Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 As long as you don't say penis. Ok, so I can't tell you all that it has spread to my penis? Why not? Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 You're that flexible? Nope. Playin' footsies and well, you know, one thing led to another, which led to another and then something else after that ... Quote

ubkev Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Sometimes that's just how you wear socks. I've seen them do the sock thing and I've also seen them at Woodstock '99,where Flea just decided to do half the show naked. Quote
Taro T Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 I remember in junior high we had to step on this pedal-thingamajig on our way into the shower. It dispensed some liquid that was supposed to prevent athlete's foot. I shudder to think what it was, in the stone ages of 1979 1879 . FTFY :p Quote

MattPie Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 I got two words for ya, Backup Yershit. A wise man once told me that. It's still true today. Thor, Jesus, and the Bhudda are all working in the school computer lab on a project. Suddenly, everything goes dark for a few minutes. When the power comes back on, the server is back but all the files are missing. Thor starts looking at his hammer, then his computer, then his hammer again. The Bhudda gets uncharacteristically red-faced, mumbles something about "the right effort, and desire is the root of suffering, but Jesus H. Christ I'm pissed". Jesus is just sitting and ambivalently looking at his screen. Thor asks, "how can you not be mad, Jesus?". Jesus holds up a USB stick and says, "Jesus Saves". Quote

A painful lesson learned Quote
MattPie Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Really though. A painful lesson learned I think you're doing computer-related stuff, and one of the best things I can recommend is to get used to using a code versioning tool and back up the repo regularly. It makes it a lot easier to figure out what you did to break you code. Even for non-code things, it's a better way to save copies of documents than save as.. and file_1.doc, file_2.doc, etc. I don't have a recommendation for a particular tool (since no one uses CVS any more and Subversion is kinda hard to run on your own), but git/github probably is worth learning since you'll probably see it later. I'd do it for all my personal files (recipts, taxes, etc.) if I wasn't lazy and didn't have to worry about my wife getting to stuff (and privacy issues). Edited February 12, 2016 by MattPie Quote

MattPie Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 Actually just learning github in my one class :D I had it on a remote server because it was written in a language I didn't have the compiler for Sucks. Another recommendation is (if the remote system is Linux) get comfortable with a Windows (I assume your personal system is Windows) version of the tool rsync. Rsync will log into a remote system and synchronize your files on that system with your local system (or vice versa). (an alternative is WinSCP, which has file mirroring functions too). That way you can work locally and sync to the server, or keep a copy of the stuff on the server local. Github is a better solution, but rsync is easier to learn, all you really need is to learn a command or two and you're off. I know these are tough lessons now, but learn from every mistake. There's probably some pretty way to do it WIndows Server to Windows Client, but I don't know what it is. The rsync tool you find (grsync rings a bell) should be able to sync two directories, so you could probably sync local and a Windows share. Quote
Eleven Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 So my mother got a gag gift for me this Christmas: A Lego Tower of Pisa. My father did not escape her humor; he got a Lego Eiffel. There comes a time in a man's life when he wants to get back to simple things; to building a 345-piece vertical puzzle that has parts smaller than a quarter of his smallest fingernail. That time comes when it is 2 degrees F outside and one doesn't want to go anywhere except into his own liquor cabinet. I have built the Lego Tower of Pisa. It is not magnificent. But it was fun, and it was awesome. (I did end up going out for dinner. Owed a Jets (football) fan on a bet on overall record last season. At least I had lobster, which, also, was awesome.) Still, I am proud of my Lego skills at this age. Quote

SwampD Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 Just realized that someone put my wife's two albums (CDs, joints,…) on Spotify. We made these another lifetime ago. I can't believe I was a part of something so wonderful. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0pOhKpwkbHjWX0EDbegX2I Start from the start. Listen to Daytrip first, in order. The album arc matters. Quote
josie Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 RIT closed, my work closed- I get to work in my pj's and hit the gym later. It's a good day. Quote

josie Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Same here :beer: Except, no gym and pj's, just beer and other homework I skipped the gym and shoveled out my half of the apartment pod instead. I saw a neighbor twist her ankle on the hidden uneven cement stoops. Decided that the 3 maintenance guys for the whole complex would probably not get there tonight and did it myself. Took me 45 minutes to clean a path to all the doors in our little pod, to the mailboxes, and then down to the parking lot. Average about 10 inches deep, a foot in the drifts. My car is fully encased... Plow came through and there's about 5 feet of snow around the back. Going out tonight after I eat some dinner to try to clean it out, maybe get out to meet with my independent study student by RIT. Meanwhile, downtown's an utter nightmare apparently...

Weave Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 About 11:30 we were told to go home. Sure. AFTER the plows working the lot put a 3' pile in front and behind everyone's car. :doh: Took a good 15 minutes and the help of a co-worker to get out, but I did. And on the way home.......... I received a message that I have an interview scheduled. Now THAT's awesome. Would be for a position that finally gets me back to where I was almost 4 yrs ago. *crosses fingers* And other things that are awesome.... a college aged son home from school that got started on the driveway clearing before I got home. :wub: Quote
