    • Happens. Deal.ArmandoEstrada
    • Good God, MT still exists? I thought they were bought-out by some bastard brand like GoDaddy or such?detritus
    • they were, detritus... but still retain their name (and people). Pockets... went through this 3 weeks ago... not much you can do but sit back and ride it out.PonyBoy
    • integrate cloudflare (MT supports it with every tier)plash
    • last week my grid was down for 3 days, and the new grid rollout still won't let me install WP with its tool i have to do it manuallyGuyFawkes
    • don't install WP with a tool - it takes 2 minutesfadein11
    • it does, but with the tool it takes only 1:59

    did omg/yurimorazal finally get a job or sum?

    • They're quite obviously three very different people. Unless it's one genius with exquisite and calculated differences in communication styleset
    • In which case respect. But that I doubt very much.set
    • same dude, it's all about his timing.moldero
    • There's no wayset
    • Maybe orazal is omg, I don't know, but not Yurimon too..set
    • I found the omgyurimorazal crew on the Drexel University campus today.

    • I'm with set here. Orazal had way more intellect than yuri or omg.uan
    • someone with intellect would occupy their time with something else rather than just trollingmoldero
    • this site isn't as big and popular as we all think it is, we have 1 troll.moldero
    • moderator would know though by looking at the IP thing, if omg is using a proxy, the other accounts would be aswellmoldero
    • omg slipped up a few times, we know he's from NYC, like yuri, and yuri fucked up BIG TIME, we know exactly who he is and where he livesmoldero
    • im not mentioning real names though, look at the history on his profile, its easy to find.moldero
    • i membah' the slippening.renderedred
    • and think about this, EVERY TIME any of those profiles got flustered, we got bombarded that day with those spammy profiles, like clock work,moldero
    • ex: like last week with omg in the politics threadmoldero
    • I thought omg was robotron3k! Ftw!robotron3k

    doesn't it seem silly that there is a USA flag on the moon? i mean.. shouldn't the flag be a picture of the Earth.. blue and green like what it looks like from space.. with an arrow pointing towards Earth? maybe leave some beautiful crystals or something around bottom of flag. i mean if an alien ship landed on the moon, wouldn't that make more sense to understand than a nation's flag?

    • lol at alien ship landing on the moon. first of all there is a German flag on the other side and second alien ships always land on Earth, everybody knows that.sted
    • Flags: The nations of the United States, The Soviet Union, Japan, China, and India. There is also a flag representing the European Space AgencyPonyBoy
    • there should be a moon flag or a pirate flag.oey
    • i don't think the flag is for aliens. it's for cock-waving at other nationsscarabin_net

    I already wrote about this product design company for whom I'm making the web page layout in Illustrator.

    I'm actually enjoying Illustrator very much for this. And then using InDesign to organize a PDF with comments, behavior and navigation explained.

    Had the second meeting today and client was already very happy with the direction, amount of work and overall looks of my first approach and today we went further to the point where we really have just to focus on the "Portfolio" part of the website.

    But when he told me that he wants all text Justified and Unhyphenated I had to say:

    "No! I mean, please not all text."

    I was then asked to do as it worked better according to the page design, white spaces,text and type sizes.

    I feel much better.

    • i never understand the request to lustify text. totally unreadable and any 'but it looks tidier" comment totally undermined by hideous rivers. awful.hans_glib

    Around 14 years of QBN and finally I'm talking about clients on a regular basis...hahaha!

    7 year old sheepishly tells me yesterday that the tv is isn't working right anymore .. denies any wrong doing..

    later when mama wasn't around, I asked him again, assuring him he won't be in trouble.. of course, swinging toys around eventually lead to its demise..

    proud of his honesty, not so happy about having to replace a 2.5 year old smart tv..

    In the last couple of days my 5Ghz Gateway Verizon FIOS router all of sudden started to download files a lot slower than it did just a few days ago. My download speed went from 120 Mbps, to under 10 Mbps. The Upload speed is performing great at 120 Mbps, no changes were observed to the upload speed. And all of my mobile devices linked to the 5G router work perfectly fine.

    But when I switch my settings from 5Ghz to the 2.4Ghz band on my computer, my download speed goes back up to the normal 120 Mbps.

    What gives....anybody?

    • innovation never sleeps!lvl_13
    • maybe a cap on the network setting? i've had similar. although it seems pretty inconsistent as far as each time i'm connected.lvl_13

    Got paid in a dumb large amount of Fire OG for a project about a month ago. The last time that happened it took longer than i can remember to get through it. I do wish it was a sativa. This is too heavy for daytime smoke.

    Why developing my thesis is being so boring...? I'm buried at work and the deadline is approaching...

    Apparently TacoBell has come to the UK, so I've finally had an opportunity to try this greatly loved American staple.

    It was everything I ever imagined it would be, so I need never bother thinking about trying it again.

    • hahaha!monospaced
    • Can anyone confirm it's the same as the states? Because it's different in Canadanb
    • never been to the US? It's pretty awful over there.fadein11

    • mono, you're a great cook, and look great without a shirt on, i'm just saying I LOVE TACO BELL with mountain dewpinkfloyd
    • It's an acquired taste that started off from college. I still get the chicken burriton, bean burrito and cheesy nachos with mountain dew. Navy seals eat at tacpinkfloyd
    • I'm with Set on five guys - also terrible!fadein11
    • Demolition man.... wasn't that Pizza Hut?pango
    • I don't have an opinion on five guys actually, never tried it, just thought it was an American thing that didn't exist here, like taco bellset
    • "WTF is going on", Set just realised the UK is awash with American brands. Five Guys is a train station or shopping centre brand as far as I can tell. Notfadein11

    • My nearest taco bell is a combo Taco Bell / KFC. The one near where I grew up was a combo Taco Bell / Pizza Hut and they catered lunches at my JR High and HS.shellie
    • I wouldn't feed that to a dog or a child i actually cared about. id like to see how many ppl from my schools have diabetes now.shellie

    • Let's hope Trump changes things... "he's different"fadein11
    • lol, it would be awful if that was THE food choice, but it actually wasn't. It was just an option they had once a week outside the regular shit.monospaced
    • Well that's a little better then. Scary giving kids that shit in school.fadein11
    • totally... it wasn't free either ... and if I remember correctly, most people avoided it (we had an open campus, everyone left for lunch and ate elsewhere).monospaced
    • we had it every day. pizza or bean or beef burritos. there were a few other options but the kids didn't really do that.shellie
    • my mom made my lunch and i hated her for it. i wanted pizza too bc i didn't know what was good for me yet. i wanted to eat trash with my friends.shellie

    Life tips : if you're exhibiting at a comic con, don't refer to someone who's obviously spent a long while on their COSPlay as 'fancy dress'.

    Lost a sale right there.

    Also, don't think he's here any more, but HelloMuller, an old QBNer, is just down the way from us.

    Will say hi tomorrow.

    • muttered "don't call it Fancy Dress, detritus - it's COSPlay" at which I realised what a

    Read up on some Chomsky last night. It was a great reminder about the common sense politics of isolationism.
