Up we go again.

Can't have it down on the second page. Back up with you!

Yup, more stuff that broke in software transition possibly. I suppose I should go back at some point and strip it to raw text like it originally was. I'm guessing the conversions may not have stripped code out or something.

Last update, 3/31/2014 and still on the front page.

Aaaaand... I can suddenly get back into the TK again while logged in. Really strange. Logged out, no problem. Logged in? Nope. Now it's working. The hamsters are high, I think.

Looks like a bit of the thread's gone missing in the process. It also appears that I'm going to have to find the settings to not thread posts in here. /facepalm

Well, there would likely be more traffic had HC not kept trying to switch forum software on us, driving everyone away.

Dammit. My 2nd-level manager's been in meetings all day and I have a better solution to fix an app than the one she originally proposed. Hurry up and get back to your office, dammit! Wow, these smileys really are awful.

Back up with this one.

That's an animated gif I could watch loop for a while.

Soon. Soon.

Wonder how long Google will have this site listed as a security problem?

And here I was wondering how badly they'd botched the forums. Apparently they either had backups or at least fixed the glitch.

Well, when you cruise around in your Bentley, stop by and say hi to the old boss

Around finals I got "laid off" beacuse I laid into my boss about him going behind my back and treating me disrespectfully in general. Normally I'd be second guessing if I did the right thing or not but I can't honestly think of anywho who has left that company and been on good terms with the boss. So no lost sleep over that, I'm just annoyed I put so much into that job/internship and then got blatantly disrespected. Got an RA with my advisor two days after that. That led to another RA this up coming semester. So getting let go was actually the best thing that happened to me in a while. Plus my advisor isn't an asshole. 2.0 sums up so much. Gotcha It sounds like you got out of a poisonous situation. That's definitely a plus. Glad to hear things are working out for you.

A lot of the assholes in hcbf moved to ebassist and while they aren't like they were here, they're still assholes. While I'm not saying I know why Allen stepped down, I have a good idea why I think he did. It isn't worth my time anymore to say the least. It's just some grey lukewarm place now. Even with some of the HCBF people moving to eBassist, HCBF was doing well until the 2.0 debacle. That sent people flying. Now we've got MC which started off well but doesn't get all that much activity now, HCBF which still has pretty low amounts of activity, and eBassist which seems to have the most activity but still doesn't rival the better days of HCBF. eBassist for me has been hit and miss. A lot of times, I just felt like I was on the outside looking in. I took breaks from the forum and it probably was for the best. Anyway, good to see you around here. I'd wondered what you'd been up to.

That kind of driving bothers me as well. I'll be transitioning from one freeway to another on the way home and the transition starts out as one lane but another lane connects in on the right. It usually has no cars and the left lane's always crawling. Usually I can gun it in the right lane (and it's a highway so no issues on passing on the right, here in Cali) but I've had a few idiots jump out from the left land and not accelerate. The thing I always end up having problems with is multiple turn lanes. There's a street that's 3 lanes at a 3-way intersection; left for left turn, middle for left or right turn, right for right turn. There's a freeway onramp that's requires turning right, then getting into the left lane to turn left. The problem is, most of the time, the people do this making their right turn in the far right lane. I've pissed a number of people off by turning right from the middle lane as they try to drift two lanes over and realize there's someone else there. Had someone honk at me, too. What, for your stupidity in not turning from the correct lane?

Now I hang out here with the tumbleweeds and Thudmaker. They have their moments. I've stayed out of that thread though I've gotten into other threads like that at times. I can understand the break. I've taken them at times as well when I just felt I was on the outside looking in.
