Known elsewhere as "Duck, Duck, Goose."

If y'all could see what Usenet was like, you'd think that social media had been around since the '80s. It predated http but the interactions were pretty much the same, right down to the flame wars. Pretty telling since the majority of people with access to it had connections to military...

A few weeks back I went through the renewal process as well. Had my picture taken for it at a local drug store and was worried that the picture wouldn't be accepted, because it seemed like the cashier who took it had never used the camera before. Fortunately, the setup seemed to have been good...

"It's still good!"

Cool. All that I've ever done is chainmail for cats.

The Facebook algorithm just plain sucks. I just found out today, 5 days after the fact, that a friend was hospitalized and placed in an induced coma due to an issue that came up while waiting for a scheduled surgery. Sometimes I won't see posts from friends for a couple of weeks.

Craig has positively gushed about playing Benoit Blanc in a way that he never did about Bond, though he has become my favourite Bond.

Theatre release first.

I once had a high priority call about something "not working" on the fourth floor, of a 3 story building.

When I had been in the job for about 6 months, I had a received a work order from an engineering prof that stated every time he turned on his computer, his printer would spit out a page with a single character on it. I had a look and there was nothing that I could do. It was an issue with Win98...

The ones that get downright abusive over their demands are the worst. I fully expect this to get escalated all the way to my CIO because some profs think that a PhD makes them God and simply don't accept "No."

No, Professor, I can't help you with your esoteric issue with <Microsoft Product for Web>. It works correctly in the actual application. The notes for <Web Application> indicate that not all functions work in it. You getting petulant about it doesn't change the fact that I am not Microsoft.

I also took a bunch of pictures that I donated to the production, some of which will likely make it into the Dorkinomicon. Unfortunately while I was "ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille", I missed out on getting more shots of cast members in costume. It was a long day and they were understandably...

Might I suggest avoiding family Thanksgiving Dinner? It helps minimize the pressure.
