    There's something quite perverse about people using pre-textured 'stencil effect' fonts in designs which are to be ... cut and used as stencils.

    • oooh out of interest, do you do laser cut stencils? serious question.fadein11
    • I do, yeah.detritus
    • ok, had a quote this morning from a company but would rather give the business to a QBN'r. Now comes the tricky part, how do we speak? :)fadein11
    • erm.. let me have a gander through old notes here so I can share a none business email with you...

    • Cool & its definitely happening as its being pressed right now, we just decided to make them unique-ish by using a stencil. I can't see anything on my profile?fadein11
    • Your feed - profile's too visible ;)detritus

    I've been working and wandering my way through Europe for 35 days now. I had a pretty decent route planned until yesterday when I found out about the Schengen agreement.

    I don't know how I missed this in my initial research, but it basically means I can only be within the EU borders for 90 days. I am scheduled to be in Europe for about 112.

    So now I am trying to find a quick gig (I'm using http://workaway.info for this entire trip) in Montenegro or Ireland or Albania or something just to take a few weeks and get my passport stamped a couple more times, just to come back within the borders and leave again.

    National borders are some real fuckery. But everything else is dope as fuck.

    • I dealt with this in HK before I moved there a few years ago. I’d go to Macau for a weekend to reset my passport entry date into HK. Enjoy your travels!imbecile

    There's a new guy at work who is maybe 5'8" and he's great.

    We don't work together directly though. Someone asked me if I met the "new guy" and my response was "oh, the short guy? yes".

    And then I felt bad.

    If you're a shorter guy or bald, that's often the first thing someone uses to describe you.

    • I'm... short?

      Are you Dutch?
      detritus
    • or tall
      or fat
      or hairy
      or anything that might be helpful in identifying the person in question

    • @det: 5'8" - effing dwarfish innit.hans_glib
    • at a stag do long ago, a bloke came up to me and said "you're a tall cunt, incha?" which was an unusual greeting to be sure.hans_glib
    • it turned out he was a member of the icf, which explained a lot.hans_glib
    • Anyone under 6' is short.i_monk
    • Come to Europe. We're all midgets here, apparently.

      Well, except hans. He's a tall cunt.
      detritus
    • I wonder if people refer to you as the shallow, insecure guy? ;)set
    • I'm just joking, it's just human nature. If you're shorter than other people, or if you're the only bald one, or the only black guy...set
    • ... That'll be how your described. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.set

    Woken at 5am to some noise. Go to living room, window open. Laptop gone. Wallet gone. Watch gone. Wacom and backpack gone.

    Been working on some music and personal projects and had been too relaxed in my backing up lately. Had become too trusting and complacent. Lost 4 months personal creative work.

    Trying not to be bummed out.

    Theft. Just don't do it.

    • that's fucked, im sorry manpockets

    • You seem very rational about it. That certainly sucks but it is just stuff and at least you're OK.set
    • It was pro job to take stuff for money. They're not going respond to me begging for it back.shapesalad
    • Have no insurance. Not a strong believer in it. Just saved extra. Insurance probably wouldn't pay out due to forgetting to lock window.shapesalad
    • Just got to accept there's bad people out there, only a matter of time or bad lucky that we become their victim. So I should have been better preparedshapesalad
    • ... with daily cloud back ups and just in case cloud goes down, hd backups. Sucks to live 'in fear' but feels like you can't be so trusting these days.shapesalad

    Yo. I’ve been posting a lot of dumb shit here lately. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m subconsciously venting my disdain for social media in general, especially Facebook. I’ve wrote some stupid shit and posted some lame memes that were at times inflammatory, for no good reason at all. It’s not the experience I want to have here on QBN and it doesn’t feel right.

    Or maybe I just don’t like downvotes which is an even bigger problem lol. Anyway just wanted to say that, and I’m excited to once again be a good QBN citizen. I ignore the shit I don’t agree with on here and that’s the way it should be.

    • Don't be too good, COTD needs yourobotron3k

    I dreamt that we stumbled across this rather grotesque looking pigeon with mammal like feet and really light grey fur. We deduced from inspecting the surroundings and seeing the abundance of pigeons and squirrels sharing the same space that it was a pigeon/squirrel hybrid. It really freaked me out. The feet were hideous.

    If you own or want to own a Fujifilm INSTAX film camera, note that you can buy film on eBay for cheap money.

    Each shot worth normally around 1$, on eBay you can buy 10 packs (100shots) for 12$ .. that's 0,12$ each shot.

    Top Tip:

    If your primary means of communication with a business partner is IM or email, and you spend most of your time being sarcastic dicks to each other - try and ensure the one time you're not being sarcastic dicks to each other is made clear so that no confusion arises.

    I've just been told off for not doing something, when I thought The Other was being a massive sarcastic dick. Going back through the IM exchange now, I'm still not sure at what point the conversation turned literal. Fucking idiots, both.
