Whew, only one hour and 45 minutes and I can go home! Well, shopping first... I need a bottle of Patron tequila and a bottle of vodka, both for this weekend. I want to just say home, sip drinkies, render, and write, and read! I need to get all of my Kindle library on to my tablet PC.. that should keep me busy a while!
Seriously tempted to go out for drunken debauchery on Friday, but fore that I could get a nice back massage, a backup USB hard drive, and have money left over for a Chicken Wing Sunday! Sigh.. maybe my drunken debauchery days are over. I feel sooooooo oooollllldddd! (cry cry cry)
I need to be able to write during my downtime at work, AND when at home. I'm thinking of changing up my workflow to use Google Docs for the first draft, then into either Scrivener for revision and editing or straight into Jutoh for final editing, art, and publication. I have long dead spaces when I could be doing something (like right now, waiting for the ONE test guy to test 4 different flavors of the software) and I could easily get 200-500 words a day in during lunch. Must.. write.. more.. AAIIIEEEE! (aaaaaah face)
250 hits today on my Red Room authors page. Weird. I'm not advertising myself except in my sigs in the few places I post, and in my online chat profile.. not even my Facebook! I wonder who on Earth is reading my stuff? (weird feeling face)
...moving along, icky cold off and on rainy day today.
Applied for a Records Assistant job with the VA. Hopefully 17 years of experience in the posted job duties and qualifications should be enough for to satisfy the GS6 grade prerequisite.
The position with the State Liquor Control Commission which I recently applied for closes today so I should hear soon if I am a candidate or not.
Currently DL-ing a bunch bunch of stuff I got at Rendo with the GC I won, was even able to use their Father's Day coupon. In the end paid a whopping total of 51¢ over the GC value for something like 40$ worth of content.
Heading over To Xurge's site, got 35$ there.
A few of those hits are mine, when you mentioned that post about writing in different mindsets v(~_~)v. Nice photo btw - very loachy ;-).
Here's hoping something comes through for you! (grin)
Cool on all the goodies.. enjoy!!! (cool smile)

Heh, them darn whippersnapers! But wait - I still code in assembly! One of our products uses a 2K program space microcontroller with 64 BYTES of RAM.. the code is mixed C and hand-tuned assembler! We ship over 2000 of the darn things A MONTH! (bug eyed face) None is self-modifying, though.. sigh.. those were the days! (smirk)
Thanks for reading! (very red of face) I try to blog every day or so on my writing process, progress, and writers life as well as my current reading. I'm not really going to push my site until I have several short stories and a serial or two ready, I need a pre-existing back-catalog to hold readers while I scribble out the next Fistful Of Words!
Probably no debauchery at all this week, I feel too flat and I had some drama(tm) Monday and Tuesday (personal life) that's left me feeling less than enamored of the company of anyone, even scantily clad nubile females. Feh.
...can't help you on the tequila (don't really drink the stuff as it reminds me of paint thinner) but for Wodka's try one of these:
Vikingfjord - a Potato Wodka From Norway distilled with pure glacier water. Very smooth and clean.
Luksusowa - My personal favourite Wodka Distilled in Poland since 1928.
Monopolowa - Though made in Austria since WWII, it still adheres to the original Baczewski family recipe dating back to the late 18th Century. Extremely high quality, and over two centuries of heritage at a very reasonable price.
I use Office 2007, and I only recently archived my emails and started a new pst file. I had emails in there since the mid to late 90s! And a lot of them. Maybe it was a setting you had. I can still open the old one and look for things that I want to reference.

..the reason I kept them "live" instead of in .pst format was if someone kept insisting I was wrong (usually one of the sales crew), I'd just forward the actual original email to them. That usually did the trick.
People at my workplace seemed to frequently suffer from what I call "Myopic Memory Disorder".
I saw a processor for socket 939 motherboard for $40. I almost bought it. Only downside is that the motherboard and memory will still be slow. Guess I'll end up building my own computer for about $650 U.S. that includes a quad core AMD processor and a monitor. hey, that is an incentive for me to find a job. lol
i was trying to do a job search online but I forgot what field/profession i wanted to search for. must've been a rough day for me cuz i forgot some stuff.. like how to play online games. i only play for a couple of minutes because the MMORPGs are really crowded now that the kids and adults in the U.S. are on summer break/vacation.
i thought 640 KB of ram was little but 64 BYTES? wow.
Here is an attempt at my hermaphrodite character Ejijah.

I've had both Luksusowa and Monopolowa - eminently drinkable, no discernible hangover, smooth as a strippers butt (heh).
Definitely will get a bottle of one or the other! (big grin)
cute fangs. eyebrows match her hair

The pst file is just the data file that points to all the emails. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. I can open any email and read, reply, forward, whatever. So I am confused as to why you had any issues. Maybe it's just me, though.

This little chips only purpose in life is to run a relay, that's it. It has to make sure that there's proper power to the device it's running and that the relay is switched in such a way as to take no damage when passing high current loads (which is actually kind of tricky). At any time I may use as much as 20-30 bytes for state and timers, the rest is just monitoring a sensor and an A/C line.
There is an encyclopedias worth of things I'm horrible at, but dang, can I program computers!!! (wow face)
It must certainly be a very specialized piece of hardware that does only one thing. It doesn't take much in machine language to perform a specialized process.

Thanks, I did my best to find a light skin texture that has no eyebrows. It is actually a H5 texture with Hitomi's eyebrows. I spin those dials and checked to make sure I did not break the mesh then spin some more then check again.
will do some more renders in a bit

...ach, apologies, had the terminology mixed up (haven't used Outrage for some time now).
The way emails were archived at my company, all the files for a given time frame (say 6 months worth) were distilled into rich textfiles and then compressed in one large .zip file. Therefore, all links and controls (like "forward") no longer worked and threading was broken (making searching a real pain in the bum). To view an archived email, I would have been required to submit a request each time then search through the textfile for the particular email file I needed. I was told back then my huge .pst files were the reason Outrage would barf so often, and this was the only way they could handle it.
When I switched to Thunderbird, I could simply move a block of older emails to an archive folder (I did this by year) while maintaining the same inbox/sentbox structure and it had no issue dealing with such a huge .pst file like Outrage would frequently did.
Time to pack up and head out! Shopping, then home! (smile)
It's been a day - argh. No rest for the wicked until the weekend! (evil grin)
My current Personal Folders file has 3,857 messages in it...and that's only since January of this year. Before that, it was since the 90s. Outlook opened a little slowly, but still worked and didn't ever crash as a result. I just needed to create any special sub-folders I had wanted in the new Personal Folders file. It took a couple of minutes to get set and ready to go again.
I don't know how many emails were considered to make it "huge". But just making a new Personal Folders file is much better than converting to rich text and zipping it! The old one doesn't even have to be open when Outlook loads...you can open it when you want/need to, then close it when you're done with it. To me, that's minor...rich text and zipping would absolutely be a pain in the kiester!

...where I worked I had little control over that. The version we had I believe was part of the Offence 2K bundle. Just about every day it would freeze up or choke on me because (according to the IT tech) of the size of .pst file I had.
I did the same as with Thunderbird, moving older emails to sub folders, but for some reason it still didn't like that. Not sure if it was the way in which it was set up at our company (individuals were prevented from configuring company software save for "cosmetic" stuff thus inflicting one individual's workflow concept on everyone else). We couldn't even update when a "new update is ready" message appeared (even though we had an incredibly tight and nit picky firewall/security suite), hence I often was working with outdated (sometimes buggy) versions for some time until the IT dept got around to installing the needed updates.
(beginning to think you're making these up expression... o.0)
Complaint: Hot today. Well, hot to me anyway.
Non-complaint: Got my results from bleeding tests.
A1C: 6.5
Cholesterol: 117
Good numbers for me.
It was hot today and I am tired.
Well, I can't remember Office 2000...it's been a while. But moving stuff to a sub folder isn't going to help because that sub folder is also in your main Personal Folders file. It would have to have been a new Personal Folders file, which you would have to set as not loading when Outlook started. I can see the problems, though...it seems the IT staff didn't have a good handle on techniques.

...stupid ISP just locked me out from opening any new links/sites as well as my email until I commit to upgrading my service.
Am at the hotspot and someone was slamming the bandwidth while I was downloading so I plugged in my wireless modem and weitcehd off the cafe's network. Download was running smoothly (15 min instead of 2 hrs projected time) when all of a sudden the tab on which DA was on gets overwritten by the ISPs feed (see attachment below):
When I tried to reset the tab it kept popping up. Furthermore, Gmail began to up a "Not Connected: Connecting in ". message Tried to sign onto the ISPs site but forgot my password (haven't been there for a while) and of course when you click "forgot password" and enter you userername/email, it sends an email with a temporary password, which of course I am unable to open because they are hosing my connection to Gmail. I'm paid up until the middle of next month. I signed on with this company because this kind of rubbish was not supposed to happen with them.
The stupid thing is all their suggestions mention a phone is involved. I don't have a phone, I'm using a bloody USB modem plugged into my notebook.
What they are doing here is illegal, for they are forcing me to pay for a service I do not want or need by blocking my service which I have already paid them for and holding me hostage until I agree to their stupid "upgrade".
Still able to download while I'm on the Daz site so completing that before I close out.

Now, would a loach do such a thing? (angelic smile)
Very nice! Keep it up! (big smile)
@KK: that's not cricket (angry frowny face)... I wonder how they achieved that - *speculates* ... *deleted probably against TOS*... because popping up ISP pages in front of what you're doing, when you're using a completely different communication mechanism is NOT something that happens every day.
Shopping done, one bottle each of Luksusowa and Monopolowa - plenty for a long time! (big grin)
Now nibbling chicken strips dipped in A1 sauce, yum!
Morning. Coldest day evah here, or something...
...I actually was on the modem at the time it occurred as as I had switched from the Hotspot's server because their bandwidth was getting hammered by someone streaming vids. Like I mentioned I was blocked from from getting on any other site as well as every tine I opened a new tab and clicked a bookmark the same screen would pop up. Currently back on the Cafe's server as I am finished with my downloads.
That 10$ surcharge does not include the fact I have to purchase their 120$ "hotspot" modem.
