Once, upon a time…
Just curious Kenny…when was the last time you WERE a part of the working world?
Hi everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am retiring permentantly from the working world. You see, last night I won big! I forget the exact numbers that were displayed on those big balls, but they matched my numbers. It was so great to finally be able to yell “BINGO!” and mean it. My prize was a DVD of SpaceBalls. I will never have to work again! Miaou.
Feature Up!
Also, I’d like to take a moment to recognize all the hard work Kenny and Graeme are doing to facilitate the move over to SQL-based pages. I’ve seen some of the prototyping, and you’ll be in for a few nice surprises.
I’ve been working a lot lately, and when I haven’t been working, I’ve been sleeping or otherwise busy, so I haven’t been able to lend my SQL expertise to the project just yet; however, I have been providing my input on some things along the way, and things look great so far.
I don’t know if Graeme wants you guys seeing this, but he made a cute image bestowing Kenny the honor of Employee of the Year for his work on the news/feature posters and now this new SQL stuff. It’s not official yet, but I’ll let you in on the secret:
CrossedReality (4:45:23 AM): I’m a freak of nature.
When a catastrophic physical drive failure results in 37GB of carefully distilled data (accumulated over 10 years) to be reduced to a partition/FAT table-less mess, some of us would break down and cry.
For some reason, I am 1/4 saddened, and 3/4 fascinated. For I am now a data archaeologist; digging through the vast and extensive ruins of the badlands, combing for any semblance of what was once a goldmine of stored nostalgia and repository of pack-rat efficiency.
Originally, I was devastated because all my creative work (features/images/poetry) have been scattered to bits, but I see it now as a vast storehouse of surprisingly random inspiration. Using my trusty Ontrack EasyRecovery, I have dozens of directories of randomly corrupted files related only by extension.
Take a blender to 37GB of data, and what do you get? I hope something interesting!
Well, I just tried to post a feature, but it looks like we have a little bug that replaced the little bug we fixed yesterday. It’ll be up later, I suppose. It’s funny though!
Yes, this is real.
