some idiot screams past going well over 70mph :o :o :o
Can you not see the big L plate on my bike ? :facepalm:

Nice.
I've been contemplating getting a bike for years.
So I'm pretty damn proud of myself at work. I came in at the start of my shift and had a scheduling meltdown thrown in to my lap. Guy's girlfriend went in to labor. He is taking a week off... He gave us a heads up on it... so we've been playing the waiting game. Filling his shift isn't as easy as just "you, random guy, work this shit please." Seeing as it's another account... but I was able to get really creative and get it all filled (with the exception of ONE day next week, but I have time to feel it out and fill it later). And this all happened in an hour.
Usually it takes several hours to get things filled
:JayOctavarium:

Good morning guys!

Good morning everyone!

So I'm pretty damn proud of myself at work.
:JayOctavarium:
:JayOctavarium:
So I had to put the bike on reserve today and I swore I only filled up yesterday ! :o
I checked my bank to see when I last filled up and it said yesterday :|
Luckily that was the date the actual money went out of my account and I checked the receipt and it was 5 days ago. The weather has been great so i've obviously been riding a lot more !
Usually I fill up once a week. Was a bit worried for a while ! :p
I made a note of the mileage when I topped up and will compare it when I next fill up :)

Good morning guys! Another quiet day at work today, I'm so happy it's the slow season.

Hello, hello

Hey.

Fo shizzle.

What does everyone have going on today?

What does everyone have going on today?
Work til 5, then home to the fam, catch up on some Netflix.
BTW, speaking of Netflix - I know I'm late to the party, but House of Cards is awesome, and Frank Underwood is one of my favorite TV characters.
Also the new show Bloodline looks incredible. We've only seen the first episode so far, but it was really intense, and with a great cast.
-
I hear House of Cards is but I never caught it. I'm looking forward to the Evil Dead series.

So am I. That and Dark Matter are the new shows I'm waiting on.
-
Is Dark Matter the new Sci-Fi Channel show Blob?

Yessir. It has a lot of Stargate cred, so I'm looking forward to this more than any scifi in a while.

Evil Dead is on Starz, right? I don't have that channel.
-
I've heard a ton about House Of Cards but I still haven't made the time to watch it, maybe sometime this summer.
-
Yes it is Hef. I have the full cable boat. Every year they want to raise my price and I tell them that I've been with them now for 22 years and I want the same cost or I leave. I get the same price all the time.

Who is your cable provider? We have Time Warner.
-
Comcast. I bully them every year. With all the dish companies around they have to bow down. People just ship all the time.
-
The only premium channel we carry is HBO. With all of the regular network shows we watch, I don't have time for any other channels, nor am I willing to pay for another channel just because it has one show that I think I might like.

[ It has a lot of Stargate cred
Not that I'll likely see it (I don't have cable) but what does that mean? Same writers or story arc?

Created by two of the main writers on Stargate, and it includes several Stargate writers and actors both as main cast and minor roles (including David Hewlett). On top of that, the show is set on a spaceship.

Hm I want to add another thing to my video, but it would take time and effort to do, and the video is otherwise finished and usable as is, so I'm unmotivated to do it. What to do.
(You know I'm totally not gonna do extra work)
-
1. stop wanting
2. start doing
Hope that helps :)
-
3. ???????
4. Profit!
It sounds like an ad, or a self help DVD. :lol
-
I was expecting you to take step 1 and use it to eliminate the need for step 2 ;D
-
Step 2 unfortunately has to happen at some point, unless I want to continue being a penniless chump.
I might just give it a try, and if it doesn't work out quickly enough, then I'll give up on it.
-
You are still a chump.
Deal with it.
Oh crap, wrong thread. Morning.
-
:lol I'm ok with being a chump, it's the poor part that bothers me.
-
:lol
I know, it seems the more I make, the poorer we are. As long as we are happy I'm ok.
-
I'm not unhappy, but I'd be much happier with some money!
-
It's free doughnut day in America and I said no. I'm eating watermelon and strawberries. Joe is not happy.
-
Honestly, I think I would be considerably happier eating watermelon, but I get it.
-

Surely a national event like that is an acceptable allowance?! I had some doughnuts the other day for the first time in a while. They were good.
Honestly, I think I would be considerably happier eating watermelon, but I get it.
Watermelon is delicious, although so are doughnuts. Kinda hard to compare the two though. :lol
-
Well, I'm trying to eat better but damn, the doughnuts are free! :lol
-
I will also be abstaining from donuts for the foreseeable future. Hef needs to drop some weight.
-
King understands the Hef but the King is weak.
-
The king needs to step outside of himself and become DRILL SERGEANT FUCKING KING and tell King to STOP BEING A LITTLE GIRL AND MAN UP AND EAT THAT WATERMELON AND PRETEND LIKE IT'S KRISPY FUCKING KREME AND YOU WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE IT TASTES LIKE AN ICED CREAM FILLED DELICACY OF DOUGHY AWESOMENESS. THAT'S WHAT YOUR WATERMELON AND STRAWBERRIES TASTE LIKE, PASTRY. EAT IT, YOU MAGGOT AND FUCKING LOVE IT. THEN LOSE TONS OF WEIGHT AND BE EVEN MORE OF WINNER IN THE GAME OF LIFE. PURPLE MONKEY FUCKING DISHWASHER, PRIVATE!
Or something like that. I imagine a person would be pretty motivated by that.
-
Nope. It didn't work. :lol
-
Are you sure you did it right? You have to say "fuck" a lot.
-
That's the key to loosing weight. I'll tell the wife.
-
Fuck I love fucking doughnuts :tup
-

I didn't say "you have to fuck a lot", I said you have to SAY "fuck" a lot.

You're supposed to eat them. :|

I like both ideas.

Haha.............oops. I'm actually quite pissed. ;D
I allowed a couple of mates to convince me that it was a good idea to go out and shoot some pool for a few hours and Holy Fucking Moly. Three hours of super loud doof doof music later and I am mentally exhausted . I drank as much as I could and in the end I just said to the guys "I can't take this any more" and so I'm home now and need some therapy.
I have been reminded in no uncertain terms of how cool it is to be a homebody and listen to cool music all day and never have to listen to radio etc..............I was at the point where I would've begged for the waterboarding to start.
Just poured another ouzo and I think I need some Pantera or something to cancel all that crap out as quick as possible.

Today is going to be a good day.
Well.. the next few days will be. Panda is on her way to Yuma AZ to pick my niece up. She's going to be staying with us for a week. I miss her so damn much. I haven't seen her in almost a year.

HEY REAP !!!
Went to my Dads after work and he told me to go buy some oil and top up the oil in my bike.
So I do that. Then he says " Did you drain the old oil first ? "
Nope ! ;D You didn't tell me to !
Cue a ride back to his house to drain some of the oil away :p
It's all learning !

I had a guy get so pissed off at me over something (that was is own fault... I had nothing to do with it) that I actually called the police in fear of safety.
And I just found out I have to crack the whip of cleaning over the weekend. The property manager is going to be doing a site inspection and a walk through of the property, which isn't a huge deal, but one of the focuses is going to be our office. Apparently they have some money in the budget for "improvements" to our office and she's going to sit down with my supervisor and myself to discuss it and take our suggestions. Personally I'm shooting for a 5.1 surround system....
-
Morning. Sipping on my coffee. Chillin'.
-
Morning king.
I just rewatched Terminator 2, and now to do some programming.
-
That was the second movie the wife and I saw dating. Damn that was a long time ago.

Morning guys

Morning Jay.

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere (a terminator joke, not a joke about your age :P).
-
How goes it?
I'm sitting on a bus listening to The Who @ Isle of Wright. SO GOOD
-
Just chillin' still drinking coffee. :lol
Blob, the joke was the first movie we saw together. Total date movie.
-

That's what I meant, I just wanted something a bit smarter than stating it bluntly. :lol
I love those first two Terminator movies so much. Absolute classics. I'm getting myself ready for the new one. And if it sucks, at least I've watched two great Terminator movies. :lol
-
So, not watching the other 2? :lol
I do get it wraps around that 2 movie timeline so I'm interested too.
Also that date movie was "Only The Lonely" with John Candy ,Ally Sheedy & Maureen O'Hara.
-
So, not watching the other 2? :lol
I do get it wraps around that 2 movie timeline so I'm interested too.
I don't have Salvation, and I probably won't bother with 3 only because I don't expect it has any bearing on the new movie (but I have it on DVD and have watched it several times, and don't think it's as bad as people say despite not being necessary). Terminator Genisys obviously takes into account the first two movies, so I wanted to at least fit those in.

T2 is one of my favorite films ever.
Also, greetings, bitches.

Not literally next to me, no. :P
Near me? No idea. I just go to the local cinema that's only a few minutes away.
-
I don't mean literately next to you. :lol :facepalm:
I find that I just go to I-Max for movies with the occasional drive in. If not, I wait for cable to see movies.

Good morning guys! Posting from Charlotte right now, it's pretty damn hot here :( I was hoping for some escape from the heat.

That's why I could never live in FLA. The mugginess is unbearable.
Blob, I know that's your mantra. It's party time with my little nephew, family. Sippin' on my brothers home brew. It's all good.
-
I swear I need a panic button at my desk. Every weekend for the past month I've had a Jeho's Witness come to my office and start preaching to me. They know they can't enter the property, so they harass me instead. I want to be able to push a button discreetly to make the phone ring or something so I can get away from them.
-
My grandmother is a jehovah witness and I'm lucky that they don't get too much into my face.
In other news I went white water rafting at the white water center in North Carolina, what a blast!

White water rafting is the bomb!
Morning.

Morning king!

So what's up Blob? Me just chillin' before food shopping.

I'm finishing up a new video that will be up tonight, barring any random disasters. I could have had the video done last night, but I wanted to add another feature, which turned out well.

In theory I'm getting paid tomorrow. I've got my niece with staying with us... and going to Universal Studios on Wednesday. Nothing can bring me down too far this week :D

I went to that Universal Studios in 1992. It was January and i was visiting my friend who moves out there hoping to make it in music. He lived in Cypress.

What new Sci-Fi series are you guys speaking of?
-
I've been once. It was a month or so after my ex and I split. I was still living with her family (sharing a room with her jncle... ugh.) I spent the night before hanging out in Hollywood, got in at like 6am, and crashed on the couch. I was work up at like 8am by her Mother asking if I wanted to come with. They had my ex's stepsiblings staying with them, who absolutely loved me, and wanted me to come. So I got my ass up, showered, and went to Universal Studios. 2/3 of the kids were being fussy (2 and 4 yrs old), along with my ex being a bitch the entire time... they only ride I went on because of that was Jurassic Park. My ex's sister (15) and the oldest step sibling (9) and I stood in line for like and hour and rose it. And then the Backlot tour. And then everyone wanted to go home. It was kind of a let down... but it was free. Can't complain too much.
This time it will be different.

There and back with absolutely no problems and my chain comes off 6 miles from home :lol
I had to free-wheel the wrong way down a by pass and pull in at the hospital car park and put the chain back on.
Got me home then :cool:

What do you mean "still"? Why the hell wouldn't I? The best stuff is hard or even impossible to find streaming anyway, plus you never know how long videos will be up for, and who wants to waste time waiting for shit to load or remembering links for that one video you want to watch? I just want to easily find and open a video. I have 160gb of porn. Why would I stream that when I can store it?

Your porn finding skills need work then. The only stored porn should be on a mobile phone as to not eat your data plan or trigger blocks with your company's wifi. You need to know where to go on the internet and keep a massive mental library of what is where. I can take a video I downloaded off Kazaa 15 years ago and know exactly where on the net it is being streamed. I actually find it harder to find particular movies on anything other than streaming services. Step up your game!

I did step up my game, by storing 160gb of porn. :lol My porn finding skills are clearly just fine, as I have it all right here to watch any time. A lot of good stuff gets taken down very quickly, and there's no point having to find another source every time when I could have saved it, even if it's not difficult.
And I get 100gb of bandwidth a month. I'm not wasting a chunk of that every time I want to watch the same video. That's just stupid. Again, why would I not store it? I'm not some kind of porn peasant.
-

Sharp!

Good day folks, had a nice day today except for the fact I got pulled over a quarter mile from the hotel :(
-
For cocaine again?
-
Zydar is in Florida?
-
Zydar isn't the only source of cocaine in the world.
He's just the largest one.
-
And hookers.
-
The prostitution industry actually hates Zydar.
-
Maybe he harvests the cocaine from the hookers. :-\
-
Someone needs to make a Facebook game like Farmville, but instead of cows, you have hookers. And your little farmer avatar is Zydar.
-
Maybe he harvests the cocaine from the hookers. :-\
Are you implying he lures in crack whores, then kills them to extract cocaine from their corpses, therefore getting free sex AND free drugs?
You're either a madman, or a genius, or both.

Yep :)
You're either a madman, or a genius, or both.
Not sure which I am - maybe if Zydar needs to expand internationally or needs an ideas man ? :lol
-
So what's sexy this evening guys?
-
Sure, send me your CV :zydar:

It's nauseating at times. There are days where my brain just can't get into gear. It's like being completely closed off/isolated from everything around kills any motivation I should have to do work.

I work with people that want to amount to nothing. I'm losing my mind.

You manage a Walmart, yes?

I manage a contracted company that works in a Wal Mart Distortion Center that services 111 stores in NE and a little bit of NY. We sort the pallets used. If you can imagine, we sort on average 250,000 in a month.

What shall I do on this fine Tuesday? Nothing? Yeah, imma do nothing.

Distortion Center
Do you get pretty good tone with that?

hey people
I got 3 beethoven symphonies (3, 5, 9) and a musical soundtrack I had wanted for my birthday yesterday.
I also remembered that Shostakovich finished his first symphony at 19 years old
-
Sweet! :tup It was your birthday yesterday?
-
Good afternoonmorningevening peeps
-
Good Morning. Got some great news this morning. There will be a DTF meet up at the Rush concert in Montreal. Hanging with us for 2 days will be none other than Chad!! :metal
-
On the upside, you get to meet the great people of DTF. On the downside, you have to see Rush.
-
First of all. Yes to #1. Chad and I have had a few meet ups. He's the best.
To your second reply, I curse you to 24 hours of sunlight.
-
Go ahead and try. It was 14C/57F and overcast today. I even went out for a walk.

It's 15 Celsius here today . :cool: Nice bike riding - beach walking weather. My phone says it will be 22 degrees tomorrow :hat hope so.
-
You'll be like an old hamburger under that table light. :lol
Wait a second, how did you know that information Blob?! LOL
Are you seeing if it's ok to walk outside? :lol
-
On the upside, you get to meet the great people of DTF. On the downside, you have to see Rush.

Oh look, the one other person on the whole forum who agrees with that sentiment. :lol

The warmest day we've got for the next week is 20C, being the middle of Winter. Absolutely nobody in this country would be near a beach at 15C. :lol People in Australia seem to think that's fireplace weather. Which is ridiculous. First of all because it hardly gets cold enough to even need a fireplace in this country, and secondly because that's still not a good reason to pump smokey shit from your chimney that I have to smell. Bunch of pansys.
-
Yeah, I burn wood in the winter as well.
-
that's still not a good reason to pump smokey shit from your chimney that I have to smell. Bunch of pansys.
What?! Burning wood is the greatest smell there is. I love when my clothes reek of it.
-
Yeah, I burn wood in the winter as well.
Which would be somewhat acceptable in your climate! For comparison, I see people here use their fireplace once it hits 19C (66F). Today was about 14C (57F), which is about as cold as the max temp gets during Winter here. Would you use a fireplace in that weather?

I hate Rush too. :hifive: Literally never heard one song by them i've enjoyed. And " Fly By Night" is a shit song.
Having been in a band - Fly By Night sounds like the song you write that nobody really likes and you know it's crap but you play it anyway just to fill up your set :biggrin:

So 3 of you in the minority. :biggrin:

I enjoy ST09, and have watched it several times, but the story had a lot of major issues, the kinds of things I expect from mindless modern action movies, but not from what should be intelligent scifi. I can watch it and enjoy it though. It's easily a step above Into Darkness, which I still haven't managed to finish rewatching yet.
Hey! Rush transcends the prog nerd group you! :lol
Sure. It transcends prog nerd to just garden variety nerd. :biggrin:

On that note, I just want to say that Australian cold is different to Utah (and most likely the rest of the central United States) cold. When I was there, I wasn't expecting it to get very cold, and while it never got atrociously cold, the humidity and wind chill made for some pretty cold days. Maybe it was just where I was living at the time, combined with the amount of time I spent outside. I was riding a bike and I remember feeling cold with a sweater, gloves, and a beanie.

The time I'm outside is afternoon when it's as warm as it will get for the day in Winter, and often still sunny. The other day it was 3C (37F) at around 9am when other people in my family were out, which I certainly wouldn't want to be out in.

Hey Reap ! Bought a new chain for my bike but after we CUT the old one off - we realised the new chain was one link too long ::) :p
So we had to hammer out a link ourselves and use a split link from the old chain. Hope it holds ! :tup.
Just drove home from my Dads and it held up so we'll see. :)
Watched some of the Isle Of Man TT racing at Dad's. :o :o :o Holy Crap they go fast . 140 miles in just over an hour.
That's like 35 miles in 15 mins. Or roughly 12 miles every 5 mins.
I wuss out when I get up to 70 miles an hour and back off. But they're doing like double that the whole time. :|

It's too close to physical activity for my liking.

It's just balancing. It's not like there's an Australian Biff out there looking to get you.

I'd need the version with the handlebars.

From what I recall seeing, it was looking great. Was that going to be a full length movie or a short?
-
The 25 minute short was going to be the what-do-you-call-it... When you make a short to advertise what you really want to make...
The concept..So yeah it's going to be about 25 - 30 minutes to begin with and they're going to try and get it played at film festivals and see what happens.
-
I didn't think it would be a full length movie of that type/quality right off the bat. I hope it does well for him.
-
Proof Of Concept is what I was thinking of.

Was that your first visit?
Yes. It definitely won't be my last. We basically walked around a lot. We went up and down Duval and Simonton Streets a few times, hung out around Mallory Square, and did some other things also.
Here's a photo of my girlfriend (6 months pregnant by the way) outside the Hemingway House;

I love it. In addition to my 12 yr old niece, we took Panda's friend's 13 yr old daughter along with us. This kid blew my mind... Apparently she is a HUGE BttF fan. She was so excited to see that damn car. She screamed....
Which was funny because for most of the day (excluding when we saw Vin Diesel's Charger from Fast 7.... she screamed then as well) she was quiet as a mouse.

Stopped for petrol on my way home today and felt something in my eye.
Looked in my mirror and there was a dead insect directly on my eyeball . Got some tissue paper out of my pocket and ended up chasing it around my eyeball til I eventually got it out.

Do you not wear goggles / glasses?

I have a visor on my helmet but things very occasionally get in.
And I do have sunglasses but this was in the evening and it was cloudy.

I'm taking shots with my depressed cousin a state away whilst watching Jurrassic Park: The Lost World.
WOot
-
The Lost World?
Lame. :lol
-
I've seen the fist one a hundred times, the third one once or twice, and the newest one I saw last night... but I couldn't remember a single thing from the second one. So I am watchin ALL THE JURASSIC PARK.
-
Wel you'll hate yourself after this. Spielberg ruined it. The book was incredible!
-
cant be worse than the crysal skull
-
Worse in my book.
-
It's not THaT bad.
I mean... I am kinda drunk andn just spent 20 minutes on the phone while NOT paying attention to the movie
So I probably am not the best person to jugde
-
So all day at work today we listened to " The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler " and then " The best of Status Quo ". :metal :biggrin:
I only know there is a band named Status Quo, and apparently they were huge but I don't think I've heard a song from them.
Hit up YouTube for "Whatever You Want". Thanks Curse me later.
That song and Down Down are used extensively on shopping commercials here, with the band actually performing new versions of them. I'm getting too used to hearing "down down prices are down". :lol
There's also Rockin' All Over the World, which I always thought the Muppets did in an old TV special where they go do Disney World, but watching it recently it turns out it's actually a rip-off that's better than the original. :lol
The Lost World?
Lame. :lol
Lost World is pretty cool aside from the humans' very unlikely survival. It's the third one that truly sucks.
And let's not forget the REAL Lost World, the 1925 silent film. :blob:
-
I've movedd on to #3. I think I prefer this to the second due to sentimental reasons. I went on a field trip in 4th grade to see it. I rode with my teacher's husband to the theater. He drove a 90's Cherokee. He's a firefighter and told us a story about giving mouth to mouth to someone who was already dead and he caused them to fart.
-
Hopefully you're now old enough to realize how atrocious the third one is.
I'm watching Dark Matter. Half way through so far.

Yep. I think it officially airs in Australia tonight on whatever channel airs it, although I get it once it airs in the US.
First episode was solid. For a space-based scifi show to have to establish itself well in only a one hour episode is impossible, so I didn't expect the first episode to manage everything, but it has potential.
-
Glad to hear it wasn't terrible. I probably won't get around to watching it until tomorrow though.
-
It definitely wasn't bad, it just didn't have enough time to establish all of the characters or to give a feel of what the show will be like week to week, which is understandable given that a lot of information isn't revealed until the very end of the episode.
-

I DVR'd it. I might not be able to watch it until tomorrow night.
Morning.

This, for sure.

The whole added King Kong tip of the hat was just terrible. I made the mistake of reading that incredible book and watched the Movie after. I actually was nervous reading the book.
-
Oh, I see the problem. You have an unnatural love of the book.
I read the book first too, king. The book isn't that good.
-
Well too bad for you! :lol
It's still the worst movie of the 3 for me! :lol
Oh well, not the end of the world. I've got my godson sleeping over tonight. Got to figure out a movie to watch tonight. Oh and ice cream.

You're a silly person. No way is JP III better than TLW.

I loved the 1st one. not to keen on the other two. But hey, I did say on another post that opinions can be wrong. :lol
Man did I cause a crap show there. I just hate that people say opinions can't be wrong. You may be right and I should watch both but no big whoop.
-
I just hate that people say opinions can't be wrong.
They say that because it's true. Deal with it. :biggrin:

I was of the mind that opinions couldn't be wrong, until I saw your opinion on The Lost World lol

Well your oppions are wrong! :lol

I have no fucking oppions.
Don't look at me in that tone of voice.

I'm only naked Jay when frying bacon.

"Frying Bacon"
Is that what the kids are calling these days?

I don't know. I'll ask my godson tonight. :lol

How old is he?
You're gonna scar him.
Just like that bacon grease scarred your giblets.

12. It's ice cream and a movie tonight!

Damn. I miss my niece already...

How far does your niece live from you Jay?
Beer in hand playing some video games, perfect Saturday if you ask me.

She lives in Texas. I am in SoCal.
So... far.
Oh and... I have been unexpectedly thrown into a 12 (or more) hour shift today. I should be off in 2 and a half hours...
The problem is... My dog has been sitting in her crate since 5:30 AM, and I am predicting that I'll be home at 8pm. Ugh.

I am clear to leave at 7... and I secured a ride home.
But shit is hitting the fan here with the higher ups. This is the kind of shit that we have 3 people redundantly double (triple?) checking the schedules to prevent.
I am just glad I am (a good man, and) thorough when it comes to documenting all changes in the schedule. My head shan't be rolling.

Rain on my ride into work. Sunny on the ride home so went for a cruise. Worked out i'm getting about 170 miles per tank :)
FUNNY STORY : Since i figured this out - I calculated that my next fill up would be on 27620 miles (roughly)
As i was watching my mileometer tick over - I shit you not - as it went from 27619 9 to 27620 0 - the bike spluttered and ran out of petrol :lol
I literally could not have been more exact.
-
I think my back tyre needs air. Back end feels a bit ..."wandery".
Check it out, I check my bike pressure all the time, I'm a bit paranoid about it.

:lol haha "wandery"..
Later That Day
...yeahhhh It was a puncture. I didn't realise and drove to town. It went from being a bit wandery to being a lot crashy.
:lol

Haha
I'm about to finally see Age of Ultron.
That's 3 movies in a week for me.

Good times. Unity just ass-raped my entire project and now it doesn't work. Now I have to figure out the best option to recover from least pain-in-the-ass to most pain-in-the-ass (least pain-in-the-ass probably being to revert to my backup from a week or so ago).
edit: Ok, it looks like a quick fix from the internet actually worked and all is well. :D

Good morning, peoples.

Today I sit in my cubicle and ponder turning on all of my college education, leaving the corporate world, and starting a paving company.
-
Today I sit in my cubicle and ponder turning on all of my college education, leaving the corporate world, and starting a paving company.
If it would make you happy, and you can make a living doing it, then go for it.

Do it.

-
Today I sit in my cubicle and ponder turning on all of my college education, leaving the corporate world, and starting a paving company.
If it would make you happy, and you can make a living doing it, then go for it.
I think it would. My entire life I've always been a hands-on/mechanical/trade kind of guy. I ended up where I am now because getting a college education and making money was what was stressed to me my entire life. I wouldn't say my dad forced it on me. He took me to look at trade schools and whatnot when I was looking at high school, but seeing him make $150k+ per year lead me to trust what he said about school. He wasn't wrong, but it's definitely clear that the corporate environment isn't for me in the least. Don't get me wrong. I make good money and the job security I have is really appealing, but the thought of sitting in front of computer screens with limited access to the outdoors for the next 40+ years is absolutely dreadful. It's all I can focus on most days.
My girlfriend's family has really changed my line of thinking in regards to work. Everyone in her family, on both sides, owns paving companies. Some do residential, some to commercial, some do public transit, some will do anything. Their companies double as plowing services come winter. No one in her family is hurting. Every family has at least three kids and the smallest house is about 3400 square feet. It would not be hard for me to learn the trade from her father and uncles (who have offered to let me work if I wanted to) and branch out on my own in a few years. Her father is super relatable to me. He went to college for business, worked at Aetna (rival insurance company) two years, and then went to work for his wife's brother's paving company once he decided he couldn't stand being behind a desk. He managed to put three girls through school on his own and has a really nice house in Brookfield CT. He'd respect my decision and would be totally onboard (I think) with helping me get my own paving business going. I also live far enough away where I wouldn't be impacting any of their businesses in regards to potential customers.

Sounds good.
The "not living close enough to be a competitor" is key.

I thought that the corporate life was for me when I finished school but when I did finish school and started work it wasn't for me. I know manage a hotel that I'm buying at the end of the year, it's hands on and fairly small but the work is much more rewarding. I'm my own boss making my own money. It's not glamours but it's good work.

How did you segue from a corporate environment to hotel management?

Reaper has a Segway? Neat! I've always wanted to ride one of those things. I bet that helped with his segue to hotel management.

How did you segue from a corporate environment to hotel management?
Well I just quit lol. I had some good savings and I was trading as well. I ended up moving back to my hometown and I asked if my buddies family would let me rent one of their apartments for a few months so I didn't have to commit to a year lease elsewhere. My buddies dad owned a hotel next door to the apartment and said he'd work a deal with me where I would watch the hotel for him while his family left for the summer and he'd cut me a deal on rent. I eventually became the manager of the place.
A few years pass and I'm growing tired of working at the hotel, I hate the city and wanted a change of pace plus my boss is getting old and is planning to sell the hotel anyway. He ended up approaching me and asked if I would be interested in buying a part of the business and he keeps a portion (I couldn't afford all of it). I still hate the city but since the wheels are in motion of purchasing the property I have a renewed sense of purpose and I have my own ideas and plans for it.
-
Congrats on that.

The deal brealer was that the husband wanted to watch. I totally get why you said no. No way Jose.

A lot of my friends say they would've done it if it was them but I don't know, that's just not something I'm interested in.

Just ordered pizza.
I spent 10 damn minutes setting up my order, and my computer decides to restart and update as I am putting my card info in. So I had to go back and put it together again.
Of course, it's completely different than it was the first time.
Now I am probably going to watch the 1st Avengers movie with the Rifftrax commentary (the guys behind Mystery Science Theater).
-
Where did you order from Jay?
-
Pizza Slut

man I have been craving a pan pizza or a stuffed crust pizza from pizza hut for a while?
What did you get?
-
Ummmm...
2 Medium Pan Pizzas. 1 Meat Lovers, 1... ummm... something.
I honestly don't remember.
I set the order for 2 hours (40 minutes now)...
-
I think I'm going to go grab a double filet o fish
-
That sounds strangely delicious.
Oh and the other pizza I got was a BBQ Cheese Burger pizza. ground beef, tomato, onions, with a BBQ sauce and a Cheddar crust.
It's amazeballs
-
There was a local guy that did a bacon double cheeseburger pizza, mozzarella cheese, cheddar, ground beef, onion; it was amazing.

One good thing about living in rural south Utah: 91 octane gasoline for $2.95 a gallon ($0.77 per liter for you metric folks)
-
That's a steal, I think I paid $3.05 about a week ago for 91.
-
Holy fucking shit, how is that sustainable in any way?
We've been paying around 1.50€ a litre on this side of the pond for years now.
-
I don't know about all that octane 91 shit, but regular unleaded gas is like $2.53/gal right now
then again, I live in texas
-
Morning. For 87 Octane in N.H we are in the high $2.60's right now.
-
Here in Western North Carolina, we are paying $2.55 - $2.70, depending on location.

Well, I'll find out how much it cost for gas in Montreal this weekend. Looking forward for Chad to meet my brother and have some great music and sports talk.

Yeah, it's cheaper there than here. Mostly due to NC's insanely high state gas tax, higher by far than any other state in the region.
My town is on the Virginia border, so it's not unusual for us to head north to get gas on the weekends. Usually 15-20 cents cheaper.

I can't do that. I can't afford it, plus I know for a fact there really isn't anyone to cover me.
Plus... unlike other employees, I am the one responsible for finding coverage or covering when needed. It would be counter productive.

Jesus Kotow what the hell with the tire?!?!?!
-
So yesterday i realized I still remember all the lyrics to Fergalicious.
And I am not ashamed.
-
Jesus Kotow what the hell with the tire?!?!?!
I know !!!! Like I said - I noticed the back was being a bit slippery and when I got home it was like that. :eek
Seriously have no idea how it happened. i only ever drive on the road and watch out for debris etc. .
i didn't feel like I ran over anything at any point. It's a Mystery.
-
Well I'm glad you're ok. Luckily motorcycle tires are far more resilient than car tires so chances are it wouldn't of blown just a quick deflate.
-
Thanks. Managed to get a new tyre online for £35 including shipping. It'll be here within 5 days and Dad says we can fit it ourselves.
p.s. I know it's a bit of a pain but a few spanners and some soapy water and Bob's Yer Uncle :lol
-
Looked like someone slashed that tire tbh
-
I dunno. Theres a much smaller similar wearing away elsewhere on the tyre that doesn't look like it's been slashed.
-
nice, cheap tire! A few years ago I had bought this rear tire that I was drooling over, finally got, boom nail in it after 20 or so miles.
-
Dad says he has a spray that he says fills up puncture holes. Could use that in future if it's just a hole.
-
I want to go for a ride tonight but it's just too hot. . .
-
It's perfect here. Currently 68F and sunny. Too bad I haven't anything to ride. lol
-
Ok Jay, I'm glad your here. I'm going to have some pizza hut pizza. Pan pizza or stuffed crust?
-
Stuffed.
Always stuffed unless there is a deal on something not stuffed.
That is my motto.
-
Thank you good sir!
-
The bbq burger pizza under their new specials was delicious. I love the sweetness of the bbq sauce.
-
I went with a classic pepperoni stuffed crust, I love BBQ sauce but not on pizza.
-
I do when it's Chicken barbecue.

Add sausage and you have the perfect pizza :heart

Speaking of pizza, there is a Round Table pizza right next to my work. Last Tuesday before work (I work 3p-11p on Tuesdays), Panda, my niece, and I stopped in for their lunch buffet.
Big mistake.
We got there with well over an hour left of the buffet time. Their salad bar had no tomatoes, mushrooms, or cheese. Their actual pizza bar area (which is supposed to have like 6 different types of pizza) only had like 3 pieces of pepperoni, half a cheese pizza, and a poorly made supreme pizza with like 2 pieces left. Of course, I am a gentleman, so I let the girls get their food while I got their sodas and let them take first pick at the pizza and salad.
I then grabbed my (shitty) salad, ate it, and got up for pizza. All they had were the cold (frozen is more like it) salad plates (which they didn't have out earlier for the salads) and cheese fucking pizza.
We were there for an hour and they put out a single supreme pizza.
Sucks for them since I work like next door and would totally come in early on Tuesdays to eat before work.

Speaking of trying new recipes I picked up some killer cookbooks while I was in North Carolina.

You should totally start trying out recipes and post them on here.
I'm so wired right now. I drank 2 Monsters and the only thing I've eat since this morning have been kit Kat bars.
*twitch*

I love monsters but they really give me the runs, so I drink the sugar free white can. Too good. I could go for one right now.

Dangit, I just fixed up this laptop (installed new HD, set up Windows), but now for some reason the battery doesn't work now.
I know the battery was good, but now as soon as I unplug it, the thing instantly turns off. Windows recognizes whether there's a battery there or not, but it always says it's 99% and charging. It seems too coincidental that it stops working after I made a hardware change, but I can't figure out a fix. All I see online is "your battery/charger need replacing". I don't want to spend money on stuff I don't need just to troubleshoot this though.
-
Try leaving the battery out overnight. No ideas other than that.
-
So I'm watching Repo: The Genetic Opera for the first time in years. SO BAD...
Try leaving the battery out overnight. No ideas other than that.
Probably a good idea
-
I'm clueless on this sort of thing. I've tried Googling a couple of things, but it's not registering anything from the battery at all. I hope I didn't break anything while messing with it.
-
It could be anything from a dodgy battery to power adapter to drivers. At the least I would try removing the battery from Device Manager and then scan for hardware changes to refresh the driver settings etc....
I'm not great at this sort of stuff either but have found that removing an item from Device Manager and then letting Windows find it again has worked for a number of things in the past.

Tried that a little while ago, didn't do anything. I don't think it's a driver problem, because the thing won't even power on from battery, or register any lights when the AC is unplugged.
The battery was perfectly fine a few days ago before swapping out the hard drive, so that leads me to the conclusion I've maybe damaged something along the way. Maybe the power adapter, although I would have thought the battery was still good enough to register. Maybe something got damaged while I had it open. Maybe whatever happened has damaged the battery too.
I just wish I had a way to narrow it down so I'm sure before spending more money to fix it. If I knew it was 100% the battery or adapter, I'd be fine just buying that and moving on.
-
Turn it off and then on again. :neverusethis:
How does the battery bay connect to the motherboard? I've never opened a laptop up before, but if it's just a connector you may have dislodged it.

I checked that, and the connector is mounted directly to the M/B. The connectors on the battery and laptop look fine.

So, caught up on any shows lately?
We're in between all the shows starting. Tonight I'll watch Dark Matter and Defiance.
I stopped watching Defiance after the end of S1, and that was already being very generous. Between the terrible spiritual crap with the redhead slut and the crushing disappointment of that main guy being brought back to life, I knew it was time to give up. I don't think I could ever be that desperate for new scifi to watch.
I'm on the fence with Dark Matter for the moment. There's not enough to judge yet, so I'm indifferent to it until I see more. It has potential to be great, but it could go either way.
-
I do agree to your point about Defiance but with the thin summer shows I can hang in. It got better but nothing mind blowing.
-
Has anyone ever seen Jonathan Creek ? I've started watching it now that there's no Sherlock to watch...
It's ok. Entertaining enough. Each episode is under an hour and it stars Alan Davies and Caroline Quentin ( who's really good in it ).

My lunchtime walk listening music was pretty metal.
John Petrucci - Tunnel Vision
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
Tool - 46 & 2
DT - Honor Thy Father

Not as metal as me Hef, I was listening to Diane Rehm on NPR

Today was all about The Communards, Erasure, Abba and Liberace. :metal
i'm joking of course. I listened to some High Flying Birds, Dream Theater & Therapy? :)

Working on it. Working with a guy today who's goal in life seems to be to raise my blood pressure.

Light-weight. Go hard or go home.

Does he, perchance, have cereal that needs to be shat in?
Perhaps.
He's an old guy... retired... who is never satisfied with how this place is ran. Always has to question everything I do. He was in management for longer than I've been alive. I get that. But this is different. He was a sales manager for a fast paced telemarketing service (back when telemarketing was relevant). He had like 100 employees beneath him. This is different.. I have a dozen people under me... and 2 people above me. I do not run this company. I take care of what I need to take care of, and most of the time I do it more than 100%. I make sure shit runs smoothly when I am here, and even deal with shit when I am not.
I just wish he would just shut the fuck up and do his job. And if he doesn't like it... leave. He already threatens the whole "I dont NEED this job... if you (management) piss me off enough I'll just walk..."
Ugh

On Spotify - because I have no label or anything - I get £1 per 10,000 streams I think - which is a bit poor.

It's not a fixed rate, it varies depending on whether advertisers are paying to advertise on your videos and how much they pay, and how many ad clicks they get etc. But it's roughly $1 per 1,000 views in my experience. Lower if my views are down, and higher if they're doing well.

On the writing the guy up....
My boss knows of the issues. The guy is also one of our most reliable and hardest workers. It's a trade off.
-
That shouldn't matter. Bad attitudes are what permeates throughout the workforce. The manager should have a sit down first and stress if he has issues to bring it to the managers attention one on one. If the poor attitude continues no matter how good the worker he is, he may cause issues with the other workers and their production will lesson.
So, give him a chance to correct this behavior, and if not, then counsel him.
-
If it keeps up I'm going to talk with the higher ups again and have them talk to him. I am not the only one who is having issues.
But all that aside... this has actually turned into a great day. I've got everything done I need to get done in the office and out in the field... and the weather is beautiful right now. So many bikinis....

Went to the record store today for the purpose of ordering "aquarius" by haken. I happened to flick through the vinyl section when I found the dream theater section. I had no idea that Awake and Falling Into Infinity had been released on vinyl. Then, I saw the Illumination Theory single. A mental argument then ensued on whether I should get the single or Aquarius.
It ain't easy, bein' broke.

Another new scifi show out of nowhere, called Killjoys. I haven't finished the first episode yet, but it's ok so far. It's about some space bounty hounters. This might be a good year for scifi after all.
-
Morning!
Where are you going in Canada King?
-
Morning. Woke up at midnight, just after falling asleep, to find a scheduling mess at work.
Well someone else handled it but since I was made aware of it I felt the need to inject myself into it. I'm just a masochist like that
-
Morning Jay. How many hours a week do you log in at work?
-
Morning chumps. Nerd convention tomorrow. Not the better one, but it's all good. :blob:
-
Morning blob, what convention is this?
-
40 technically. 44-48 a lot of the time..
That's not counting what I do off the clock. Phone calls and what not. I've been told I can log them for hours but it's such a pain in the ass, it's not even worth it.
I just keep my calls short, except for those few coworkers I actually consider friends.
Last night I only knew there was an issue from a Snapchat sent to me by a coworker who got called in midnight. My phone was on silent so I don't know what woke me up to actually see it. I asked her what was going on, was told the situation, and called the supervisor who was on to see what his plan was. (He and I have the policy of 2 heads are better than 1 and tend to bounce ideas off of eachother.)
He had a plan and a backup plan. I warned him of the danger of the plan falling through. Then went to bed.
I woke up this morning to a Snap from my coworker basically informing me that I was right about the plan.
-
Morning blob, what convention is this?
It's called Supanova. We have Comic-Con later in the year. They have crummy guests at this one. Their big draw is the dude from Castle/Firefly. Yawn. The best they've got that I'm interested in is a guy from Stargate who didn't even have a character name for 7 seasons. So yeah.....

Just got some food in our bellies. Great night last night hitting brewpubs. Chad has this app called Uber. People use their cars like taxi cabs and it's cheaper snd you can set it up to pay them electronically. What a great idea!
-
Just got a letter saying when i bought my bike the tax wasn’t transferred so I had to tax it for a year. It was £18!!! I was expecting a ludicrous amount.
I paid by direct debit which is 12 months of £1.50 a month.
So expensive. :'D
-
I'm totally slacking this morning.
There was an incident last night with a drunk dude, which got physical, that my supervisor and another coworker took care of fucking beautifully. I mean... The guy going after my guys and getting tackled and thrown into the bushes... and them getting up and going after my boss, who's a martial arts instructor... he has black belts in several disciplines... and the guy got dropped without a scratch on either of my guys.
But because of this shin dig last night, nothing else got done.
Meaning I have nothing to do this morning.
Woot

Joe, we're going to see Rush in Philly on Thursday.
Also, in other news, I'm going to be in Boston, August 20-21. We're seeing AC/DC in Foxborough on the 22nd. Stopping in Providence on the 21st, then on to Boston for a couple days. I'd like to try and meet up with some peeps, but we're already going to be VERY pressed for time, just trying to get some sight seeing in. So I may just put out a "We're eating at this place on this night, anybody who wants to show up, please do" kinda post and go from there.
-
Hell yeah! PM me about Boston, we'll meet up.
-
We're getting into Boston the afternoon of the 20th, and heading to Foxborough mid day on the 22nd. We're, at the very least, going to be doing the Old Towne Trolley Tour and checking out some different sites.
OF COURSE, the Red Sox are playing at home the entire time we're in town.

Next time DT tours the states, I think we should all meet up for whatever weekend date they are playing in New England

Second episode is a tiny better than the first, definitely more humour (but without losing the tone of the show). I'll at least give it the whole season and see how it goes. Heck, TNG was awful for two whole seasons before it started getting good. :lol

Morning folks, finished a bunch of moving yesterday, time for more moving today.
God, even reading this makes me upset. I hate moving. Hope it's going smooth.
I do too, so far things are pretty smooth. The new apartment has a broken window that they are going to fix and a weird howling noise outside of the AC. Verizon never showed up to hook up our FiOS but it was a blessing in disguise because I called my brother's friend who works for bright house (time warner cable) and her gave us a much better deal for less money and they will be over today.
Furniture comes today and I have to go pick up my rug.

Boy did they flush out her character. So much better later on in the series.
That would be an interesting topic. Which characters were better as the series hit the later seasons?
Regarding TNG... all of them. Especially Yar.
-
Some were way worse off like Troi. God that character was awful.
-
Riker and Picard were the only decent ones in Seasons 1/2. Geordi, Worf, Data, Crusher (both Doc and son) were all cringe-worthy. And don't get me started on Doc-Season 2. She deserved the biggest cunt-punch of all. I can't watch Season 2 because of her.
It's amazing it made it to Season 3.

Pulaski was a stone cold bitch who was bitter because her junk had gone bad.
Some dude from Spaceballs just died. The other day we lost James Horner. So I guess we're waiting on one more to complete the rule of threes?

Blob, I'm cranking in my office some Survivor - Premonition right now.

I haven't heard of Premonition. Aside from the song Eye of the Tiger, I don't care for anything before the Jamison era.

This is the one album I think you'd like out of the 4.

:chill
I'm just razzin ya dude. Embrace who you are. I'm not trying to put you down, just busting your chops, like I do all my pals.

Yo.
Skippin' out early today Coz to tailgate?
-
Indeed. We're leaving the house around 2-ish. It should put us on the Schuylkill Expressway (aka the "Sure-Kill") right around the beginning of rush hour (no pun intended). Doors open at 7:30, so there will be plenty of time to drink beer and tailgate for a bit. If he isn't parked too far away, I'll drop by and say hi to Nick.
-
Spent the first night in our new apartment last night and it's was so nice. Everything is so spacious and modern. The one (big) issue is we are living below these people:

Good morning.
-
Good morning Hef!
-
How goes it?
-
Pretty good, commuted to work for the first time in 4 years. I used to live right next door and I would wake up 5 minutes before I had to be at work. It's nice though because the drive is easy and it's almost like a decompression.
How are things with you Hef?
-
Not too bad, I suppose. Two and half more weeks of work, then it is vacation time.
-
Where are you going?
-
4 more days until vacation time! much needed although first time vacationing solo so that may be weird.
-
Where are you going?
North Myrtle Beach, SC.
-
Ahh my girlfriend's friends always talk about North Myrtle. They say it gets crazy busy there. I hope you have a good time Hef! :tup
-
Good morning crew!
-
Morning Reaper.
-
What is up folks!
-
2,5 hours left until weekend. Then three more weeks until vacation.
That's what's up.
-
We're going to vacation late this year, in September. Just working around the house and the occasional day trip.

Big mistake on buying fudge flavored coffee :(

The only acceptable coffee flavour is "coffee".

:lol

I lol'd. It's ok, because I've already got my straight-to-hell ticket punched.
I'm all about the flavored coffee. Had a caramel spiced scotch batch last month, and still have red velvet bag in the freezer. I like to experiment, but some things just don't work out. On that topic - but not coffee - I tried wasabi hummus once. I love wasabi; I love hummus... figured 'what could be bad about this?'. The answer? Everything. It was putrid.
-

In my experience, Myrtle is crazy, and North Myrtle is less so, which is why we vacation there.
North Myrtle is actually made up of several smaller municipalities who "teamed up" to form one general area. It's a little more laid-back, but close enough to all the fun "stuff to do" in the area.
Morning, everyone.
-
I lol'd. It's ok, because I've already got my straight-to-hell ticket punched.
I debated with myself for a good five minutes over whether or not I should post that. I'm almost positive I've seen that guy many times (I think he called out Ann Coulter for saying the word 'retard' on TV in a pretty bitchy way) and he's got a good sense of humor.
-
If I ever need a good laugh I always go online and look at the titles of the new Ann Coulter books.

Evening gents

Evening. Two scotches (which is probably more like 5) in with some neighbourhood friends, and I'm now back home. Dare I pour myself a 7th?
Don't worry about answering. I know how I'm going to answer. See ya'll in 9 hours or so. Hopefully the ole noggin isn't pounding too much.

But it's not even 7am yet there, is it? :lol
I woke up at 2:30pm today.

We could take alternating shifts keeping watch after the zombie apocalypse!

Vacation mode 3 weeks early I see.
-
I guess lol
-
Sp I found out, the drive in is playing Jurassic World before Ted 2. Can I stay awake to 3 am? Lol
-
Morning... no head throbbing here. Though, I chose wisely against a 7th scotch. Maybe I should post that in the old as mold thread.
Weather is supposed to be shit here today and tomorrow. Gotta walk the dogs before it starts raining. Then some chores, Jurassic Park with the kids today, 'World' in the theater's tomorrow.
-
Not much on my agenda. A few household chores, and then laying around on my lazy ass.
-
That's the best kind of weekend day. I'm making a songlist for mowing my lawn. Only 70 degrees today. Perfect weather for outside activity.
-
Yeah, it's only supposed to get to the low 80s today after 2 weeks straight of highs about 95.
-
I'm ok with higher temps. It's the humidity that kills me. I can't stand it.
-
Morning folks.
-
Morning Jay!
-
How goes it?
Being awake by 6am on the weekend makes me feel old.
-
I was up at 5:45. Went to bed at 11. WTH. I needed to reload all my Queensryche to I tunes so I'm in the middle of doing that now.

Your 6am is my 12 noon. And that's Australian Eastern Blob Time, or AEBT. :blob: Today was my Scifi Saturday, with new Dark Matter and Killjoys. Both shows slightly better than previous weeks, but still not amazing. Still giving them a chance though. Humans is on Monday (AEBT), by which time you'll be seeing the first episode finally!
-
I'm also hungover. Haha.
Ok it's not too bad.
Summer is here once again. It's going to be a beautiful day here. Mid 70s. Low humidity. Slight breeze. Which also means it's going to be busy as fuck at work

I was talking about your sleeping patterns. Your real time isn't even the right time for you! :lol Blob, I can't wait for Humans. BTW, in non sci fi news. I watched this show called Dr. Robot and it's amazing. It the world of hackers and how they want to reshape the world by taking down big corporations. The lead character is a brilliant mess and it's a great character.
Jay, I never get hangovers anymore. I must have built up my immunity. I AM A GOD!!

So what you're saying is that it doesn't in fact include a robot at all, let alone one who can also perform complex medical procedures on humans to remove their organs and sell them on the black market in Mexico? Because THAT Dr Robot would be an incredible show, and one that I would watch religiously.
Both episodes of Humans so far have been equally amazing, so that's my most anticipated show every week now.

Unlike last week where your lazy ass slept in until 8:30!
I'm doing some computer migration as well. My current Acer laptop is about 8 or 9 years old, and has been randomly crashing on me, and the HDD is at 95% capacity. So, I bought a new Mac (mrs.jingle and jingle.son are Mac users; and I'm also in the process of upgrading my work laptop to a MacBook Air). Just moving all my files yesterday and today - movies (not pr0n you idiots) and music take up the most. Then I gotta ensure my iTunes library is restored properly, and hope that my iPhone and iPad sync without hassle. :fingerscrossed:
-
Yeah, that was a gift from the gods. Can't tell you the last time I slept that late.
LOL I know Blob, Sci Fi or GTFO. :lol
-
Any computer that could last 8 or 9 years of me would have to be made from the bones of Chuck Norris. :lol
We've lost jingle.boy to the dark side. :(
-
Yeah, I'm not sure I could go to a Mac. I do have to get a new motherboard. I'm going big for speed. I still need to do my homework though before I purchase one.
-
not pr0n you idiots
reported.
:JayOctavarium:

I deleted about 20gb of movies the other day to clear space.
For more porn. :neverusethis:
-
Believe it or not... Most of my HDD space is taken by things other than porn.

Most of my space is taken up either by my own work, or TV shows / movies / music.

Music.
Music
Movies
TV Shows
Other stuff...
Actually I'm not sure why my HDD is always so full.
-
I still have a ton of free space on my computer (I have 3Tb internal) but I now struggle to back it all up to my 2Tb external. I've been trying to delete some crap lately, since I've accumulated so much stuff in the past 15 years.
-
I need to pick up a new external. I have 750gb internal, and an old 400gb external which kinda died... I'd like to find a way to save it and transfer it out to a larger more reliable drive. At least 1tb if not more.
-
So you currently have no backup? You're living life on the edge! :blob:
-
I really lost my need to back things up when I lost my video camera and my editing software.
Which I found a few days ago!
Now to find something to edit. Lol.
-
Good evening Folks
-
Morning. Couldn't sleep in. Gave myself a stroke.
I looked at the clock, freaking out that I overslept for work and then realized that is was Sunday. That did not help with me trying to fall back asleep.
-
Gave myself a stroke.
Hey, we all do it. But you don't need to talk about it in public like that.
-
:zydarscouch:
-
I'll take the coffee first Hef. I have all day to do that.
-
Good morning, actually woke up early today. I'm going to try and get myself to the gym so I can start undoing this 10 pounds I've gained over the past few months.
-
Morning ya'll!
We had some issues last night at work. I did my best to help the guys figure out a plan over the phone last night... now to go in and see how things went and pray they actually listened to me.
-
Gave myself 7 hours to sleep.
Woke up 2 hours early.
Feel fine. :)
Bike is temporarily working again. Gonna go for a cruise.
See Ya Suckaz.
-
Be careful.
I've been dealing with the crap since I got in this morning. All residual from last night.
Gonna be a busy day
-
Have fun Kotow, I took my bike to work this morning. Twas nice.
-
I couldn't believe it. Dad had just got back from getting the New tyre a NEW tube and put it back on my bike for me.
I come over after work and go to start it up.
The clutch lever is just hanging off !!!!
So we call around a few places to see if anyone has either a new or a spare and nobody does.
So we order one brand new. Meantime - Dad tries the local car scrapping place just up the road and we find one that just about works from a different bike.
I had a little ride tonight but I don't want to go too far. I can wait til the new lever arrives in the post :)
Hopefully that's it for a while now. (yn) :D
Also I checked the tyre pressures and they're both fine but yet I can't get that feeling out of my head that the back tyre is flat since I now know how it feels to be driving around on a soft tyre.
I need to get used to it again.
-
Man Kotow you sound like my buddy, you are having a lot of small troubles with that bike. Hopefully things go smoothly from now on.
Drinking a corona after a hard days work :)
-
Yeah I was thinking I should buy a brake lever & a new front tyre just to have them and to save waiting for shipping in the future.
Drinking a corona after a hard days work :)
I love a nice cold coca cola after work :)

Morning.

Last day of work til Friday. Kotow is a free Boy.

Yo Yo Ma. Working today/tomorrow, then a 5-day long weekend. Doubling up on Canada Day/Independence Day
-
4th of July ehhhh
-
Oh July 4th. The day when every employee here has to work... and most of them work in the afternoon / evening.
And I get to go home at 3pm and enjoy myself
Fuck yes.
-
I will have Friday off, then visiting with my Mom and my brother on the fourth.

Quick question. Are people generally getting more annoying, or am I just getting less tolerant of people? I could go either way on this. :lol
-
Both.
-

For me, it's a combination of the two.
I'm looking forward to the short week. We get Friday off, but I'm thinking of ducking out of here at noon on Thursday. I currently don't have a manager and the guy I am reporting to is 1200 miles away with no computer access. I think I'm going to do the most 'Murica thing possible and just leave.
-
Both.
So I'm getting less tolerant because they're getting more annoying? I can work with that.

People are getting to be more annoying.

Are you talking about people here at DTF?
The actual answer is that there has been a wave of new members, and some of them have strange enough opinions that they come off as annoying.
At the same time, you aren't getting any MORE tolerant.

That does include some of the new wave of DTF members, although it's just as much about people's attitude in general bugging me lately.
And of course I'm not getting any MORE tolerant. :lol The best I can hope for at this point is to slow my decline enough so that by the time I'm old and decrepit, I'll have better things to do with my time than sit on my porch shaking my fist at the kids with their being different to my generation.

Hey reap. I went for a LONG drive today. Slowly getting more confident going round corners without slowing down dramatically. Feels so good once you overcome your fear of actually leaning into the corner. :) :)
But as I said before - my bike will go 70 maximum. And I rarely hit that. I just love cruising :)

That's good man don't get too overconfident. I love to cruise too. You have to learn to trust your rubber, it takes a little while but once you do you'll have no problem carving corners.

Today is a great day. Sure I'm running on four hours of sleep, but I would live this day again in a minute.

Yeah today was better. Hated the few rides after changing the tyre. Was constantly stopping to check I wasn't flat as I was convinced I was wobbling all over the place.
But the tyre is like a rock and Dad and I took the wheel off and checked everything and nothing is wrong.
Just my imagination I guess.
-
My biggest problem right now is burning through £10 of petrol in only 4 days :lol **
We have some amazing roads for driving on around here :) Plus it's summer and the weather is amazing.
I was actually HOT riding my bike today !!
** About 170 miles on a tank.
-
I get about 150 miles to the tank with a 3.6 gallon tank, not bad considering it's a sport bike.
-
Good morning guys, I can't wait until Sunday. Our mattress gets here and I finally get to stop sleeping on this air mattress. My body aches.
-
Good morning, folks. How goes the good fight?

Hey there. Had a kid get hit in the face outside when getting propane when a 50 MPH gust of wind moved an unlocked barn door of a trailer. I was with him at the hospital until 10:30 pm Sunday night then got up at 4:30 am to work a 12 hour day. Hard 2 days let me tell you. I fell bad for the kid. He's a single father with 3 boys. Hard to get time to go to the doctors.
-
What instrument did you use to measure wind speed?

It's called a TV, and I looked outside the window at all the tree branches falling in my yard. I live in the same town.

Thank Blob. I feel bad for him. We lost our safety bonus and I can tell he's upset about letting others down. It was a fluke thing but you've always have to be aware of your surroundings. Only you can keep you safe.
BTW, I saw the first episode of Humans last night. Really interesting idea. Cool to see how actors portray robots hiding their humanity if i could use that term. I also watched Falling Skies and wondered why you never watched that show. I love it.

Odi (the old man's synth) is especially good, having to play a less advanced android that is also malfunctioning. Now go and use the damn thread! :P
It's easily my favourite show this year.
Many shows I haven't seen yet or need to catch up on. For now I've got a few active scifi shows, so I probably won't be watching any others too soon.
-
How far ahead are you in the series?
-
I saw episode 3 when episode 1 aired in the US, so two episodes ahead. It just keeps getting better imo.
-
Sweet. A few new show are really good this year. Strong starts.
-
That reminds me, I need to catch up on Falling Skies. The last thing I saw was the end of season 2.
-
Damn, it's early.
-
What's got you up so early?
-
Canada Day. Adding on to Independence Day, and I'm making it a 5-day weekend.
Except for the fact that someone ROYALLY f'd up at work last night, and created a $22,000 issue for one of my customers that I'm invariably going to have to deal with over the next day or two. Why can't people fucking think for themselves and do the right thing?
-
Chad, I just had an employee that asked me to take a day off to try to find a new doctor. I told him since he works 4 days a week, he could do that on his day off Monday.
The answer........"Oh yeah". :facepalm:
-
"Find a new doctor" is code for "I procrastinated and I need to cross the border and buy fireworks before the 4th of July ASAP"
-

My answer to him was no. We have a point system. He needs to be here. It's the busy season.

Victoria and I are thinking of spending Christmas away from our families this year. I hope Cuba is open for business by then.
-
That would be quite the unique vacation.

Victoria and I are thinking of spending Christmas away from our families this year. I hope Cuba is open for business by then.

True. But I'm assuming three things;
1) To promote tourism, things like hotels will be priced very competitively when compared to surrounding locations.
2) Everything will be new
3) The sand on the beaches and the booze in my glass will be the same regardless of where I go.

As will your gut-rot from the shit food. I don't know a single person that has said they prefer Cuba over any other island, or tourist areas of Mexico. Oh, and stay on the resort. At least with other islands, you can explore and do other off-site excursions.

The DT-Side Chat Thread has had a long and illustrious career going back to before the start of this incarnation of the forums. Sadly, however, it has lost its former luster over the last couple of years. Several of the forum members who carried it to its former glory are no longer active posters, and it has failed to catch on with newer members.
This is a sad day, but before I lock it and put it away forever, I will give people a day or two to do any last posting there.
It's been a good ride. :uny:
-
No! Why would you do this!? I like having this thread.
-
I think this thread is still going to be around.
So after being the biggest Samsung fan boy I'm going to switch over and get an iPhone.
My Galaxy S - Perfect
Galaxy S3 - Great
Galaxy S4 - Suburb
Note 3 - Wonderful
I've had a note 4 now for about 4 months and it's a piece of shit. My first note 4 had a slew of problems but the most annoying one was that the main camera wouldn't focus. It was a common issue so I warrantied the phone and got a new one. It's even worse. Tons of calls go to voicemail, gps is broken, camera is still broken, messages lost or people receive 2-6 copies of the same text from me. I've tried different roms, flashes and resets and I'm done.

Whatever. May as well lock all the threads that haven't been posted in for a while.

I'm not an apple sheep - i've had two iPhones and two iMac ( I just don't like Windows. ) - but I had a Samsung once and I really hated it. That was BEFORE I had my first iPhone.
Since I had the 4S - i've never looked at another Android phone. Same with the iMac. I hated PCs & Windows well before i'd even tried an iMac.
I hate it when people say " LOL you have an iPhone - Apple sheep fanboy ". Nope. try harder. I had a Samsung before this and I didn't like it.
I've ZERO interest in an Apple Watch and ZERO interest in an iPad.
ALSO - my phone contract is up in March next year and I have no desire to get an iPhone 6. If I stay with the iPhone 5S I have now - i'll have a ludicrously cheap plan.

:lol
I was mocking you since you say it didn't work. now tell us why it's not working. I know the answer bub. :biggrin:
-
Long story short, someone on out service is going out of the country and to be able to use his phone internationally he needed to move our entire service to a post pay plan (from prepaid). Which is ok but I wasn't given any form of heads up on it. It involved migrating over to new SIM cards. T mobile started the process yesterday and we are getting the new SIMS this evening. Till then... no phone service.
Like I said... I would have been cool with it if I knew ahead of time.

I miss slamming the phone down on sales calls :lol

Morning, peeps.

Hey. Two more weeks until vacation, and it's hot as hell both in the office and outside. Right now it's 30C/86F.

I have a week and a day until vacation.
Are you going anywhere nice?
-
I don't have any plans, as usual. I'll take it day by day.
What are your plans?
-
Morning. That bastard will be at the beach posting some awesome pick enjoying the time off.
Just like he should.

Good morning, I have a long day ahead of me at work but the payoff is date night with my gf

Wife is getting out at 5 pm and we are taking a ride tonight.

The family and I are heading to the beach for the week (North Myrtle Beach, specifically the Ocean Drive area).
-
Morning folks.
Ok I guess its noon.
Either way... just woke up. Leaving for work in an hour.
And then home at 1130am
And back up at 5 to bike my ass to work
and then there's a possibility of staying late tomorrow
because it's our busiest day of the year and we are understaffed
and if not... going to my aunt's retirement party and gonna get fuckered up

@ReaperKK
I had a sweet ride today. Set off at 7pm and went on my favourite road. About 20 miles . Cruisin at 60 most of the way as there was almost nobody else around. :zydar:
I :heart when that happens. it totally makes up for the times when you go out and you get stuck behind a Tractor doing 20mph the entire journey.

Never heard of that soda.

Morning guys.
I'm regretting helping my coworker out last night. I wouND up not getting to sleep till after 12:30am... and was up again at 5... and I've got another coworker asking me to come in early to cover him.
No.
I will get there when I damn well please.
Lol
Happy 4th and shit
-
Jay it's July 4th. QUIT YOUR JOB.
-
lol no.
So the sick coworker got off at 7am and is coming back at 3pm. I got the approval to stay late and let him get a couple more hours of rest. So I am working 7a-5p today with the possibility of staying till 7p if needed. Its a lot but its worth it. $$$$$$$$$ plus I get to help my supervisor set up for the even (they hold a fireworks show in the harbor every year and my little corner of the harbor is the best viewing spot) and I get to play dispatcher once things get going. :tup

I just realized that it was three years ago yesterday that I went to my first Dream Theater show. My, how time flies.

:JayOctavarium: Fear Of A Black & White Penguin.
So i had a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good day :)
Work was crazy busy and I barely stopped for 5 hours. But we made loads of profit today and tippers were generous :)
After my shift I went for a long drive as the weather was great. Went to one beach and had a latte in the beach front cafe. Then I went to another beach and saw my Dad's car in the car park so parked
next to him and went to find him. He was there having a BBQ with my stepmum and their son and foster kids and all their friends :)
So they had a bonfire and has toasted marshmallows til the tide came in and washed it away. Then we all went home :D
Finally I went for one last cruise as it was getting dark and I pretty much just got home :)
-
Sweet.
I just got home from work.
10 hours... most of them playing dispatcher. My voice is hoarse...
And I could have stayed an extra 2 if I wanted to... but... meh
-
twelve hour shift :dangerwillrobinson:
Would you have got paid overtime for that ?

That sounds very nice, especially with you not planning it. Nothing beats spending time with family/friends. :tup
-
Yeah and if you plan things like that - oftentimes it doesn't work out as well.
I've always found that - if you had a great day doing something - if you try and repeat it - it's never as good the second time.
You just need all the elements to line up perfectly - which you can never plan. It just has to happen.

Also because everybody needs to want to do it, not be obligated to do it. Luckily I have plenty of moments where I'm spending good time with people, even just watching TV or whatever, it doesn't really matter.
-
Morning, guys.
We had a great time over the 4th. Visited my Mom, and my brother also came up. Barbecue, beer, cigars, and an epic game of rummy. Fun was had by all.
-
Same here. Food, family, beer and fireworks. Man I'm tired.
-
Same here, and I have to be at church in less than an hour for soundcheck/run-through, and then the service.
-
Only food shopping and fixing the nets on our blueberry bushes. Then, on my recliner today.
-
Heading to Canada's Wonderland (our 6-flags) in a bit with jingle.son. First trip of the season for us - though he's been once with friends already.
Has been a busy few days with the 'honey-do' list. And one of the projects didn't quite turn out as expected (putting a faux-stone surface on the front porch). It's a paint-like mixture that get's troweled on the concrete to make it a stone-texture. However, the colour didn't darken at all, and now it's basically white. So, now I've got to triage some solution when I get back from the park. Was hoping to see Terminator Genisys tonight, but I'm not sure I've got the time.
2 days until another beer-fest with King... and the Queen!
-
We've got to paint the living room and hallway. Not looking forward to it.
-
twelve hour shift :dangerwillrobinson:
Would you have got paid overtime for that ?
Usually yes, but I was getting holiday pay, time and a half, already. The company wouldn't pay on top of that until after the 12th hour.. not sure how legal it is but I don't mind
-
Jay is in the money !!! ($_$)
:omg:
What a contrast to yesterday ! Work was the same - we were crammed !!! SO busy that people were sharing tables to accommodate other customers.
We made *double* what we usually make on a Sunday and tips were not bad either :tup
But the weather !
OH MY GEE.
Torrential Rain almost all day. had to ride to work in it. Luckily I had my waterproofs on but still got soaked !!!!
It's cleared up nicely now so gonna take her out for a long drive to dry it out :) :)
-
WHO DIED IN THIS THREAD
-
Sorry, I didn't flush.
-
For the fourth, I made otai for my family and friends. Otai is a polynesian fruit drink made from watermelon, coconut, pineapple, and a feet other fruits. Its amazing.
Then I played some N64 with my friends and watched some fireworks.
Pretty good day if you ask me.
And another thing. Is Aquarius by Haken out of print or something? Everywhere I look, it is unusually expensive and Amazon doesn't have it in stock. I tried to buy it at my local record store a couple of weeks ago, but the man behind the counter could only find Haken's other stuff on his website.
-
Ugh I had a shit fucking day today.
Well work was great but it all went to shit when I got home.
Huge argument broke out between Jenna and I.
I said fuck it and left.
Went for a nice long ass walk and wound up at my buddy's work for a bit, and then back at my work.
It's sad that I GO TO WORK to clear my head.

:caffeine: Shapeways has free worldwide shipping this week, but I can't think of anything cool I've modeled that's ready to print that I want.
-
Never heard of them Blob. What do they do?
-
Hello, friends.
Feeling anxious, wanting to get through the day. My band from church is playing a concert tonight, including a couple of songs that aren't normal "church" songs. Should be fun, but I want to get to it and play!
-
Never heard of them Blob. What do they do?
An online 3D printing service. You upload a 3D model, they print it and mail it back to you. They can print in a whole range of materials from coloured plastic to all kinds of metals to porcelain.

I'm considering getting one of my video game characters printed, or something Back to the Future related. I don't know.
-
Yeah, I'm ready. And I will get to play both acoustic AND electric, so we will definitely be going balls out tonight.
If our drummer remembers his cues, and my voice holds out, it will be a show to remember.
-
Well, go knock them out Hef. (With kindness!)
So Blob, what material would you have them make it out of or have you not gotten that far yet?
-
So Blob, what material would you have them make it out of or have you not gotten that far yet?
It depends on what I was having printed, but it would have either been the plain plastic (cheap and good quality), or I would have done one of the full colour materials, which can print full textured details like this-
https://www.shapeways.com/materials/full-color-sandstone
I shouldn't be spending money right now anyway. I'm still kinda poor, although I'll have about $350 coming in for last month's Youtube earnings, and I've actually got some work right now making icons, but it will take months to finish that work.

This is why I stay single. . . .
We're not even technically together.
It's a long story.
Fucking frustrating nonetheless.
I've finally convinced my buddy to start hitting the gym with me. He's picking my ass up after work. It's good because we both need someone to motivate the other, and we both go to different branches of the same gym. I've upgraded my membership to be allowed to go to his

Came off my bike :(
I'm fine though. I was just pulling away from a junction and a car in front of me stopped suddenly.
I tried to brake but it was really wet and I just went over.
I was a little bit shocked but I was more upset at the fact that the passenger in the car in front got out - checked the back of her car - said loudly to the driver " The Car is Fine..." and drove away
:emo: seriously ? fuckin seriously ?

Glad to hear you are fine Kotow.

I hope I can move in soon. :) :)

Glad your ok there. Is the bike ok as well?
-
Yes thank you.
The ironic thing is - when we had to get a new clutch lever - I thought I should buy a new brake lever too "Just in case".
i didn't but guess what broke when I fell over ?
I mean I can still use it - only the very end broke off - but still. #irony.

Last hour or so has been chill at work. Sitting here with my supervisor while our regional supervisor rapes our Internet remotely. When he's done, everything will be blocked but like 3 sites we use.

You need to find some good sites that will help you avoid that restriction.

Honestly as long as I can access DTF at work, I'm happy. I don't give a damn about anything else.

Good evening folks.
It was a very interesting day today. My buddy picked me up and we went and worked out. I am so fucking sore it's not even funny... I haven't had a work out this intensive and detailed since jr year of High School.
And since things are still complete shit for me at home... we wound up meeting up with another friend and hung out in the parking lot at his work for... like... 5 hours. It was good to be social again. And... I got to see my psuedo sister (My ex's sister). It's insane... She's 19 now... I remember back when she was like 13-14 she used to love to randomly come hang out with my buddies and I (we were 18-19). We kinda scarred her though... and she still comes back for more.
Anyway it was awesome seeing her as well. IDC what goes on with her family or what not... or how much her sister / mother / whatever hates me... she'll always be like my sister. Only now she has boobs.
Annnnnnnd now, since I don't have to get up early for work tomorrow, I am enjoying a bit o Fireball and catching up on the interwebz for the day.
-
But are you sexy yet?
-
We plan on doing this 2-3 times a week. Judging by how sore I am at the moment... there is no reason I won't be sexy by the end of the year.
Seriously it hurts to type. Everything above my knees is dead. lol

But are you sexy yet?
Yeah, we're waiting for you to catch up with me and Blob.

My friend got me some work fixing icons for the company he works for. This program has about 900 icons, and I don't even know what half of them are supposed to be. :lol

Edit: John, I will! :lol

Any leeway on the icons or you sticking to their details?
I'm trying to stick as closely as I can to the originals because I want them to be recognizable, but they need them at larger sizes, and less dated looking. The problem is it's hard to recreate something or make it larger when you have no idea what it's supposed to be. It's just a jumble of pixels in a 16x16 picture. I'll have to ask for clarification on a lot of these, but I'm sticking to the ones I can figure out for now.

Morning guys.
Still sore as shit, and life at home is still a pain in the ass so I am going to try to head towards work early.

That sucks Jay.
Getting all primped up for my bitch Chad. Pictures with us and the Queen to follow.

There will be a girl middle finger.

That sucks Jay.
What sucks Jay? Why would he complain about that?
-
I went out for a ride tonight. Still not great weather :emo: but at least i'm still riding.
Arm is a bit better. Elbow not so stinging and shoulder is still a bit stiff and aching.
Bike seems to be ok - I adjusted the back brake and will change the oil tomorrow.
Still a bit sad by the whole thing.
-

His home life is still a pain bro.

A brilliant night of beer and conversation with the King and Queen of shmegland for this cochise. That was beyond good.
-
Sounds good. What kind of beer/
-
The tasty kind.
-
What beers didn't I have?! :lol
Danish Metal. A Russian Imperial Stout mixed with a double IPA
A Strong ale
Another RIS at 12% Fantastic.
And an awesome IPA that was on the citrus end to it.
Food was killer and of course, Chad's the best. Lisa had an awesome time.

What turned out to be a massive fucking bummer in missing my annual March meetup with the King, turned into two meetups (one weekend; one dinner) in 2 weeks.
Life is good.

I told my girlfriend about the craft beer menu and these DT meetups and she wants to know when we're going. So I told her after she has the baby, we'll figure one out.

Morning Reap! How's it going?

hefdaddy, reporting for duty, sir!

At ease Commander.
How's it going today? Real muggy in the high 80's today. Like soup. Thunderstorms the past 2 days here.
Take a look at our pic in the post your pic thread.

It's been raining all day here, and it will continue all week and into next week. Luckily my vacation hasn't started yet.
-
It's been a weird summer. Hasn't been too hot but this week has been muggy.

Morning gents!
Hi Reap ! Did you see my biking story from a couple of pages ago ? I'm on the mend now. Ordering a new helmet at the moment actually :) Nice day today so went for a long ride.

Check out the draft list.
Damn. Sounds awesome. Pretty cool that they have Troeg's Pale Ale there.
Looks like, unless something changes, we're gonna be at the La Quinta in Somerville while we're in Boston. The hotel is right around the corner from a place I played once (that's, sadly, no longer there), Good Times Emporium. Basically like an adult Chuck E. Cheese, but kids were welcome also.

What's the dates Coz? Maybe we can try for a meet up. This is the place to go to in Somerville.

Good morning all you wonderfully beautiful people!

Googruuuuuuuu

You get your shoulder checked out or is it just sore?

:emo: yarrrrr I'm not attractive.
I'd do you
Morning you sore bastard.
Who is this directed to?
I'm about to go do it all over again. I'm gonna die!
Oh and apparently I am going to go hang out with that chick from work again next Wednesday. We're seeing Spaceballs in the theater.
It's not a date.
I think.

For both. Kotow for the rash and you with the sore muscles!

As soon as your routine doesn't hurt as much try a different exercise for the same muscle groups. You always want to change up to shock the muscle.

That's what we plan on doing. I say it will take at least a month to get into the groove.
Surprisingly, my legs are great. It's just my arms and shoulders that are sore.
I LOVE working out my legs. Hell.. back when I took weight training in High School, Legs were always my thing. I had calves of steel. Literally had girls AND guys checking 'em out.
I say that because my weight training partner was gay. lol

https://www.slumbrew.com/
We're in Providence on 8/19, then in Boston from the afternoon of the 20th through the 22nd. We're desperately going to try to cram in as much sightseeing as possible. I'd told Mrs. C. that I have mucho friends up that way, but knowing how much we're gonna try to cram in, specifically trying to make a meetup happen may be difficult. I'd like to figure it out anyway, if possible. I'm thinking trying to find someplace good to eat, that has ample parking (or easy transit access) and I can decide on ahead of time. The closer we get, I'll let you know.
I had seen the slumbrew site. Looks like some good beers. Difficulty: Mrs. C. doesn't drink beer. So I'm probably going to tend towards someplace a bit bigger with a great draft beer list, cocktails, and a great menu. We'll see what happens, I guess. Also, I remember my days of playing around New England - I loved Pub 99. Yum.

Well, it you have a open slot PM me. Town next to Slumerville (as we call it) is this glorious place for food and beer & mixed drinks.

Lol I am SO not his type. He likes them tall, blonde and blue eyed.
I actually do need to hang out with him again. He's pretty bad ass. He does modeling and photography / makeup. He pulls off the sexy scruffy masculine hetero look...but when he has his hair long and throws on some makeup and a dress... he's actually pretty hot. Haha it's fucking crazy.
-
Kotow, just read your post about the bike. That sucks so much but I'm glad your ok and I'm guessing the bike is ok to. I have a lot of close calls here in Florida because it's essentially gods waiting room here.

Thank you I am fine. As I said - I was more upset about the person who's car I didn't even hit not giving a flying fuck about how I was.
Arm is healing and i've gotten back on the road. I can't let this scare me off riding because I love it. I've bought a new helmet and brake lever and changed the oil :)
Haha. Florida....We have that in the UK too - it's called Bournemouth. :D
EDIT : Bike is fine - the only thing that suffered major damage was the little spherical end of the brake lever. Just a few scuffs apart from that. And I had to twist the handlebars back a bit using the old wheel between the legs method :D

-
Long story. I'll type out more a little later.
My buddy and I worked out, grabbed lunch, and then I spent the next 8 hours wandering back and forth from his work to my work (about a half mile to a mile walk one way).
I think things have calmed down enough... so my coworker ds gonna drive me home.
Just a lot of drama. Ugh
-
Morning.
-
Morning King, I was able to wake up at 6am again today to hit the gym. I'm 2 for 2 for getting back into shape.
-
I need to dedicate myself to hitting the gym but after a stressful 10 hour work day, i find it hard to hit the gym.
-
What is this "gym" you keep mentioning?
Holy pancreas, Batman - 100 pages!
-
LOL. I really need to but I'm so gassed. I bet I'd have more energy if I did hit the gym again full time.
-
Morning King, I was able to wake up at 6am again today to hit the gym. I'm 2 for 2 for getting back into shape.

I actually hit the computer keys very hard. I like a firm keyboard. :hat
But make no mistakes, the rest of me is soft and weak.
-
I usually have a lot more energy after going to the gym but I have to do it first thing in the morning otherwise I'm way too tired to do it after work.
-
Any hardcore working out is probably best done early.
Morning, all. Last day of work before vacation starts. :metal
-
106 icons down, 700+ to go.
-
Those are the hardest days to focus since all we do, and it's human nature, is to stare at the clock.
Blob, I will never call the kettle black and call you soft. No way Jose.
-
Gonna get my ass back on the working out bandwagon. Too many life complications were getting in the way of it, but it's time to put those aside. I feel like total shit, and it's time to fix that.
Oh, and a grand morning/afternoon/evening to all.
-
how late was that town meeting Chad?
God, I hate them.
-

700?! Holy Cow!!
You get clarification on them yet?
-

God, I hate them.
Got home at 1:30am. What a fuckin gong show. Unions showed up, and filled the council chambers. 45 or so public delegations later, and we got a mostly favorable outcome. Neither a win, or loss for the side of the issue I was fighting, but more like a push... but with the end goal of getting a 'win'. Hard to explain, but it was worth it.

Nothing at all. That may also have something to do with my not being awake during regular business hours. :lol But for now I'm doing fine working through them on my own.

Hehe !!
One day when I worked at the recording studio - the boss had to record thousands of lines of dialogue for a snooker video game.
Renowned Snooker commentator John Virgo even came to the studio to do it.
I asked him after how much he got paid and he would only say " Enough ! ;) "

For that much work, I can only imagine. :lol I actually emailed a guy recently about recording some dialogue for a video I want to make, but that's only 15-20 lines of dialogue, so the price was very reasonable, but it would quickly add up if I was doing that much.

Now i'm having a home brewed decaf latte with steamed milk and everything. :metal

just chatted with her on Facebook this week.
Running short one guy today and a guy no called/no showed. No one can work OT so I'll have to go on the floor today. Kids don't give 2 damns about their jobs. He's on his way to pointing himself right out of a job.

That sucks.

Morning folks, I'm feeling those wild blues today. Waiting for a buddy to come over to get some breakfast then back to work.

The presenter on that show ( Adam Buxton ) used to do a comedy sketch show with Joe Cornish ( director of Attack The Block and one time attached to Star Trek 3 ). . .
It was hilarious. They'd do stop motion animation with Star Wars figures. So funny.

Probably looks really dated now.

Hey Reap and others.
My new helmet arrived today and my Dad got his new bike ( Yamaha XJ600 Reap ) on the road. So I drove to where he works ( 30 min drive ) and we met there on our bikes to ride back home.
My new visor is so brand new it's like not having one :biggrin:
Also we fitted my new brake lever.
:)
HOW GOES IT EVERYONE ? !

Good! I'm about to have a burrito. Meeting my gf up for dinner at her work later, I'm going park my car and come back to work with my motorcycle. Pretty good Friday so far.

I work Fri - Mon so I can't chill out on Friday evenings like most people.
However I do have Tue - Thur off so can't complain :)
I'm supposed to be getting my new place next week - something to look forward to. Also my bro is coming to visit from Oxford - whom I last saw when I moved out of my last place.
Supposed to be really busy at work this weekend - but on the plus side - I only work 4 days a week normally so after tomorrow i'm already half way through my week :)

i'm pondering something
on another site i frequent the forum holds a monthly-ish song contest where users submit a song and then everyone listens to and rates the songs, giving points to their top ten
i feel like this would be something that could definitely be done on this site to get more people involved in finding new songs/artists better than just having a few roulettes running at once, and each contest would be confined to one thread in the music section so it wouldn't clog up the forum or anything
would people here be interested in something like this?

Meh

That's nice of him to accompany you to the movie so you're not watching it alone. :)

:lol
I would buy the movie but if it wasn't for my nephew, that's obsessed with them now, I'd wait. Though, it's at a place where you get to eat so really, it's like watching at home.

Good morning ya'll. Decided to bike the entire way to work instead of taking a bus in. Got here before the bus did and I'm not even too worn out or sweaty yet. Could it be... that I'm slowly getting sexy?

Had a helluva sleep in. Company was over last night and scotch was consumed. Went to be around 1am (hey, we're fogeys - so 1am is late - especially since I was running on 4 hours sleep from the past two nights). Just dragged my ass outta bed now. Got some honey-do items and chores to do. Looks like a great weekend weather wise.
Enjoy the vaca hef
Enjoy the movie King
Enjoy the icons Blob
Enjoy the sexy Jay

i'm pondering something
on another site i frequent the forum holds a monthly-ish song contest where users submit a song and then everyone listens to and rates the songs, giving points to their top ten
i feel like this would be something that could definitely be done on this site to get more people involved in finding new songs/artists better than just having a few roulettes running at once, and each contest would be confined to one thread in the music section so it wouldn't clog up the forum or anything
would people here be interested in something like this?
I'd be in.

Q: What type of person are you ?
a. ) Turn up to work 5 mins before your shift so you can just get on with it...
b. ) Turn up to work 30 - 45 mins before work so you can sit and chill before your shift.
a.) You aren't counting *up* to when you're supposed to start and getting to work and basically getting ready and beginning on time means from that moment - clock is ticking. Also this way - there isn't
a chance you'll be asked to start early !
b.) This is nice, too. But nowadays I prefer to just get up earlier and take longer to get ready etc. :)

I'm the kind of person to not have a job at all. :P

I bet you have a T shirt that says
" Legalize I.T. " :biggrin: :biggrin:

I.T. Information technology.
Legalise it...( i.e. lame hippies wearing t shirts saying marijuana should be legal...)

Awful ! :D

Replace "dog" with "dingo" though.

Do you submit a song you wrote or a song by another artist? There used to be a Song a Day group run by 2Timer that used to send out emails, everyone had their turn to send out to the group.

You could do both really. It's all about trying new music.

Morning, king.
I just drew my own custom vector glyph for the letter A because I couldn't find one that I found acceptable for a 16x16 icon. What has become of me?? :blob:
-
Numbers and letters. You're losing your mind!
So I had a fun time last night. Love a good fire pit, hanging with friends, playing cornhole and having great food and beer.

WUT :| Is this one of those games you play with a kid that you tell them they're not allowed to tell mummy and daddy about or they'll get in trouble?
-
LOL I knew you'd be like, "That is perverted!" LOL
It a came to toss bean bags to try to get them on this board or through a hole in the board for more points. It's fun really.
So would the other game you said too.
-
Yes indeed. :lol
I've done nothing yet today except make this one letter. I need to hurry up if I want to get all of these done on time.
-
You still waiting on clarification though on the character if I remember correctly.
-
No, I'm just waiting on the list of the most important icons, and there are many icons I'll need clarification on just to know what they're actually supposed to be at all. An icon that's just a big "A" I can manage. :lol
-
Damn. Good luck with that.
-
Up to 142. I didn't get many done yesterday.

Good morning to all you beautiful people.
Woke up in another good mood.
Rode my bike in. It's going to be a great day!

That's not what HDR looks like... That's a horrible filter. HDR just combines three photos at different light levels. It looks nothing like this.

If that photo isn't HDR, it's using the same radius exposure that those "HDR" images use. Hard to tell with how extreme it is.
Not that either case is genuine HDR imo. A HDR image is one that stores a higher dynamic range beyond the 0-1 (float) range, not smooshing a higher dynamic range into an LDR photo.
-
To be honest - I don't know what Dynamic Range is - my bro says he wants a camera with 16 stops of Dynamic Range and i'm like...erm...That's one more than 15 ? ?
-

Dynamic range is how large a range of light a camera can detect, such as bring able to capture bright light without overexposing, and better capturing low light without noise. Higher is obviously better, but I don't know physical cameras in terms of what's a good number or what average sensors have.
In digital rendering, high dynamic range means an image can store colour values brighter than "white", beyond RGB255,255,255, so even if it looks pure white on screen, it can still store the correct lighting tint and brightness for post colour adjustment and effects.

Evening folks, just got back from St. Augustine a little bit ago, it was a great trip minus the 100+ degree weather.

I don't JUST use HDR... just a lot. I use an app called Snapseed on my phone. It's actually really in depth for editing and what not.

It was brutal, we parked and walked two blocks for breakfast this morning and were covered in sweat by the time we reached the restaurant.

Thank God king is the patient and not the doctor or the poor patients could be shatting gonads instead of ghosts.
Good to see your form hasn't dropped off anyway king. I'd be surprised if it's acid reflux - I know it can happen that way but you would normally see other symptoms I would imagine. I get serious acid reflux that's getting worse and worse of late - gargling HCL ain't fun.
-
Thank God king is the patient and not the doctor or the poor patients could be shatting gonads instead of ghosts.

Downhill.

At those kinds of speeds, you won't be travelling through time at all.

I believe I have now uncovered Jay's true identity - his real name is Archie.........Archie Luxury. Despite appearances to the contrary Archie is well known in the luxury goods biz and he does genuinely know a thing or two about luxury watches , but he's also an "interesting" personality to put it mildly . I know I shouldn't but I can't help watching a vid or two of his occasionally.....he varies from just lame to fucking hilarious but it's worth the lucky dip :lol The comments are always cool too.
So here's Archie (Jay) advertising his Youtube channel and what a deal he can do for you.......the luxury goods guru wants your money ........fuckrrrrrrs. ;D

30 mph the entire way :lol

Not fun :(
I've been riding for over ten years now but last year I went to visit my friend for a little day trip. She lives 3 hours away. I saw some storm clouds forming and I told her that I better get going to beat the weather. As I enter the highway I realize I was disoriented and that I'm heading towards the rain instead of away.
I drove through a torrential downpour, 10 miles with zero exits and no over passes, I was soaked but I made it through.
Riding through rain is something else, you have to be super careful but it's fun in a different way.
-
I guess it's ok if you're covered in waterproofing. The main problem is extremely poor visibility and trying to stay the hell away from all other vehicles in case you have to brake suddenly like I did.

Good evening peeps.
It's been an interesting one.
Just as I was started the 2 hour drive to take Panda to the airport, I received a call from someone to inform me that my mother had been arrested.
I had no other details.
I spent the ENTIRE FUCKING DRIVE on the phone with the jail, and with several different local Police Departments looking for my mother. There was no record of her anywhere.
Finally I got a message out to the department that I think arrested her... and a few hours (as I am heading back home), I receive a call from an officer who explained what happened. I won't go into details but she should be out and free later tonight.
I was so damn worried I was in tears. Seriously. Not that she was arrested, but over the fact that I couldn't reach her... If she wasn't in the jail, tht meant she was out without her car... not answering the phone... which isn't an issue normally but my mother is.. not completely mentally balanced. She has anxiety issues and panic issues (same shit I deal with personally every day. She just never learned HOW to deal with it)... I was afraid that she had gotten hurt or hurt herself.
All is well now though.

It's such a huge stage too. I love their sound live. I really need to see them.
-
I know! It's mindblowing. They're touring right about now and I thought about going but I swear I can not be bothered with gigs where there are tens of thousands of people, you get crushed and can barely see the stage anyway. I must be getting old.
I saw Muse a few times I think, back in 2002, 2004 and another time I've forgotten but know DEFINITELY happened. even over a decade ago the shows were so crazy big and the fans so intense it was actually hard to really focus on the music. I'm not the kinda person who goes for the atmosphere and fun, I usually go to soak up the music so those size shows aren't really for me unless it's a certain type of fan base. God I really do sound old now. Got caught in a really brutal mosh pit during a Karnivool show outta the blue a few months ago and it was a solid reminder of what I tend to avoid that kinda thing now :P
-
I'd rather go to a small show as long as the headliner is not coming on at midnight. I'm too old to recover from that. :lol
-
I've been busy lately, that's pretty different. It's good though. I've been taking a pharmacy tech training course and it's been a lot of fun.
How's everyone going?
My wife is a certified head pharmacy tech Cedar.
:tup
-
On that note, I'm studying in my university library and it's full of incoming freshmen doing their orientation. This makes for good studying...
-

Oh totally haha. Although mostly cos I have to travel pretty far for gigs and usually have a 11.30pm train to catch back. Was a bit pissed off with the SOAD show I went to this year, they came on half an hour late which meant I had to leave before the encore which was pretty shit for a £50 ticket.
-
I had the same thing on the weekend. Chose not to go see Harem Scarem, who were recording for a DVD, because they had 3 opening acts, doors opened at 8pm, it's standing only venue, and traffic (because if the dumbass PanAm Games) would've been absolute chaos. I've seen them 3 times in the last couple of years, so I bailed on this show. I'll grab the DVD instead.
First world problems! haha
-
Haha first world indeed. Currently having to decide between seeing Anathema or DT at a festival in a few weeks as they're on at the same time. My friend across the pond is seething that I even get to make that choice but for me it's possibly the biggest decision I've ever had to make :P

Not fork vs spoon?

My first DTF meetup tomorrow! I shall be going to Night of the Prog, where I will probably meet with Elite which should be quite rad.
But even it doesn't work for whatever reason, I'm sure I'll have a great time. :D
-
Sounds like fun. :tup
One day I need to meet one of you magnificent DTF bastards (as in anyone in general).
-
That would require a trip to Australia though, and I value my life too much to risk it :lol
I've only met one DTFer, and that was Lynxo last year at the DT show in Stockholm. Fun times :tup
-
That would require a trip to Australia though, and I value my life too much to risk it :lol
I'm much more afraid of the US than of Australia.
-
let's see.... RJ (several times), Joe (several times), Trisha (a few), Zook, Nick, Dark_Lord, Cozmo, Bosk, ariich, and a handful of others that aren't regular posters.
Still on the bucket-list (North American)... Mason, Hef, Black_Floyd, Gary, Kev, Jay. Others I'm sure, but I'm only 2 sips of coffee into the day. :vfs:
Lots on the Aussie and Euro bucket list too. And Evermind, but I don't see me going to Russia.
Morning/afternoon/evening everyone.
-
That's quite the impressive list already.
-
We should all fly to Australia and look for the darkest house. That how We'll find Blob.

I was going to say you're wrong, but then I realized I have no idea what my house looks like from the outside. :neverusethis:

I'd have to dig up those pictures you posted of the brush fire to see the adjacent houses.

Morning Reap.
Very busy at work but the guys are killing it this week. Got vacations coming up so tough times are ahead with labor. Do I upstaff with the high counts with temps or stay the course with 1 less and push to get more with a little less. I guess we'll see.

You haven't heard of Skippy? :lol It's one of our most well known shows, from the 1960s. The most hokey Australian thing you've ever seen. This trailer says it all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3HkUKoGoc4
I almost died from laughter watching the show.
-
I'll check it out when I get home. I bet I could hind an american equivalent. Funny how in all countries, the older shows are so patriotic. I remember the bug bunny cartoons in the 40's and 50's fighting a clumsy Hitler. I can't imagine seeing a cartoon character fighting Bin Laden these days.

Ah, nothing like good old fashioned war time propaganda. I have some 1940s movies that are like that too (like The Invisible Agent).
I don't know if Skippy was intentionally going for the stereotype, or whether Australia really was just a dirtball where people had pet kangaroos back in the 1960s. :neverusethis:
I haven't seen a kangaroo in literally 20 years, and that was only at a zoo.

CONFIRMED.
New Dream Theater album first to feature Mike "Skippy" Bush on drums.
Petrucci Says : " We're all very excited to have Mike Skippy Bush on drums for our 13th album. Mike is a great drummer. His playing is very tight and in the pouch. "
-
"I feel we've taken the drumming to a new level, one that neither MP or MM could reach".
-
" Often we tie ourselves in knots trying to write this technical music. But Skippy can undo those no problem. "
-
This trailer says it all.

Looks like a potpourri of Lassie + Littlest Hobo + The Monkeys + Mr. Ed.

More Lassie than anything else, but unintentionally sillier. I don't know who that band is, but as far as I've seen they're not a regular part of the show, so I assume that was from a one-off episode.
And I have no idea what the littlest hobo is. It better be about a drifter who gets shrunk down, and uses his skills to steal food and money from people. :lol
-
The Littlest Hobo was Canada's version of Lassie.

Doesn't look very interesting, and it's a lot more recent than Lassie and Skippy too. Didn't mind the campy theme tune though. :lol (not that I'm arguing Skippy was better, I found it hilarious for all the wrong reasons)
I'll stick to crime solving European dogs.

Yeah... that's what I was referring to - not the actual show.

In that case, I shall thank you. Skippy's theme song is well known here, although it kinda creeps me out.

Good morning peeps.
I got 12 AMAZING hours of sleep last night. SO AWESOME!
I picked up an extra shift today... so instead of sitting here on my computer staring at DTF, I'm gonna be sitting at work on my phone staring at DTF all day while making time and a half.
-
Man, I can't remember the last time I got 12 consecutive hrs of sleep. I literally don't think my body can handle it. After about 7-8 hours, I'm getting stiff.
Not that way you tards.
-
12 hours of sleep? My bladder would have no part of that.
-
It wasn't a comfortable at all. I've been sleeping on the couch, for no goddamn reason besides I've been too lazy to move into my room at night. (I've got the house to myself for a couple days)
My neck is stiff as Zydar's ______.
-
If you slept on my couch I'm not surprised you're stiff.
:zydarscouch:

HA!

That's why he couldn't get up. He was stuck to Zy's couch.

Sweet moses... are you a vampire?
7am, about to hit the bike. Bought a new one last night - had been using an exercise bike that was 11 years old. Still works ok, but it was just time for something new. This new one is smaller, more comfortable, cool features, and quite/smooth as hell.
I realize I'm probably speaking greek to many of you at this point. :D
-
Is it more of a sit down with a back rest style Chad or more traditional bike seat sitting like you are riding a bike?

The latter - upright. I hate recumbent bikes - kills my hip joints, and I never feel I'm getting my heart rate up.

You stay with the seat they have of upgrade to one of those padded seats?
Lisa tore 3 tendons on her right foot and then when it was healing got plantar fasciitis and the foot never heals. No more treadmills for here only bikes.

Took a half day today. I'll be leaving around 11:56. Then it's camping all weekend!

The icing is the best bit. When I eat mud cake, I eat the lower level of cake first, leaving a thin portion of cake and all of the icing, so that the cake/icing ratio is ridiculous. Delicious.

I'm glad someone's on the ball. This is important.

Son of a bitch! I forgot! I got home and mowed the lawn. I should have linked you on Facebook to my playlist. Blob would not have liked it. It was prog. When I do my 80's rock playlist I'll link him.

I tried a couple of different seats with my old bike. The one that came the this bike I just bought seems pretty good. Was on it for an hour, and it didn't get too uncomfortable. I'll see how it pans out.
Back to work... got current boss, and former boss hounding me for shit.
I found his stash of Playboys under the couch as a kid. :lol
Who didn't find some dad's 'stash'. The creepiest part was - usually years later - understanding why the pages were stuck together.

It appears that the demo video for Lego Dimensions on the official DC Youtube channel accidentally used an image from my fan-made video on the thumbnail instead of from the real thing. They've fixed it up now, but the original thumbnail still shows up in the Google search for now. :lol

My clock says 6:57 am. Not youR funky time Dr. Who.

I woke up at 2pm today. That's pretty early for me this week. The clock probably said 6:57am by the time I got to sleep though. :biggrin:

You keep flaunting that but I'll counter with, are you done yet with the 550 images you still need to work on you slacker?!

I kid! That's a lot of work.

The joke's on you, because it's actually over 620 left! So there!
Wait..... dammit!
And I haven't done a thing on them today, or yesterday. Today I've drawn some cartoon characters and watched TV.
-
Now your talking to my lazy side and it agrees! :lol
Damn 620 Good luck there. Going to a 10:45 showing of Ant Man then food shopping today.

Oh that's right.... you're a Dr. Who fan as well. That might change something on the playlist.
Had a great sleep in. jingle.kids did a sleep-out in the backyard, and dogs slept with them... so no one was whining at 6am to be fed. I'm quite stunned they're all still asleep out there. Gotta get them up soon, as we're all headed to Canada's Wonderland this morning (our Cedar Point attraction).

Back from vacation! It was a good one!

Looked awesome Hef and the family looked like they had a great time.

Yep. We all made it back healthy, not too much sunburn, and now a day of rest before the real world beckons tomorrow.
I think we will try to squeeze in Ant-Man this afternoon.

Heading out soon to see it as well.

Morning yall. Another busy morning at work. Looks like rain again.
We are getting hit with a bout of tropical weather. The remaining remnants of a hurricane that's hitting Mexico. So it's warm, humid, and occasionally rainy and I love it.

:lol
And how is the internet treating you on this fine ( INSERT TIME OF DAY HERE ) ?
-
I woke up at 2:30pm and have done nothing yet. ARE YOU NOT SHOCKED?
I've actually spent most of my time today dealing with someone on another forum who messaged me about blueprints for the Back to the Future sets.
-
YOU'RE CHEATING ON US?
That's ok. I have spent more time browsing Reddit than here as of late.
I don't post. Just read.
ok sometimes I comment on shit...
BUT DEE TEE EFF IS MY FOREVER HOME.
I swear I am not drunk
-
It's a forum I mostly just lurk because people post cool projects. There aren't any other forums I post on for every day stuff. IT'S JUST FLIRTING JAY, IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' BABY.
I occasionally check Reddit, but it's too much of a mess of a layout to seriously use.
-
I really like the new BETA mobile layout Reddit has. I will sit there for hours browsing on my phone, and then when I pull it up on my laptop... I'm all "WHAT THE FUCK!??!!?"
-
I've never attempted to use the site on a smaller device. I don't check it that often anyway.
This dude who messaged me wants to build Courthouse Square at 1/6 scale (which would put the first building he wants to make at almost 7ft wide), and yet he can't even make sense of the blueprints, which are as clear and usable as you will find for anything. You're lucky to have blueprints for this kind of thing at all, so if you can't figure these out, you've got no hope.
He just emailed me a long thing about how he's not good at math or computers and has never built anything. Maybe start with something smaller first. :lol

Yes, like a badass Lego airplane.
Now I want to make something with Lego.

Good morning folks! Tomorrow I fly out to Vegas, I don't really want to go but I'm sure I'll have fun when I get there.

Another fucked up day. One call out and another guy throwing up right when he got in. We sent him home. Nobody wants to work OT so I'm getting my work done and working on the floor all day.

Morning Hef and King!
Sorry about the shitty day King.
Mine was not so bad. Had another slight tumble yesterday. :( Not so bad this time. was wearing my massively padded leathers so only got a bang on my hand.
This time I actually don't know what happened... Was pulling away slowly and the bike just fell over ?! Must have been slippery under the back wheel or something...
Only damage was the ball end of the brake lever came off *again*. Picking up a new one tomorrow - luckily I had enough tips from work saved up to pay for it.
Ehhh. i think i'll stick to dry days and main roads. Back roads and wet conditions don't like me.

"The prequel trilogy sucks"
That one is actually FACT.

Very nice. I don't see Biff there though. Is his signature on it?
The guitar looks very close to the original too. Sometimes the hardware isn't quite right on them.

I know he regularly jokes about being recognized mainly for that, but I didn't realize he actually avoided it. That's a shame. While I realize as an actor you don't want to be only known for something you did 25-30 years ago, I'd still love to have had such a lasting impact on so many people like that. And if you're popular in scifi/fantasy, you're basically set for life for conventions. :lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of when I said he jokes about it. From that, you wouldn't get the sense he didn't want anything to do with it, otherwise you'd think he'd avoid it altogether. It's like having your cake and eating it too (which is silly, because why would anyone want cake if not to eat it?).
Christopher Eccelston, who played the 9th Doctor in Doctor Who, is really bad for not wanting to be associated with that part. He always looks so awkward and defensive about it in interviews.

Grrrrr.
Woke up a few minutes ago to my phone getting blown up by my boss.
To ask me which specific key was needed for a specific door.
Of all people, he should know that answer.

While we're on the subject of Back To The Future and it's 30th anniversary ( Happy Birthday !! :) :) )
Back To The Future Part II may be my least favourite of the three - but I saw it in 1990 and I would have been 11 years old - and even then i didn't think the plot was hard to understand.
I remember when it came out - a lot of people were like " I don't get it ??? ".
I guess I was already inculcated with Sci Fi by then :lol
-
It's interesting when I watch scifi with other people, and they won't get some basic scifi concept that is just second nature to me at this point due to all of the scifi I watch, and they'll ask a question about something that I take for granted as very simple.
I remember the time I watched some documentary on time travel done by Stephen Hawking, and found it boring and predictable because I'd learned it all from scifi already. :lol
But I don't know of anyone who found the BTTF hard to understand. It has plenty of inconsistencies and problems, but people just accept them.

I feel like I haven't posted here in a long time. I realize it hasn't been that long, but it feels like heaps of time. I've realized how real time dilation is. Like, two years of absence, and it feels like no time has passed at all. A few days go by, and it's like the whole world has changed.
You know what I'm sayin'?

Having the option or not probably makes a difference. Like, when you physically can't post, it slips to the back of your mind because it's not a priority, but when you're able to but don't, you're thinking about doing it.
Just a theory.

I just silently put a basil leaf into my hamster's cage while she was fast asleep, and the scent of it actually woke her up haha. She was out of the hamster bedroom within ten seconds flat to find it.

That poor hamster. :lol Their sense of smell is way greater than ours. My cats can find a bag of cat food in seconds. If we leave it out for a few minutes they will try to dig through the bag to the food. Little buggers.

$5,000US is probably more like half of that in £, but obviously the principle remains the same. Nightclubs wouldn't make my top 10000000 uses for money. :lol
My top priorities to buy right now are all things I need and use.
-
So that's lube, more hard drives, video games.
Oh, and another wrestling mask.

Tightened my bike chain today. Heard it rattling but my socket set only goes up to 21mm and my left side wheel nut is a 22mm :P
The chain came off so I had to carefully ride around til I could get to Dad's so he could help me tighten it up again.

I was listening to Pandora and I was thinking "Hm, it would be cool to hear something off of 'The Mountain' by Haken." The next song to come on was Atlas Stone. :metal

Well i think 100 dollars is about 60 pounds so ...
If I had that money it would go on getting my own place and fixing up my bike.
-
How much does your bike need now? I know you've had some parts for it and stuff.
Once I finish all of these damn icons, I'll have more than that, and I've already got plans for at least $2,000 of that.
-
We've got most of it - but I meant doing it up so it looks like new :)
Say $10,000 is £6,000 so $5,000 would be £3,000
That would be more than enough.
These Damn Icons Cahndles

Morning king! Current tally - 262.
I'm also trying to get back into building my BTTF2 set. So daunting to get back into, because I can't remember what was done or not done.

Hopy crap. How long ago did you stop working on that?
BTW chipping away at icons I see.

I'm probably averaging about 10-15 a day all things taken into account. Sometimes I can knock out batches of icons if they use common elements, other ones are just a pain in the ass. I think I've covered all of the easy ones by now. :lol
It appears that Feb 2014 was the last time I worked on the BTTF thing. Damn. And I really wanted this done in time for Oct 2015.
-
Morning, all.
BTW, Blob, not sure if it will happen in Australia, but here in the States the BTTF trilogy is being re-released in theaters in October.

Hef, I didn't know that. Is it just the regular release or anything added?

I've read about it on my various BTTF related pages, but no word on whether we'll get it here. I'll have to look into it, because I've never had the chance to see them on the big screen.
Hef, I didn't know that. Is it just the regular release or anything added?
That would be sacrilege! :lol
-
Hey yo. Pixels comes out today. Going to see it on Sunday ... jingle.son was an extra in 3 scenes, so we'll be on the lookout for him. This actually looks like a decent Adam Sandler movie.
-
Hef, I didn't know that. Is it just the regular release or anything added?
It might be remastered or something, but there isn't anything added to it.
It's not a George Lucas film.
-
Seems the norm of late though.
I own them so that's a no go for me going to them. i just hit the theaters for new releases. with the TV's at home and the 5.1 we all have, there's less of an excitement to see re releases.

I am disappoint.
From a half-assed search, I can't find any info on it being shown here. Not sure I could drag anyone else along to watch it with me though.
-
I love going to re-releases. Seeing a loved film on the big screen again, the way you first encountered and loved it, is a completely different and more awesome feeling than just cueing up the DVD.
They just don't happen as much anymore.
I went to the 25th anniversary re-release of Ghostbusters. That was awesome.
-
It just doesn't excite me seeing old movies in the theaters again. It's the feeling of watching a sports event recorded that I know the outcome. I'm probably in the minority but it just doesn't do it for me.
-
BTW Blob, did you see the cameo of Dr. Emmett Brown in "A Million Ways To Die In The West"?
-

That's the only reason I chose to watch it. :lol (even though the entire cameo was in the trailer before it came out). Not a bad movie overall either.

And a lot of people have never had the experience of seeing these movies at the cinema at all, so I think it's a great idea for these more popular films that have the demand. BTTF came out just before I was born. Damn.

I should have known better. :lol

Watching a movie at the cinema with a bunch of fans who love it just as much sounds like a pretty fun one-off experience compared to sitting at home and watching it the same way again.
-

I do but not as much as others. If I'm going to the movies it's for new releases. TV shows take up more of my life at home.

Generally I'm right with you, but it's BTTF man!
-
I think that last re releases I went to was Star Wars in the 90's with all the CGI added. The other pull to see it was a new theater they had close to us that had the first curved screen like the TV's now. It was huge.
-
I went to see BTTF on the big screen for the 25th in 2010.
It was digitally remastered. No extra footage. No walkie talkies instead of guns. No new CGI.
It was amazing ! Firstly - seeing my favourite film of all time on the big screen ( for the first time ) and all the audience laughing and cheering in all the right places :) :)
So good. * I totally didn't tear up like some kind of man baby.
I also went to see BTTF 3 in the cinema when that came out. So the only one i've not seen on the big screen is 2.
I'd love it if my local cinema showed all 3 films back to back ( to the future :neverusethis: ). i would be there or I would Be Square !!!! :D :D

Just got off the bike, off to the farmer's market shortly, then a charity softball game... I'm just spectating though. Then Pixels with the family, capped off by an 'evening in the square' in our downtown. We have this huge LED screen and every Saturday they show family movies - Penguins of Madagascar tonight. Tuesday is retro night, and they showed Jaws last Tuesday. 'twas awesome.
Mostly a chill day tomorrow.

Cool stuff.

This Cougar Life ad on TV makes no sense at all. First of all, as if a student would forget having a teacher that hot. Secondly, the fake profile only lists her as 34, which is not a cougar. Thirdly, the chick is actually only 30. Fourthly, I'm pretty sure the dude who is supposed to be the ex-student is actually older than her anyway. Or seriously into meth.

Good morning.
Working (probably a bit of overtime today again. Worked a 12 yesterday) and then this evening gonna chill at a bar, drink, and watch mah buddy's cover band play.

I am actually pretty hungry.
And the only reason I'm this plastered is a friend of mine or 3rd something, and said it was way too strong for her. Mind you she has a high alcohol tolerance. Higher than me. She then dared me to chug it..Which I did.

i've heard Weekend At Bernie's 2 is one of the worst films of all time...
-
You've heard correctly. :lol While I haven't seen even a fraction of every film of all time, I'd certainly give it my vote.
The first film is fun for what it is, but the second film just ruins whatever charm the first film had and throws in some voodoo crap and a corpse in a mini-fridge and some buried treasure.

What's the total again? It's in the high 800's correct?
-

I'm not sure on the exact total, because there are some I'm not 100% on whether I need to do (and obviously haven't done yet). Somewhere from 800 - 950 though.
-
That is a lot of icons.

None at all. These are all just drawn up in Photoshop. Technically they're very simple and quick, the challenge is making them look legible and good at such a small size.

Got it.
Not to many more movies I want to see in theaters though I did promise the wife we would go to a drive in.

For the rest of the year it's just Bond and maybe Star Wars for me. I generally don't care much for movies.

I don't even know when Bond is coming out. Star Wars is a must for me.

Bond is in November. I thought it was coming out next year, until the second trailer came out recently.

I saw it but didn't remember the date. My mind is fried of late. Work does it. I need a vacation. That's in September.

Doctor Who is also in September. :blob:
Lots of great shows starting soon. I can't wait. And the new episode of Humans was excellent as usual. Pretty much everything is revealed at this point.

I'm up to the owner having sex with the robot and his son dissing a real life girl for his love of the robot. Everything seems to be tying together a bit.

SPECTRE is October apparently.
A few Bond Movies have come out on November 7th - which is my birthday - so me and Dad used to go and watch them together :)
We also used to all go and see the new Star Trek movies together up until Star Trek 2009. It used to be a family outing and a few friends to drive to the biggest cinema - which was 90 mins away.
See the new Star Trek movie and get takeaway afterwards. :)
Now that I live back in the same town as my Dad - we could catch the Bond together maybe.
And as it's the busy summer period - i'm getting more hours at work - which suits me - I need mo'money fo' rent yo'. :hat
-
I think it's late October in UK, but for most of the world it's November 6, which is close to November 7.
-
Yes, I'm very much looking forward to Spectre!
Guys I can honestly say I'm the happiest I've been in a few years :)

Enjoy it whilst it lasts. :tup

Nah, I like where life is at currently. I'm not really doing a whole lot, just working part time over the Summer with my mom and helping my dad with yard work, and I just got a 4.0 for the 2 summer semester courses I've taken. So I feel like I've been productive. I'm excited to go back to school. :tup

My brother seems to have a tiny bladder, so he doesn't drink during movies. :lol
-
Stephen Fry said this - and I already do i anyway - but always go to the loo twice before the film starts. I can usually last the entire movie then.
Also if I take drink in with me - sip it throughout the movie instead of guzzle it all in the first 10 minutes :P :P
-
How do you go to the toilet twice? Just make sure you pee it all out the first time. :lol I always make sure to pee before anything that will take a couple of hours or more. But that's common sense.

Cocaine yes, my wall street banker friend seemingly can find it anywhere we go. There was also a fire https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/pool-fire-cosmopolitan-fueled-fake-foam-palm-trees-32719751
We were staying at that hotel on the 44th floor but weren't there at the time it happened.

I saw that on the news. Crazy.
-
What blew me away is how fast they put it out and how quickly they put everything back in order

It looked like a huge fire as well!

It did but it wasn't as bad as the smoke would lead you to believe, a lot of plastic was on fire (trees and furniture)

Today I heard the song " Have You Forgotten " by Red House Painters.
Oh my fucking God. The singer literally cannot be bothered.
-
Red House Painters are awesome what are you on about.
-
:lol Dear God it's like 7 minutes of the same 30 seconds over and over and over.
-
dude what
-
Repetitiveness can be used with artistic intent - it doesn't mean that they "cannot be bothered".
Indeed, the topics that RHP cover in their lyrics lend themselves perfectly to the music that they write and perform.
-
Here is a great tune that repeats from lyrics to chordal structures. It's damn awesomesauce.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eLnhDzf6p8
-
dude what
Any twat can play Em7 Cadd9 And G in a lazy fashion and mumble some lovey dovey shit over the top.
-
Putting aside that I disagree with your assessment of RHP in general, does that mean that something that people cannot copy - for instance, something that is more technical - is automatically better? Because, you know, not "any twat" can do it then.
-
My friend is a sound engineer and likes folk music.
I used to tag along to a *lot* of acoustic festivals with him because he had a really nice car and they were often far away - mostly in London - and I loved going for the ride.
The amount of acts that I got to hear that sounded identical to that song...I couldn't possibly count.
There's nothing special or unique or interesting or original about it in the slightest. It's boring and tedious.

There are those days when the focus is just better, things run smooth.
Brutal here today. Low 90's and the humidity is bad.
-
There are those days when the focus is just better, things run smooth.
And that's mine gone for the next year. :lol
Humidity is the worst. I can tolerate dry heat pretty well, but when it's humid, it's unbearable even if it's not as hot.
-
Stress is something that affects my focus. I feel like checking out. It's because i have to be "on" all the time so zoning out is my zen. Block it all out.

Consciousness affects my focus. Stupid jerk brain. :getoffmylawn:

Currently talking to this girl, and we've been hanging out some. Last night we went and sat outside of Starbucks and just talked for about 2 hours. We both leave for fall semester in a few weeks, but it'll be different universities. We still plan to talk and hang out on weekends though. We'll see what happens.
What's everyone up to tonight?

So how is Oz today ? It's fairly sunny here so i'll probably go for a ride in a while. Not supposed to be working but they asked me to do 2-3 hours later today to help close.
:biggrin: My wallet says yes.
-
It got up to about 20C, fairly sunny. I went for a nice walk a bit after 3pm. Supposed to be at least 20C for the next few days.
My wallet would say yes to any money at the moment. :lol
-
I'm meant to be doing about 28 hours a week for the kids holidays - which are for the next 5 weeks or so.
After that i'll need to rely on Housing Benefit to give me a boost with the rest.
-
I have the housing benefit of living with my parents. :neverusethis:
I'm so lucky to have this work making icons right now. Every day it's nice to figure out how much money I've earned with each day's work (although I haven't gotten paid anything yet, as I haven't sorted out payment details yet or sent them anything yet, but that should start soon).
-
I hope you have some kind of written contract and they're not going to just do a runner when you hand over the work.
This almost happened to my brother recently with a record label and several videos he did.
He made them put a clause in the contract that stated he'd be paid the moment he handed over the videos.
When he did they were like " when the band pay US what they owe us then we'll pay you. "
Bro was like " No. You guaranteed in your own contract you'd pay up as soon as I delivered the videos. You're now in breach of your own contract ".
And they still weren't forthcoming. So then they went ahead and uploaded all the videos to YouTube.
So then my bro says : " You've not paid me for the videos - you've not bought the rights - therefore i still own all the rights and you're stealing my work and I can do whatever I want with these videos
and until you buy them off me - you can't legally use them."
They paid up pretty soon after :lol
Record Companies. ::) He says he has the same problem with every label he works with. Dad and I suggested he make his own contract which they have to agree to - which states that he is to be paid
immediately upon receipt of the video.
No wonder majors are so fucked.
-
Yeah, that's downright shitty behaviour. I don't think any other industry is as scummy as the music industry.
This is the company my friend works for, and I trust that they're honest.
-
It's like they see paying people as a luxury and something to be avoided.
The whole thing about " when the band pays back their advance and clear their debts "... Fuck off. There was absolutely nothing in the contract that mentioned this...
It's like if they paid my bro and he said "....yeah i'll do the work when my Auntie passes away and i get my inheritance and by a new computer to do the work on..."
-
The band's debt is not your problem, it's their problem from the contract between the band and the label. If you are hired to do work for them, you get paid. This is how the rest of the world works. A lot of bands never pay off their advance, which they know, so they're probably trying to minimize their losses in a seedy way.
-
This is all obvious stuff you'd think.
Turned out the guy my bro was having problems with replaced the guy who made the original contract - so he had no idea that my bro already had a contract with the company.
This new guy assumed they were doing " avoid paying at all costs " and didn't know the company already had a contract before he joined so he paid straight away... :lol
Still though - trying to avoid paying with some shitty excuse - as your GO TO when trying to do "business". Just appalling behaviour.
-
it's like saying " You'll be paid the moment there's a full moon on a Tuesday on Feb 29 ".
-
This is why I hate the business side of contract work (even though most of my experiences have been very good). I just want to agree to do something for a price, then get it done and and sorted, without the hassle of dealing with people chasing things up. Even when they're honest and fair, things can often get forgotten or overlooked or delayed. It's unnecessary stress on top of getting the work done on time.
-
You'd think that was the very reason a contract exists.
But businesses are so slimy - they use a legally binding agreement to their own advantage.
-
I haven't done music videos, but I've worked for record labels for advertisements, and I haven't had any problems. They were generally slow with payment, but always reliable.
I'm sure some record labels will be worse than others, and it may also depend on which department you're dealing with. That label would be one to avoid.
-
I hate anything like that.
It's the same with Landlords. If something in your house breaks - they are extremely lax at getting it done but if your rent is even a day late - they're on the phone immediately.
-
Morning folks!

I think this depends on the situation. The apartment I live in now and the apartment is very lax about certain things, like our upstairs neighbors being incredibly loud, but after calling almost every day for 4 weeks I finally got their attention.
I've also been on the other side of things and I was a landlord, you have to walk the line with people, some will bitch about absolutely everything.

And that's why you're where you are, and they're where they are. It will catch up with them in the end (hopefully).

I was a good tenant. i kept my apartment spotless. I paid rent on time. At worst it was paid the day after it was due.
I didn't just ring up and moan about stuff constantly. I let them know if the heating or water was not working but it was never like " ffs - get over right now and do your f--in job ".
It does need to go both ways too.

Yea, it's sometimes hard to reach a medium.

I want to work a lot because I need to pay rent out of my own pocket for two months or so because allegedly thats how long it takes to get my housing welfare. :)
When I get it - it will be around £150 a month extra income - which will be a nice top up.

It's all about what kind of worker your friend is.

I trust him to do the job. My only issue is I have never seen him on time. At least for social shit.
It was funny how it worked. We swung by my office yesterday to pick up my bike, which I had left. We were in a hole, due to losing 2 employees.. I casually asked my boss how the schedule was going. He gave me a look of dread, and said "we're fucked!" That's when my buddy said "well what do you have available?"
One thing lead to another and he interviewed today, and is on the schedule starting Monday.
Lol...
I also just got off a call with a coworker. Until my buddy, along with 2 other new people, start, we are still fucked. I was originally going to be working 3 12 hour shifts in a row, while training people during 2 of them. Thanks to another coworker jumping in, I only have to deal with 2 (tomorrow and Saturday), and I am training people on Saturday -Monday.
It's going to be a LONG fucking week.

Every week is long for me. Paying the cost for being the boss.
Morning.

Creeping up there. So what's going on in Blob's world this weekend?
-
Oh you know, Blob stuff.
-
So as a verb you would be "Blobing".
I know you will be shocked but I'm going to my friends house Sunday for a graduation party for his eldest daughter who graduated high school and is going to college in Florida in a month.

I am positively flabbergasted! I assume there will be the consumption of cake?
And you even spelled my new verb wrong. It's blobbing.
-
Well if there is cake and booze involved it would be, "Blobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbing".

Damn this camera match. Why can I not manage to match up a flat checkered floor? It literally does not get easier than this.

BTTF 3D you working on? Is that the soda shop?

BTTF 3D you working on? Is that the soda shop?
Yeah, the Cafe '80s. The floor is checkered lino, so it should be easy as hell to match up, but it's not lining up and I have no idea why. It's close, but not close enough for me.

Morning your Hefness. How's the heat down there? Today the humidity dropped finally. The last 3 days was in the 90's with the humidity in the 70's. Brutal for us up here.

Highs in the low 90s, lows in the mid-to-upper 60s. Pretty standard for this time of year. If the humidity is low, it's not unbearable.
ATM it is 78.

68° with 86% humidity :coolio

I had a dream that my parents picked me up in their car. As I was getting in, my parents told me they were listening to Prince. There was something familiar but different about the singer's voice. Then I realized that I was listening to a song by prince featuring Steven Wilson. My first thought was "where's the mellotron solo?"
Also, today marks two years since I first set foot on Australian soil. This photo was taken almost immediately after I got off of the plane. The next day, I would be off to the first placed I lived, Sydney's eastern suburbs.

I had a dream last night that I was in a wheelchair, but didn't need a wheelchair, and I threw the wheelchair at my sister.

Then I went to my room and it was full of Lego.

When I was in Australia, I had this dream that I went to a guy's house in Blacktown and saw all these spiders building their webs in his clothesline. I spun the clothesline around and all the spiders got caught in their own webs. I felt sorry for them, so I undid the web, but when I did, the spiders turned out to be a turtle.

Unlike my last place which was a studio flat comprising of Bedroom/Lounge/Kitchenette and a shower room...
This new place is seperate Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room and Bathroom :)
I have to pay all utilities but I'm not fussed about that just yet. I've had to before. I'm applying for housing welfare next week and i'm doing lots of extra hours at work :) :)

Slow day at work. I am watching Netflix and sitting on the couch until I get off.

Mother fucker... it's August already. WTH??
Don't get me going about humidity. A couple of weekends ago, I woke up to let the dogs out in the morning, and the sliding glass doors were covered in water - I couldn't see outside. I thought to myself 'holy crap it must've rained hard, and at a helluva angle to soak the doors that much'. I opened the door to let them out, and my deck was bone dry. No rain. Looked to my weather station, and it was 99% humidity.
Gonna rain here most of the weekend, so jingle.son and I are gonna catch up on MI 1, 3, and 4... then hit Rogue Nation sometime before I have to travel to Phx next week. Gonna get me some chicken pot pie while I'm down there. :caffeine:
-
Chad, man you are up early! The humidity has been terrible here as well. I'm going to get all 17 hairs cut today off my head. got a managers meeting the week of aug, 10th -14th in Columbus, OH. Joy, joy.

A tad hungover this morning. Good time yesterday at family friend's place - awesome food, couple glasses of wine, couple of tumblers of scotch - likely triple's - and my head has a slight throb.
Just finished doing some outdoor chores, got some inside work to do. Mission Impossible I and III today, along with a few inside honey-do items. Weather is beautiful at the moment, but rain is supposed to be on the way.
More of the same tomorrow - it's a holiday for us up here.
-
Morning King and Jingle!
We have had some serious rain here for over a week, everything is a mess and the ground is soaked.

I had a guy this weekend quit because life is too hard outside of jail. He's struggling to get by and wants to go back to jail.
We've got to make jail time miserable. Can you imagine saying that? He's a good kid too just losing himself. I tried to get him to call our employee assistance program hotline but he made up his mind and left Saturday during his shift.
-
Morning.
Sorry I've been MIA as of late. Been busy as fuck. Hopefully after today it all calma down.

Hey, king. I'm almost caught up on HUMANS. I'm also intrigued by what I've seen of Mr. Robot. Is there similarity between the series? If they are too close in concept, I don't want to waste my time.
-
Mr. Robot has nothing to do with Robots. It's is so damn good that I don't want to tell you anything about it. Watch the 1st episode and you'll be hooked.
-
I haven't seen Mr Robot, but from what I've read, I don't think there's any similarity at all.
If it actually had something to do with robots, I would have seen it by now. :lol

Cool. How's that regulated over there? Does everyone who needs it get the same amount?

It depends on your wages. If you're unemployed it can be about £70 a week.
But you give them your payslips and they work out how much you're entitled to from that.
I don't do a set number of hours a week.

Sounds like Blob porn. Some of the best boxing matches I ever saw were female fights. No defense what so ever. Fists were a flyin'!

Boxing is the worst thing ever. Unless it's fictional boxing with a fictional Russian.

Well I was at one of the best fights ever. Micky Ward vs. Arturo Gatti. When the bell rang after the last round the whole place broke out in fights, beer flying everywhere, guys ripping off shirts it was nuts! Animal instincts really. It was amazing. Though there has been some real clunkers I've been to as well.

This is the case for many newer movies. I haven't watched the video you linked yet, but even the title is basically spot on. When you have a CG character at the forefront, people know it's CG, and notice the flaws. When an entire background is replaced with CG, it's often seamless and goes unnoticed.

Good morning.

What do you mean "we"? You're not the one making it. :lol
I think the fact Avatar wasn't human was still one of the biggest factors. People can recognize even the tiniest discrepancy when it comes to the human face, a lot of which is not an issue (or much less) for blue cat people despite being very humanoid. That includes the correct look of skin with sub surface scattering and pores, the complex muscle structure used for expression (although the mouthes were basically human and are probably the best I've seen), and the eyes, which are very hard to replicate to look alive, and perhaps the part of the face humans are most tuned to, being the first part of the face we focus on and recognize when we're young.
That's not to take anything away from Avatar, but not being human makes a huge difference at a sub-conscious level, which is why the uncanny valley so far still proves to be uncrossed in my opinion.
-
I said we were getting better. I didn't say we were there yet.
I know they weren't human, but I think the Na'vi in Avatar have been the most convincing CGI main characters so far.
What do you mean "we"? You're not the one making it. :lol
I think the fact Avatar wasn't human was still one of the biggest factors.

Fair enough. James Cameron says on the behind the scenes stuff that the eyes are the most difficult element when making a CGI face. He said if he didn't get the eyes right, no one would buy into the na'vi as being characters they should care about.
As for "we", I meant the royal we, man

How's it going today? I got an allergy test yesterday (70 needles) and I'm allergic to 4 types of grass, 5 types of mold, 3 types of trees, dust mites and some weird root that can be in shampoo and toothpaste.

Better to know, I suppose. Any particular reason you had the test done? Hopefully nothing too bad!
Dr Blob can also confirm that you're allergic to correct grammar.

But CGI 1984 Arnie in Terminator Genisys looked pretty damn good.

CGI Jeff Bridges from Tron Legacy was impressive.
He really wasn't.
But CGI 1984 Arnie in Terminator Genisys looked pretty damn good.
The model and rendering were quite good, but there was very limited facial animation, being an emotionless robot, and they had precise 3D scans of the head and reference footage to help them out. I'm not sure how well it would have help up under any other circumstances (which I guess doesn't really matter, as it did the job).
Overall I thought the CG in Genisys was not very good, but I thought the movie itself was great.
-
Genisys was a lot better than I was expecting. I was expecting Total Recall 2012 levels of suckage.
The entire opening act was great. And I really liked Jason Clarke as John Connor.
The Asian T-1000 was the most redundant part of the entire movie. Why was he dressed the same as the original T-1000 ? Because T2 ?
So he just turns up in 1984 and the first person he kills & mimics just happens to be a police officer wearing the same uniform...
That whole plotline didn't go anywhere. He could have been 1984 Arnie and it would have made more sense.

In a practical sense, they would have wanted to eliminate 1984 Arnie as quickly as possible because of the CG involved, and they also probably needed a bad guy to throw the scent off John Connor being the bad guy for most of the movie (which they stupidly gave away in the trailer anyway). Why was he a cop? Maybe just coincidence that it was the best way to track down the target, or maybe the T-1000 is programmed with the directive to take out someone of authority to make it easier to fulfill its mission, having access to police resources and not worrying about anyone else interfering.
He was ultimately redundant to the plot, but I can see how he served some purpose.

All that. But the liquid metal FX looked better in 1992.

All that. But the liquid metal FX looked better in 1992.
I'd say about comparable for the CG, although it was certainly more impressive in 1991. I'm not sure what else you'd do with the effect though, and they were trying to copy the original. The practical effects give T2 the edge though, especially the blobs at the end initially forming back together.

I definitely thought that overall it was better than the previous movie at the very least. Probably about on par with 3. Not bad but not awful.

We have no one to fill a couple shifts coming up... So it looks like I may have 2 more 12 hour shifts coming up. One of them right after a turn around shift. (Work 3p-11p, go home, come back at 7a till 7p, go home, come back and work 7a-7p again)
:emo:
Yea work is the reason I've been so quiet. Even right now, which is my DAY OFF, I am trying to figure coverage out.
And this is right after telling my boss that I am NOT working any more OVERTIME until the end of the month.

Approaching my first week in my new house and it's been great ( so far ).
Small problems like - my wet room collects water in one spot that doesn't dry - so i just bought a mop to run over the floor once i'm done showering. Solved. :tup
Also - I have to pay all utilities. I don't need hot water for washing up, my shower is electric and it's summer so I don't need the gas until Winter = less bills :tup
Doing way more hours at work so that *should* easily hold me over until my housing allowance is paid.
The upstairs flat *so far* hasn't been noisy. My first night was a bit stressful as I was expecting to hear loud music at 3am. Hasn't happened yet.
Plus this time - if things *do* get a bit noisy - My Dad's house and my Grandad's house are 6 miles away so i've got other places I can crash for the night. In Reading I was kinda trapped in my flat.
IRONY TIME !
Work is like a 5 minute walk from my house - so I don't really have any excuse to be late but on Wednesday - my alarm was set for 8:30 to get me in to work for 10:00 - but for whatever
reason It didn't wake me up and I woke up - at 10:00am :lol oopsie.
Yo yo yo. Gettin me some chknpotpie for dinner tonight.

It's the newest Lego Batman one, it came out a bit less than a year ago. Of course I wait until I can scab it cheaper. I also have Lego Hobbit to play through, and I have Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends on the way.

XBOX 360.

My brother is an X-box guy. He had that but bought the One after Christmas. I haven't had the chance to check it out that much.

I'm only game occasionally, so I have zero interest in the new consoles. We only got the XBOX 360 because the new consoles had just come out, so we could get it cheaper. :lol

Excellent. My work here is done. Still working on a couple more for ya - "Classic" and "Canadian" vs the lawn. The former won't be songs you don't know, just ones you haven't heard in a long time (at least, that's the goal). Probably the same on some of the Canadian ones too.

I am so looking forward to them!

Crazy month this month and next. We were away at Ocean City, MD July 25-Aug 1. Today, we're heading to Hershey to see Alice Cooper/Motley Crue. Next week, we're off to Providence/Boston/Foxboro for sightseeing and AC/DC. Following week, we're off to VA for my niece's wedding, then on to Asheville, NC to see Mrs. C's grandmother. 9 states in a little over a month. Then later in September, we're having a big bash for my 40th birthday.
-
big bash for my 40th birthday.
We're all invited??

Put me down for a +1. We'll both have the steak.

Funny enough, Mrs. C. basically said "You're not stupid, you know there will be some sort of big to-do for your 40th, so rather than try to hide it and surprise you, I'll just enlist you to smoke pork, since you enjoy it so much". Now supposedly my brother will be coming as well and he's well versed in BBQ enough that he can handle this himself whilst I enjoy myself, so it isn't like my whole birthday bash will be spent babysitting the smoker (although that IS pretty enjoyable). We've toyed with the idea of having someone in to do a whole pig kinda thing, but if I do pulled pork myself, I know it will get done right. There won't be any half-assed chewy or tough meat going on, if it's in my hands. I would prefer that my friends all walk away groaning over how good it was as opposed to saying to themselves "meh, the pork wasn't that good".

I'm sorry Jingle, I was planning on shooting you a message but I'm cutting my trip really short. Things aren't good at home with the gf and I cracked a molar and it's hurting like a bitch.
-
Dang. I feel for ya. Teeth pain is among the worst. And for whatever reason ( at least in the UK ) - you can't go to the ER ( A&E ) for dental pain. No doctor will do fuck all.
You have to book a dentist. And just deal with the pain til one can see you. It's fucking bullshit.
Now they've started introducing emergency dentists for when you really can't wait. So that's something...
-

Thanks Jingle, I'm up usually a couple times a year so I'll definitely look you up.

Been riding much ? I can't imagine all that vibrating and shaking and putting helmet on / taking it off would help much :(
Its been nice weather recently so i've been riding but my arm still badly aches when i'm riding. Must be the position it's in when i'm holding the handlebars :emo:
But I coat my arm in Ibuprofen Gel twice a day and that's really been helping.

I have to make such a tough decision. I can only do one of these things, not both:
On October 10th,
A) Go to the FSU vs Miami football game in Tallahassee, FL.
B) Go see The Dear Hunter in Atlanta, GA.
Can't do both, as they are the same time. I've been to several FSU games over the years, as we go to about 4-5 per year. They are always so much fun, and it's one of my biggest passions, college football, specifically Florida State football. However, The Dear Hunter is becoming one of my favorite bands and I'd hate to miss the chance to see them live. I've only been to one concert ever, and that was BTBAM last year. It was a lot of fun and I'm disappointed I've missed out on so many great concert opportunities. They are touring for their new album (Act IV), which I am super excited for. I can't decide. But I have to soon because I want to make sure I can get tickets to the concert before they sell out, and I need to let my dad known ahead of time if someone needs to take my place for the FSU game. There's some risk involved, especially going to the FSU game. What if the game sucks? What if we lose? I'd really regret it then. But what if it's a classic, and I miss the damn thing?!

Didn't Sharknado 3 do something like that ? :lol
Giving birth INSIDE A SHARK WHILST IN RE - ENTRY.
Yessir, yes it did. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. :rollin
-
I know that they're meant to be shit - but I think so in a BAD way. You can never MAKE a cult film - it has to happen. i think they're trying WAY too hard.
I tried watching the first one and I couldnt last 5 mins.
-
Have you seen Ghost Shark, Blob? It's not as stupid (though it is still stupid) but it's pretty funny.
-
But you're Kotowboy. You should have known it wasn't for you. :lol

I haven't seen it. I've got a lot of catching up to do!
-
But you're Kotowboy. You should have known it wasn't for you. :lol
If it was a straight comedy i might enjoy it more - but it's trying desperately to be a cult hit - getting obscure 80s stars in for that kitschy throwback charm - but it just fails on every level.
( yes, for me :P )
+
it's like they've given up trying to make a better shark movie than JAWS so have gone to the extreme polar opposite :lol
-
But Jaws has been done, so you can't top it these days and have the same impact. And have you seen the budget they're working on for Sharknado and similar films? They're creating MAGIC.

Last day for our conference. I'm ready to go home. Going to see MI4 tonight.
And then after that, maybe you can see the new one. :biggrin:
Oops the new one. :lol

You'd think with all the shit I constantly give you, you'd have started proofreading your posts by now. :P

That would take the fun out of it though :P

Been riding much ?
No I haven't been riding but I plan to go riding this weekend I think. We'll see what the weather is like.
Morning guys, sitting in the airport now waiting to board the plane to New Jersey.

About a week ago they canceled Amanda Tapping for Sydney Comic-Con, then today they announced David Hewlett as a replacement. Could not have chosen a better replacement. :biggrin:

I have to make such a tough decision. I can only do one of these things, not both:
On October 10th,
A) Go to the FSU vs Miami football game in Tallahassee, FL.
B) Go see The Dear Hunter in Atlanta, GA.
Can't do both, as they are the same time. I've been to several FSU games over the years, as we go to about 4-5 per year. They are always so much fun, and it's one of my biggest passions, college football, specifically Florida State football. However, The Dear Hunter is becoming one of my favorite bands and I'd hate to miss the chance to see them live. I've only been to one concert ever, and that was BTBAM last year. It was a lot of fun and I'm disappointed I've missed out on so many great concert opportunities. They are touring for their new album (Act IV), which I am super excited for. I can't decide. But I have to soon because I want to make sure I can get tickets to the concert before they sell out, and I need to let my dad known ahead of time if someone needs to take my place for the FSU game. There's some risk involved, especially going to the FSU game. What if the game sucks? What if we lose? I'd really regret it then. But what if it's a classic, and I miss the damn thing?!
You've been to lots of football games.
Go to Dear Hunter.
-
Good point. What I'll probably do is record the game and just tell my Dad not to tell me the results when he goes to the game so when I get back home I can watch it.

You're more into that than seems necessary.
I could never watch later a game that has already happened. If I miss it, I miss it, and catch the highlights.

Now I'm in New Jersey, had an airport burger, wasn't great.

Fuuuck.
I decided to take a half day today because my workload is kind of light and I wanted to start my weekend ASAP.
Just got a text from an animal hospital saying an appointment has been scheduled for 2:00.
I called my girlfriend to see what's up. Turns out both our dog and cat have pink eye. Now I get to spend my half day in a waiting room and putting another $200 on my Amex card. :tdwn
-
Morning guys
I'm sorry to hear that Chino, I hope your dog and cat get better soon.
What is everyone up to this weekend?

Watched some TV, making a half-assed attempt at work, and messing around in Unity on my game for the first time in ages.

What is everyone up to this weekend?
I'll watch the Panthers preseason game tonight.
Tomorrow I will be childless most of the afternoon, so anything could happen. Maybe a movie, maybe a trip to the mountains.
Sunday will involve school shopping for my daughter and dinner with my brother.
-
What is everyone up to this weekend?
Tomorrow, we're spending the entire day in the yard as weedmageddon 2015 continues. This is what I miss about having an apartment. I didn't have to worry about this kinda shit. Then later, we're heading out to see a friends' acoustic duo at a place I used to play, but first, we're hitting up a historic dive that is apparently well known for their "hot-chee dog" (that's pronounced as one word, like "Chachi" from Happy Days). They use Kessler's hot dogs, which are skinless, grilled on a flat-top. It's then wrapped in American cheese, put in the bun, and topped with mustard, their homemade chili, and onion. Apparently it's some sort of rite-of-passage to eat a hot-chee dog. I'm looking forward to it.
Then Sunday, likely nursing another hangover, and likely lounging around the pool drinking more. I turn 40 in 42 days and apparently I'm still trying to relive my 20's.
Also, I will be avoiding anything that even remotely resembles football.

Nice, this is that game I played right?
Sounds like a nice day Hef! I just got back from the dentist, she gave me a 30 pill prescription for hydrocodone which I thought was a bit much but she is such an awesome and cheap dentist. I have the whole apartment to myself, no gf, no dog, no cat just silence.
-
Awesome day Coz and happy early birthday, I'd love a hot dog right now.

That sounds pretty damn good (although I'd prefer real cheese).

Sportball? What's that?
So you're basically a decade ahead of me. I think it's the dream to live all of one's life like you're still in your 20's. :lol
-
The weeds this year have been unusually brutal. Found a home-made concoction that kills them within a few hours (using it on the patio and sidewalks), but man, others just keep popping up.
Was going to stain my sub-deck, but it's raining today, an into the morning. Won't be dry enough to do tomorrow, and then it's forecasted to rain again on Monday. So, next weekend maybe - as I'm heading back to Phoenix Monday morning.
That hot-dog sounds like the cat's meow.

I'm 28 but if I lived my life like I was in my 20's (especially my early 20's) I wouldn't make it past 33 :lol

I'm still not convinced I'll make it past 33.
-
My body doesn't seem to be a real huge fan of me trying to relive my 20's though, that's the issue.
I will be sure to report back on my hot-chee dog experience. I too was hoping it would be a different kind of cheese, preferably a nacho cheese sauce, but that's okay, I'm sure it will be good.
jb, what's this homemade weed killer you've stumbled upon?
-
I'm 28 but if I lived my life like I was in my 20's (especially my early 20's) I wouldn't make it past 33 :lol
I think about that every time I 'party' these days. I drink 10 beers and am pretty much down for the count by midnight. I feel like absolute death the next day as well. I have no idea how I use drink a 750 of Bukoff by 9PM as a pregame.
-
On a particularly rambunctious night, I can get through about 6-8 beers and about a third of a bottle of Jack. Then the next day at work, I bend down to get something out of a drawer and the room goes funny for a moment.

I completely agree, I don't know how the hell I used to party 4 days a week for 5 years. If I go on a bender now I'm completely broken for the day, maybe even two days.

In my dream last night I drank a can of light beer quietly in a library. That's the closest I've come to drinking. True story.

Hi Reap - managed to tighten my own bike chain today :)
I think i'll need to take a link out of it soon. Almost at the largest notch on that cam thing.
I've been working like 11 days in a row so work let me leave a bit early today so I could have a sort of break.
We always close early on Sundays anyway so that's another short shift too :)
Just two weeks left of summer holidays then the kids go back to school so i'm hoping it will go back to being quiet and I can get 3 days a week off again :dangerwillrobinson:

Nice! :tup! I have some long overdue maintenance I need to do on my bike, change the fluids, check the spark plugs, check the valve clearance and maybe wash it but it's so very tough when it's so damn hot outside.
-
Oh nice. I'm kinda missing a lot of the summer from working so damn hard but the money should be worth it ...
My MOT is due in three days so i'm gonna go up Dad's place tomorrow and try and fit my new dash and see what else we can do.
My starter button is pretty much gaffers taped in place. It's been that way for 4 months and been absolutely fine but it'll probably not pass like that so i dunno...
-
How often do you have to get your bike inspected?
-
The MOT is every year I think ? Not entirely sure.
Tax & Insurance is yearly too so it would make sense...

Anyway, those are usually some very shy birds, they are always around in the two huge salines/ponds on the other side of the beach, wandering idly and eating small insects in the shallow red waters, but they most often flee if anyone approaches them (usually with a camera).

Good afternoon. Was a hectic weekend. Worked half a shift yesterday (7a-11a), drove down to the San Gabriel Valley with Panda for her cousin's wedding... and then this morning went and had a champagne brunch at a fancy ass resort and country club with her Grandfather. I was in piggy heaven. Sadly I couldn't enjoy the champagne though.. had to rush my ass back home for work at 3p.
It was literally 110+ degrees the entire drive. Took 2.5 hours. No AC in the car. Yay!
-

Yuck. Does the car at least have a decent tint? That makes a decent difference, but without AC that's still hell.

Like the windows? They were all the way down. Lol

Oh right. :lol It does stop the car heating up as quickly when you're not in it, but it's been a long time since I've been in a car without A/C.

Damn. Sydney Comic-Con just announced Rachel Nichols from Continuum. That along with Richard Dean Anderson, David Hewlett and Christopher Heyerdahl from Stargate, and I'm going to be a poor man.

That's quite a lineup.

For me, that's a hell of a lineup!
Last year was Pete and Mika from Warehouse 13, and William Shatner (got a photo with the Shat, but the timing wasn't good for the others), but this year is even better. Comic-Con gets way better guests than Supanova.

Some day, we're going to see that pic of you and the Shat.

Begin totally ADHD doesn't help either. Last night I randomly came up with a new idea for a video, so I'm now making that instead of whatever I was working on before that. Should only be a quick project though, I should finish it either today or tomorrow.
-
I've been pulling at of 12's as of late, but usually 7a-7p, with the occasional 3a-3p. This was my first time working 3p-3a. It was... different. The good thing though is I was working with our 2 best and most experienced graveyard employees, one whom used to be a shift leader, and one who soon will be one... so I was just able to relax and get my shit done..usually when I'm in during a graveyard shift, I'm stuck holding people's hands the entire time.

A little over a week til the summer hols are over and our cafe quietens down.
:emo: this summer has been so busy that a few staff have left because they can't handle the workload. . .
But they've got a few more people starting soon so once everyone goes back to work / school it should be really nice and fun again.
I can't complain about my wages though :P
-
Good late morning guys!
Going to my gf's parents bloc party in the retirement community they live in, should make for an interesting day.

A little over a week til the summer hols are over and our cafe quietens down.
School has already started here and the hotel has completely died, we are now entering the slow season, really nice for a change.
-
Yeah it seems that on a busy day - like the last half hour before my shift ends - EVERYONE comes in . :(
That sucks so bad -and you can't leave until it's quiet...and people keep on piling in.
Without fail in the last half hour before i'm due to finish.
So it's like - one table leaves and you turn around and it's already filled up with new people and they haven't even waited for you to clear it first.
And we have four outside tables too so sometimes you have four new tables inside to serve and people coming in from outside trying to order and it's like
:dangerwillrobinson: holy fuck where do I start

In other news - my bike is due it's MOT so it's at Dads so his friend who rents one of the barns for his mechanic shop can look at it.
So it's off the road til it passes that. But winter is coming so I probably won't use it much. Except on nice days when the road is not ice :P
I already hate driving in anything less than gorgeous weather. There's NO WAY i'm going out driving on an icy day. NO WAY.
-
Riding a bike on ice sounds like a deathwish to me.
Speaking of less than gorgeous weather, it was 20C/68F and clear outside today. TOO HOT! :grumpycat: Yesterday was 16C, which was perfect walking weather.
(and yes, I went for a walk both days)
-
My Pedometer app says I do around 6 miles a day. I'll be beach bod ready just in time for......
..next summer ;D
-
Is that from specifically going for a walk, or is that just the cumulative total from being on your feet working?
Obviously I don't accumulate any miles from working. :lol My recent walks have been 2-3 miles.
-
It's everything in one day . Yesterday was 9 miles.

I doubt my total for the day would be much higher than my walk. :blob:

Been using them all day myself.
Agreed on that. :tup But it's a set of programs that's called Adobe Marketing Cloud and we're looking at the CMS. It just seems overly complicated, but that comes from someone who loves working with WordPress. :)
Never even heard of that one, so I'll let you have it. I'm not much into web stuff.
I use Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Audition constantly, and mostly love those. Just used them to put together another video.

Those are quality programs indeed. Photoshop is the only one I'll use myself and then, it's mostly to cut out stuff from a website layout someone else on the company has made.
-
I literally have Photoshop permanently open no matter what I'm doing. Any kind of graphical project I do will require it.

My number one program is probably Notepad++. :lol I hate all those resource demanding UI's. I like it simple, fast and clean.
-
I use Notepad++ too, if I need to view hex, or if I'm opening some code, or checking a file header.
Most of the stuff I do requires resource demanding UI's, hence the beast of a computer. :biggrin:

I can imagine that, when working with 3D objects and video editing. I'm just happy to just have to deal with lines of code. :lol

My friend is a programmer, so it's funny when he says that the project he's been working on for almost a decade is only a few hundred kilobytes to backup (it was well over 100k lines of code he'd written, can't remember how much more), and every project I create is tens of gigabytes.

Damon Lindelof goes to the cinema. Storms out halfway through because he understood the plot and everything made sense.

Forgot to say that recently I was out riding when I suddenly heard a SCREAMING like a plane was crashing. Looked around and there was a Ferrari overtaking me.
Holy fucking shit. That thing was LOUD. It sped off and I could still hear it a mile away.
Scared the crap out of me.
-
Jerk. That would have scared the crap out of me too. I'm sure it's not too hard to report the one guy who owns a Ferrari in the town either. :lol I thought the point of a car that expensive was to drive slowly and show off to everyone that you have enough money to compensate for your incredibly small genitalia. :P

So how do you know that Blob? You flag them over and rip of their pants? :lol

The only reason guys over 50 get ludicrously expensive cars is because they want to "score".

I don't take video, because that would be an invasion of their privacy. What kind of sicko do you take me for? I just check their wangs, and then I'm on my way.

Video games and darkening shades then. :lol

Ugh, I couldn't imagine wasting any real amount of money on video games. As it is, I only ask for them for birthdays when they're old and dirt cheap.
I'd spend my money on building elaborate scifi sets. :blob:

I don't begrudge anyone their toys. If a guy who can afford it buys a Ferrari, that's not a mid-life crisis. It's just a guy who can afford it buying a Ferrari.

I wish I had some form of motorized transportation.
My legs are killing me.
12 miles round trip to and from work, and since our cart is down, that same amount of riding around the property while I was there today. Finally got home, took a nice long shower, and getting ready to go out for ALL YOU CAN FUCKING EAT SUSHI, BITCHES!

Had a nice sleep in. Fall weather is descending upon us - only 13'C when mrs.jingle woke up this morning. Got some indoor and outdoor chores to do this weekend. Otherwise, low key. Maybe a firepit tonight.
-
I want 55 degree mornings. It's muggy as all hell here.
-
It was 27C here today, unseasonably warm for a winter day (even if the end of winter). We went to see a local wrestling show tonight, called Rock and Roll Wrestling. Not sure it really lived up to its name. :lol

It was somewhat lacking in all three departments. The other local wrestling promotions have better rock, and better wrestling. This had bad chick covers of both Separate Ways and Rock You Like a Hurricane. So disappointing.

Woke up really tired today and found it really difficult to get up.
Was not looking forward to work but we were not very busy today and we stopped serving after i'd been working 5 hours so that was nice.
I find the worst part of a shift is the first hour. That always seems to take the longest.
Mostly - once the first hour is over - the day trundles along quite nicely.

Wow. We pulled off a small miracle last night. Between the two of us, we drove home from MA after the show. Un-fucking-believable show, too. The sun was coming up when we got home.

:metal

There is something really nice about staying awake the entire night.
Only if you intended to though - not because you had insomnia.
Seeing the sun come up and not being tired all next day and getting a really good sleep the following night :)
-
Ours was determination to make a 6+ hour drive from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania at 11 PM without stopping and paying for a hotel. I still can't believe we did it.

I wasn't really looking forward to my 6.5 hour shift today but it went so fast. It felt like i'd worked an hour.
Love days like that.

Damn. What a hell of a weekend. We hit up Providence, RI on Wednesday, took a very cool gondola ride around the city, got some excellent pizza and some Mexican, and took a walk around looking at the city in general.
Thursday, we rode into Boston, took the Subway into town and took a cruise of inner Boston Harbor area, checking out all the sights, then got on a trolley tour of the city. Went to dinner at a random Irish pub, then went over to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, across the street to the Hard Rock Café, then hoofed it a good bit to the Bull and Finch, aka Cheers. The exterior shot used for the bar on the show. The inside is different, as what's seen on TV was a constructed set. Took the subway back and crashed at the hotel for the night.
Friday, got up to serious rain, took a taxi to the MIT museum, long enough for the rain to stop, then took the subway over to Regina Pizzeria, which is apparently one of the more awesome places to go for pizza in town. We went with the Meatball Pomodoro Fresco, based on reviews I'd read: Marinated tomatoes, Regina’s (sliced) meatballs, Mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan cheese, Regina’s garlic sauce and fresh basil. DAMN good. From there, we visited the Paul Revere house, then took the subway to the Samuel Adams brewery for a tour/tasting. Headed back to the hotel to rest a bit, then over to a new place (for us), Burger Dive. Pretty decent, I was more enthralled by the bananas foster milkshake I had.
Next morning, we went to Kelly's Diner, the first place ever featured on Diner's Drive-Ins, and Dives. We'd DVR'd some episodes and decided to watch some the night before leaving. They just aired a new episode where Guy went back and revisited the FIRST episode, and offered commentary over it (kinda like Pop-Up Video). The very first place he goes is this diner, I look it up and see it's 2 miles from our hotel. Had to do it and I'm glad we did. The homemade corned beef hash alone was worth the trip. Later, we met up with king and the Mrs. for lunch and some beer. Great people, great time had by all. Then we headed down to Foxboro for the whole point of the trip, AC/DC, supported by the band Vintage Trouble. VT was a pretty damned cool band. Think Wilson Pickett meets James Brown, backed by a rocking band. And it goes without saying that AC/DC put on an unbelievable show. It was our first time seeing them and they absolutely did not disappoint.
Then, as noted above, we had figured to drive a couple hours and either pull over at a truck stop for a few Zs or get a hotel room. But somehow, between the two of us switching off, we made the entire 6+ hour drive back home. Unreal.
So it was nice to be back home in my own bed. Now this Friday, we drive down to Roanoke, VA for my niece's wedding, then the next day we head to Asheville, NC to visit Mrs. C's grandmother. 9 states in 12 days. Holy crap.
Also, according to my pedometer, between Wednesday morning and Thursday night, we logged over 50,000 steps.

Decided to walk a 3 mile round trip every evening for a week and listen to a different Mastodon album.
Last night was Crack The Skye in full. Tonight is The Hunter in full. Tomorrow is probably Once More Round The Sun then i'll work my way backwards from Blood Mountain.

Power just came back on after being out for 3 hours. It was HORRIBLE.
At least my laptop was charged up though, so I could get a bit of programming done.

Every time the power goes out, I acted like a big baby. I can't live without my technology.

The rest of my family just basically went to sleep even though it was really early. :lol
Since my laptop was fully charged, I got through all 3 hours with a screen in front of me. :blob: Of course without power, I had no internet, so it was limiting. I was really brave.

That's the best part about have all gas appliances. I just keep making breakfasts until the power comes back on.

I wouldn't be cooking breakfast with some deathtrap gas device at midnight in the dark. But hey, that's just me. :neverusethis:

I know I could just up and pick a hundred things for this, but I'll let you guys have some fun.
I will be test driving some cars later and need a CD to try out the sound system with. Needs to have clean, strong production so that I can compare it at home easily with how it sounds in the cars.

I'm surprised the US (or your area) wasn't well ahead of us. Our local mall put them in a couple of years ago, and every other mall and large parking area already had them by that point. They are a great idea, because finding a parking spot can be a major pain in the ass when you're that close to your destination and just want to get out already.
-
Morning. Yeah, it's surprising but we don't have them in N.E.
-
It is a great idea for the consumer, but the garage owner is gonna foot the bill. Is he/she going to be able to increase prices because of this? Would you pay more at a garage that has this over one that doesn't? Not so sure about that. It might be a great benefit, but not sure the economics justify it.

what totally sucks is there's like about 20 albums i wanna check out on youtube right now and three albums i wanna order right now and three more coming in the mail tomorrow probably and also i have roulette entries to start listening to soon why is there so much music omg help
-
As far as first world problems go, that's not a bad one to have. :lol I haven't really been interested in listening to new music in forever.
My suggestion is to listen to them all simultaneously.

i should listen to kayo dot, then?

Reap. You were in Allentown PA? Nick lives there!

Really I didn't know that, for some reason I thought he lived in New Jersey.
Anyway my girlfriend got a job up there so she'll be traveling there from time to time so maybe I'll have an opportunity to meet him.

Yeah. PM him I know he would meet up.
-
And hell, Allentown's only like an hour and a half from me, maybe.

Whereabouts are you Coz?

Yes.
Also, good morning, everyone.

Coz is of course correct, if you're ever up here and want to meetup let me know. Depending on what you're looking to do I can always suggest some local places.
Where did your girlfriend get a job at?
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say she's in healthcare and got a job at the mega-behemoth and ever expanding Lehigh Valley Health Network.
-
I'll definitely look you up coz and prog!
She is a nurse and she got a job as an educator at B Braun. The pay and benefits are ridiculous.

My Grandad had a problem with his car so he asked one garage who quoted a lot of work and £1,000.
So a friend of his said to try his local garage and they said it was a piss easy fix and charged him £5 :lol

I'll strap a camera to my head or something. At least that way when I get lost, I can send it to someone to retrace my steps, and they'll be able to figure out whether I lost myself in the driveway of the neighbour to the left, or to the right.

Blob , I've been to Comic-cons before. You can get a little lost in there.

I've never been to a comic-con, I wanted to go to the one they have here in Tampa but it always turns out that I'm working or have some other plans.

Very occasional. I rarely bother with movies at all, one or two a year maybe. Movies mostly suck Hollywood balls.
I try to regularly walk these days, especially with the cooler weather, so it's more than it used to be.

I'm with you there. I have the hot weather. I am looking forward to fall.

This has been the busiest week for me in recorded memory.
Work every day, of course.
Monday evening: our band from church did a concert at a local nursing home.
Tuesday afternoon: eye doctor appointment.
Wednesday evening: talent show at church - I was the M.C. and also performed a song with my wife.
Thursday evening: band practice at church.
Friday evening: a friend is having some artwork debuted at a local gallery, so I have to go to that and miss the Panthers/Patriots preseason game.
Saturday: travelling to the mountains for a celebration of the 75th anniversary of a camp I used to work at as a counselor.
-
Not a moment to breath then hustle back home Sunday to do it all over again.
-
I don't know how you live in FLA Reap. That humidity is just too much.
Won't be living in FLA too much longer, I put in my notice and I'll be moving to Charlotte in February.
-
This has been the busiest week for me in recorded memory.
You record your memories?

Yep.
Day 1: Still tired from the move.
Day 2: Everyone talks to me like I'm an idiot.
And so forth.
-
Just had some pizza, I regret it, I'm slowly undoing all my hard work at the gym :(
-
Eek. I've had like three take aways in one month. I can't have it all the time. One every two weeks or so is fine and I do a shit load of exercise.
-
I used to work out all the time but I've gotten so busy this past year that it's really fallen by the wayside.
-
I don't work out im just on my feet a lot at work and walking around after work whilst it's sunny and doing actual walks.
Earlier this week I did 14 miles in one day.
I average 6+ miles a day.
I prefer to eat healthy food than junk food. Take away is nice like twice a month but I feel bad afterwards and never want it again ;D
I could *NOT* be one of those people who have junk food every day of the week and NEVER anything healthy. :( :puke:
-
That was me in college :lol. I was addicted to long distance running at the time though so I wasn't too chubby.
However when I moved in with my college girlfriend there seemed to less time for that and weight started to pile on.
-
I'm not a health freak but I don't like eating shit food. I don't know why i'm not a rake. Must have a shitty metabolism because I walk 6 miles a day and I barely eat anything.
-
In my dream last night, I wrote a song called "Christmas Ham", which consists only of the words "Christmas Ham" being sung repeatedly. I've had it stuck in my head all day. My mind works in all kinds of fucked up ways.
-
I love it.
-
:lol Morning hef. What are your plans for the weekend?
-
Today is the 75th anniversary of a Camp I used to work at as a counselor for 10 straight summers, so I will be attending that. That will take up most of today.
Tomorrow, just church in the morning, then collapse.
-
I like the collapsing part the most.
-
I like the collapsing part the most.
It will be done with brute force.

:tup
My collapsing is typically done with minimal force. I guess you could say I've had a lot of practice.
-
I should mow my lawn but I might bring lazy.

I'd love to bring the lazy. Got a shit-ton to do today before leaving for business tomorrow morning at 8am :lesigh:. Plus, Evergrey/Borealis concert tonight.

Tough morning to fly after a concert.
Tell me about it. 6:30 car pickup, and heading to San Fran for a conference, and there's an evening reception that goes until who knows when. Gonna be a long one tomorrow.

One of these days we'll have to do an east coast meet, King. There are quite a few of us and it would definitely be an awesome time.

It was fantastic. Saw lots of old friends, some for the first time in years.
-
Cool. I take it that was at your camp anniversary?
-

Yep.
My best friend in the world made it up there. We haven't seen each other face to face in 12 years.

Damn. Do you still keep in regular contact, by internet or phone? I've known my best friend for 17 years, so I couldn't imagine going 12 years without seeing him in person.
-
Not very regular, no. We had kind of drifted apart, and he doesn't do social media (which is how I keep connected with all of my other old friends).
But we will stay more in touch from now on. He also lives closer now than he has most of the last 12 years, so actual visits are more likely now.
-
Think of the children......
Okay, Michael Jackson.

2 tickets in 31 years driving. A $15 parking ticket at a town park and a $45 ticket for driving 49 in a 30. (I was rocking out to Rush and didn't know how fast I was going :lol)
-
That's not too bad.
I have had probably 5 or 6 speeding tickets in my 27 years of driving. I was able to get most of them dropped.
-
Did you punch the cop in the stomach ? :neverusethis:
-
No. I just said "Drop it."
-
:lol
That's why I shake my head when people suggest that it's in their rights to challenge police in that moment. That will never have the outcome you desire.
-
I hope he drives better than he spells.
:omg:

No. I just said "Drop it." "I'll be sexin you later"
Fixed... you sexy beast.

I just ordered my first item on Shapeways (a 3D printing service). It's a 5cm/2" high model of my video game character, in purple plastic. Only cost me $7.82US ($11AUS with our crap exchange rate) because it was a free worldwide shipping offer. I can't wait to see how it turns out, but it will be 3+ weeks before I get it.
-
That pricing seems really good, even before the free international shipping. What is the little guy going to look like?
-
I don't want to show him until I have a finished playable demo, but he's a purple guy with a big round head and feet and no fingers or toes. I'm still looking to slightly change the design. The figure I'm having printed is just him in a standing pose, with a small circular base.
Shipping is usually $15US to Australia for their cheaper option, which is a big hit on such a small item, although it's not an unreasonable price considering they're shipping often fragile objects.
-

Fair enough.

That's not bad, I've seen much worse international shipping prices than that. :lol
-
Oh yeah, it's not a bad price at all, but it makes a big difference when the shipping costs twice as much as the item itself. :lol
It's amazing how cheap they can print the item though. It's a lot cheaper than it was when I was first looking into it, and it will only get cheaper as 3D printing becomes more commonplace.
-
Blob, I just finished the TV show, Falling Skies. It was great. 5 year story arch. You should check it out.
-
I'll check it out at some point, but I've got too many other important things to do first. You know how it is.
-
Life Of Blob.
-
I'd watch that, but then it would become a recursive loop that might destroy the universe.
-
It would be one of those boring reality shows. :lol
-
Morning
-
Dark Matter and Killjoys have both been renewed for a second season! :metal Hurray for scifi!
-
Are those shows actually good? Most of what I know about SyFy is their wretched films. And the commercials I saw for those shows did not inspire me at all.
-
I'd say they're good, not great (at least yet). They're both solid scifi shows with potential to build. I wouldn't say they're must-watch, and they're nothing groundbreaking in the genre, but for a die-hard scifi fan like me, they're worth watching, and it's nice to finally have a few futuristic space shows back on TV.
Would I recommend either of them to you? I'd say no.
-
OK, cool.
I AM looking forward to SyFy's presentaion of Childhood's End, however.
-
I dug the first season of Dark Matter and like I told Blob earlier, Falling Skies just ended on TNT and I loved that series. So well done.
-
OK, cool.
I AM looking forward to SyFy's presentaion of Childhood's End, however.
First I've heard of it. Not a very original concept (at least today), and I don't usually bother with mini-series, but I'll probably check it out.
-

The novel it's based on (by Arthur C. Clarke) is usually considered one of the paragons of science fiction literature. It was written in 1953, so I'm not sure I would call it "not very original." It was, in fact, ahead of its time, so to speak.
-
Shame on you DeLorean owner. You should know that. :lol

That's why I said "at least today". I've seen several shows do it since that now it isn't a very original premise for a new show, even though the novel was written well before all of them. It must be good for so many shows to have copied the idea!

Guys...
I'm finally getting a raise. Not sure how much. I spoke with the owner of the company today (we had a meeting and he plus the regional supervisor were in town)... pulled him aside on his way out and gave him my thing on how I've been here 3 years and have been in "management" for exactly a year (today is my year anniversary as an assistant supervisor ) and asked if there is any chance I could receive a pay bump. Without hesitation he responded with "Definitely! You are one of our top guys! Technically you are the most senior employee here. .. I'll make it happen. Expect an email by Friday!"
Fuck yes!
-
WOOOOOOT!!! :metal
-
Nice! I haven't had a raise since 2008. No that I'm complaining - I make a decent enough living.
-
I haven't had a raise since 2008 either. :blob:

:lol
Morning! How are you doing today?!
Same as usual. Went for a 3 mile walk, but it was 20C/68F, which was too hot. :grumpycat: Stupid Spring.
Then I did nothing.
-
It will be 92F today. I want fall so bad. Friday will be only 70F so that makes me happy. I hate humidity and high heat.
-
Such a crappy combo. And we're just beginning to get to the hotter weather. :(
-
My brother is so funny. He hates how the certain seasons for food and beverages come out early during other seasons. He's boycotting anything with Pumpkin in it because it isn't fall yet. :lol I on the other hand love it and flaunt it at him.
-
I could never object to the added availability of food/drink. I only object to Christmas season deciding to take over more and more of the year every year.
-
This month at this huge Wal Mart warehouse I work in I'll see Christmas trees soon. We live in such a disposable world. My parents had the same Christmas tree for 30 years.
-
You must be well and truly over Christmas by the time it arrives. :lol We've had our current tree for 15-20 years. And I only recall us having one before that.
-
Yet another way that Blob can connect with nature - an indoor tree.
-

As far as I know, all trees are indoors and made of plastic. Christmas tree, Lego tree, Lego Christmas tree, etc.
-
You should see the amount of Christmas tree here when they come Blob. I'll take a picture in a few weeks and blow your mind. This Warehouse ships to 111 stores all over New England so it's mind blowing seeing them.

Man I hate taking days off, I took three off and two of the business phone lines are dead, the pool is green, and 14 rooms need to be cleaned. What does my staff do when I'm gone? I'm pretty sure it's nothing.

Oh Kotowboy!

The guy who cleans the cafe after everyone is gone has a week off so today was my turn !!!
Meh - I left an extra hour later so another £6.50 for me ;D

I had sexy meatballs in my mouth tonight. Delicious spaghetti, with a ton of cheese on top, because cheese makes everything better, even somehow if it was already perfect.
-
100% agree. Cheese makes everything better.
-
And why is cheesy used as a negative adjective? Cheese is god. Must have been coined by some anti-cheese vegan.
-
Screw all who are anti cheese.
And screw lactose intolerant people as well. Cheese is rejecting their body!

Cheese is the Chuck Norris of cuisine.

You know, if this stuff was in the bible, nobody would doubt religion at all. Life lessons right here.

I've been thinking about this recently :
When a band is well known - fans will usually always pay up for their latest release. But if you're not well known ( me for instance ) - people for some reason have no interest in paying for your music.
Even if they love it. It's so bizarre.
-
Kotow, where can I find some of your music? I'd love to give it a listen.

I-Tunes has them.

Oh,
AND VACATION STARTS TODAY!! :metal
-
Well, I have a 3-day weekend.
This afternoon, a cruise-in in a neighboring town (lots of classic cars, live music, great food, alchohol), then a firepit night at a neighbor's house (chill time, wince).
Tomorrow after church, my brother is coming for a visit, which will in some ways involve beer, cigars, grilling some form of dead animal, and various and sundry other vices.
Monday, a drive to the mountains for some scenic shit.
-
I slept in to 6:30. :lol
me too.
Got my cousin's 39th B-day party at noon today, got to make a salad so I've got to roll to the store for some vegetables and stuff.

And yes I like salad............drenched in chicken or bacon with tons of dressing!!!
That's better.
Goin on a road trip today. I won a weekend "rental" of a Lincoln MKC at a fund-raiser last month for $100, so we're gonna do a couple of little road trips today/tomorrow. jingle.son and I were at Fan Expo yesterday... crazy busy as usual (pics tomorrow or Monday), though the event wasn't as good as previous years.
-
Lol. Got to eat healthy once in a while. Don't worry, I've got some killer beers.
Man that new Spock's Beard is a grower. I can't get enough of it now.
-
Slow day in the office, going to watch some ST:TNG and maybe play some Witcher.
-
Hey Reap did you check out my music ?
https://t.co/VDryI1KyRL
:)
-
Hey Kotow, I did check out a few songs on the bandcamp page but I'm going to check out the whole album tomorrow while working.
-
:tup :-*
-
I'm neither a huge football fan nor a huge BYU fan, but the end of their game against Nebraska today is simply epic.
-
One more week of work, then it's over! I still have 13 days of leave left, so that accounts for the rest of September, and after that, it's off to uni.
WE WE WE SO EXCITED

Sunday morning boobs.

The best kind.

Then breakfast. A nap would be the trifecta.

Boob, check.
Breakfast, check.
Just need a nap and this day would rock!

Boob, check.
It doesn't count when it's your own.

Hey Guys. Not a bad day at work. Irish comedian Sean Hughes came in for lunch because he's playing at our theatre this evening. :)
I recognised him but I totally forgot what his name was until someone asked him.
He used to be on " Never Mind The Buzzcocks ".
-
I don't recognize him, but that's a nice little surprise for your day. :)
-
I knew who he was straight away I just forgot his name. I thought it was in the Stuart, Steve ballpark :lol
-
I understand completely. I'm awful with remembering names, no matter how many times I've heard it. I often have to go through the alphabet, and thinking of the letter will help trigger my memory.
-
Boob, check.
It doesn't count when it's your own.
Only when I'm thinking of you hunny.
-
Star Trek marathon is still going! Still in season 1, just got introduced to Lore.
-
Lore.
AKA - Brent Spiner's other voice.
-
Well I got my new schedule. I'm on 18 hours a week now over 6 days.
Three hours a day roughly :tup.
Suits me. I can get a lot of well needed R&R !!!!
Work tomorrow 11 - 2 then Tuesday OFF

It doesn't bother me if you want to waste your time on it. It should piss you off more having to actually watch it. :lol

If you really wanted to piss Blob off - just say it's much better than The Wrath Of Khan and that the script is much better written :neverusethis:

Except then I'd know it was a blatant troll attempt, because nobody could make such a ridiculous claim seriously. :biggrin:

:lol
Can't do that.
Morning. Vacation! Just chilling waiting for the woman to wake up.
-
Morning, king! What's your plan for the day? IT BETTER BE NOTHING!
-
Taking the wife to this farm with a mile if sunflowers. Going for a ride and dinner. Nothing fancy.
-
Morning... day 4 of a long 5-day weekend (though tomorrow, I've got a couple of work things I couldn't get out of).
Some chore work, then chilling before the jingle.kids go back to school.
-
It's amazing the last 10 years,or so that school starts before Labor day. We always started school after Labor day.
-
Morning

Morning Hef!

Going to take the woman to a sea of sunflowers today.

:tup
Epic feast last night with my brother visiting.
Today, a trip to the mountains with my wife.
-
How tall at the mountains in your area Hef!
-
How tall at the mountains in your area Hef!
We are going to Grandfather Mountain. It is 5,946 feet above sea level. Not tall by standards of the Rockies, but it's the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Closer to Asheville, NC is Mount Mitchell (6,684 feet above sea level), the highest point east of the Mississippi.
-
Still right around the height we have in the White Mountains. My buddy posted pics from the Rockies at 10,000 ft. Said you could feel it walking around.
-
Except then I'd know it was a blatant troll attempt, because nobody could make such a ridiculous claim seriously. :biggrin:
I couldn't even say it myself. :neverusethis: Khan is a much better movie in nearly every way.
However I enjoy Into Darkness *way* more than the final two TNG movies.
-
Every now and then, I take a cruise through some P/R threads to remind myself why I never go over there. Didn't take long to accomplish that this afternoon. :lol
Back to my chores.
-
Lol
-
I need 2 more for fantasy football... Look for the dtf-2 thread. Draft is in about 45 min

Guys
So I got a call from the owner of the company today... (Surprised me to hear from him at 930AM on a Holiday..)
He had remembered my raise request...
And called to tell me that it's a go... (which I already knew)
And told me how much. More than I expected (Which still isn't much but for someone making just above CA Minimum Wage... it helps).
And he told me I am finally getting a company email address. THIS excites me.

Americans, amirite? :neverusethis:
I spend so little time in P/R (ie. basically none) that it doesn't even show up in my stats. Arguing musical opinions on DTF is enough to make me want to bang my head against the wall most of the time, let alone religious/political opinions. :lol

To be fair there is the odd thread that is LOL funny (without any humorous intent)
-
True, but the fact it's not supposed to be funny actually makes it worse in many cases there. The few times I do venture into P/R, there are always multiple posts that would make me do a spit take if it weren't so alarming that people actually thought that way (and due to my policy of avoiding P/R, I won't say what opinions cause that reaction :biggrin:).

Gonna watch that one in a bit. I've skipped a lot lately because they seem to talk about boring stuff recently, but fan question ones are usually good.

I prefer seeing the vids where he does a build, or shows off something. His enthusiasm is infectious.

Morning. Heading into Boston today and having lunch at Redbones. Chad's been there. Then getting great beers for tonight's game. GO PATS!!

Back from Orlando! It rained all the time. I took my girlfriend and her sister to see Ed Sheeran. I will say the dude is pretty damn talented, but it was nuts with the crowd. 20:1 women to men, screaming girls all over the place. Huge difference from the DT type crowd I'm used :lol

Glad that the NFL is starting for real tonight.

Yeah. I missed football so much.

How's the dental pain ? All better now ?
I've not been on my bike since August 18th and to be quite honest - I don't miss it at all. My arms and hands still ache like fuck and i've discovered the Nature Reserve pretty much on my doorstep and now I go there every day and have a nice long walk around in the sunshine and go sit in their cafe.
And the last week or so has been amazing weather. Plus the fact that I've got a pedometer add on on my phone and every day I try to reach 10 miles is a good motivator to not sit inside when it's sunny out - and to go out and do a lot of exercise !! :)

Turns out I DID need it, since my wife volunteered us to do two original songs this week, neither one of which I have played in several years. So THAT was fun.
Of course, she was the one who blew the bridge in the first song lol.

I got them on the DVR too, but I'm still trying to get thru seasons 1-3. It's a slow haul. Probably going to take a couple more weeks, so I'll be a couple of episodes behind you guys. Shoulda thought about this a couple months ago!

Still sad it's only 6 episodes.

For my birthday a few days ago my brother got me a Star Trek robe, well today I'm sitting in my office I had a package come in the mail, it's for my gf. I text her and she tells me to open it, it's for me. I open it and it's a star trek apron.

I just went to Photobucket for the first time in ever, and it brings up some box with some sportball thing. I wanted nothing to do with it, and it had no close button, and I couldn't press escape, all I could do was click one of the two options, except I honestly had no fucking clue what either of the buttons did because they were sportsball themed. Fuck off. Just give me a fuck off button. :tdwn
-
Don't you use Adblock/Noscript? I use Photobucket frequently, and wasn't even aware it had any popup bullshit.
-
It wasn't a random ad, it was a Photobucket promotion of some sort.
-
I've still never seen anything of the sort, not even right now. NoScript must be successfully hiding it from me. (https://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o669/bolsters/shrug-1.gif~original)

I've still never seen anything of the sort, not even right now.
No problem with me either. When I go there, I'm just prompted to login.

No idea. First time I've been to Photobucket in a long time, because it's awful, but I already had an image uploaded there that I wanted to link.
-
So Photobucket blows too .

photobucket is shit, use imgur

I use my own web hosting space for my images now, but I have older pictures on Photobucket, so that was easier. I have imgur as well, but I don't use it much.
-
Yeah Photobucket is shit.
I hate that you can only see the pic IN photobucket - it won't let you "Open Pic IN New Window" or anything like that.
-
You can get it to show just the image, but it's a pain in the ass and it's more effort than it should be.

Good morning guys!

My back hurts. I can't continue to live my life in a cubicle.
I'm spending my days lately thinking about business opportunities I can pursue. The one I'm most serious about will require at least a 18,000sqf warehouse with 20' ceilings, 600+sqf of office space, and preferably two loading docks. According to my math, I'd need at least $400k in equipment. I've started putting together my business plan. I've got a few people in mind that I'm going to approach about potential investment opportunities.

The only thing really preventing me from going balls out on a business adventure is the fact that I bought a house last October. That complicates everything. Then again, the fact that I have that as an asset might make a bank more likely to loan me money they otherwise wouldn't have.
-
Good morning Hef! How is it going?
OK, other than the fact that my daughter has pneumonia.
However, now that it has been correctly diagnosed and she has the correct medicine in her, she is feeling better than she has in almost a week, so that is good.

Nice. How much of the cost of a toaster does an album sale cover?
I'll be getting paid for my August Youtube earnings in about a week, which will be well timed for Oz Comic-Con. I may or may not go nuts with celebrity photos. :lol

Well someone paid me £6.30 for an album and the toaster was £8.

Im curious as to what your idea is since you seem to be very thoughtful, but since you didnt mention it I am assuming its something you'd rather not talk about. Pitch it on shark tank.

Well, I'm going to a friend's campsite to drink and play cards Saturday night. Man time.

This weekend will be spent cleaning and straightening MORE of the house and the yard, since a bunch of my family will be coming up next week for the birthday bash. My hope is to smoke about 15 pounds of pork next Friday AND Saturday. (i.e. 15 pounds each day). There will also be beef brisket to smoke Saturday as well. I have to try to keep from drinking too much next Thursday, because I need to kinda have my wits about me on Friday. Gonna be a good weekend.

My wife is the best in the world, and bought us tickets to this weekend's Panthers home opener for my birthday.
:metal
Tailgating I hope Hef.
And a big cigar to chomp on.
Hope you have a good time Hef! Man I haven't tailgated in years, I should go to a Bucs game sometime soon.

@Blob
Have you noticed on Tested or Still Untitled - whenever Adam brings up what would be a completely random topic out of the blue - Will suddenly knows everything there is to know about
that one random thing and the best ways to use it etc :lol
Every time.
Adam : I just bought a fork which has a 6 prongs arranged in a cube instead of in a line like most forks.
Will : Oh I love those - I find the best way to use them is...and they're best for...
:rollin

He probably absorbs latent knowledge from hanging around Adam.
They'll have to find a new bearded hipster to replace him now that he's leaving.
-
If Norm left it would literally be no different :lol
He says like 5 words per episode.
-
Norm doesn't say much in the podcasts, but he's great on the interviews and their other videos, and is fairly knowledgeable about nerdy stuff.
-
Norm seems like the type of guy who - whenever he starts talking - I expect Adam or Will to interrupt and change the subject every time :lol

Are you guys talking about the adam savage podcast?

My bike has been off the road for a month now and I don't miss it in the slightest :dunno:
It's been really nice weather as of late and i've preferred walking around the Nature Reserve by my house after work in the sunshine racking up the miles.
I'd rather walk 10 miles a day and get some exercise in the sunshine and in a nice environment than spend money on petrol driving somewhere and seeing nothing... :dunno:
-
:| Well..
Odd news today. I go to work often after hours when there's a gig on or open mic - to voluntarily help get the cafe ready for the next day. Wrap cutlery - top up condiments etc.
Lately a friend of the Manager has been popping in to hang out and to listen to the bands and chat with the Manager.
Today I was in work and the Manager was on the phone and I heard him say that he'd taken his own life :(
I've never known anyone who'd done that before and it's a bizarre thing knowing you'll never ever see them again....
-
My bike has been off the road for a month now and I don't miss it in the slightest :dunno:
This makes me sad :(
I'm sorry to hear about your managers loss. Luckily I've never had anyone close to me take their own life.
-
Morning chaps.
-
Morning King, how is it going?
-
Work stinks. I've lost a 3rd of my workforce. Wal Mart is so busy. I've never seen them this busy. I've got a guy going on vacation and my boss is stealing my second best guy to help at another site. Fun times.
Oh and I'm having a terrible time getting new hires and temp employees are the worst.
-
Why did you lose a 3rd of your workforce? I'm in the slow period at the hotel, we can go almost a whole day without a phonecall and it's fantastic.
-
2 retired. 2 went for more money. 1 broke up with his girlfriend couldn't afford his apartment alone and moved back with his parents, 1 1/2 hours away from here. 1 I had to fire and another was tired of trying to be straight and narrow and wanted to go back to jail because it was easier than living in the real world. Crazy huh?!
-
Wow, 7 people gone. . . .
-
Yup. 22 employees 7 gone and it's the busiest it's ever been. Even this big Wal Mart DC which we work in that pays $4 more an hour than we do is struggling hiring as well.
-
That sucks, king.
Morning, sluts.
-
I've got a job fair we signed up for on Oct. and I've got adds on Indeed and Craigslist but not many bites right now.
-
Good morning Hef.
I'm both lucky and cursed that my staff is so small, less people to manage but if one calls out I always have to step in.
-
I've got a job fair we signed up for on Oct. and I've got adds on Indeed and Craigslist but not many bites right now.
Out of curiosity what's the job description?

Ugh. I love walking around in the sunshine more. My bike has no top box so If I want to go to the beach - I basically have to carry around a massively padded jacket and helmet / gloves with me.
Walking around the Nature Reserve - I can go in shorts and T shirt and not have to worry about my bike or my bike outfit ::)
Couldn't care less if I never get back on the bike to be quite honest. I needed it before I moved but now I don't. Plus my arms still ache like a bitch when I ride.
-

Out of curiosity what's the job description?
We are a contracted company working in the Wal Mart Distribution Center in NH. They service 111 Wal Mart stores and we process all the used pallets by quality and ship them out as well as commingled product as well. we sort through on average 260,000 pallets a month.
-
Holy shit, that's a lot of pallets.
-
Crazy isn't it?! :lol
-
So we were hit with a big tsunami advisory last night into this morning.
It was enough that Harbor Patrol told my guys at work to lock up and leave for "higher ground" (aka a shopping center next to us, which is a bit higher than our office, which is like 4 ft higher than the tide at high tide) between 4am and 6am.'
I woke up this morning (day off) to find that during that time, all hell broke lose. someone went on a rampage and broke into several vehicles.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fml

Two down.

Some of the fuckin noobs around here... my word. :lolpalm:

What's happening King?
-
*gets out of king's way*
-
2 temps no showed last night. My guys did not check in to see if they were in their work station for 4 hours. Then the temp agency had no answers and could not get anybody to come in. I want to hurt people today.
-
That is shitty. I've never worked with a temp agency before but wouldn't they be held accountable for their temps not showing up?
-
Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
-

You'd think so but who the hell knows. I just tell them to "do not return".

Well I'm going to my buddy's campground with my brother Saturday so cards will be played. I guess I better get busy with the wife tonight then.
-
There you go. Giddy up.
-
Just did a round of yard work. The humidity is finally starting to ease up. Now I have to clean up the trimmings.

Morning. Dealing with a few work items then getting some foodd for grilling tonight at the campground. Looking to win some money playing cards tonight. I will own them!
-
Yes!
Got some normal weekend chores today, and have to get an oil change, and then this afternoon down to Charlotte to get ready for tomorrow's Panthers game.
-
Ah! Staying at a hotel. Cool! 2 temps, one no show and another were sending home. We think he's on something. Like I've said before, I hate temps.
Nothing like working on your day off.
-
Good morning guys! Another day of work, meeting with my old college buddies tonight for some boozing.
-
Man time! Same here. I've got to pace myself. :lol
-
I'm pretty worried, every time I say I'm going to take it easy around my buddies but the night always ends up going until 7am
-

I think I'm too old for it as well because the following three days I'm completely broken and regret going out in the first place.

So in other news my girlfriend and I laid out our plan and I'm finally moving away from Florida towards the end of february. I'd be willing to move as soon as the holidays are over but my gf wants to stay longer because her sister is expecting her child around the holidays.
-
Coming to NC?
-
Yo. Slept in a bit after the Scrops/Queensryche show. It was good, but I left a little up satisfied. Chores, and test driving today. Gonna try to fit a workout in somewhere as well.
-
Coming to NC?
Yup!!! :) finally, after going through a lot of back and forth on whether or not to buy the hotel we finally backed out last minute. I can't spend any more time here and I can't keep doing what I'm doing. I need to try something different in a new town.
-
So yesterday at work I got to deal with a guy hanging out in an out of the way stairwell. He had a nice long thick stem from a plant and spent an hour, on camera, attempting to stick it up his ass.
He succeeded.

Morning, jingle. What's happening?

Chores, then heading down to Buffalo about a 2 hr drive) for Symphony-X tonight. Weather looks great (despite it being about 13' at the moment. Should warm up to about 21.
You?
-
Cool. Enjoy the gig. We'll be getting tickets tomorrow for Sabbath, which will be early next year some time. Didn't think I'd get another chance after missing out last tour.
-
Morning gents. Just got home. Kept the debauchery in check.
Time for some football!
-
:lol Customers always. And I mean *always* pile in the 5 - 10 minutes before we close as we're turning off all the stoves and grills.
And yes they do always - and yes I do mean ALWAYS - want cooked meals.
::) RIGHT. Turn everything back on.
Always in the last 5 minutes.
:mehlin Bastards.
-
What time do you close? These people need to get organized! :getoffmylawn:
-
2pm on a Sunday.
between 2:30 and 4:30 during the week depending on staff and how busy it is.
-
2pm? You close after breakfast? :neverusethis:
As you can tell, I have no real insight into the lives of legitimate people. :lol
-
We serve breakfast all day for people Just Like You ! :neverusethis:
Another funny thing is - when a family with very young kids come in - like the ages of 5 maximum.
They get kids meals for them and I guarantee they will have one mouthful and then leave it. :lol
Then the kids start whinging and they have to leave and don't get to finish their adult meals. :lol
" Hey hon - I feel like we haven't wasted any money in a while - let's take the young ones to a restaurant and throw money in the bin "

You know, as much as Lars Ulrich gets crapped on a good amount, these days, sometimes for good reason, sometimes unreasonable. I think I can understand how he is feeling when he yells f*** like in this video.
https://youtu.be/QDCLdNt_oK0
I think there are days I feel like that as well, but I just do not know how to deal with that. Does anyone knows how to deal with this scenario when you feel like that?
-
I'm a bit British about it. I just bottle it up. Have a bit of a fume for a few minutes then go for a walk and that usually helps.
-
Just finished filling out my application forms for a scholarship which would grant me 300€ a month once I begin uni.
Wish me luck!
-
Good luck. Is that the thing in Germany called BAföG?
-
Nah. BaFöG is based on the income of your parents and goes to those lesser off.
What I'm applying for is a scholarship of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes. Very prestigious, you can only even apply if you are suggested by somebody with the power to suggest people, and they give out scholarships based on accomplishments alone.
EDIT: By the way, how's your study in Göttingen going?

Oh, that's very good. Good luck with that! How were you able to apply then? Good scores for your Abitur?
Study in Göttingen is going pretty well, I have my final exam for the summer school thing in a little over a week. If I pass that I'll already have completed the first maths subject before the semester has even started. That would be nice!
-
Good morning gang!
-
Morning folks.
I worked an afternoon shift yesterday, and am going in for a morning shift right now. Yesterday was busy as fuck and I spent a lot of time dealing with shit that is usually dealt with on Mondays. But today is Monday. My internal clock is all fucked up.

Morning.

Man I hate getting old, I still feel off from that booze fiesta I had on Saturday. Need to go shopping for an office chair today.

Glad I don't drink. :biggrin: Unless you count the delicious cream soda I had tonight. :blob:
Been looking at chairs myself to replace my currently dying computer chair as soon as I have money come in. I've been looking at drafting chairs for height to go with the standing desk I'm looking to get. Hoping I can leave the desk at standing height and just have a higher chair.

Morning.
Wow, am I sunburnt.

I don't need anything fancy, I'd prefer to get something cheap and kind of small because my office is small. I don't spend a lot of time in my office at home.

Usually I just go into our office supply store, try out some cheaper chairs and pick one out, which has worked just fine in the past.
Because I spend so much time at my computer and am not particularly fit or active, I thought I'd try to put together a better setup this time. The chairs I'm looking at are around $200-$250, which is double what I normally pay for a chair, but they're certified for 8+ hour use, so they should be better on my back for long periods. I'm also looking at some other furniture to get my room setup more usable.

It's almost October and the weather is still great :o
No complaints from me. Keep it going til March for all I care.
Winter is coming and it's about to get real depressing for several months. :(

I partly agree. The weather here in Germany sure is nice for this time of year. Not too much rain, about 15 degrees Celsius and when the sun comes out it's actually pretty nice. Regarding winter: I do think it's depressing when it's so grey all the time, but a bit of snow looks really nice, especially when the sun comes out.
-

I would really enjoy some cold weather here. In Florida we have two seasons, summer and February.
-
It's better having a job in Winter as you can be busy doing that and the days fly by.
It has been a really LONG summer though. I moved back to Wales April the 3rd and it's pretty much been warm and sunny the entire time - with the odd few days of rain here and there obviously.
I always say the best thing about Summer ending is that you have *next* spring and summer to look forward to :biggrin:
-
I think early Autumn and mid-Winter can be pretty beautiful. The only part of those seasons I very much dislike are the parts when there's only rain and everything's grey. I can stand and even like a bit of rain now and then, it's just when it rains continuously for days on end with all the leafless trees and vegetation that I start to feel down.

I went to a football game yesterday, and this was played on a huge screen during one of the breaks.
It's the frustrating thing. The guy singing actually got me into wanting pizza, atm, yet when they announced the store's name and phone number, it was such a huge downer compared to the enthusiasm the singer brought.
-
:angry: FFS !!! Now *I* Want pizza !
-
Since I'm on a diet yesterday I let myself have a little cheat meal, ordered some pizza and it was so terrible. I was so disappointed.

Happy Earth, Wind, and Fire day!

Good morning guys!

Morning, Reaper.
-
How is it going blob?
-
Went to the park with my brother and niece and sprained my ankle bad. Bad things happen outdoors. I should have known better. :(
It better be fine for Saturday, because that's Oz Comic-Con dangit.
-
How did you sprain you ankle? Reminds me of how I fucked up my right ankle :(
-
The part of the park with the equipment is elevated from the grass around it, and I stepped on the edge badly and twisted my ankle.
-
damn, did it swell up.
A year ago or so I was walking down the stairs to go to dinner, somehow while daydreaming I thought I was closer to the bottom of the stairs than I really was, turned out I missed three steps and landed on my ankle. Hurt bad, swelled up. Exactly one week later on the same flight of stairs I do the exact same thing, this time it's way more serious and I can feel things tearing in there, since then my ankle has never been the same.
-
Damn. Hurting it the first time probably worked towards the second time too.
One time at school I tried to jump up I think 7 steps and smacked my foot into the top step and twisted it really bad. I had a couple of days off school, plus the weekend for it to recover. Actually, I think it was the same ankle, so maybe that didn't help either.
-
Damn you Blob. You icing and elevating it?
-
Blob, please stay indoors.
This Saturday's birthday bash is rolling up quickly. Looks like I'm now going to be smoking pork on Friday, then smoking more pork and brisket on Saturday. Gonna be a tiring few days. And I still have plenty more yardwork to do this week to prepare for Saturday's festivities. The liquor table is set up, I've juiced limes and made jalapeno syrup for margaritas, all the pork rub is made up and ready, we put together a makeshift "stage" to set up some drums, guitars, and bass, so people can jam if they like, the pool heater will be on probably most of the day, we've premade a boatload of homemade BBQ (aka sloppy joe), buffalo chicken dip, and triple threat macaroni. Off to pick up a keg probably Friday, and I think we'll be close to ready for this. Also, there's still taco dip to make. It's like we're preparing for a bazillion people. But I'd rather have too much than not enough. Looking forward to it!
-
What time should I be there?
-
Damn you Blob. You icing and elevating it?
Nope, just been resting all day. I figure my usual lifestyle was perfectly suitable for it. :lol
The damn thing didn't even have the common courtesy to swell up or looking any different, so hopefully it's not too bad.
Blob, please stay indoors.
That might be tough for me.
lol
-
:lol
Well do what you do then!
Blob, please stay indoors.

Ankle Stories!
A couple years ago, my buddy was playing a gig at a tattoo parlor in Hollywood. He was picking me up on his way out, and was running late. When he got to my place, he called me and I came running out. I ran across the street and twisted my ankle going up the curb. I then proceeded to dick around walking around Hollywood till 4am, and then bowled on it 2 days later. I had fucked it up pretty bad.
Even now, like 6 years later, it sometimes hurts. I woke up to it sore. Gonna wear a brace all day at work.
ICE IT AND STAY OFF OF IT BLOB YOU DONT WANNA PULL A JAY

Agreed Jay, I know what people mean when they say their bones ache, my ankle aches when it gets cold.

I'm staying off my bike til at least next spring because I get terrible stabbing pains in my arm and shoulder from holding the handlebars form where I hit the tarmac.

I did. Nothing is broken. And the doc said shoulders in particular take a long time to heal up. So...
But the aching in my hands has definitely gotten better.

Aw, that sucks. :(
Things move so fast, a lot of those 25,000 people probably just skimmed past it without paying much attention. It's sad, but it doesn't surprise me these days. Of the 100 that clicked, I'm surprised none of them even listened though. Why check it out if you're not going to at least listen?
If you enjoy making the music though, don't let things like this dissuade you.

What do you think?

helluva view.

Yea that's a gorgeous view, my view used to be of tropicana field but now it's of an alley way.

My 3D printed character arrived today. I like how it turned out. :D
-
pic!
I've been thinking of a business plan that I came up with and I'm thinking of how I can implement it.
-
pic!
As I said, I don't want to share pics of my character yet, but the detail is really nice.
-
Nice! :tup, how long did it take for you to get it 3d printed?
-
It was ordered on the 1st of September, and shipped on the 13th of September, and arrived today. You can pay more to get it made and shipped quicker, but this was just a regular order with free shipping, so it didn't matter to me.
-
What's it made out of Blob?
-
What's it made out of Blob?
Purple plastic. The plastics are cheap, and the purple was close to the character's colour.
-
So I'll assume you will work on the details (painting ect...) Sounds fun!

I won't try to paint it, as the details are so small. I like the look of it as is anyway, sort of like a statue. They can also print it in full colour sandstone, and full colour plastic. The details were too small for the sandstone, and the full colour plastic is still in beta and I didn't realize it would let me do it, otherwise I would have liked to see how that turned out. Maybe next time!
-
I used to work with clay. I made my mom a salt and pepper shakers that were little faces. You held them by their noses. :lol It was fun to make and paint. The family had a good chuckle when I put them on the table.

Hello

Well hello there.

So someone in one of the M3 Rock Festival groups on FB posted about this band Heaven's Basement, so I thought I'd check them out. Not too bad. Check it:

How goes it?
Too busy Hef. Wal Mart is running like it's Christmas time and we can't keep up. I'm up staffing on every shift but can't keep up. we have a limit of 40 trailers to sort through. If it's over that, I have to send in a report on how I will work the counts down. We are at 58 right now and today is the heavy drop day. Not good at all.

I've been catching up on my podcasts. Just slammed a Publix sub, so good.

Good morning guys, woke up this morning with the whole front lawn flooded because the sprinklers didn't shut off last night.

Richard Dean Fucking Anderson. And David Hewlett (from Stargate Atlantis). I would have also liked a photo with Rachel Nichols from Continuum but the times aren't good.
-
Dude! Dude!! You have to get her autograph. Bring the picture of her as the green skinned roommate of Uhura in the 2009 Star Trek Movie to sign!
-
hows your ankle?
-

But then she'd think I only know her from an empty exploitative role in a run of the mill Hollywood explosion fest, instead of her role from real scifi in Continuum where she plays a developed character. Fuck that.
hows your ankle?
I've been walking on it mostly fine today although I still have the odd bit of pain. Hopefully it will be all good for walking around tomorrow.
-
Yeah, that's what she thinks about it. :lol
I'm thinking of the sexy pic for you in your dark cave.

Our 2002 Honda Odyssey is long in the tooth, and we're gonna be replacing it with an SUV. We're looking at a Buick Enclave, Infiniti QX60, and Audi Q7. Leaning towards the Infiniti at the moment.
-
You test drive any yet?
-
Yeah - the Enclave and QX60. Heading out in a few mins to spin the Q7
-
So the Blue Angels have been rehearsing behind my house all day for the past 3 days. Pretty fucking epic to watch.
-
Sore neck I bet.
-
Luckily they aren't flying directly over me. I can sit at my bedroom window and watch the entire routine.
-
Very cool.
I've got to move wood to the basement tomorrow to make more room to cut more wood. I've got wood.

Heck yeah! I can't wait to see this! Although it will have to wait till after Continuum and the new episode of Star Trek Continues. I love scifi Saturday, and this shall fit right in! :biggrin:
-
It came out great considering there was basically £0 budget. I think he had like £2,500 to do literally everything.
-
That's nothing really. I'll let you know what I think of it.
BECAUSE MY OPINION IS ALL THAT MATTERS
-
I wonder is he signs with a paperclip.
Morning.

Sounds like you had a blast!

Had a pretty good day. Spent most of it standing in lines, so I didn't get as much time looking around the floor.
And I just watched the latest Continuum. :hat
-
Tonight we will watch it.

No, you'll be watching last week's episode. :biggrin: Great episode that one. So was this week's one. Can't wait to see how it finishes.

Stacking cut wood in the basement in preparation of borrowing my neighbor's wood splitter and cutting more wood for the winter.
-
King I think I asked you this in the past but whereabouts do you live?
-
I live 20 minutes east of Manchester, N.H. I'm 35 minutes from the coastline.
-
Tonight we will watch it.
I'm now 1/2 thru season 2 - right at the episode where Kiera reveals her truth, and the first appearance of Esher. Man it's so good to re-watch this. Probably another 2 weeks before I can get to the final episodes - which is just fine, since I'll then be able to just power thru all of them.
-
Just finished with a bunch of painting and yard work. Time for a beer.
-
Morning, everyone.
-
Morning, hef. What's up?
-
Not much, man. Just getting ready for church.
-
Morning
-
*nods to king*
-
King is sore from stacking all that cut wood. Hammies, had a workout.
-
Fireplace? Wood stove?
-
Morning troops.
Bought a SUV yesterday - went with the QX60. Should be picking it up Friday. Adios to a 14 year old mini-van.
Chores, more Continuum, and football today. Perfect Sunday... ironically, All On A Sunday just started playing as I typed that. :D
-
Wood stove down in the basement. I've got a cord plus to cut and stack now. I took the last of the other cords and stacked it in the basement
-
We are watching Continuum in a few then breakfast, and traveling for a football party and the game of course.

ATTENTION BLOB AND OTHERS !!!
Did you watch EXIT PLAN ?
Thoughts ?
:)

I forgot to watch it yesterday. I'll definitely do so today. :tup

Good evening folks.
Nervous for tomorrow I am. My regional supervisor (or Operations Manager, as he had been titled near the end) is leaving us. I am meeting his replacement tomorrow morning. This is a good thing though for several reasons. One being the guy who is leaving us has found the beginnings of a great career, and from what I have pieced together, with the new guy coming in, my account and the ones in my county (not a lot but hopefully growing) will become more autonomous.
-
Hey Jay. Hopefully the new dude isn't a jerkface. :tup
-
I hope not. I also hope he doesn't get overwhelmed. I think letting us do our thing will make his life easier.
-
I guess you'll find out soon enough.
-
Morning guys! Girlfriend is starting her new job this week so she'll be out of town from Monday to Friday which means house to myself, now I need to figure out what to do.
-
Morning.
My wife will be leaving for a "girls beach getaway" Thursday evening, so four-day weekend for me! I predict lots of loud music, football, and beer!
-
Morning guys.
-
Morning, Blob.
-
Hey hef. What's up?
-
Not much. Just work.
-
Same here, except replace work with nothing. :blob:
-
My work life is hell right now.
-
Morning hef and blob, I should be working but right now I'm enjoying a bagel.
-
Back at work after a few days at home with a cold/flu.
-
My work life is hell right now.
More deadbeats, or just a lot of work? Although I'm sure the two are related.
I'm trying to figure out the correct height of the door to the holodeck on the Enterprise D. That's my work for the day.
-
Both and yes it's related plus Wal Mart is the busiest I've ever seen.
-
And it doesn't get any better for the rest of the year, I'd imagine.
-
Not until mid January.
-
Good morning. I'm a lazy son of a bitch... And I've found a bus I can catch from much closer to my house that'll get me to the transfer station that usually bike to. Too bad I can only catch it on Mondays and Fridays.
Good news is hopefully in January I'll be buying a car off a friend. She has a 95(?) Civic in great shape she's gonna be getting rid of. And... She's asking close to nothing. And she'll take payments. Sweet.
Car means I can work more Overtime without getting burnt out. More OT means more money. More money means less stress. Less stress means life is good.

I love 3 hour shifts at work.
a. 11:30 am - start work
b. 11:30 - Noon - piece of piss. 30 minutes is really nothing.
c. Noon - 14:00 - Doddle. No matter how busy - two hours goes by in a flash.
d. 14:00 - 14:30 - See b.

I watched it earlier. For the budget (or lack thereof), it was very well put together. It did a good job of feeling like another setting, which is hard to do with so little. The CG and compositing was all great, some of the audio could have done with ADR or a better mic and some foley to take away from the home-made feel.
The story felt a little rushed and without a message, but I think that's largely because it was a lot to tell in only 20 minutes. Your bro definitely has skills though, and I hope he plans to make more short films.

I think he does want to do more films as they are more rewarding than doing music videos. Especially with all the bullshit that he has to go through trying to get payment out of labels.

I wish I had the means to do that kind of thing. It's definitely more fun having full creative control for an idea you came up with yourself.
I did notice several credits for Oakes, so I figured there was other family involved too. What's the point of family if you can't use them for cheap help? :metal

Plus we thought it's just such an awesome surname - let's put it on screen as many times as we can. :metal

:lol
That'll put asses in seats!

Yes Blob - you got upset about my Blobby Xmas tree :'(

:lol It's the thought that counts.
-
Good evening guys. Took the bike out for a spin tonight, glad I'm putting some miles on it, I forgot how much I like riding.
-
Hey.
Nothing like catching up on DTF to put me in a great mood for the day.
I hate everyone and everything for every reason.
-
I hear ya
-
:lol What a shock! We could be the new Statler and Waldorf.
-
The cast of Star Trek Beyond recently had a press conference for STB in Dubai. Maybe the promotional trail has begun and we'll gradually start getting more info and a teaser soon !
It's about 9 months til the film is out so things should start building up soon.
I remember seeing the very first trailer for Into Darkness !
Do yuo remember the teaser for Star Trek 2009 ? With just the saucer section of E with people welding on it ?
-
Yeah, I remember it. I also remember everyone bitching about the ship being built within the planet's atmosphere instead of in orbit. :lol
I think 9 months is probably too soon to hear much yet, isn't it? How far out do they usually show a first teaser?
-
Yeah, I remember it. I also remember everyone bitching about the ship being built within the planet's atmosphere instead of in orbit. :lol
I think 9 months is probably too soon to hear much yet, isn't it? How far out do they usually show a first teaser?
It was around this time for ST09 and the first teaser was December for STID but those films were both out in May.
But if they're doing a press conference - that must mean they're done with principal photography at least ?
Or maybe they're just taking a break to go " hey - we're making great progress - bye ! "
I hope some details of that conference come out soon.
-
I think it's been a while since they started filming, so they're probably done. Given all of the CG required for that kind of movie, I don't know how much they'll have that's ready to show yet. I don't know, maybe. I'm more excited for the new Star Wars than the new Star Trek, and I'm not even that into Star Wars (which is ironic given that the new SW is done by JJ :lol )
-
Yeah i'm gonna go see The Force Awakens just because it's a sci fi film and it's by JJ and i'm not even a SW fan.
Principal photography on the film actually began on June 25, 2015 in Vancouver
So Beyond started filming three months ago. But nobody has said that they've wrapped so either they're still filming or doing pickups or whatever or they just haven't said anything.
-
I don't even think of Star Wars as real scifi. To me it's just fantasy with spaceships. :blob:

Good morning.
Weekend will be different than anticipated. A hurricane ended my wife's beach getaway hopes, so she will be home.
At least I succeeded in getting the youngest to a sleepover this evening.
-
I didn't even realize there was a hurricane until yesterday and that fucker is pretty big. Sorry to hear about the change of plans hef!
-
I can honestly say I have given J.J. Abrams many, many chances to try and demonstrate why everyone loves him so much, and ended up concluding that whatever the reason is, I don't get it, nor can I.
That said, I am sure the new Star Wars will be on par with every other action movie that has come out in the last ten years from Abrams, Michael Bay and whoever else has been making these things. So I will go see it and enjoy it, I just don't expect anything from it other than mindless entertainment littered with carefully selected references to Star Wars lore, guaranteed to make everyone laugh and say "Ha, that was clever."
-
Abrams work just doesn't really stick out in my head. His movies are entertaining but not really in a memorable sense.
-
Not a fan. I saw the first part of Super 8 and that was super hacky. And don't get me started on Nu-Trek. :lol
-
So the brakes on my bike (not motorized... Lol) went out. As I was shooting down a busy street in the wee hours. Got going pretty fast. Just below 20mph. Came up to a light. It turns red. I hit brakes. My brakes tell me to fuck off. I go through the intersection. I didn't diedie.
Yes. I did see the red light. Yes, roooooooooooooar.
So I said fuck it and hopped a bus. Just the scare I need before meeting my new accounts manager (finally. He didn't come by last Monday).
-
Well, fuck. Winamp finally screwed the pooch on me.
Guess I need to change media players. I am not all that fond of WMP or Itunes, and I prefer something that works with last.fm, so I guess that leaves me with foobar2000. Anybody have experience with that?
-
I switched from Winamp to foobar year ago and love it. It can be set up however you want, if you put a bit of time into it. Tabbed playlists ftw.
-
I'm still with Winamp and happy. A couple of things have stopped working but they weren't important features (such as the Most Played tab always being blank), but no reason to ditch it yet.
-
I still liked Winamp, I just started getting annoyed having one big playlist for everything, and the newer skin system for the more featured version (v3 onwards) was painfully sluggish. It was great for obscure plugins though.

It's very customizable with a lot of plugins, so there are plenty of good things to say. The main feature I had to still have to switch from Winamp was global shortcut keys, so I could control the music without having to switch programs. It also plays all of the different music formats I have (MP3, FLAC, APE, OGG, MPC, WAV, AIFF), which was vital.

No no, I was using a new version at the time (5 something), I just stuck with the old style skins. :blob:
-
No no, I was using a new version at the time, I just stuck with the old style skins. :blob:
Ah, that makes more sense. :lol The newer skins feature a better Media Library setup though, which I don't think works with the older skins, so you were missing out by not using one of those. Infact the way the library is displayed in Winamp is the reason I'm reluctant to move away from it.

Yeah, as I said, I didn't like the new style interface that allowed more features. It was sluggish for the basics, so it didn't matter to me what else it also had.
-

It's never been sluggish for me, I wouldn't use it myself if it were. I hate any software that gets bogged down by its GUI. I'll never understand how people can tolerate WMP for that very reason.

WMP is on a whole other level of sluggish. :lol And it gets worse with every single version!
I'm just very picky (shocker). It had a slight lag for updating the GUI which especially bugged me when skipping around a song.
-
Actually I just realised I don't use the default modern theme anyway, I use the Bento theme. Maybe that's why I'm not noticing any sluggishness. The only time I get lag in the UI is if I use a visualisation (which I never do and don't care about) or if I use it while it's updating the library, so I just have the automatic directory scanning turned off to avoid any pointless updates every time I open it.

It wasn't the skin, it was the XML skinning system that the v3+ skins used. Maybe they fixed it since, or maybe you're just not completely anal and pedantic like I am. :lol

I probably am, or am at least close. :lol I'm not experiencing lag like you when I skip/stop/etc though, it's instantaneous for me. But like you, if there were any noticeable delays in simple functions like that I wouldn't be able to tolerate using it. I didn't use 3.x at all or 5.x for years at first because they were really slow, but I've been using 5.x now for about 5-6 years and it's been fine.
-
The audio was instantaneous, I mostly remember the time bar took a bit of a delay when I skipped around (probably 1/10 of a second).

Hello there.
-
Hello there.
Morning, king.
Sure would be nice not to have it rain all day again.
-
We had 2 days of downpours. It's in the 50'same for at least 4 days. Fall has arrived.
-
Hello all. Last night, I survived the great power outage of my neighborhood of 2015. That is all.
-
I hate power outages. I'm on a different grid than the neighbor behind me and when we are out theyour always have power. It drives me mad!
-
w00t ! c:
I was rummaging through my CDs and I found an old CD-RW. Now I can burn new mixes to it and listen to it on my walk without using a new disc every time !
*My mastering software won't let me export a song or album if the audio is clipped - but I don't brickwall my music in the slightest so it *sounds* absolutely fine...
...I just like to get it loud enough so that It's comfortable when i'm out walking with my headphones and I can turn it DOWN if need be.
For some reason my mastering software will let me burn a CD of my mixes if it says it's clipping - but won't let me export the audio... SO a CDRW is a must have.

Good evening peoples.

Yo.

Slow day 'round here for a Sunday.
Back to the work week.
-
Morning, peoples.
-
Really quiet today. We're not a franchise so we need customers in order to pay the staff. So I volunteered to go home for an hour and come back at the end of the day to help clear up.
:tup. Was timetabled to do 3 hours. Ended up doing 2. I'm sure i'll make up the hour this week anyways so it was nice to get an hours break even though I did a grand total of 2 hours work ! :D

wooo nice! I was going to go for a cruise today but it's raining pretty bad, tomorrow will probably be a better day for it.
-
Yeah my instructor basically said " If you've ever been off the road for a while - the day you are able to ride again it rains. "
He says it's the same if you've just bought a new bike - having bought lots of bikes down the years he says it happens every time without fail. :lol
And i've been off the road now for pretty much exactly 7 weeks so i'm going to take it easy on my first ride out.
-
Hey Blob !! :angry:
Still untitled is a The Martian movie Spoilercast. I'm looking forward to it having seen the movie.
I just listened to their 45 minute novel of The Martian spoilercast and it sounds like the movie was very faithful.

Riding in the rain is one of the best ways to build your riding skills. It's unpleasant but it really makes you focus and be deliberate with your movements.
-
My entire first week or two were in the wet. I hated it but it was good training.

I always skip the spoilercasts. Not because of spoilers, but if I don't care enough to see the movie, then I don't want to watch dudes talk about it either. :lol I still have to catch up on the two Q&A videos too!
-
How's this weather Blob ? We have bushfire smoke in the air , a red sun , evacuations happening and not far off 40 degrees Celsius (>100 F) in the first half of spring :-\
-
No fires near me that I'm aware of, but it's 38C today and very dry. Supposed to be better with some rain for the rest of the week though. Hope you're fine where you are.
-
I don't expect any issues but having that smell in the air and that eerie orange sunlight at this time of year is rather spooky. The closest major fires to us are over 50km away but with 100km/h winds around you still need to keep your wits about you.
-
Yeah, the wind is always trouble for fires. And the smoke will leave you on edge and feeling like crap even if the fires aren't that close. There are often fires in the mountains, and we're at the base of the mountains, so we often get the smoke.
-
Good morning

:metal
Just been out for a cruise for the first time in exactly 7 weeks. Obviously felt a bit wobbly at first. Had to adjust a few things and put air in the tyres and petrol in the tank but
she's running great now :coolio

Flatliners remake ?
I can see the critics writing their put downs now....
" There's no coming back for this franchise "
" This movie has no heart...beat "
" This movie flatlined "
" This is like a Bacon Sandwich with out any Bacon. "
" You can't bring this reboot back from the dead ".

Afternoon guys!
Steak sitting on the counter warming up before I cook it. Can't wait, I love steak.
-
I had cheese on toast for tea :lol
Couldn't be arsed cooking anything.

I think I'm going to go on a motorcycle ride afterwards, might take the gopro with me, I'll post some photos if I do.

Sweet. I had a nice ride earlier. Was a bit wobbly at first but I soon got the hang of it again. Remembered how fun it is when your shoulder isn't constant stabbing pains. :tup
No pain at all this ride :)

Just listened to it and I like it a lot. I really like the clean solo in the latter half of the song.

Forgot to mention that Destiny Unknown is a killer song.

Cheeeers ! :tup :-* :-*
I really like The Bad Jam. The demo version is the best version that exists. I could never make it sound any better than that...

Job Fair time. How to get a few resumes today.

Good morning guys! How is it going?

Morning.

Hey hey

How is it going gang?

I feel like crap.
Mostly exhaustion. I'm too old to stay up as late as I did last night.

I'm run down today. 3 12 hour days and the stress can wipe you out and I am wiped.

Our local cinema is showing BTTF1 on 21st Oct. What about the rest dammit? That makes absolutely no sense. :getoffmylawn:

Don't get me wrong, it's still cool that they're doing a cinema screening of BTTF, but given that the significance and hype of the 21st Oct 2015 date is that it's the future date of BTTF2, it makes sense to include that movie in some way.
-
I agree.
-
I knew you would, because you're a sensible man.
-
:tup
-
And I just finished programming my new collision system, which extrapolates adjacent raycasts to find their theoretical intersection point to eliminate jittering on sharp points, so now I'm off to bed. :blob:

Here is the link for my completed "Gapless" album which I wanted to be like Six Degrees by Dream Theater - one continuous piece of music for 22 minutes including a trilogy of songs at the end.
I'm VERY happy with it overall, and think all the transitions work great ! :)
-
Wow, I didn't know you had so much stuff on Spotify, I think it's because I searched for David Oaks before. I'll have a listen tomorrow while working.

Morning.

Morning hef.
To follow up on our simulating conversation about extrapolating raycasts, I found a couple of bugs in my code today. Due to a mistake I made in my code and possibly due to the margin of error on calculating the surface normal vector, some of the lines were converging way off. I fixed my mistake, added a margin of error on the parallel delta, and added a check that the x value of the projected intersection point lies between the x values of the two initial raycasts. All good. You're welcome. :blob:
So, what's up?

Sounds like a good weekend. What are the excursion and festival?
-
It's when you go outside and see things while the sun hits your skin.
You're welcome.
-
The excursion is to hit some spots in the mountains, to check out the change of colors in the trees, do some hiking, get some pics, eat some food.
The festival is our very own Autumn Leaves Festival (https://www.autumnleavesfestival.com/). Lots of arts & crafts, live music (although most of it will hold no interest for me), and great food.
-

My grandmother arrives tomorrow to stay for a week. We only see her a few times a year these days, so that's always nice.

I know. I know.
That's cool seeing your grandmother. I'll my grandparents passed away. I miss seeing them.

Well, it's now supposed to rain tomorrow, so fuck.

Dammit.

Right back at ya. What you really need is a coffee maker with a timer.
I'm sipping my coffee already. :vfs:
Long weekend up here - it's our Thanksgiving. As Josh would say... what have you done with your life lately?

Morning.

'evening mate.

Does 10:30pm count as evening? Eh, I guess it does for me. Feeling really off tonight. Been feeling off the whole week.

I'd make the coffee but I'd drink it all on the wifey.
She's up now and the coffee is brewing.

Going with my dad for one last ice cream run to our favorite place since it closes for winter after this weekend.
-
Nice. That sounds awesome.
-
They have 50 flavors they make there so I'll get a gallon to take home as well.
-
That's cool King. It's already too cold here for ice cream IMO... but that's very subjective, I don't think everyone would agree :lol
In the meantime, having a good relaxed Saturday. The first of the last two UEFA 2016 qualification matches for the Netherlands is on tonight, and they really have to win this too. I don't really have very high hopes but we'll see..
-
It's just warming up here for Spring, so plenty of ice cream in the near future for me. You jealous, king? :lol

I slept most of the weekend away after waking up Saturday morning with a screaming head-cold. Of course! We're going on vacation on Friday so it's mandatory that I be miserable with head pressure while flying. We wouldn't want to break the tradition.
-
I flew with a head cold for the first time a few years back and holy shit was that painful.
-
Did you drink a ton of water ?
-
I don't think so, not more than usual.

That would help i think. Plus nasal inhalers for decongestion.

It goes pretty good. Went to a wedding this past weekend, I saw one of my best buddies get married so a good time was had by all.

Pulled over by Police earlier ! :police:
I'd forgotten to turn my fuel on so was spluttering and driving slow so I pulled over and a police car pulled in front of me.
Told them i'd just forgotten to turn my fuel on. They checked my licence and number plate etc and said on your way :biggrin:..

Color me jealous! There is nothing but straight, flat roads here in Florida. I can't wait to move up north and get a change of scenery.
-
I was going for miles in one direction - and I thought " hmm i don't want to run out of petrol miles from a station - i'll head back "
Next day - topped up the tank - and went back. Turns out that the road I was heading down eventually ends up back where I started anyway :lol
i'd have been completely fine. Oh well. Better to be safe than sorry :)

That looks cool Blob.
In other news, it's been quite cold here for about two weeks now and the heating in my house is broken. It will be repaired tomorrow, but it's getting colder inside every day. We're down to 14 C (57 F I think?) now, which basically means I wear two pairs of trousers and socks, two sweaters and a scarf when I'm at home. And I still have a bad cold.
-
I would have thought you'd be better adapted to the cold where you live. 14C is about as cold it ever gets during the day here (it can get down to 0C overnight occasionally). I've never double-panted or double-socked, but I have a really thick Winter robe that keeps me warm.

:lol It was 13 C yesterday and sunny and I was out in jeans and tee shirt...
It's pretty cold at night though.

I'll wear jeans and t-shirt down to about 16C if it's a clear day. I love walking in cooler weather. If it's overcast or windy, I might wear a jacket though. If it's 13C, I'm wearing a jacket regardless. I'm Australian, so that's about as far as my resistance to cold can go. :lol

'sup. Speaking of weather, we might be getting some flurries this weekend. Nothing that will stick, but it's getting in to the low single digits. Raking time soon. Thankfully we don't have that many trees... we just get the shit blown on our yard from the park across the street from our house. :angry:

Flurries? I'm dreading that inevitable weather. I was just about to say that I'm surprised it's getting into the single digits already but I'm assuming you're talking about Celsius, not Fahrenheit. ;D

Well it was 2.77 Celsius this morning for me.
Hello world.

This weather we're having now is my favorite. I love autumn so I have been enjoying the days.

What is up?
-
Today I'm making a Dalek (an original '60s one), just because.
(https://www.blobvandam.com/link/dalek01.jpg)
-
:metal
-
When I was a really young Doctor Who fan - I loved the daleks. I drew them all the time.
I remember when I first saw Davros it was like :o what is that !?
And I can't remember which Doctor it was - Baker or Davidson maybe - they took the head off one Dalek and it was just goo inside.
I thought it was crazy at age 9 or whatever I was :lol
One of my biggest memories of Doctor Who is when Tom Baker became Peter Davidson and I didn't understand why... And I used to watch it in the hope that Tom would come back :P
Then when Colin Baker came along I was like "THIS IS GETTING WORSE" :lol
I did like Sylvester McCoy though. The TV movie with Paul McGann not so much...
Peter Capaldi's doctor is the first time i've watched an entire series since the RTD "era" rebooted the franchise.
-
Still got all of the classic era ahead of me, including the first appearance of Davros. I'm only up to The Evil of the Daleks, which is Troughton. That's what made me want to make the old Dalek. The Dalek stories were always the best ones.
-
I was fascinated by the Daleks. Never really thought much of the classic cybermen.
Have they bought back K-9 in this rebooted franchise yet ?
-
I haven't thought much of the classic Cybermen so far either. Pretty weak. :lol
They brought back K9 for a double episode in the second season of the new series, along with Sarah Jane, before she got her own spinoff, which I think K9 was also a main character in.
-
I only remember one scene *with k-9* in all Dr. Who from when I was tiny.
K-9 rolls into shot and the doctor says something about a time loop and it happens again a few times.
:/
May have been Tom Baker.
-
I think K9 was only with Tom Baker in the old series, and a time loop sounds like my kind of episode! I can't wait to see all of this stuff. Classic Who will probably be my main Summer viewing. Every Summer I like to have a show to watch when it's too hot to do anything productive. I mowed through New Who a couple of years ago after the 50th anniversary episode.
-
Haha. Whereas I hate being indoors in the summer ! :biggrin:
-
Couldn't think of anything worse than having to be outdoors in Summer! Having an average temperature over 30C for an entire season is brutal, and I'd rather not voluntarily turn my skin to cancery brown leather. :)
Thank god for the internet making outdoors obsolete! :metal
-
Ugh. The thought of being indoors all day when it's sunny and hot outside :lol
:\
But I probably stayed indoors when I lived in Dubai so yeah...
-
But your idea of sunny and hot in the UK is probably Australia's idea of mild and overcast. :P
-
A really good summer for us would be just over 30 degrees celsius. Which is about perfect.
When we lived in Dubai. That was as cold as it ever got :P But we lived at the beach :coolio
EDIT : From Wikipedia : " The highest recorded temperature in Dubai is 52.1 °C (126 °F). "
-
I will never ever understand the logic of going outside to the beach in hot weather. It's like people want cancer. Hey, it's skin burningly hot, so let's expose ourselves directly to it! I went to the beach once. It was horrible. :grumpycat:
I won't even go outside for a walk if it's above 21C, which rules out Summer altogether. Anything above that is uncomfortably hot to be outside in. I'm in the wrong country for livable weather.
-
I'm not sure but don't you have to get badly sunburned before you are in the danger area ?
I don't burn and I keep myself covered up for the most part.
Also you don't get cancer just from being in the sun. You're more likely if you're in the sun all day every day with no sun cream on or anything.
Not like * one hour in the sun and you're dead !!!!! *
-
I'm not sure but don't you have to get badly sunburned before you are in the danger area ?
Maybe in the UK, but not in Australia!

Guy on the Metallica forum is either stupid or trolling :
" Not only does And Justice For All sound *better* with no bass - all abums sound better with no bass. We don't even need bass guitar. We accept it because we've (actual quote) grown custom to it "
:lol

No it's not. A well lit room is much better for the eyes. I just have the lights out so certain people don't see that I'm still awake at 4am. :lol
-
:facepalm:
As a guitarist I hate when the bass is not in the forefront.

:metal Yeah, fuck those things!
:facepalm:
As a guitarist I hate when the bass is not in the forefront.
I hate the production on a lot of modern albums for this reason. I want to hear what the bass is playing, and not just get a general sense of "there is something in those frequencies". I like older stuff where the bass isn't buried by a wall of guitars.
-
Lets separate modern from the bass in the front. Geddy, Lee, Chris Squire, Steve Harris to name a few from the 70's and 80's were in the front. It's not about that modern sound where every instrument sounds like one big sound. No dimension. That's what I'm talking about.
-
I don't understand what point you're making, but I think I agree anyway. :lol
-
I keep saying that all those people who are like : :metal Fuck Yeah Justice sounds perfect as it is. It's so metal....
Never say " :metal Master Of Puppets would sound fuckin awesome with no bass on it "
If And Justice For All came out and it sounded like The Black Album - nobody would be uploading " fan mixes " of it to soundcloud with no bass saying it sounds better .
-
I don't understand what point you're making, but I think I agree anyway. :lol

If AJFA came out and sounded like the Black Album, I'd need a change of pants. What I wouldn't give to have a listenable version of that album.
-
That was the sound for metal in the 80's. I hated the kick drum sound. So dull, so flat. When the Black album came out all the metalheads lost it but I loved the big, bold sound. As long as there is separation in the instruments I'm all for a bigger sound.

That wasn't the sound for metal in the 1980s. They didn't sound totally wonked, for a start.
-
The way the first few Metallica albums sounded like all the darker metal albums. That was the style. I know, I lived it. I wasn't impressed by the sound and it turned me away from bands for that reason. Sure other albums were worse than others but it defiantly was a conscientious style.
-
Gah, it hurts my brain.
(https://www.blobvandam.com/link/captain_atrocity.jpg)
I wouldn't call it a style decision so much as the low budget underground thrash couldn't afford good production. Other more popular (at the time) '80s metal bands didn't sound like that.
-
I can't stand punk albums that sound like they were recorded in one take in a garage with one microphone.
-
I will disagree good sir. My 4 track recorder sounded better as well as the real studio's I went into for EP's as a teen.

I would never spend £20 on a bottle of coke / pepsi when I can get a regular coke/pepsi for £1 and it tastes the same.
-
It's $20, not £20, but obviously you're paying for the novelty/prop rather than the drink! I'd pay $20 for it, despite it not being close to screen accurate. Very few people are actually drinking them. They're collectables.

I'll keep the £13 and have a regular coke :biggrin:

I'm not sure I have the $20 right now anyway, so I'll keep it and drink whatever we have.
-
I used to drink Coke like it was out of style in my youth but I only have it when out to dinner these days.
-
I can't remember the last time I drank any kind of cola, but I think it was probably Jarritos Mexican Cola. It tastes like a cheap cola, with a distinct aftertaste of candy (but ain't bad).
-
I've seen that brand in a local Mexican restaurant in town but never tried it. they also have all the wild, wacky flavors as well. Like Cactus lime and other crazy styles.
-
We get that brand at mexican food places, and US food places. Never seen anything cactus-y around here though. :lol
-
I like those Jarritos soft drinks, but I can only find three of the flavours locally when there's apparently eight of them available in Australia. I don't buy them too often though due to the price.

Maybe those are the three flavours we had, I can't remember, I only remember Lime for sure because that's what we got. Woolworths is so limited for soda flavours.

It is a bit of an acquired taste compared to other apple flavoured drinks, but I enjoy it now. What ones have you tried? They all look so colourful and delicious on the ad. :lol I wish I could get them individually, because a 4 pack is a commitment.

The only ones I haven't bothered with yet are Ginger Beer and Sarsparilla. I'm not a big fan of Ginger Beer but I'll grab it eventually, and I haven't decided if I'll try the Sarsparilla at all. Out of the others the only ones I didn't like were Apple Cider and Pink Grapefruit. Pineapple and Coconut is probably my favourite.
It was probably a while ago now but Coles had a six pack of the fruitier flavours for a limited edition run, that's how I got into them because I never wanted to buy a four pack of something I'd never had before. But I liked five of the six in that so I took the risk with the remaining flavours.
-
I so want to post Dave Chappelle talking about Apple Drink compared to apple juice. So damn funny.
-
I've tried ginger beer once (not Bundaberg), and was not a fan of it at all, so I wouldn't bother with that one. I don't know what sarsparilla tastes like, but I kinda assumed it was along the same lines.
I've had other pink grapefruit drinks and liked those. I also like pineapple, not sure about the coconut bit.

Ooh, I'll have to look out for that. That sounds perfect.
-
I used to drink Schweppes Ginger Beer as a kid, but I probably haven't had any kind of Ginger Beer in at least 18 years. :lol That's why I haven't bothered with it yet. And like you I'm not exactly sure what to expect from Sarsparilla.
-
I'm getting ginger beer confused with root beer. I liked the Bundaberg Ginger Beer, but I can never finish a bottle. It's sweet and pleasant at the start, but by the end it's painful overwhelming ginger that wants to kill me. Root beer I just outright disliked.

I checked the Coles and Woolworths sites, and didn't see anything. :-\ I'll be on the lookout for it though.
I'll have to check if our soda store has the Apple Fanta back in stock. I want 5 cases of that shit. It's amazing.

Might be difficult, apparently we can't even spell it properly. :\

Man it's hard. It similar to Root Beer but less harsh with the flavor. Sweet but not overpowering.
Hey, your version is different than the USA version.

Put my bike away for the foreseeable. It's getting too cold to ride even in the sun.
The other day I was driving up the MAIN ROAD when some dickhead pulls out of a side street without looking and damn near drives right into me. I was gonna wait til he overtook and memorise his number plate and spread it all over the internet :coolio
But he never overtook and then turned off behind me so never mind.
Oh and it was an Audi driver of course. That time I fell over and the driver of the car in front got out to check their car and fucked off ? An Audi.
TL;DR - if you drive an Audi - you may not care about other motorists. :tup

:-\ Hey Doc, you better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

:-\ But...presumanbly we'll need them to land on though, yeah ?
Fine. where we're going we need roads to land on. :coolio

So this guy is going to next weeks Thursday Night game. Tailgating, here I come.
-
Sweet!
Panthers play on Sunday Night this week, and Monday Night the following week, followed by a showdown with the Packers in Charlotte. Should be a fun couple of weeks.
Our only Thursday game this season is Thanksgiving at the Cowboys.
-
Prime time games kill me as I get older.

Not sure I could attend one.
Well, maybe. Charlotte is a 2 hour drive for me. I would go to a prime time game if I had a hotel for the night. I'm not fond of driving that far that late at night.
-
I'm talking the next day off. It's about 1 1/2 hour drive for me.
Watching these late night games then going to work are what takes the gas out of me. Price of following good teams.

The wife is so awesome to let me go. Our anniversary is the day before. 21 years married. We'll go out Saturday to a restaurant but I'll make her what she wants for dinner Wednesday night, Spaghetti & Meatballs and of course a ton of wild flowers for her.
Then her birthday is the week after. Blowing lots of money the next few weeks.
-
I know all about it.
-
Blowing lots of money the next few weeks.
And in return.....
-
I get to do my guy stuff. A good marriage is about letting each other be themselves, individuals while still being married, a unit.
-
I get to do whatever I want too. :coolio
I'm single 'n' lovin' it. :zydar:
-
When you join in a relationship you have to change your selfish ways. It's not about you anymore. That's why.
-
:loser: sux 2 b u
-
Not really. I get to do what I want because I treat her right. I would feel empty without her.
-
And she withou....no I'm not going there :lol
I MADE UP A STAR TREK JOKE
There's a long wait to join the Continuum.
..It's an infinite Q.

I feel most dreadfull. I'll have 5 sundays.

Is it sad that I once worked out if he did have enough road to hit 88mph? Given a Delorean's supposed acceleration, I recall he did have enough road to hit 88mph, but he would have had to speed through an intersection to do it. :blob:

Morning guys

Morning John. What's going on with you today?
-
Heading out to the Bronx to work on a problem. I'm the last line of defense in my department and I've only been here for just over a year. If people knew how to do their jobs, I wouldn't always have to pick up the slack. They pay people here based on quantity not quality, so the woman who has been here for 15 years makes six figures but she barely knows how to turn on a computer.

Back To The Future day is over ( again ) and I R SAD NAO :emo:
-
I'm going to build a time machine so every day can be BTTF day again.

That may be a feather in your cap though. Showing them you are flexible and helpful will be good in their eyes.

The big boss knows what I'm capable of and knows what others aren't so I'm not too worried. I was just venting because I hate traveling up the the Bronx. :biggrin:
-
Time to make a pit stop at the Brooklyn Brewery and pick up a few bottles!

Morning, folks.

That sucks. Your mistake or theirs? What are you doing instead without it?

Theirs but the part is something I've had to replace so I'll keeps it. Just bad timing. Well, I'm off. Later!

I'm going to build a time machine so every day can be BTTF day again.
This is actually the first time that i've watched all 3 films in close proximity. Gotta say I still think 3 is better than 2 but that's just my preference :)

So, now all of BTTF is in the past.

3 has always been my least favourite, but I've enjoyed it a lot more recently. I've always liked it a lot of course, but because of the western setting and the love story, I haven't enjoyed it as much as the first two. They work so well together though, and the last time I watched it I was paying closer attention to detail, and noticed a lot of little lines and things I hadn't appreciated before.
So, now all of BTTF is in the past.
Damn. That's a sad reality to live in.
-
I am apparently of the minority opinion that the first film is one of the finest of the 80's, perhaps of the last 50 years, but I don't care for 2 or 3 very much at all. They seem extraneous and unnecessary to me. The first film is great all on its own.
But whatever.
-
Get out of my thread.
-
No.
-
Well damn. This is going to surprise you, but that was a total bluff on my part.

Could've fooled me.

Great, now the tough guy image I've tried so hard to maintain on the forum is ruined. Now what I going to do?

You silly goose. You're more of the nocturnal embasitor.

It's someone who lives at the AMBASI

Yes because they are close and I suck at texting and suck even more at checking.
I fully admit I'm not very good at spelling but at least I know how to spell ambassador.
-
Yeah, but how could it "correct" to a non-word? I could see correcting to a different word altogether by mistake, but that's weird.

Crazy day at work today. 2 guys coming in for background/drug screen for new hires. Plus all the craziness with the printer, getting loads sent to another site. The forklift getting picked up for repair that my manager did not tell me about.
Can't wait to hit the recliner.
-
Good evening folks, let the job search begin!
-
Ooohhh!! Good luck Reap!
-
Ooohhh!! Good luck Reap!
:hug: Goood Luck ! :) :)

Thank you guys both! I hope I can find something, it's tough because I don't really know what to apply for. For the past 5 years I've managed a 32 room hotel, two homes, and 4-plex apartment building. I oversaw everything but this isn't a chain owned hotel so I'm just looking for anything in the Charlotte area that can at least pay $40k a year, my trading will supplement my income. I just want out of Florida.
-
Good luck, buddy.

Morning

Hey

Hey.
Coffee is brewing. Raking leaves and mowing the rest today.

We are headed up to Grandfather Mountain for the day. Looking forward to it.

Awesome. We did that last Sunday. Old man is coming over to watch the game tomorrow.
-
:tup

Coffee is being drunk. Something else is brewing down below however. ;)
Going to a horseshoe tournament today - fundraiser for our local health centre. Then, going to a party helping a good friend celebrate her 1 year anniversary since starting cancer treatments - which she successfully completed a few months ago, and is cancer-free.
Then an 8am flight to San Fran tomorrow morning. Yay!
-
That is awesome Chad. You don't know how much my family and friends helped me to get through Lymphoma. It meant the world to Lisa and I.

Good morning folks!
Took the bike to work today which I regret because I have no way to go out and get coffee.

Still building a Dalek. I should be doing other things, but this is fun.

Well, I'm abut to head out and rake leaves and mow the lawn. I DON'T WANT TO DO IT!

Still building a Dalek.
This is why DT fans have the reputation they have. I daresay there are few other places in existence where this question could be met with this answer.
-
DT fans have the reputation they have because they're prog fans, and prog fans have the reputation they have because they're prog fans. :lol
And you should be the first to know I'm not at all representative of DT fans here, nor am I even a prog fan. I'm just a garden variety nerd! :blob:
And to be fair, this Dalek is looking pretty awesome.

Yo peeps.

:hifive: Love that game and it's better in almost every way than the first.
i think I played it from beginning to end about 3 or 4 times.

Are you playing on PC?

I do, yeah.

What's your name on there, I'll add you!

x) I don't use it though.
I used it for BL2 and that's it. i forgot I even had it til you reminded me - but Kotow1701
-
Just added you, maybe we can play some BL2 sometime.
-
Hmm. i no longer have the game on my Mac :emo:
-
:(
-
I played it so much that it was one of the things I shredded from my hard drive when I was trying to clear up some space.
-
So I have now finished my first two weeks of uni, and I have to say that it's been a lot of fun so far.

I listened to it just now, and it's pretty good. I'm not very good at giving constructive criticism. I can only say that's it's pretty good overall but doesn't seem to really go anywhere (sorry if that sounds harsh!) until 'The Eternity of Stars Part 3'. That one, together with the first three tracks make up my favourites. The riff on the last song is really good. I think I've said this before, but the first two tracks remind me of very early Devin Townsend a bit, albeit without the madness.
-
Thanks ! No offence taken ! :)
Most people say it needs vocals but It's instrumental. It's designed not to feel lacking in that dept. :) I try to put in guitar or synth where vocals should be.
Does it sound good with all the transitions ? :)
I'm pretty happy with it and spent a month on it. Which is pretty long for me ! :P
-
The riff on the last song is really good.
Which particular riff is that ? :) x

Boring stuff here. Going food shopping now then my cousin is coming over to check my brakes. He thinks the shoes he was given by the auto shop were the wrong size. Vibrations and squealingredients going on. Th end the old man over to watch the football game.

Do you keep the black and white and film grain filters on while working on it for shits and giggles, or are those just for our benefit? :lol

It doesn't look like that while I'm working on it, only when I do a render, so I can compare it to the original shitty quality video. I'm trying to match how it looked on TV as closely as possible.

I'm looking forward to the premiere of Supergirl later on. We'll see how it is. Plus there's a new episode of Big Bang Theory and a special 90 minute episode of Scorpion. Lots of TV to watch later on.

Same here. I'm DVRing The X-Files so I can catch up with everything before the new episodes air next year. Last night they two great shows on National Geographic back-to-back that I DVRed. One was about genealogy research where they took the DNA from random people to trace their lineage. Another show was a live brain surgery and I'm obsessed with anything to do with the brain. I should have been a neuroscientist.

I did yard work all day Saturday so after the game I was fading in and out of conciseness until I went to bed. I was gassed.
-
The one pro of living in an apartment...the yard work isn't mine to do. The weather was nice this weekend so I wound up outside with the spawn for a little while.
-
I've got to do it again this weekend then the weekend after I get my neighbor's wood splitter. Lot's of fun there.
-
Sounds destructive. :metal

Morning, guys.
The Panthers game was fun last night.

Sure was. Can't wait for Thursday night.

Sure was. Can't wait for Thursday night.
3 weeks ago, I wouldn't have cared too much about that game.
Things are a little different now.

Heading out into the field. Catch up with you guys later.

Yeah, that new coach got them firing on all cylinders right now. Besides, the Pats always struggle with the Dolphins even when they are average. The teams know each other too well.
-
The one pro of living in an apartment...the yard work isn't mine to do.
I agree but I'm ready to own a home with my own yard, I don't think I'd mind as much.
Going on a week with this sore throat FML.

One of my best buds and his girlfriend went to Vermont this weekend for their anniversary. He told us in a text last night that he was proposing at sunrise. Well, sunrise was two hours ago. I haven't heard from him and her Facebook is silent.
-
Hopefully, they are just enjoying the moment.
-
Or maybe he decided to fuck it and sleep in until a decent hour instead.
-
They may be enjoying each others company. I had a buddy of mine propose to his girlfriend on a walk on a trail where one of their first dates were. Radio silence for over a day then finally both of them call everybody and say that they are engaged.

When I worked 3rd shift 20 some odd years ago, my wife's apartment (we were engaged at the time) was on a main road next to a highway. Huge trucked rolled by. At first I struggled but I got used to it over time and never noticed after that.

Why?
She doesn't like any of us. There have been instances where we've done something as a group, d she's refused to drive with certain ones of us (who have been friends with him for 15+ years) in her car. She's belittles him on a number of occasions about how she makes double what he does salary wise and how he is holding her back from completing her life goals. Shes just kind of a bitch to all of us for no reason whatsoever. Sure, maybe 4 years ago when we were all still 21 and 22 we could be a little rowdy, but we've all become adults now.
-
Have you ever confronted him about this?
-
Does anyone else have those weird moments when you're lying in bed drifting off and you have a "memory" and you go " Oh yeah - what was that again ?? " and after a second or two you go
" hang on - that never happened I just made that up :| "
In that instant it feels like a memory and you almost "remember" it...
I guess in the same way that your mind assumes dreams are real and when you fall asleep - sometimes it makes you jerk to make sure you're not actually dying :P
-
Another thing I like is when you're in an almost dream state and you're half awake thinking about your job and it's not *quite* a dream but then you realise
" hey this isn't real I can imagine whatever I want " and you imagine yourself walking out or smashing something :lol
-
Lucid dreaming? I've had those a few times before. I've tried to make myself lucid but often times I just end up waking up when I realize I'm in a dream.
-
Lucid dreaming? I've had those a few times before. I've tried to make myself lucid but often times I just end up waking up when I realize I'm in a dream.
Nah it's not really lucid dreaming. It's when you're not quite asleep yet and you're just imagining being at work but because you're almost asleep anyway it feels like it's real so you kinda
go along with it and then you realise that you're just imagining it. Kinda hard to explain I know.
-
I think I know what you're getting at. I used have these "dreams" when I was in high school. My mom, my brother and I lived in a town house, we had a shared back yard with the neighboring townhouse however it was vacant, the people that owned it only came down to visit a couple times a year.
Anyway, I remember waking up many nights hearing people talking outside in the yard, in perfect english (my parents have a strong accent). Always different voices, always different topics. I'd run downstairs or look out the window, voices stopped and there was never anyone there.
-
I only remember a couple of genuinely lucid dreams where I knew I was in a dream and was walking around looking at stuff.

I love mondays, it's my drink and play video games night.

Great to hear. :tup It doesn't come out until the 12th here unfortunately, so a couple of weeks before I'll get to see it.

It's just a shame that Quantum of Solace was not that great or he could have had a flawless run as Bond.

It's just a shame that Quantum of Solace was not that great or he could have had a flawless run as Bond.
Damn writer's strike! On the plus side, QoS still had an amazing soundtrack, one of my favourites. Speaking of which, I'll have to see if the Spectre soundtrack is out yet. I knew the Skyfall soundtrack very well before I ever saw the movie, so that was an interesting first watch.
-
QoS was *ok* on first watch and a bit better on second viewing. I went to see it with my Dad and it was the shortest Bond movie to date at about 100 minutes but felt really long.
However - Spectre is 2 hours and 20 minutes and at no point does it drag or do you think " Oh it's this bond trope - can we get this scene over with ? "

I've only seen QoS once, at the cinema, and thought it was ok. Not great or memorable, but I didn't think it was total crap either. I didn't realize it was shorter, but it makes sense since they barely had a script.
I've avoided seeing too much about Spectre aside from the first teaser ages ago, so it will be nice to watch it fresh. I know it has Batista, and that's about it.
-
Bautista is brutal in this film. He's like Jaws.
EDIT : I did wonder whether they got him in Spectre because his name in GOTG was "Drax" - the villain from Moonraker. :biggrin:
-
Good morning guys, a little hung over this morning :(

I haven't seen GOTG, I'm just glad Batista is far away from wrestling. :biggrin: I was hoping he'd be more of a Jaws type role (with hopefully not a ton of dialogue). Interesting bit of trivia with the names. :lol

HOPEFULLY NOT A SPOILER :
Bautista doesn't say one word in this film !
-
I don't consider that a spoiler, but I'm very glad to hear it. That's exactly the kind of role I was envisioning for him in the movie. :tup
-
Good morning guys, a little hung over this morning :(
Ohhhhh yeah... Whether i'm having an ocular migraine or on some strong medication - I get really claustrophobic when I don't feel 100% "here"...?
So I could never get drunk. I hate that feeling of not being in control of yourself.

I'm hoping for an episode of Still Untitled today because there wasn't one. And they're usually on a Tuesday...

Not sure. It's been forever since I've actually listened to one. :lol Anything longer than 10 minutes, and I usually end up forgetting about it.

I've started enjoying podcasts etc.
I'm currently listening to Half In The Bag do a commentary of Return Of The Jedi. I dont have the film but it's just funny listening to Rich, Jay and Mike talking anyway.

:corn It's half term this week and I just want it over with because I have a lot of time off next week.

On the plus side, QoS still had an amazing soundtrack, one of my favourites.
Night At The Opera is the best thing about that whole movie.

All quiet on the gadzooks front... :(
-
I just got here, made some tasty steak like I normally do on Tuesdays, now to read about coding. How is your night Kotow?
-
Groovy !
I love seeing the river at high tide so I've been checking when the highest tide was and it was tonight and OMFG.. :eek :eek
There's a path which runs adjacent to the river to get to the wildlife reserve. IT WAS UNDERWATER.
I went to the car park by the supermarket which is right on the river...THE RIVER WAS *FLOWING* ACROSS THE CAR PARK.
Not just a bit flooded by high tide...FLOWING RIVER ACROSS THE CAR PARK...
:metal I have a fascination with seeing lots of water where it's not supposed to be and find images of huge ships half in the water really fucking creepy. :| :|
Had Hot Dogs for dinner :coolio
EDIT : You can see the difference in the watermark HERE : https://instagram.com/p/9WCcp9xHpf/?taken-by=kotow2015
-
That's awesome! We often get flooding here when we get the lunar tides. Since we are so close to sea level salt water will start coming up through the storm drains.
-
It's always at night though. I have a day off Friday and high tide is about 8am so might get up to have a look.
-
New Still Untitled and it's a long one ! :metal
Something to watch after work.
-
Hey Kotow
-
Hello !
I am just off to work. Only 3 hours today :metal Fish Me Duck !!!
-
I'm sitting at work contemplating
illegal more appealing ways to make money.
-
Good luck/have fun at work to the both of you.
My semester started this week, but this first week we're probably not going to hear anything new. Looking forward to next week and getting to know some more cool people here in Germany.
-
Good morning guys! I can't believe I didn't check woot yesterday in the morning. They had a PS4 for $300 :/
-
Morning friends (and Zydar).
I'm not saying I have ADHD, but it's become apparent to me that every time I decide to post a pic of what I'm working on, it's an entirely new project without having finished the previous one. :lol
(https://www.blobvandam.com/link/kirkchair.jpg)
(It's the captain's chair from Star Trek TOS)
-
That's awesome blob. Funny you bring up ADHD but I'm going in to get it looked at this week. I feel like I've had it all my life but now it's starting to affect my work more and more.
-
It's been affecting me for a long time, especially since for my work from home I'm left to organize myself. It's really bad lately.
-
Me too! I've always wondered how people could sit down and study for hours on end at school, I couldn't do it, I'd have to focus really hard and be deliberate.
Now it's spoiled into things I enjoy, for example I love riding my motorcycle, I'll get on and drive for a few minutes and think about how awesome it would be to go paddle boarding, do that, then I think about how awesome it'd be to play The Witcher. I can't focus on things I enjoy let alone work.
-
Same. It's not that I'm necessarily lazy, or have a short attention span, I'm just often so easily distracted and bored and forget what I was doing entirely.
I often have trouble getting a solid 10 minutes of work in without being distracted by internet or whatever else. I use a little timer program on my computer to try to keep track of my time, which has helped a bit, if I remember to use it.
It's so frustrating, because I know I could achieve so much if my stupid brain could actually put in the same amount of work in a day as even the average person can.

It's a small free program called SnapTimer (for Windows). I have it pinned to the taskbar, and once it's open it stays on top of other windows. I just leave it in the corner running, and it makes me a lot more aware of getting work done in a set time. My only problem is getting myself to use it in the first place. :lol

Boss here today in a few, 2 more interview to conduct and dinner with the wife to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary tonight. See you tonight DTF.

iTunes is such a piece of shit.

It took you this long to realize? :P
I refuse to ever install that crap on my PC, but I have it on a shame Mac in the corner for if I absolutely need it (which is rarely).

No I've always known it, it's just annoying me more than usual today.
I only have it installed to manage my iPod, otherwise I wouldn't have it installed at all either.
-
The only thing I've used it for is managing iThings too, like if I have to update iOS or swap over to a new iThing.
I just noticed your new avatar. Very nice. :lol
-
I just noticed your new avatar. Very nice. :lol
You saw it? I thought the .gif was broken. It works on my computer but ever since I uploaded it to DTF, I haven't seen it change even once.
-
I think it took a while to change, it was while I was typing up that post.
Now that I'm trying to count it, it's gone over 5 minutes without doing anything. Did you make it yourself? What did you set for the delay? Maybe it isn't set to loop? I don't know. I saw it change twice, but now it's being shy.

It's set not to loop, but that was intentional. :lol Thing is even if I were to shift+refresh the page (to force the browser to redownload everything) it still doesn't change from the first frame at all for me.
I just used some lousy online web applet to make it because I couldn't be bothered downloading real software.
-
If I shift+refresh the page, it works again fine for me, takes about 20 seconds. But otherwise I think it keeps track of it so it doesn't loop when I refresh the page regularly. I'd make it loop just to be safe. But I approve of the laziness.

Yeah, I should fix it. I thought the problem might have been the excessive delay I used (50,000ms :lol). I was considering making a better version anyway that changes between the original photograph instead of the glasses one.
-
I like the idea of using the same photo in this case. Before I tried refreshing the page and checked how long until it looped, and it was over 5 minutes with nothing, so I don't think the problem is the delay, I think the looping is stopping it. Although the idea of someone spotting it at a glance, then never seeing it again is kind of amusing. You'd think you were going crazy. :lol
-

That's why I did it. :lol I also wanted the demonic image to have a much shorter delay but I couldn't find an applet that would let me.
-
Aw that sucks. I like it when it's just a brief flash of another image to freak people out. :lol
-
I considered multiple identical frames, but originally I wanted the demonic image to be visible for only a second or two, and I would have needed a ton of frames so that it didn't appear too often. I wasn't sure the resulting image would be accepted by the forum due to filesize, so I went with the fewer frames and a high delay as a compromise to keep the size of the image down.
However I've just tested the waters and the filesize limit on avatars is much higher than I thought it was, so I could have done it. No point now though, can't be bothered making it again and the secret is out.
-
Yes, Taylor Swift's secret is out. She's really a horrible carnivorous monster. Wait, was that really a secret?

Yes...
But more importantly, hello Taylor Swift.

Geting my production done at work and then it's tailgating time! :metal

I'm heading out into the field. The metrocard machines at the subway station at Citi Field are down and they want that up before tomorrow for obvious reasons. Thanks to Verizon this has been a running issue for about a month. I go there today to make sure they fixed what they were supposed to fix...again.

Am I not counted as a perv? :(

You don't flaunt it. I know you have a collection though.

A collection of what?
-
Porn. Like every respectable man has. :lol
-
Oh, right. I have 160gb worth, after deleting maybe about 20gb yesterday. Weeks worth of perving there. :lol
-
Get rid of the one's that just don't do it for you anymore. :lol
-
Get rid of the one's that just don't do it for you anymore. :lol
I did. That leaves 160gb. :lol
-
Boy are you going to be sore with that much porn. :lol
-
I don't know what you're talking about. :yeahright
I can only imagine the profiling and statistics someone could get by checking this collection.
-
I have a friend that he made a program that inputs all your information from TV listings as well as DVD's and Blu-Rays. It's impressive.

I was thinking more along the lines of Weird Science, where it just scans through my collection and calculates the perfect woman. :lol :P
-
Speaking of database, is there a site where you can search for a show or a movie and it lists the streaming sites that has them? (HBO Nordic, Netflix, and Viaplay are the ones I subscribe to).
-
I know there are sites like that, although I've only seen ones that cover the major ones of Netflix/Hulu/amazon/itunes etc. Not sure about some of those streaming services being included.

BUT WHAT DOES IT DO? It just sounds like imdb. :lol
-
He at one time built and sold his own computers and did repairs and programming. He ended up getting a real job for benefits but is a genius. Made his own program to run all the led lights he put in his house (built into the framework outside) so it syncs with music that he wants to play. So Halloween, or Christmas music it flashes with the songs he play. People can get a FM frequency to listen to the music and watch the lights. He made a program to have his sprinkler system turn on at certain times. He wrote all the progams to do this stuff.
He's a programmer now. Not sure which company though.

So it's been a while since anything interesting has happened at the hotel. Story time!
This morning I get a texts from one of the tenants who live near the property saying that there is a guy outside yelling, he is shirtless and barefoot with red shorts on. I write her back and say I'm almost there and I'll take care of it. I get to the hotel and all is quiet, maybe it was a drunk guy I think.
About 10 minutes later my maid comes in with this frightening look on her face and says some guy is going nuts upstairs, it's a guest and he is fucked up. Screaming at the top of his lungs making zero sense, yelling something about his bed sheets. I call the police and they show up, they tell him to sit outside while they go into his room. While they search his room he is just rambling nonsense about have deep cuts all over his body (he seemed visibly fine). I go back to my office and let the police take care of it. One of the officers comes down and tells me they found "loads of crack" in his room. He was apparently smoking it and shooting it up, so off he goes to jail.
Now I'm having some coffee.
-
Story involved crack. A+
So that's enough excitement for one day, huh? :lol
-
Jesus, that's nuts.

Damn. Is there anything you're supposed to do with that room before it can be rented out again? Do the police mandate that you have the room cleaned and inspected because narcotics were present?

Not in this case no, they did take some photos, took his items, took a statement and that's it. Fairly simple.
We had someone stay here who killed somebody, that was a bit more interesting.
A couple years ago in April a girl shows up to rent a room, looks like a spring breaker, nothing out of the ordinary. I rent her the room and that's that. Later that night I get a call on my cell phone (the hotel forwards calls to my cell phone after hours) asking to speak to a manager. I say I'm across the street at a local bar and I'll be over, this guy tells me he is waiting for me in a toyota 4runner. It was a really weird call because most after hour calls are people looking for a room.
I walk over and this big guy comes out of the suv, shows me a badge, he is an undercover cop. Asks about a room at the hotel, the room I rented to the girl earlier, he says there is a guy there that has a warrant, he won't go into the room because he doesn't want to cause a scene (we were packed that night) and he will just wait until the guy leaves. He also lets me know that there are undercover cops next all possible exits near his room.
As time goes on I start noticed more and more sheriff's car show up, plus unmarked SUV's, they also close down the roads leading to the hotel. The guy tried to leave and they arrested him, by that time the us marshals were there with about 20-30 local and state police. Turns out this guy (who looked like a mid twenties thug) killed two drug dealers about 45 minutes north of here and fled. They found out where he is through his girlfriend (the one I rented to) and tracked him to our place.
They tore that room apart, and roped it off for a day or so. We get some excitement here from time to time.
-
Well I was supposed to have a day off tomorrow.
Then - one of the staff that walked out in the summer because they couldn't handle the pressure wants more hours again because they're running out of money.
So she arranged with me to work my Friday.
Then it was back and forth for ages until I finally got it confirmed by my Manager that I did indeed have Friday off.
Then she decides that she doesn't want to work after all so I have to go in on my day off. ::)
So I said " Fine but only for two hours because i'm tired of being messed about ... "
So i'm doing two hours tomorrow at most.
-
Kotow sounds like my job 90% of the time, nothing seems organized here. I am the GM here at the hotel but I hate it when my owner is in town, she likes to muddle with things that often make everything worse.
-
The few of us that are left don't get a big thank your for not walking out when it was really busy - they just bitch about the people that left.
FOUR people left in the summer which means the rest of us had to work really fuckin long hours - sometimes for 14 days in a row with no day off.
Instead it's all " blah blah blah staff are all shit ".
-
That sucks, I know the feeling :(
-
I've started digging my heels in a bit more now because i've been there 5 months and i'm not the newbie anymore.
-
How many hours do you work a week?
-
Supposed to be about 18.
During the summer it was as many as 40 a week but the money was good !
Now it's back down to 18.
Because I worked so hard in the summer - i've got a nice big buffer in my bank before I am in serious monetary trouble. :coolio
Minimum wage has gone up to £6.70 recently and it goes up to £7.20 in April which is a good reason for sticking around - or to be in a job generally !

Hey Blob - I was thinking - I bet you hate hearing The Simpsons do "Aussie" accents as much as I hate their "English" accents. :lol

So is it time for a new Chat Thread ?
" DTF Chat Thread v. KotowBlob "
-
Hey Blob - I was thinking - I bet you hate hearing The Simpsons do "Aussie" accents as much as I hate their "English" accents. :lol
Probably. :lol
They've admitted that in the Australian episode they weren't trying to do real Aussie accents, which is good, because they sound nothing like Australian accents. I hate most of that episode. Not because they're insulting Australia (I'm all for that), but because there was almost no basis in reality. Insults are much funnier when there's some truth in there, and usually the Simpsons was great with their satire, but in that episode they just made up unrelated stuff instead.
-
You mean you DON'T play knifey spoony?
-
:lol
That bit is true. Knifey Spoony is a traditional children's game.
-
Boy that would be a disaster for the World Series!!
Disaster averted. They're painting the station to make it look "pretty." It doesn't do a good job of covering up the oxidized metal. Plus it's going to stink tonight. They should have painted it a week ago. Typical city job mentality.
-
:) :) I got to work today and the cook says " Didn't you get my text ? It's been dead so we don't need you after all . Have a free lunch for your inconvenience "
Bingo ! :tup
So no work today - but i'm still going in 2:00 - 3:30pm to help clean - as was the plan anyway. :)
Now i'm at home watching Adam Savage, Chris Hadfield and Andy Weir talk about " The Martian ". :)
-
Sweet :tup, I just got to work, I wish I was still in bed though .
-
Morning
-
Bit of a contrast... 90 minute shift today . 5.5 hours tomorrow :biggrin:
But that's my last long day for a good while as next week I have Monday - 90 minutes Tue & Wed off and Thu - 90 minutes then Fri Sat Sun - 5 hours each. :tup
-
I was supposed to have 10 straight hours of university today... Luckily, the last 4 hours aren't mandatory so I just finished the work I had to turn in and then went home. Ugh. I like my study and the lectures but 10 hours straight is way too much.
-
My friend and I hated our music business lesson as we thought the lecturer didn't have a clue what he was talking about...
So we both used to turn up for registration, wait for our names to be called out and then leave and go to Costa Coffee :lol
-
Guys.
I finally have a car again.
Its a piece of shit... but it's my piece of shit.

And I didn't realize Grimm is back! A good first episode, aside from the stupid cheesy thing tacked on in the last 5 seconds. :lol They must have forgotten to write a good ending.
-
They do. Haha. Actually some of the windows do not roll down, and its thrashed on the inside, and there's no radio, and there is no lock on the driver's side door (gotta unlock from the passenger side)
But... it will get me to and fro work.

You should call it the Shitmobile. Because it's shit, but somehow still mobile.

Hi potty mouths.

Morning king, will you be watching Grimm soon?
-
Just recorded it last night. Maybe this morning. Can't wait!

I didn't even know it was coming back until I came across it via my usual shady channels. That was a nice surprise. And I can't wait for Ash vs Evil Dead!
-
My DVR is set for that too!

Morning

Morning Hef.

Hey hey hey

Fire pit tonight over my brother's. Watching Grimm right now. 15 minutes in and it's awesome.

Tonight is Halloween, but my youngest has pneumonia and probably shouldn't be allowed to trick-or-treat. FML

You could dress as her and trick or treat for her.

Pardon your language, Kotow!
I don't know what came over me... :emo:
Jesus will be very upset indeed. :(

Sheeeeeeiiiitttttt.

Happy Halloween.
I'm fucking bored.

You know what I did this halloween? I played in a marching band at a football game and then watched some videos at my brother's place.
Boring is right.
On the other hand, yesterday, I got my Mr. Bean on.

I dressed up as a nerd for Halloween.
I didn't dress up.
-
I was a couch potato.
So I was myself.
-
You should have dressed up as a regular potato. That would have been awesome. What did you think of Grimm?
I haven't seen Ash vs Evil Dead, so nothing on that one yet!
-
So many twists in that first Grimm episode! Thinking he'll have answers then their all dead! I love that damn show.
DVR'D Ash but haven't watched it yet.
-
Oh, and I'd do the mashed potato. :lol

Sounds messy. :lol

In the course of my highly productive day, I have calculated that the viewscreen on the original Enterprise is an 84" diagonal display. Some other site calculated it at 136". Pffffft. I'll trust my calculations over theirs, since I built the entire set to get to that figure. :blob:
-
Thanks Spock. I am dealing with the irrational today going to my friend's daughters 16th birthday. I know Blob, but I held her in my hands in the hospital. Now she wants the world. Crazy..
-
She's only sixteeeeeeeen....... nah, that doesn't so well.
I'm sure there will be cake. Your presence is mandatory.
-
I demand 2 slices as my appearance fee.
-
What up Gang !
My new rota starts tomorrow !
I'm in from 2pm - 3:30pm to clean the kitchen on Mondays and Thursdays..
I'm off Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Friday Saturday and Sunday are normal 4 - 6 hour days. :)
Should be doing about 18 hours a week but it'll be nice to have two days off back-to-back as I've only had Tuesday off since the summer began !!
Mind you I have saved up a lot of money from all the extra hours so paying rent shouldn't be a problem for a while !!
Cleaning from 2pm - 3:30pm tomorrow then two days off then back in for 90 minutes on Thursday = can not wait :coolio
-
I demand 2 slices as my appearance fee.
That's our king!

I had a nice weekend off, time to get back to work :(

Morning Reaper.

If I was given the option of getting no vacation time in exchange for getting 26 Mondays off per year, I think I would do it.

Morning / Afternoon / Evening Reap. Got three days off. fancied a bike ride. Caught bus to Dad's farm where bike lives.
Got all kitted up - put the key in. Pressed the starter.
NOTHING.
Battery dead for some reason. Charging overnight and trying again tomorrow.

That sucks :( My battery can barely hold a charge but that's because I've waited so long between rides.

Here's my progress so far on the bridge. It's going to be made into a video, but I don't know how long that will take. I'm lazy, so possibly never.

Making programs, C# type stuff, I have a textbook I downloaded that I've been reading that is a pretty good learning tool.
The bridge looks great!! How far are you going to go in this recreation?

Enterprise Ncc - 1701 C#

I'm choosing the 1701-D for the holodeck alone. :lol
-
The holodeck has many problems. Not least - as I believe we have discussed - the fact that two people can see different things in the same space.
For example - Picard could be standing in a hotel room and Geordi or whoever could go "outside" and still be in the same holodeck.
-
Sure, it doesn't work, especially in the DS9 holosuites. But neither does warp travel, or replicators, or basically any of it, so I'm ok with that. :lol
-

Warp Speed has a foot in scientific fact though. Theoretically at least it's plausible. Replicators not so much but I can get on board with re-arranging molecules to turn matter from one form into another.
But the holodeck just cannot work in any way . The most it could do is function as a transporter in reverse. And create objects within the space that cannot exist outside the holodeck.
The holodeck basically exists to get the actors off the ship now and again. The same reason they invented the transporter. To save money on the shuttle sequences.
-
Oh I realize all of that, I'm just saying that it's all out of the realm of reality for now anyway. For all we know, there will be a way to make it work eventually. No idea how, but I'm sure many technologies seemed equally impossible at one point in time.

I don't get paid for the 3D Daleks (unfortunately). :lol This is my first payment for making lots of little icons.
Is £6 just for one sale, or is that over a certain period? At the moment it takes me a few days to make that much on Youtube. And now the Youtube Red earnings are pouring in too. $0.03 a day! Better make that two solid gold Pagani Zondas!

£6 is for September. Not sure how it works because I sold 5 albums in that month ... But i'll take it..

Now that's more my speed. What are you buying?
Not all specifically computer parts, but stuff related to my computer setup.
I've been wanting to get a new monitor for a while now, I'm looking at a 24" IPS monitor that's about $1200, really high end graphics monitor. I hate LCDs, so if I'm getting one, it's going to be a good one.
I also badly need a new computer chair because my current one is on life support. It's missing wheels, and it's all flaked off badly. I also want a new computer desk, a standing desk.
And one day I'll order that custom mechanical keyboard.

What's your beef with LCDs?
-
What's your beef with LCDs?
It's a flawed technology, and became standard long before they even came close to matching CRTs in any regard (and TN panels still aren't a viable replacement imo). Even now, the average consumer LCD is garbage, and they're completely unusable for even the most basic of graphics work. And the default gamma/brightness out of the box on them is so far off, and most people don't bother adjusting them, then bitch and moan when a website uses the colour white.
IPS monitors are the way to go, but then you've got the trade-off of decent colour and viewing angles often at the expense of refresh rate and input lag. It's always a compromise. The one I want is a beast of a graphics monitor that comes factory calibrated to be almost perfect (or you can use a calibrator to get it even better). Since this is the first time I've bought a monitor since 2003 to finally replace my CRT, I'm going to splash out and get one that isn't going to be a step backwards.
-
I'm not a fan of LCD either, but there's no choice anymore with computers. I have a plasma TV but even that technology is being abandoned in favour of LCD, so if/when it dies I doubt I'm going to be able to get another one. :(

I don't recall seeing a plasma advertised for years now (although I don't really pay attention). I've been waiting for over 5 years for OLED monitors, but that technology is taking it's sweet time. And my CRT's res is getting restrictive for my work, so I really need full HD.

I think Panasonic is the only major manufacturer that bothers (though it's been a while since I kept myself abreast of the situation). Even then, they were only reproducing the same 60" or so 1080p screens - and had no plans for manufacturing any at 4K, which is what I would want when I buy my next TV.
OLED sounds really good on paper but you're right about the amount of time it's taking. I don't think the price tag is going to be pretty to begin with regarding OLED, either.
-

Nope, it sure isn't, even for the tiny displays. At that price point, the average consumer probably isn't going to care about the difference in quality. Like many new technologies, I think patents have probably hurt the development and price (basically killed the SED display).
Oh well, for over a grand, hopefully this LCD will be adequate for now. :lol

What should the settings be adjusted to on an LCD?

Good morning
-
What should the settings be adjusted to on an LCD?
I don't know the settings for every monitor made. :lol But the majority of LCDs are too bright for a start. Most LCDs can do 250-300cd at full brightness, when it's recommended to run monitors somewhere around 120cd. And there should be plenty of sites and tools that help adjust a monitor's gamma, although imo it's kind of futile on a TN panel.

It's something i've wondered for ages....
Serious discussion - why *DO* people gravitate towards filthy humour ?
Why do comedians prefer to say " shit " instead of either " crap " or " poop " ?
Why do so many new comedians just go on stage and talk about "fucking" ?
I think it's partly because it doesn't require any wit or intelligence and any body could come up with ten minutes of dirty material littered with dirty words.

I figured the hardest bridge to design in all Star Trek had to be Enterprise NX-01
• It has to look futuristic compared to NOW
• But also it has to look WORSE than the original series Enterprise.

Yeah, I imagine that was a problem with all designing on that show. The network actually wanted the NX-01 to just be the Akira, which obviously the designers strongly objected to, so the NX-01 is kind of a compromise there to try and bring it back to pre-TOS.
But it's also hard to make something pre-TOS when it was a futuristic projection from the 1960s that now looks very dated in both look and predicted technology.

Hey Jay.
I couldn't get to sleep until about 9am this morning, then woke up around 1:30pm. Bleh.
-
lol
I went to bed at midnight last night and was up at 6. For work. On my day off.
And I should be asleep now for work tomorrow (It's 11pm)
but... meh
-
I think I still prefer my situation. At least I get to spend the day watching Doctor Who. :hat
-
I'm pretty happy with work at the moment. That new upper management dude we got is pretty much staying out of , my supervisor is gaining more responsibilities (which trickle down to me) and we are pretty much running things how we want them.. I'm basically #2 in command there and have actually been getting the respect I've been looking for that goes along with it... And I am allowed to actually make decisions which I couldn't make before. The only slight complaint i have is I wouldn't mind more money... But I just got a 10ish percent raise so I really gotta keep my mouth shut.
-
Sounds good. :tup Glad the new guy didn't turn out to be a dick.

Hey Jay. 9:30 pm and I can't keep my eyes open. Damn I'm old. Lol

I went to bed the earliest I have in ever last night. I fell asleep around 11:30pm. I managed to mostly sleep till 9:30am and catch up on sleep. Now I'm an early bird.

So Joe... you can't keep your eyes open at 9:30pm, but are up and at 'em by 6:30am? Sounds like you just need to shift your bedtime by a couple of hours to be 'normal'.
-
I blame work. I know you are in the same boat. Friday night and both Lisa and I were out on the couch. :lol
-
Totally different boat here. I was up until midnight catching up on Blacklist episodes I've missed due to travel. Getting sick too... yay me! I'm back on a plane 8am Monday morning. Yay me again! Fortunately, home for at least the rest of November after that.
-
Sometimes binge watching a great show keeps you up because your down right in. This season of the Blacklist is great!

Sorenson today from cutting all that wood. Food shopping then relaxing today.

Blob, good set up for the season. It laid the groundwork.
Chad, the cats were jumping on us so I got up.
My second, least favorite Star Trek movie is playing right now. Shatner should never be allowed to direct ever.

I actually like that movie, as bad as it is. :lol It's the closest the movies ever came to TOS (for better or worse) and it was fun. It is still one of my least favourite, but I still enjoy it.
-
4 was so good and I loved 6 so to me, 5 is such a letdown.
-
4 is one of my favourites (if not my favourite), and 6 is good, although I like it a little less these days due to Spock's character losing something as they made him too human. 5 is fun, it's mostly the shitty fizzle out ending that ruins it for me.
-
Yesterday 2, 3 & 4 were on. Today, 5 & 6. Not like I own them though. :lol
I still watch them when they are on TV.
-
2,3,4. Good combo. They showed some of the Trek movies when Into Darkness was coming out, can't remember which ones. I have a feeling that was just 2,3,4, and 11.
-
So the guy you dislike that will be doing the new Trek TV show does another show I've been watching, (Limitless) and it's very good. I haven't looked further into him though.
-
The new Trek will probably be a run of the mill police procedural except in space. I've decided that Americans shouldn't be allowed to do scifi anymore.
Speaking of which, here's my render of the day.

I barely even remember any Klingon women in 5. It's funny how when they do a Klingon female as a major character, they usually feel a need to water them down to half human to be more palatable to audiences. The chick Worf knocked up, Be'lanna. Ok, those are the only two examples, but that's enough. :lol

I thought Be'lanna was 1/2 human?

Yes but that's what Blob is insinuating.

Take out the 1/2 human comment, and this is what you get...

I just thought you meant their 'look' was watered down. Not their actual DNA. :lol

That makes more sense. And they have a history of watering down DNA too. Spock was half human, Troi was half human, Be'lanna was half human. I watch scifi for LESS human dammit! :neverusethis:

I know of 2 green skins chicks I can add to that list.
Only 2? I'd say Rachel Nichols from Star Trek XI, at least one of the Orion girls from the Enterprise episode Bound (there was one in particular I remember), and if it counts, Vina from The Cage. Oh, and maybe Catwoman from that TOS episode.
Do we move on to blue now? :lol

:lol
Mystique is first on my list.

I've got it looking slightly better now, although it's still far from done. :) (and I'm not going for photorealism anyway)
(https://www.blobvandam.com/link/enterprise_bridge003.jpg)
-
Oh I dunno - the second one looks more grainy. I thought the first one was pretty photorealistic :metal
-
I was a bit heavy on the grain to match the old film look of TOS. I'll dial back on that when I make the final video.
And it was a pain to try and match that overhead orange lighting, and it's still nowhere near right. But I doubt anyone will know the difference, so it's good enough.
-
Yeah the average Joe Schmo probably wouldn't know it was even a 3D computer render if you showed him.
-
Joe Schmoe will know in the final video, because it's going to be a parody cartoon with cartoony CG characters. I tried not to put too much effort into making the bridge accurate, but I can't help myself. If I'm going to build the Enterprise bridge, I'm going to do it right!
-
:hifive: Here's to perfectionism !!!
I was all ready to upload my new album to the distribution company and I heard a problem with it that NOBODY else would notice...
I couldn't upload it because I couldn't bear to hear it on iTunes or Spotify as an official release with a teeny tiny editing problem so I cancelled it...
..Opened the track - made the adjustment - exported the audio to the mastering software - re mastered the entire album - exported it to desktop
and re - uploaded it :lol
-
:hifive:
I remember for one video I re-exported my whole video (took over half an hour) because I think there was one frame that was messed up. Either way it was some background thing that looked fine and nobody would have noticed, but I knew it was there.
-
The Director of Skyfall and SPECTRE, Sam Mendes said he was still editing the film the weekend before it was released.
-
Hopefully a case of utilizing all of his available time for perfection rather than being rushed to get it done! Probably cutting a frame here and there to tighten it up.
The edit for Star Trek TMP was so rushed that the director had to bring the film with him on the plane to the premiere. And we know how that turned out. :lol

That's cool. A frame can make a difference, especially in an action sequence with a lot of fast cuts that needs to flow and maintain continuity.
-
Yes and the opening to the movie is a 4.5 minute tracking shot. It's quite something.
-
Awesome. That's the kind of thing I'd take notice of. I'll be seeing it this Thursday, which is when it opens here.
-
One of the nice things about Spectre is there is a lot more humour in this one than the last few.
Quantum Of Solace for example might as well have been Jason Bourne.
-
I don't think that there is that much difference from the newer Bond movies when it comes to tone. A few jokes but I've enjoyed them all to different degrees.
-
I really need to watch Goldeneye again. In my top 3 easily.
If Sam Mendes isn't doing another one - they should get Martin Campbell. He's successfully rebooted Bond TWICE now.
( Goldeneye & Casino Royale ).

I like humour. It seems as if Skyfall started to slowly reintroduce Bond elements after stripping back to basics for Casino Royale.
If that guy did Goldeneye and Casino Royale, damn just let him run the whole franchise. :biggrin:

Good morning guys! Sadly I'm leaving Allentown today, with it's beautiful weather.
It was not too bad on Saturday so I went for one last ride. Sunday I had to drive back to my Dad's in the rain ( thankfully it stopped for my entire journey :hefdaddy ) and I drove slowly as there were
puddles everywhere and leaves covering the ground. . .
I think i'm done riding til the weather improves in about March.

Nice Pics Blobbo ! :blob:
Pretty funny how Enterprise is supposed to be a Space Cruise Liner 300 years in the future and The Captain's Chair is essentially a wooden box with some cushions on :lol

Blob, looking cool!

It's almost as if it wasn't built in the future at all! :neverusethis:
All of the chairs are actually normal chairs you could buy at the time, modified to look different. The captain's chair was a regular armchair with a wooden frame built around it with some buttons and stuff. The other chairs were Burke model 115 chairs, painted blue with some custom cushioned bits. There weren't as many options for making stuff back then, clearly.

I love the JJ Abrams Enterprise Bridge. At least it looks like it's in the future - not in some kids basement.

It looks like an Apple store, and I don't like the viewscreen being an actual window. It's huge and has no personality, and isn't at all memorable. It pisses all over pretty much every iconic element of the original bridge, then throws in a bunch of price scanners and joysticks for good measure. And of course lens flares.
-

No I didn't have the time, I was only here for the weekend and I drove with my gf to Philly to see Bill Burr (I later learned he was in Allentown ::) and have some cheesesteaks. I ate a Pats cheesesteak followed by a Geno's cheesesteak and then contemplated my life decisions.
I do play on hitting Nick up in December when I'm here for longer.

Or perhaps they just have an opinion you don't agree with.
I mostly like the exterior of the ship (aside from the proportions, which are too front heavy), but the interior is so sterile and generic. It could really be any modern scifi spaceship / movie.
-
" It looks like an Apple Store "
Ergo - I don't like Apple products, so I also hate their shops and anything that reminds me of their shops!!!! :angry:
Would you like it if it looked like a Windows PC shop ? :splode:
Which other "modern sci-fi ship" does the interior look like ? Granted I don't watch much other sci fi...
I like the outside too despite the obvious scale issues which drive me mad - the hangar is clearly way too big to fit in there :lol !!!
Most people said the nacelles are too bulbous. I like them - although they're slightly too close together for my liking.
I'm hoping that during Beyond - or at the end - there's a new Enterprise - closer in design to the Constitution II class.
-
" It looks like an Apple Store "

Er no, ergo it looks like an Apple store, all shiny and white and brightly lit with lots of screens and very present day. Is there even a such thing as a Windows PC store? That's just called a store, since Windows isn't fixed to a particular brand of computer.
-
I was only joking with that one hence the smiley :p
If I could choose any Enterprise to live on - It would have to be the Galaxy Class.
-
This is easily the best looking :

I was only joking with that one hence the smiley :p
BUT IT WASN'T THE JOKING SMILEY! IT WAS A SERIOUS MAD SMILEY! DAMMIT I NEED CONTEXT!
Galaxy class would have to win. It's the first Enterprise to have a holodeck, and the Enterprise E didn't seem as spacious or designed for passengers as much. And the Defiant and Voyager were both much more cramped.
The Enterprise refit is a beautiful ship. Not sure what my favourite Enterprise is, but that's up there.
-
Easily Galaxy Class for roominess, luxuriousness and the medical bay seems to be able to cure almost anything. I'm sure Beverly could cure my tinnitus and whatever else.
And of course holodeck and ten forward to hang out.
Actually ten Forward would be f---ing amazing if the ship was at warp. Just standing by the windows looking out.
-
Holodeck whores. That is all.

Last winter I bought 3 zip-up sweatshirts from Costco. I think they were like $18 each. I got a letter in the mail from Costco over the weekend informing me that those sweatshirts had a different ratio of fabrics than the tag stated. They said that they were sorry for the false advertising and gave me a prepaid $20 card for each sweatshirt I purchased :metal :metal
I love companies that give a damn.

You'd see a bright white light in front of you and nothing else of note. Near light speed travel or warp drive travel would both look pretty boring due to relativity and color shifting. It would be a cool thing to see once, and then every other time you travel, it would look the same. The cool stuff would be when the ship is in sub relativistic speeds.

Obviously I meant if it appeared as it does on the show.

It took me a bit to get into it, but now I've seen every episode. Star Trek varies so much that it also depends on what you've seen. Aside from TOS, every Trek series' weakest seasons are the earliest couple, which makes it hard if you watch them in order.
I'm very happy with how this lighting is coming along now. I'm not even trying to stick exactly to the lighting on the show, since it varied so much anyway, I have my own look in mind.

I see what you mean Blob. The first few episodes I watched were dreadfully slow. I preferred the episodes with Picard over Kirk.
The original series is very dated now, and there's a lot of cheesy stuff, although there are some genuinely great episodes in there too. I prefer TNG overall, but the first two seasons of the show were overall terrible. It continued to improve greatly after that. Since there's not a lot of serialization in those series, you'd be better off checking out some of the most liked episodes first, if you were so inclined.

Nothing like browsing DTF to put you in a good mood in the morning.

It's interesting how in both Star Wars and Star Trek - the 2nd film is regarded the best and the 5th film is regarded the worst
2nd
Wrath of Khan
Empire Strikes Back
5th
The Final Frontier
Attack Of The Clones
And then Episode III is so bad it's the revenge of the 5th :neverusethis:
inb4 and the prequels are the shittest of them all !
-
I'd say Ep 1 is regarded lower than Ep 2.
It is interesting that the second is considered the best in both cases (and that one isn't arguable in either case), since sequels are often considered weaker.
-
I think TPM at least has the Podrace which is an entertaining set piece.
AOTC has nothing. It has that awful romance sub plot and not much else.
-
The podrace wasn't that interesting, and kid Anakin accidentally saving the day is so much worse than anything in AOTC. And AOTC has Christopher Lee.
-
I think i've failed to watch Episode II on numerous occasions :biggrin:
It was on TV one day and I found it incredibly boring and hard to follow.
I don't think we could add anything that hasn't been said in the Red Letter Media reviews.
-
I don't know or care what some internet review says. But I find Ep 1 literally unwatchable. It brings me physical pain every time that kid is on screen.
But let's just agree that all the prequels are garbage, and are only remembered or liked because they're called Star Wars.
-
Yes.
If The Phantom Menace was a brand new Sci-Fi . It wouldnt have made $1bn and it definitely wouldn't have gotten a sequel.
-
Just tried to watch a live version of " Indiscipline " by King Crimson.
:lol didn't last very long.
-
Judging by the significantly lower takings of AOTC, I think I can say a lot of the money TPM made came from being the first new Star Wars since 1983.
Even though I'm not really a Star Wars fan, the new movie looks like it's going to be genuinely good.
And I've got my ticket to see Spectre tomorrow night.
-
Force Awakens does look great.
I can't wait to see hoe much you hated Spectre :tup
-
:lol I've enjoyed all of the Daniel Craig Bond movies at the cinema, even QoS. Skyfall was my favourite of all the Craig movies, so I have no doubt I'll enjoy Spectre similarly. I judge much more leniently with Bond films than I do with scifi. :biggrin:
-
I loved Spectre. At no point did any of it's 140 mins drag or I checked my watch.
Naturally there's the usual " omg worst film ever made " crowd. But fuck em.
-
Eh, I don't go into a Bond movie expecting an iron clad plot and realism. As long as it's Bondish, I'll probably be more than happy. That style isn't for everyone, but there are plenty of other movies for that.
-
Apart from Skyfall - it's probably the most "Bond" of the last 4.
And they've put jokes back in too. Which were sorely lacking in the last couple of films.
-
I've enjoyed the 1st 3 Craig movies. Got to find time to go see Spectre.

I'm not a vampire. I'm just only awake at night and hate sunlight and have pale skin and sharp teeth and don't get many visitors and drink blood so I'm definitely not a vampire. Nope.

I would never do that because
1) I'm allergic to photons, and
2) Taking a photo/video with the sunlight behind you is the worst thing you can do for autobalance, and is a pet peeve of mine to see. LEARN HOW LIGHT WORKS IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE A CAMERA, IDIOTS.

I wouldn't even care. I just want to see the sun on you. blurry face or not!

I wouldn't even care. I just want to see the sun on you. blurry face or not!
It wouldn't make it blurry, it would make it dark due to the dynamic range difference. :blob:

That's around 9pm for me, on my recliner. :lol
-
The movie started after 9:30pm, so that wouldn't have been a good idea for me. It finished after midnight.
-
Morning guys!
-
Morning Reaper.
-
Hey hey hey
-
Howdy Hef and Reap!
-
How goes it?
-
Busy. We are over our counts and it's the busy season as you can expect. Still trying to hire people and get rid of temps. Temps don't care at all.
-
Doing much less hours at work now which is ok for now I guess.
a) I get a lot more time off - which is never a bad thing.
b) the council say they will review my wages next week and adjust my welfare accordingly, so I should be ok money wise after that.
I'm trying to find another job in the side though as work is really quiet at the moment and if we don't get customers then they can't afford the staff !

Hey guys
-
Morning Prog Snob. What's up?
-
Not too much. I'm glad it's Friday. I was off the last two days also, so it's a nice short week. What are you up to?
-
I'm making a Captain Kirk to go along with my Star Trek bridge. I'm not good at making and animating characters, so I'm trying to come up with something simple.

You did a good job of animating the WDADU cover guy. Can't you just expand on that?

For what I need to do here, no. That was a really cheap and nasty trick that was very limited in what I could do with it, which is why all it did was wiggle slightly. :lol
This requires a full character for moving and talking etc. I also want something stylized and cartoony, and not just a moving photo.

That would be the most boring porn ever.
Morning.

That would be the most logical porn ever.
FTFY
Morning king!
-
that was my next line. :lol
Morning!
-
To be serious though, I wouldn't watch Vulcan porn. The porn I watch is often most illogical. And they're Asians rather than Vulcans. :blob:
-
I've watched Na'vi porn in 3D. It was pretty cool.

I can't say I'm turned on by smurf cat porn.

You're right. Asians are a most logical pornographic choice! Unlike blue cartoon cats.

I've watched Na'vi porn in 3D. It was pretty cool.

Making Captain Kirk. You?

Ooooohhhhh!
Sounds awesome! Can wait to see!

You'll see it when it's looking not shit, so possibly never. :lol
-
:lol
Well, not to fluff your pillow but none of your art is shit.
-
That's because you only see my stuff when it's done, at it's least shit. You don't get to see the shittiest of my shit!

Hey yo.

HEY JINGLE

What's the good word peeps?
I'm finally home for at least a couple of weeks. Brutal travel schedule lately. At one point during this stretch, I saw my kids for a whopping 6 hours over a 2-week period. Gonna chill most of this weekend, get caught up on some TV shows, workout a bit, do some chores, and drive the new vehicle a bit - since I picked it up, it's spent more time at the airport parking garage than anywhere else. :lol :-\
-
Chad! That's tough. Feels so good to sit at home with family.
Blob, you're shitting too much.
-
Blob, you're shitting too much.
How dare you try to tell me the appropriate amount of shit.
-
Sometimes you can't control shit.
Literally.
-
Too much information, buddy.
-
Morning, guys. Shit taken, ready to start the day.
-
See. Hef got his shit done.
-
Normally not a problem for me.
-
The amount of shit in this thread is astonishing.

:theastonishing:

Do not use those two words together Brent. Not before the release. :lol

Yeah, there will be plenty of time after the release to do that. :P

Okay......the amount of shit produced............oops. Shit and production - better leave that alone too until after the album is released. ;D

You are so shitty.

Shiiiiiiit.

Morning folks, it seems like the weather will be reasonable today.

And I've got to clean this he'll hole of a house. Company coming tonight.

Yup. Lol. I need to look before sending dammit.
-
I have company at the house as well, my girlfriends sister, and the place is already a mess :/

Were just going to hide the clutter.

Hey Friends and Hef...
Got my birthday present from my bro today - Final Fantasy X & X2 HD for PS4... :) :)
Playing it now.
-
Sweet!
When is your birthday Kotow? Is it today?
I am day drunk thanks to my guests at the hotel, have to sober up before I drive home.

Happy Belated Birthday!

:hug: I had an awesome meal with the family at the local Indian Restaurant.
Whenever I go somewhere new - i always see if there's any kind of "mixed grill" option to have a bit of everything. It did not disappoint.

Hey Blob..................this album was just posted in the best of 2015 thread (another list where I haven't heard of anyone in it):
Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't go Outside
So are you touring Australia or do we have to come to you? :)

Oh hai guise

Neither. I hired a proxy to tour in my place. Because if you'd listened to track 2, "I Don't Like People", you'd discover that I also don't like people.

It's like you wrote the title Blob. :lol
Morning.

I think that's the joke, king. :P
Morning!

Morning1

Morning Hef. Food shopping and then my godson's birthday party then Pats vs Giants.
-
Morning1
I guess King is morning2? I'll be morning3.
Man, so much for trying to take it easy! I just mapped out my day, and it's packed. Workouts, chores, helping jingle.son with a science test and walking the dogs. Weather is about as warm as it's gonna get until April - 13oC (that's 55F for my US bro's).
-
Just about what it will be here as well.
I need coffee. Wife is sleeping. Guess I should make it.
-
Bon Apres-midi mon amies :D :D
Ca va ?
Je travaille pour trois heures seulement aujourd'hui. C'est bien.
Et demain - je dormir :biggrin:
Actually i worked 16 hours this week so it's not too bad. Work is pretty quiet at the moment. But my housing gets looked at this week and hopefully adjusted.
-
Morning guys!
Girlfriend and her sister want to go shopping but I don't really care to go however they really want me to tag along . . . how can I get out of this?
-
boom got out of it. Time for a burger then some falllout .
-
Morning!
-
Starting at 9:00 today, I have six straight hours of in-room meetings. Shoot me.
-
Morning Reaper.
-
Started at 6 am. Won't get out until 6am. Yuck.
-
A 24-hour shift? That's brutal.
Morning, guys.

Oops. Pm. Still a long day though.
-
Good grief.
-
Ugh.
-
Hey guys
-
Hey yo! 'sup.
-
What's up, Chad?
-
Work shit. Procrastination. Gonna be home for at least 2-3 weeks, so that's kinda nice after a lot of travel in October. Doin my best to stick to my workout schedule, but it was tough with travel. Got some shit for jingle.son school tonight too.
You?

I'm just killing time at work until I leave at 4. I don't have the spawn tonight, so once I get home I'll probably just decompose on the couch.

I like it. Lol

Anyone ever play Final Fantasy 10 ?
I got it in HD now for PS4. Really liking it and Blitzball is great fun - I earned the Jecht Shot so I just have to get near the goal and I score :biggrin:.
Plus the more games you win - the harder you are to beat so i'll be unbeatable soon :)
-
I could never get into any of the final fantasy games. :(
-
I love VII & X
Blitzball is awesome :)
-
7 seems to be the go to, maybe one day I'll get around to trying it out.

Good evening peeps.

I live my life in the 4th dimension. And also in the fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man.

I read somewhere that scientists think that in order for the universe to function - there needs to be 17 dimensions.
:o I can get my head round 5 dimensions - the 5th dimension being like the tesseract scene from Interstellar - whereby you can see everything happening at once and go back and forth.
But beyond that ?

The amount of booze I get as gifts from the guests is nuts. I got three cases of beer and three bottles of rum today from guests that are leaving.

I assume they know you drink then ? Would be a crappy gift if you were straight edge or a recovering alcoholic or something... :p

Social media has reached new levels of loony since the Paris attacks. This country couldn't possibly be more divided.

Me too. Flabby bacon grosses me out.

I don't want my bacon too flabby or too crispy.

Morning king!
Still sweating here.

Finally getting a cold front!!! I'm so excited for some cold weather

I'm jelly.

Must be a standard part of getting older. By process of extrapolation, I figure I'm only a couple of years off sitting on my front porch yelling at kids about their clothing, and sending angry letters to the newspaper about things that offend me.
-
I feel like as I get older I get less and less tolerant of everything.
I remember being younger and wondering why my parents were always fervently stuck in their ways, no matter how irrational or inexplicable. Now I have that hindsight bias and realize why.

Morning king!
You need an AC bad!
Still sweating here.
-
Never gonna happen, king. :( Not for a while anyway
-
Get a cheap 5000 btu ac. Their only $100. Worth every penny.

It's the running cost and the general parental bitching that is the problem, not the price of the unit.
-
It's about 30 to 40 more a month unless you by an energy saver. Again totally worth the money.
-
Of course it's worth the money. Money I do not have.
-
Start whoring yourself out. Digital whoring of course.
-
I'm trying. Damn ADHD stops me being able to do shit.
I'll just accept my uselessness and spend all day watching scifi.
-
Guys, guys, guys, check this out. I forgot to post about it last night.
king's bad spelling has risen to new heights. He sent me a tweet last night.
Twitter asked me if I would like to translate it from Swedish. I shit you not.
Carry on.

That's when I put the works stringing together as a hash tag suckas! :lol
It was #itsonlikedonkeykong

More accurately, it was #it'sonlikedonkeykong. I think the apostrophe threw twitter off balance.
BTW, just now I hit the button to translate from Swedish. The result?
"Could not translate."
No shit.

You guys can translate Kinginesse.

Late start to the morning gents? Gonna be a wild weekend here. Mrs.jingle has been in a foul mood the last couple of days, and things did not start well this morning. Ah, whatareyagonnado?
Christmas decorating time - jingle.son and I do all the hard labour of bringing everything out of the crawl-space; while the girls to all the actual decorating of the house. Also, gonna finally see Spectre tonight with jingle.son. Will try to squeeze a workout in there somehow too. Maybe get on the bike in a few minutes while everyone is still asleep.

Typically uneventful day/weekend for me.

Hey gang. When I updated my iOS - my audio interface was no longer compatible.
While I wait for them to release an update - i've decided to write an electronic ONLY album :)
-
You record on an iThing? Don't you have a real setup?
-
iMacs are computers too :)
-
You said iOS though, so I was thinking the mobile OS. Macs are OSX aren't they? Recording on a Mac is fine.
-

Yes I probably should have said OSX. :)
-
Glad we got that sorted! So what's up?
-
Started a new album of Logic sounds only. What those silly yanks would call EDM but not really.
It's a lot harder but easy at the same time. No live instruments to record but I can only write by putting in MIDI notes so solos and stuff are a pain :lol
But after 11 or so releases I want to do something a bit "for me" and make something a bit more arty and experimental.
EDIT
https://i.imgur.com/2C2UmiK.jpg
Here's the artwork which may or may not change.
-
You don't have a MIDI keyboard of any kind? You could probably pick up a small one really cheap just for note entry. Makes things a lot easier to be able to play around live and come up with parts too.
-

I did but that doesn't work either ! :lol
It didn't before though which is fine.
-
Damn. I used to write all of my music by manually inputting the notes, which worked just fine, but I find it helps when coming up with chords and melodies to be able to just mess around live. I do all of my music that way now. I find it faster and more organic.
Plus it almost makes me feel like a legit musician. :neverusethis:
-
I couldn't imagine you playing live. :biggrin:
But I know you meant " in real time". :)
-
I can play ok on keyboard, but I've never been great. Never had any lessons or anything, but I've always had a keyboard to mess around on. When you're recording one layer at a time and can quantize and edit it later, you don't need to be great, it's just a good start for getting the notes in there. :tup
-
Morning, gents.
-
Good morning!! What a beautiful morning this morning, I'm not sweating my ass off like I usually am.
-
Howdy.
-
Panthers looking good.
But I'm a little wary of the Thanksgiving game in Dallas. Not that I'm scared of Dallas, but with a short-week Thursday game, the home team always has a demonstrable advantage.
We'll see what happens.
-
Yup. 3 days and travel is so tough for a road team. Also Dallas is fighting for it's life right now. Panthers D is so good though which will be the equalizer I think.
-
Yep.

I've got the Line6 UX1 Audio Interface. I wouldn't mind the next one up which comes with a couple of octaves built in.
And I never use the on board guitar amps. They are all digital and weak. I use my Blackstar 100 watt valve head for guitar and bass :biggrin:.
