This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread!

this might be troll level 99, but if not....

There was a 3D remake project that got C&D'd, but that little note is how you deal with companies that do those kinds of things. You don't announce that you're working on it formally, don't release anything until its done, and don't put your name in the credits.

Remember, once something is on the internet its on the internet forever. All the C&D Letters in the world wouldn't get this off torrent sites if it was actually done.

I got another free laptop today at work, this one's pretty badass, not as much CPU power as my i5, but it does have an integrated AMD Mobility Radeon 4200 which the i5 lacks, with an integrated Intel video chipset.

I ordered my i7 Toshiba almost three months ago. The Wing IT guys are so slow, it'll be replaced by the time I actually receive it.
Last time they said they couldn't order in my switches in time for my deadline, six weeks out. I went direct and had my stuff in five days.

Ouch.


I need to acquire a replacement keyboard and the panel that contains the touchpad, the former owner's daughter spilled Chinese take-out on the keyboard and it leaked around so badly that the undercarriage on the inside, underneath, around and part of the DVD-drive and part of one of the side-mounted USB I/O boards were corroded - I had a coworker take a pic of it, hopefully he emails it soon. The pic is the lower right hand corner of the base, silver area on upper right is the DVD drive, all rusted around it. (For those who may not have seen a laptop inside before)

I own a MBP, but I have six work laptops, ranging from ruggedized and milspec P4s to brand new i7s (whenever I get it).
I also manage a number laptop-related projects at work and get to play with a huge range of models.

Price aside, the MBP is the best built laptop that I have used. The 13" base model is fantastic, however the prices for any upgrade is insanely stupid. Retained value is as well, you loose about $100 off ticket price a year on a MBP.

Top speed SSD's (Read: 490MB/s+ write / 550MB/s+ read / 85,000 IOPS) are a c.hair over $1/GB now.

Now, if my meeting with my manager and the V.P. goes well tomorrow, I'll hopefully A) Be able to afford to turn my grow lights back on B) Be able to afford a nice 90/120GB SSD and C) Not be classified as "poor ass motherfucker"

Well, I didn't get exactly what I was asking for, but it's only $0.50 less, so I can't really complain at all.


Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go pick up my white widows and get this shit rollin' again.


I also want to point out at this juncture that the monthly rental fee for the VDS I rent for brb.u would have covered my grow light hit on the power bill, I was about to had already resigned myself to giving up weed for a year so you all can have a Mumble server and replays on TF2.


...... Which brings me to another point. Next to none of you motherfuckers even bother downloading replays, ever. I don't care if you never even watch them yourself, start hitting F6 more you nitwits, I expect to see 400% more hits on my webserver for replay downloads from now on. My idle server pulls more hits per week for achievement_idle.bsp than red does for /replays

This video improved my everything.

Tech support remoted in to people at RED Cameras. Pop pop pop, updated firmware for three external RAIDs being run from a macbook.

Tech support remoted in to roddenberry.com, purveyors of space opera. Even if Gene isn't around, his user account was still the default. I got to work in his online presence.

Got my informal performance review this year, yesterday: "Happy birthday. Keep up the good work."

It made my year  8)

Downed 4 shots of Jager in short order like half an hour ago or so, about to embark on eating some of the 6 hot wings I have in the fridge that are slathered in Bhut Jolokia sauce.

After the recent hot stuff stint in the Pictures thread I had to get some when I took my dad out for dinner last night because I could afford to do so instead of ahving $3 to my name that isn't already accounted for this month.

Gonna see if this belongs in the Made my day thread or the FML thread in an hour.  8)

Last day of filming for the semester. Now all I have to worry about it getting my stuff processed, telecined, and edited!

I went running today around the neighborhood and my 3 mile time was about 25 minutes which is pretty good for a first run (in preparation for a 5k this August). My pace was too fast initially though and I started to feel terrible around the 2 mile mark.
I'm going to aim for a 21 minute 5k but honestly, I'd be happy just to complete it since long distance running was never my forte.

being a pot who likes to call kettles black, why did you classify it as "neat" and then ignore the neat thread?
