Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Another Job Thread? I could do that at home with MS Word!

damn dude
that was pretty bad
My old boss bought two metal deer to sell, they were forty quid each. They sold.
Do you do a brisk business in garden gnomes?
Season's greetings, Satan!

I aint got enough podcasts. I need to expand my podcast horizons.
This made me grin.
On a job related note, why is Paccar's Prospector have such an arcane method of installation? Where's my eye of newt? I gotta install this custom MSSQL database.
I bloody hate those things. Thankfully, we do not!
looks like I retroactively ruined christmas
Gulls and Gnomes, the two things Liiya has declared war on.
They seem like natural enemies to a florist.
One is a stubby little stalker that hides in your garden, the other is a flying ratbag that defecates on your plants
They are clearly in cahoots
Since I don't know the relative value of a quid, I'm going to pretend you said Squid, and that you actually accepted 40 Cephalopods in exchange for each deer.
nope. I've spent well over 30 hours on the phone with our tech support troubleshooting issues, and at least 15 fixing issues on my own.
$61.57 each for you, my good man.
Unfortunately, the War on Gnomes was not UN sanctioned, so there are currently only border skirmishes around Liiya's yard and the shop she works at.
man I can get actual deer meat for that price. Screw your british steel deer. Their meat tastes like fillings
Well
You are missing out, sir!
My uncle was made redundant because they did this at his cinema and upper management think you can just press play and leave the projectors alone.
heh
So he's on a 6 month contract at their other site and they're training the concessions people to be projectionists but they keep leaving because it gets busy downstairs so they're not actually being trained properly.
You'll dislike the answer, but here's the truth: Both.
Crossing your fingers while working towards finding that angel investor isn't the best idea in the world.
Nor is simply thrashing yourself against the freelance tree without some kind of plan to make the pain stop.

great
now we can't pretend about the squid scenario
thanks a lot, Liiya, geez
Now you're just being crazy. There's no way those two metal deer are worth that much calamari.
Yeah, I'm starting to worry that that is the case. Luckily I have saved up a little money to keep me afloat for a few months if I'm let go.
For what it's worth, nobody on my team can muddle through the most minor update without asking for my help. We handle communications/news for internal sites, which are old and they haven't invested in a modern CMS so you have to know your way around html and css to do just about anything. Our director is always tied up in meetings and doesn't get hands-on with our systems much, and the two people who knew their way around our software/servers were in the process of leaving while they trained me. The two people hired around the time I was brought on as an intern just aren't computer savvy enough -- they write well and can generally tell the difference between a .pdf and a .doc, but Dreamweaver/Sharepoint are like arcane wizardy to them and they freeze up at the sight of < > tags.
Follow me on Twitter??

I mean, I hate to say it, but yea...this one is going to be taxing. Doesn't need to be a full blown working prototype or beta or whatever, but something that shows proof of concept and begins to give the idea of what you have in mind would be helpful. If for no other reason then "SE is a limited pool". Sure, we all know what you can do, but investors and folks in the mental health field may stumble upon you and go "Cor, this guy has a good idea....but can he execute?" You should have something that speaks to that.
As for the freelance. Hey, dudes gotta eat.
Oh well. No rest for the self-employed.
Could be cleaned up a bit for clarity's sake, but most certainly was not a bad place to start. It's almost like you're eloquent, or something.
Let me know if you get into too much work to handle, despite both of our smirks at the thought of that happening, yeah?
I'm gonna apply for a weekender job
28 bucks an hour and free beer
How bad could it be
The free beer is probably Budweiser.
You know it.
That's alright because I don't drink beer
But when I do
Bud Light is my drink of choice based on price
Coors IS polluted rainwater.
Fingers crossed yo
That'd be AWESOME money
I could buy so much manga/books with that
fuck yeah
