Tappity-tip-tap...
Kinda normal for me.
This is the week where things go sideways and weird. Customer wants to do a demo for their customer with our product... which they've never used before.
Heh.
The first snowstorm of the season is coming tomorrow morning so I emptied the garage and pulled out the mothballed snowplow blade that I've never used and… it's not a snowplow blade! @#$! It's a scraper blade which is in the same thing at all. For one thing,, because on the back of the tractor instead of the front. For another, it's only about 18 inches high whereas a snowplow blade should probably be double that.
In fairness, the tractor came with a whole bunch of accessories that I wasn't even planning on getting. I definitely don't blame the seller. It's my fault for not having taken a close look at what I was putting away for five years.
So I guess in the market for a John Deere snowplow blade. I wonder what they sell for?
It's a good thing I have that $80 snowblower. I don't think there will be any accumulation tomorrow, but soon enough. Soon enough.
And THAT (my previous post) is what happens when you write a message with Dragon Naturally Speaking and post it without proofreading. My bad...

Hi LS.. Unemployment and time to reflect might be very good for the
soul.. But what does one see when one reflects?

I would imagine the steadily emptying bank account reflects brighter
than anything else.
severence package takes care of that nicely
Ouch, apologies for my previous post.
At first I really thought it could sound like a more "random chat" question since I wasn't asking for support or wanting to go full technical. I see it was moved to the Development room. I think I miscalculated. Sorry and thanks.
Hope we can go back to XMPP discussion eventually as well.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons. They are shopping for ketchup and do not want to take dictation for you.
Well, some bad news...
... I got a job. At least I'm drawing two paychecks simultaneously until severance runs out.
What have you been up to?
Hi, good to be back in touch.
Not much. We have two cats, they are adorable. That takes up most of my time.
I have a job, I write mostly lots of python and some javascript.. u know.. jQuery, CSS, postgres, that kind of shit. It's not a particularly glamorous job, I should get a different one but I don't. Instead I play with the cats and watch The Great British Baking Show.
I don't do lighting anymore, or work on any theatre at all for around 10 years now. We go to the theatre sometimes. I also stopped doing lighting for parties, now I have a sound system that goes pretty loud.. I still work on parties now and then with the sound system, and DJ.. but not as much as I used to. We (my S.O. and I) used to work on lots of psytrance parties but we don't enjoy them as much as we used to so we do that just a little bit. Now we like techno and go to techno parties where we know hardly anyone and are just spectators, and it's a nice change.
Oh yea, I got a new camera just the other day. Fuji X-T20. New to me, anyway. It took me a couple of years to decide what camera to get this time and I am still not sure I made the right choice, but it's pretty awesome so far. I've taken many cat pix already :)

Merging into an anonymous crowd is a cool thing. I've been going to The Get Down lately, and really enjoying their style. They also usually do a partner dance class to kick off the evening. We're also going to Orbital soon.
Welcome back!
Hi mr IGnatius.
By chance, still heavily buried deep into work?
I must say, even when I have been having ugly weeks, the Development room has certainly been empty...
