Someone thought it was novel (no pun intended, ugh) that I was reading in a cafe that fashions itself counterculture DESPITE THERE BEING A FUCKING BABY SHOWER THERE THIS MORNING FUCK YOU CACS AND CACABES and asked to take my picture. Posed. I was literally a poser, and possibly a poseur. Now I know how the caged bird sings those French girls felt.

On a related note, I was wearing a shirt that had I known I would be photographed like an animal at the zoo while wearing, I would not have worn. With my luck this picture will become some Facebook meme like "hey check this out. people read. books. :deadpos".

oh man, you're epic bookreader guy!?

prepping my résumé to find a new job.  My new leadership role has been completely undermined by my CTO and ownership.  All advice and direction I've advocated for the sanity of our workforce and success of our new product launch has been completely ignored for a "more projects now!" approach.  When I came to terms with that, my advice to increase our resources/staff to compensate for the workload has fallen on deaf ears.  My time estimates have been scoffed at, my intuition is seen as hesitation, and they finally hired a new project manager to oversee things along with me.

Fuck that.  I'm out.  I can't be a part of a company that hires me to do something then doesn't listen to the thing they told me to do.  I'm not gonna become a yes man and desert the needs of my developers.

Welcome to lower/middle management.  You find that you have almost no authority but almost all of the responsibility.  You usually need to get to the next stage of management before you can actually enact the change you want.

So do you recommend staying where I am or GTFO?

Here's the thing- it's probably not gonna be any better anywhere else in the same sort of position. I would recommend developing a drinking habit or finding a different career path. Possibly both.

I dropped my Gen 1 Nook and broke it.  :'(

Now I have to decide whether to get a Nook Glowlight or a Kindle Paperwhite. Paperwhite seems like the better choice, but then I'd have to futz around with either converting all my epubs to mobi or jailbreaking it.

OTOH, the Kindle Voyage looks sick, but $200 man.

paperwhites are awesome. i use calibre to manage my library; it's not the best interface but when you get it down it makes converting and sending stuff to the kindle a snap.


so i'm at my inlaws earlier today and my son wants to play baseball (to the level that a 3 year old plays baseball), so as I'm demonstrating how to put on the mitt I feel some weird sharp pains on my ringfinger. I pull off the glove thinking there is a frayed threading or something weird but it's just a hornet that stung me twice.  :'(

now my finger is all swoled up, hurts and my hand is all numb and cramped.  :'(

I loved Stanza on iOS until its unsupported ass shat the bed with iOS 5 (or was it 4?). I had a huge collection of books on it, and read erryday on my iPod during my train commute. And I lost all the books when Stanza quit working, and I subsequently failed to recover it all from my iPod... probably could have extracted off the backup.  :'(

I must admit that I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite experience for e-ink visual quality. It’s just lovely. I don’t have nearly the collection I did on Stanza, but I still have plenty to read.

On some websites, I’ve also seen “send to Kindle” recently, which is nice for reading later.

Japanese advertising people have realized YouTube exists, and have begun adding UNSKIPPABLE advertisements, some of which are over a minute. Like, someone at the firm said, “Hey, we need an editor for this advertisement,” but then someone said, “No, fuck it, it’s going on YouTube, let’s just use ALL THE FOOTAGE.”

If I could get some time alone with the guys who’ve put these ads in place, I’d staple their rectums shut.

FWIW I have a paperwhite and I love it. if only it could render color images and graphic novels doe :'(

it's pretty good for manga. 

unfortunately, it seems like the only good manga on U.S. kindle is Gyo by Junji Ito.  I guess 7 Billion Needles is okayish. 

other than that it's all naruto and hentai/yaoi.

japan has Berserk  :'(

Last I checked they had stuff like Lone wolf and Club and shadow assassin on there tho :yeshrug . I have all the drops of god series on Kindle too.

i didn't realize Lone Wolf + Cub was on there.  i guess I should caveat that I don't know shit about manga, but when i look on the amazon store, it looks like a bleak selection.

Torrent manga, transfer it to your device.

You're welcome.

tried it, didn't seem to fit properly.  there are probably ways to fix that, but i'm done learning shit like that :lol

I feel like my crack medical team has unintentionally defeated me the international banker. When you drop a couple hundo on medications you start asking yourself bothersome questions like "Should I really be putting this :trash in my body?"

One of them is Soviet educated so I'd make a Doctors' plot joke at this juncture if y'all hadn't been unappreciative of my Defenestrations of Prague joke in AiA's vacay thread. :bolo

How do you tell your friend that he shouldn't do amateur stand-up again next week because his delivery is really canned? There were a few polite laughs last night since it was his first time but I was laughing my ass off as I always do when someone bombs a joke.

You don't. I know a few comedians and the ones that are successful all admit that they were terribad at the beginning and they needed to fail for a good year or so before they got their delivery/pace down. The problem comes in if your friend thinks he killed it or if he knows he sucked but wants to keep at it.

jesus I had no idea stress could give you some major physiological nastiness as a result... I am double, nay, triple fucked my friends. I could be shitting and vomitting blood any moment :shaq2

Stress can indeed cause physiological conditions. It's bad for your blood pressure, your heart, it can cause muscle cramps especially in the back neck and shoulders, but also commonly in the arms, knees, whatever. Ulcers were recently proven to be caused by bacteria. The researcher who discovered this won a Nobel Prize. If you actually have an ulcer, instead of just an abundance of stomach acid, see a doctor and get some antibiotics.

There's always exceptions but indefinite long-distance is usually a death sentence for relationships. Monogamy is a big sacrifice and you start to question if it's worth it when you're only seeing other on occasion. But more than that, you just tend to grown apart from each other over time, living separate lives like that.

Good luck out there. :goty

That's true, I think he knows he didn't do great but it's the sensitive stage where I want to tell him what he needs improvement on without hurting his feelings. He's just did it for fun.

thanks. i appreciate it.

it's not as bad as i make it. we're planning for me living in the city with her soon, like in april hopefully. then when i'm settled and she's out of the temporary lease she's signed (last minute deal with people she knows) we'll talk about living together. i'm gonna be visiting the last week of march to see the city and look at apartments.

so it's not like we are looking at months a part. still. i'm not used to this. having the gulf of distance, not being able to readily see her whenever. it's just rough on me and it's only been a few days :\

Gotta fly to Raleigh next week.
I have two choices:

Leave a noon and lose most of a work day on the way there but arrive at 10:40pm

Or leave at 7pm, get in a work day, but take a red eye flight with 3 connections and arrive at 8am.

Honestly, I'm leaning towards 7pm.

I only had that happen once when I was a corporate guy. I goddamn did the patented fake black man melt down and nobody did it again. You should do that and if you're not black get one of your black buddies to do it for you. Trust me, nobody will fuck with your shit again.

Aren't you worried they might call the cops?  ???

Speaking of :hans1.

Some of you may recall (though I hope you don't) that I discovered that a popular tax preparation program thinks that the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen still exists (:teehee). Well I've been working with another popular program this year and I finally had the chance to scope out its list of foreign states.

Y'all it was a pedant's wet dream. It doesn't say North Korea or Korea (Pyongyang), it lists the country's full legal name. I was particularly impressed with how descriptive the U.K.'s name was.

So of course what did I do? Look up Yemen.

This program also thinks that the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen exists and is the sole Yemen.

The only logical conclusion to draw from this? That the tax software industry knew about the Houthi insurrection for years. Majestic 12 communicating with software drop lists, it's exquisite in its simplicity.

I no longer know who I am and I feel like the ghost of a total stranger.
