Last e-mail thread's getting too big

So here's a new one.

Nebuchadnezzar (talk)23:23, 9 May 2012

e-mail, e-mail, e-mail, i made you out of clay. and when you're finished baking, with e-mail i will play.

(wow, the songs that infected our minds in elementary school.

Green mowse.pngGodot23:25, 9 May 2012

I may have just ruined your love of reading things, for the rest of your life, but it's on its way.

Green mowse.pngGodot23:35, 9 May 2012

I sent you two separate ones so the topics don't get mixed together.

Nebuchadnezzar (talk)00:54, 10 May 2012

Got the other oen, too. replied in a typical short and to the point, Godot styel. ;-) (as if).


Someday, i want to ask these types why they need to attack religion, rather than just praise atheism.

Green mowse.pngGodot01:03, 10 May 2012

E-mail, you haz one.

We attack religion because the Religious Right harms people and that’s just one example.

Proxima Centauri (talk)19:38, 17 June 2012

... Prox, have you ever even encountered a raving fundamentalist in the flesh before?

Тytalk19:43, 17 June 2012

I've encountered raving fundamentalists in the flesh, some of them hurt me in the name of Jesus. I know that kind can do more harm in places like the US Bible belt than they do in the relatively secular UK. I fight them to reduce the harm they do.

Proxima Centauri (talk)19:49, 17 June 2012

while leaving people with a bad impression of what an atheist acts like, right?

Email.

getting!

Green mowse.pngGodot19:47, 28 May 2012

Are emails still dropping in the junk folder or are people seriously at the stage where they check RW more frequently than their inbox?

Scarlet A.pngnarchist19:50, 28 May 2012

Yes.

Actually, it occurs to me that the email address I have assigned to RW gets checked very infrequently as I almost exclusively use by work one. So indeed, I check RW more often than I check the old Homtail account.

Scarlet A.pngtheist19:53, 28 May 2012

Unless my phone chimes I ignore my inboxes in general.

my husband set that up for me, cause i ignore my mail box way too much. so now the phone says "hubby", and i know to go get the mail, or choose to ignore him. ;-)

Green mowse.pngGodot19:58, 28 May 2012

Mine just chimes unless it is spam or people I filter. Sometimes my spam folder contains the most intresting things.

 

For me, it plays the Final Fantasy victory fanfare in the middle of the night, which means an undergrad needs help with their homework.

Scarlet A.pngpostate20:01, 28 May 2012

Hum.... that i'd have filtered out! ;-) Mine intentinally is quite except for those I choose that I want to hear from. My work account is the other way, i set it to chime except for those I know are stupid.

I'm not really into being "beckoned" though. I don't answer my phone if i'm doing something (to my hubby's uber frustration), i call them back when I want to talk. I don't check email at the chime unless i'm bored and around here or facebook, or waiting for something. I take 10 minutes every 4 hours to check business mail. it's actually more productive that way.

Green mowse.pngGodot20:06, 28 May 2012

I used to refresh my inbox excessively, but that got old fast. I filter people I don't like, such as whiny people asking what the homework answers are and blood relatives. Really really need to contact me: skype/gchat/phone. Though some people here respond to emails in literally seconds, others rarely respond at all.

 
 
 
 
 
 

I have this mail linked to my personal e-mail, which is on my phone, but I never log into anymore since all my mail seems to go to my work account.

so this is the fastest way to get me. :-) sad, huh?

Green mowse.pngGodot19:55, 28 May 2012

If we could just sync RW to Android notifications...

Scarlet A.pngnarchist19:57, 28 May 2012

blackberry? i'm too behind for an andriod.

Green mowse.pngGodot20:01, 28 May 2012

Really wish we had an app. Phone editing anything but roll back, block, and LQT is nigh impossible.

Talk to Pimobile about that.

Because this keeps showing up in my top right hand corner.

ТyrannisPlead22:49, 13 June 2012

Green mowse.pngGodotWhy is being ignorant something to be proud of?23:32, 13 June 2012

What wall? I'm not allowed to post things on my wall, that would violate my lease. ;}

ТyrannisPlead23:33, 13 June 2012

ohhhh leases. God how i love owning. Took me nearly 40 years to own, and it's nothing fancy, just a town house (someone else still does my yard, yeah!), but I get the joy of painting when i want, or putting up shelves, or changing fridges, owning whatever damn pet the law allows... it's such heaven!

Green mowse.pngGodotWhy is being ignorant something to be proud of?23:36, 13 June 2012

There's some sort of weird molding I can hang things off of, but I don't have a ladder. Hey, at least I didn't have to pay for fixing the torrential rainstorm in my closet. Stupid 69 year old plumbing.

ТyrannisPlead23:38, 13 June 2012

so is there anything left that is truly disgusting, that hte land lord hasn't or wont' deal with?

Green mowse.pngGodotWhy is being ignorant something to be proud of?23:48, 13 June 2012

The neighborhood as a whole is terrible, and the landlord refuses to do anything about it.

Well, an artist was randomly gunned down last year, so... enh?

ТyrannisPlead01:40, 14 June 2012

What if it wasn't random?! What if there's a mad artist-hater in the neighborhood, and worse, you brought Dumpling there?!

Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.19:06, 14 June 2012

Really busy today. not that you can tell. I'd vent about old men not knowing how to use a computer.

I was just told to ADD on a printing calculator, the numbers that WERE ALREADY IN A SPREAD SHEET cause he didn't trust the spred sheet. not the typist, which given it was me, would have been a reasonalbe fear, but the software that adds things.

He also cannot "see" a window in his computer. He does not grasp that the box is not part of a single image, but is infact an entity of it's own. and you can have 1 or 10 or 1000 of them on your computer screen and once, and nothing bad will happen (other than blowing up your processor, but i digress).

I asked him to "close the window and open up X", and he really could not understand what I meant. He was looking at it, but did not "see" it.

Green mowse.pngGodotTut tut, looks like rain19:00, 21 June 2012

Inform him that the machine spirit has been corrupted and we must restart the logic engine so the cogitator can resume collating.

Тytalk19:02, 21 June 2012

LOLOL.

He really is like Dilber's boss. cept it's not for lack of trying.

What's ironic is in the 80's he build several computers from "scratch". and he is very copecetic with non gui dos type commands, cause they are very liner. "print doc x to site y". vs, "drag that icon here" (what icon? where is here? how do you drag?)

I didn't really get how much the concept of a "windwo" is perception.

Working in tech support had its fun moments.

Тytalk23:13, 21 June 2012

Obligatory:

Scarlet A.pngpostate23:19, 21 June 2012

Great moments in wtfery: some guy melts a candy bar on his motherboard, asks us to fix it.

Тytalk23:23, 21 June 2012

IT guys walk into an office to tell people that there was a server crash and if they want to keep on working they'll have to restart their computers. Half the office just hit the off-button on their monitors...

...wait how the fuck do you melt... never mind. It's like the "why is there a miniature brass sculpture of Napoleon stuck in your arse".

Scarlet A.pngbomination23:34, 21 June 2012

Pre fan cpu's. We worked at a high school, one day the boss had enough and had all the 486's around the school confiscated and destroyed. This was in 2007.

Тytalk23:51, 21 June 2012

CPUs... with... out... fans...

Scarlet A.pngnarchist23:55, 21 June 2012

Just some bendy metal on top to increase surface area. Maybe one case fan + the PSU fan.

c2000, i had a part time job doing "test" of software. we were in a section beside the complaint and help desk.

The single biggest complaint was AOL users. The did not know what a "link" was, or what clicking was, or how to cut and paste, so teh line "AOL users will want to cut and paste the link below and paste it into the address bar of the browser" meant nothing to them.

"How to i get to the site?"

I hope to god AOL is gone.

Green mowse.pngGodotTut tut, looks like rain01:15, 19 June 2012

A fat lady’s hairy vagina can be known as a Wobbie. At least one Christian fundy thinks that term’s OK as A username though I guess he doesn’t know what it can mean. Awobbie’s contributions show he’s a fundy.

Proxima Centauri (talk)14:44, 22 June 2012

woobi? intersting!

Green mowse.pngGodotTut tut, looks like rain14:48, 22 June 2012

Woobi means something different from Wobbie.

Proxima Centauri (talk)14:52, 22 June 2012

And then there's Woobie = somebody you want to give a big hug, wrap in a blanket and feed soup to when he or she suffers so very beautifully.

PsyGremlinPrata!14:59, 22 June 2012

In a Warner Brother's cartoon serries, maybe 10 years ago... with "teen" knock off of the main characthers, there was one clip that broke my heart - clearly a woobie moment.

The cat character (the cousine of Silvester, i think) had a ribbon that was virtually alive in the wind. It was "teasing" the cat, and they were playing together, and it "petted' the cat while it flew in the wind... but then the wind died, adn the ribbon "died". the cat pawed at it, sooooo sad. (I cried, stupidly).

but it is all alright, the wind picked up and brought the ribbon back to life.


woobies are the best manipulators!

Green mowse.pngGodotTut tut, looks like rain15:22, 22 June 2012

It was, until about like 10 minutes ago. we just read that Personhood Colorado is suing to put their damned question on the ballot. And while that's stupid for lots of ideolgical reasons, the ballots go to final proof Tomorrow. Then BY LAW, they go to the printers mon - wed, to be slotted into the printing schedule.

Each ballot is individual. printed individually with your name on it, and your specific issues (ie., 12 state issues, but you might have a local fire dept that I don't have). There is no room for a "wait wait, we want in too" on this game.

jackasses.

this will quite literally cost millions to do, and might not be possible, given the time it takes to print and mail ballots.
