Redesigning someone's work? Not a problem.
Working with someone else's files who don't keep a clean layered structure and couldn't care less about naming them correctly?

The domain registrar I've used since the late 90s has finally gotten around to updating their back-end - it's been pretty much the same in all the time I've been with them.
Part of this upgrade is teh requirement for an updated password - fair enough, the one I use there is comically short and easy to hashbang, if an avenue was provided.
Except.. they're doign it the retard way:
contain at least 8 characters
contain utmost 16 characters
contain at least 2 digit(s)
contain at least 1 lowercase alphabet(s)
contain at least 1 uppercase alphabet(s)
contain at least 1 special character(s)
contain only the following allowed special characters: ~!@#*^-$%&()+=_?/{}This is, as far as I know, bad practice - especially, in my mind, the 8-16 character limit. Much better to have, say, 128 character limit and let people write whatever the fuck they like. Now I've got to find the magical bowl of porridge that fits this mostly arbitrary criteria.

shit like this makes me change companies, pointless curmudgeon that i am.

Got some Valentine's undie-bombs for my wife.
It was a little nerve-wracking being the only dude in the store. Bras and thongs everywhere. But I did good, she likes em!

Damn you Chipotle. How am I supposed to read this on my computer without breaking my neck?
- You can't read sideways without tywisting your head? Mind, you I suppose we ARE getting old.. :\detritus
- Also, enjoy it whilst you can..
https://www.bloomber…detritus - nnngh, fuck you mg33 - I've not had Chipotle in aaaages and now it's all I can think about :|detritus
- I'm giving the Keto diet a try - limited carbs - higher fat and protein, and we had Chipotle catered in our office today.mg33
- I panicked but then managed a nice 532 calorie lunch of steak, cheese, salsa, lettuce, and guacamole. Delicious.mg33
- we had qudoba. i somehow managed to be first in line, how awful with no way to gauge how MUCH food was appropriate to add to my plate.kona
- so I went light and an hour later im hungry again. white rice. beans. steak. salsa. lettuce.kona
- I literally went down the line with a food scale. LOLmg33
- Kona you should see the difference in my nutrition breakdown between a low carb approach vs my normal. Avg. carbs a day for me was over 200.mg33
- This week I've kept below 35 each day.mg33
- And nowhere near the added sugar I typically ingest, save for some non-dairy, low carb ice cream.mg33
- lol@the food scale. I'm impressed!kona

I just got to my layover on a flight yesterday when google showed me the article on this plane engine falling apart, asking "Do you want to see more articles like this?"uhhhhhhh no.

so i realized and have to admit that i've been using this guy mike for a really long time now. i mean i considered him a friend and hung out with him a lot (mostly lunch meetings and such) but today realized that underneath everything i've been using him to hopefully one day cash out on him. he's really smart and i just was trying to stay within his close biz circle/network so that hopefully could be a partner (which at some point we were).. i think the point i'm making is don't mix business with friends and don't do what i did which is make a 'friend' only based on hopes of some business interaction. sometimes i feel i was used by him (as i have gotten him jobs, connections, work for his company w/o pay, was promised equity, was considered a biz partner, done biz deals) but today realized that it wasn't him using me so much as it was me always using him. even though i had done so much for him, the line of business/friends was too blurred, and now i don't find that i like him much as a friends or business - and realize that i wouldn't have liked or hung out him to all along if i hadn't been essentially using him to try and further my career. anyway FML, that was too long an investment for it not to pay out.
oh well. lesson learned in life i suppose. don't use people?

- i sent someone a qbn shirt after someone sent it to me. the barter of qbn logo merch is a longstanding traditionimbecile
- inteliboy1
I've always wondered, why over all these years, there is always a troll or two on qbn/nt. statistically is it the norm or something?
- Maybe it's a job... just to stir things up...dmay
- Suspect someone volunteers themselves if there is a void. If no one is posting racist, sexist tripe. Someone feels compelled to grab that unclaimed attention.Hayzilla
- I'm starting to think it is a mod or a higher up. Like an experiment they will write about later.capn_ron
- me thinks it's statistics, out of every 10-20 ppl there has to be one or two idiots...renderedred

Working from home today as I want to focus on re-doing my website without the distraction of machinery in the background - also, the heating works better here. I'm very rarely here throughout weekdays, so am unaccustomed to the rituals and routines of my neighbours.
I'm less than thrilled to learn that apparently my upstairs neighbour likes to listen to thrashing metal/punk loudly in the afternoon and that my old next door neighbour has his TV set turned up quite loudly too whilst he watches bombastic movies.
I thought older brick buildings were better at sound absorption. I am, as I often find myself in life, completely incorrect.

I have a Mac Book.
I downloaded an app that randomly opened all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and was obviously spam.
I don't see anything new installed or new extensions.
Am I okay? Is there any step I should take?
- what app?monospaced
- When you installed it very likely it installed junk as well. Sometime you have to check a box to tell it not to install junkpango
- Or other tricky way to make you agree to install junkpango

Is there a way to find what serial number is used on an application?

Fucking hell.. look after your brian's guys and ladies and don't burn out.
One or two weeks in recovering and I realize how much stress and work load I've had to endure. Still really in a bad way and my fucking brain actually feels bruised, my attention span is shot to shit and my current motivation is zero.
Pulling the plug on my personal project until the day I get more time. Ironically within one day of only coding at work I picked up a note book and wrote out a chapter of my book. All I ever wanted to do was write and story tell anyway.
Even thinking of leaving my current line of work to something more humane. Not to sure what though as not much innovation in London these days. Thinking of VR or something innovative.
I know there are some larger and more critical things happening in the world and they dwarf this message in compassions but point I'm trying to make is look after yourself as well as friends and family around you.
- :D Sorry, I know you're dyslexic, but "Look after your Brian's guys and ladies" is brilliant!detritus
- haha i only notice when things get pointed out! If my work is ever printed i might release an un-dyslexic version for the peoplez!mugwart
- us dyslexics still read as 'Brain,' anyway :)Gnash
- You've totally abused your Brian and now he's bruised and sore. Give give him a rest, the poor lad.set
- ;-)mugwart
- perhaps there's a way you can make your current job work better for you.Gnash
- it's very 'add' to pack up and move on! resist the urge until you've pushed through the fogGnash
- Tried to talk to work but they haven't been helpful as in really disrespectful.mugwart
- and @set - yes it is. I'm forcing myself to stop, brought myself some games and even forced windows on my pc (nerd!) so I will not do anything.mugwart
- really want to get back into my yoga but even that feels to much. Rest is good but feel so guilty not working.mugwart
- If you feel guilty for resting then it seems like there's some emotional trauma you need to face head on. You deserve to rest and be happy palset
- I'm calling my friend Brian right now.monospaced
- Youre right set, I am and am aware of it. My family abused me for wanting to write, they sort of derailed my further education. So I feel I have to over work tomugwart
- compensate. I also have a fear of failure of not achieving my writing goal/dream. Basically my inner voice screams at me to get a move on with it already!mugwart
- #melodrama!mugwart
- You've got all the time in the world. Go easy on yourself. You're already exhausted, piling on more won't helpmonNom
- man mug, hope you feel better. you need a trip to sunny san diego to hang with the crew out here and just chill.capn_ron
- have you tried Ketamine?Gnash
- ^ no, been thinking about a type of magic mushroom. I'm t total so not sure how it will react with me though!mugwart

- Get some shrooms in ye - no comedown, unlike MDMA.detritus
- if you've not done shrooms before, i wouldn't reco it. unless you'll be with someone that has some experience. like Detritus :)Gnash
