Last Day
gilesmarie:
• Exit interview
• Department lunch
• Cake
It was a good run, but I’m ready to move on.
Except for cake and the inclusion of build monitoring, I have the exact same day.
RESIGNATION BUDDIES!

I don't think I'll get over the fact that some...
I am not a unique snowflake, nor am I an intimidating person (unless you’re a big introvert, then maybe). I just watch the Missing e tag to help where I can and counter Tumblr’s FUD warning message with a tiny little one-man grassroots campaign. Goddamn, you should see the @theMissinge Twitter feed. It is mostly not anything BUT that.
Still, if you go all “WOO! LOOK WHO REPLIED...

Our 6 remaining computers
Maggie (she also has an iPad, which I don’t count):
• Work laptop (Dell Latitude)
• Personal laptop (Dell Studio something-or-other)
• Custom-built desktop
Me:
• Macbook (previous gen, white plastic, still very pretty since I make everyone wash their hands before using it)
• Asus subnotebook
• Better custom desktop (currently our Linux media server)
Transferring personal files off my work laptop to...
In preparation of returning it on my last day at work, tomorrow.
No more Thinkpad.
Our family will be down one computer, only 6 will be left.

noncromulant asked: I used to transcribe court case decisions from plain text to SGML. Believe me, "smelling like a poop" is actually a pretty sane reason for a divorce compared to some of the things I read. For example - when she has just given birth and is medically knocked out, don't name the baby something stupid on a bet instead of what you'd both chosen. Instant divorce.

alicedubs asked: Can you come help me paint my bedroom this weekend?
Marriage. We haz one.
Her: WHAT? I WANT A DIVORCE!
Me: Just because I told you that sometimes you make me want to shoot you in the eye with a rusty nailgun?
Her: No. Because you smell like a poop.

carpejoseph replied to your video: I was on the topic of great cover songs or… Have you heard the Chinese version? I’m unsure of the song name but it sounds more emotional than this version. I love them both :)
Link. Now.

The Rhinoceros Party of Canada
futuresushi:
The Rhinoceros Party promised to declare war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons. They then offered to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros “Hindquarters” in Montreal (which the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa actually did, which led to the...

Get rid of the anti-Missing-E fear-mongering...
tj:
I am tired of Tumblr, Inc.’s ongoing tantrum about Missing E.
If they hadn’t grossly exaggerated and relied on FUD for their message, I might be more sympathetic.
Now I just want to make sure I never see it again.
If you feel the same way, here’s how to get rid of it.

If you use Google Chrome, get Stylish

sinnum replied to your photo: An anon asked for a photo of me and Maggie. It… hmm, i’ve been on the internet a while and this, good sir, looks photoshopped!
I just used the “Hot, Flying Asian Chick” brush set I got for PS. Totally worth the $15.

Me: Who knows? Maybe I can work on an app like that one!
Maggie: You need to get a job first, you lazy ass.
Me: I still have a job right now. Can you at least wait until I'm actually unemployed and gotten some thesis work done before you start with that?
Maggie: No.

I like to think this is thanks to me
Tumblr has not been idle working on their interface. Sometime earlier today or yesterday (not sure), I noticed that they added the ability to upload images into the body of an answer post while responding to an ask from your inbox.
As a result, I removed the pre-existing tweak from Missing e. Missing e is still responsible for adding the + Upload photo button on new post pages (other than for...
