Sunday Morning Open Thread
Had an early start on work today. Went in a couple hours early and actually had a pretty good day. Tonight and last night I’ve been doing some after shopping. Why? I have a bunch of stuff falling a part and it’s time to get rid of my worn out pants, shirts, and other things. I still need to do some replacement sneaker shopping too.
Need to get to bed earlier tonight, got an earlier workday to prepare for (for the rest of the week actually). Already have my work stuff laid out for me. Didn’t have much time to prepare a lunch, but I think I can wing it.
“Hey you lookin fresh! Hit me up on facebook!”
That was the epic pickup line of the evening. This highschooler looking dude said that. I think he was a highschooler anyway. I think I have more hair on my body than he does…
If you have to use facebook to impress people you seriously have issues…
Early Morning Open Thread
Lovely day yesterday, sun was out so I whipped off a quick shave and painted my nails red n blue. Now onto something that’s actually interesting. Our cat Stewie went on an adventure apparently… Our neighbor and his dog got into his truck and took off. The dog kept growling and the guy kept telling him to shutup. He finally pulled over and noticed that our cat Stewie was inside the truck enjoying the ride… So he gets Stewie and puts him inside the truck with him (leaving the dog in the 4×4) and drives back. Opens up the window, Stewie jumps off his shoulder and out the window… What a crazy cat.
Proven. I am suspicious.
Those who read my blog know that I’m not a big fan of social media (facebook, twitter etc). I’ve always said that I have a blog and that’s good enough for me, but apparently not for everyone else…
Yes, if you don’t have a facebook you are instantly suspicious. I mean, for all you know I could be a mass murderer infant rapist who steals marshmallows and hand grenades. All because I don’t have a facebook.
“You can’t get away from it. It’s everything. It’s everywhere,” she told the Washington Post. “The moment we’re in now is about trying to deal with all this technology rather than rejecting it, because obviously we can’t reject it entirely.”
Well, you can, but it might lead to your being rejected down the line too.
I’m sorry. How is not being a part of facebook rejecting technology? All facebook is for people is a networked blog with groups and games. So if you leave facebook or don’t participate at all that is not abandoning technology. That’s abandoning facebook. Facebook is not technology. It RUNS or can be ACCESSED on technology… Anyone who suggests otherwise is a fucking moron.
I have a blog, I have a webforum, I have multiple websites, I have a Youtube, Steam and I even have an XFire! I also have that thing called email. Which one of my relatives doesn’t care for because unlike the awesomeness that is facebook, you don’t see a picture next to a name… I sincerely doubt I need a facebook…
Don’t even begin to tell me that I’m running from technology. I think I’m further into it than most facebook users.
Onto the rest of my weekend.
Yesterday another Geriatric Tuesday passed. It was full of mean elderly folk who threw tantrums (knocking things over if they didn’t get what they wanted as of 5 seconds before asking) and people who are unaware of their surroundings (elderly and young). I had one old lady ram my ass with her cart, then demanded yogurt. She got short with me when I told her I wasn’t sure (she was asking me something that I didn’t know, wasn’t my department) so I offered to help her find someone from that department and she just stamped off. I followed anyway just to see if there was anyone around. One of my co workers was stocking something and she asked her, he didn’t know either but offered the same thing that I did. THIS time she was polite (probably because he was a young guy but I digress).
Then there was this one dude that comes in from time to time. He pushes his little cart like he’s going to die tomorrow, and almost hits customers whenever he’s in the store. I had to help him find cookies that he said we didn’t have because he was too busy tweaking out to stop and READ THE FUCKING DISPLAY OF THEM.
If I ever get like that in my old age I hope someone has the right mind to drag me out into the street and beat me with a sack of hammers.
Early Morning Open Thread
To celebrate keeping the mumble server up, I decided to dedicate the entire day to goofing off and playing a combo of TF2 and Serious Sam. I even got to ban an asshat from the TF2 server! He just kept talking random nonsense. I didn’t mind that. Then he started banging against me and spouting even more nonsense. I told him I didn’t speak dumbass and he told me he didn’t speak 12 year old… I threatened to ban him, he said he didn’t give a shit. So I kicked him. He came back sarcastically begging not to ban him from THIS particular server, because there are no other servers as awesome as this one, and that there are sooo few bots on it and then while he was spouting all of that drivel I pressed the ban button. You can find his profile here.
He has 12 games! One for each year he’s been alive!!!
VICTORY!
Solved a problem I’ve been having with the murmur voice chat server. It kept shutting off every two hours (turns out it was my webhost for reasons I can’t explain). I’ve been tinkering with scripts and even wrote one up in vi. Had problems making it into a cron job due to some stupid reason. I figured it out but it took being a total smartass to try it. Now if the server shuts off it will auto restart in about a minute or less. If it detects that it’s already running it will terminate the process and come back one minute later.
Good, now I can go to work or out for a walk and not have to worry about the server comitting sepuku.
Early Morning Open Thread
Got through another hard night of work. Brought home some more special chicken sausages (bacon and pineapple), haven’t tried them yet. But I have one prepped to bring to lunch later today.

Took San out for some Thai cuisine tonight. She never had any before, so she got to try some Pad Thai, surprisingly she liked it! Next week we’ll be making plans to check out the local sushi bar.
On the way home we stopped in at our favorite bar for a quick cocktail, both of us got carded… lol
Good times!
