The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I just figured out a way to automate inserting urls into like >700 lines at once, which took a couple of hours to set up, instead of spending a couple days doing it by hand
I'm proud of myself.
It only took juggling dreamweaver, excel, and the proprietary in-browser web authoring tool and bending them to my iron will
this is about the millionth time that I've found a wildly more efficient way of doing something that my bosses expect will take days to do. I really should screw around for like three days now, but it's just an assistantship, and i really need a full time gig when I'm done w/ my Master's.
so SE, what utterly insignificant self-satisfying thing have you done lately?

I've been leaving some boxes in one of the offices that I support only because the people in there are total douches and I like it that they have to call me 3 times a day to come remove the boxes. This is making me very happy.

back at my old job when I was designing yearbooks, the people used to name the image files with the name of the kid, like john_smith.jpg
and the people at my work had always just typed the names ion by hand or copy-pasted them, but I was like fuck that, I'm not doing that for 1400 student photos, and in about half an hour I figured out how to use text edit to extract the file names in the format I wanted, ordered and distributed exactly how I wanted them in a separate text file ready to be dumped into linked text boxes and flowed through the entire book.
I made a two day job someone had to do about a dozen times a year into a ten minute job.
I made a fucking incredible save at my volleyball game today
holy fuck it was AWESOME and I felt so good about it
one armed with a dive and mid-air twist
sah-weeeeeeeeeet
Those are badass!
I made one like that in highschool during playoffs one year, I made the save and crashed into a few folding chairs beside the court, turned around and saw that my perfect save that had gone in a nice easy arc right into the middle of the court where anyone could've stepped under it kept going and fell to the floor because 2 people couldn't decide who was going to take it.
I was annoyed but my coach... WHOOO boy my coach was LIVID.

We're were doing urban assault training at Ft. Campbell, using the whole neato military laser-tag system that straps on to your real weapons and you just fire blanks; my fire team was storming up a stairwell, I was the second man in the stack, my team leader in front of me and the other two troops behind me.
Right when my team leader got to the top stair, one of the opfor guys threw open a hatch in the ceiling and sprayed down at us, and my team leader's kill alarm went off, so he falls down per the rules, I take a few shots up at the hatch and guy ducks back in, I stop firing, and as he ducks back out to shoot again I leap up over my team leader and twist over to land on my back and fire straight up into the hatch hitting the opfor guys sensor, and somehow I managed to slide when I landed and slide halfway through a doorway into another room off the top of the stairs, so the other two team members ran in behind me and we took that room too.

I need to finish learning access, so I can attempt to do the december reports. However, I can't dig up enough will power to do so.
This internet browsing is not helping much.
I replace workers with computers for a living.
you do realize that eventually they are going to ask you to create a program that can do your job for you
But then I make it so it needs me to support it.
50% of my job is posting here.

And you have a chosen. It's a win win.

just kidding, this thread is about screwing things up
to be fair, the one i edited shouldn't have still been on the server, and is nearly the same as what i have to do now

Which I hope to be playing tonight.
Until it gains sentience and decides you are a threat to be eliminated.
But yeah, I'm sure you know what you're doing.
and emails instead of endless streams of letters
So your saying that Weretaco works for Cyberdyne Systems?
holy fuck it was AWESOME and I felt so good about it

Nope, he works for the pentegon on the Eagle Eye program.
Did your hair go all "swooooooosh" in slow-mo because I bet it did.

I'm sure the five people in the stands went wild.
I cut my hair, bro! today it was clipped up and held back with a headband
so it was more of a SWISH then a SWOOSH
Pfft I live in Canada. Worst it's going to do is try and force the metric system on you.
you underestimate the draw of volleyball butts
an excellent point
