    Yeah, it's coming down pretty hard here, too. It's only supposed to add up to a coating to two inches today. I'm more concerned about the big one coming on Monday. Again. >:-(

    Geebus.. I was thinking in getting a degree in sound design.. but the classes are $1500 each! :ahhh: And that's cheaper than on-campus! :ahhh:

    Sure, it's Berklee, one of the top music schools in America, but still.. how can anyone afford to go to college?!?!?!?

    $1500 will get me a new laptop and all the educational books I could need. This is stupid. :blank:

    Is making an eyebrow ring for Gianni easy as creating a torus primitive and parenting it to his face?

    Bored, bored, bored. :blank: Completely at a dead standstill.

    I need help from the hardware guy, who is recently out of back surgery and spending lots of time at home healing, there's no backup hardware guy. I've done all I can without him.

    This project needs 2 software guys and 2 hardware guys. The company is too cheap to get anyone else in. :shut:

    Worse, the project manager (not my boss, thank heavens) is a micromanaging bozo that, as the projects drags on, gets worse and worse and when he's not on travel comes into my cube ONCE AN HOUR to ask how things are going. :shut:

    He's panicked because the FIRST version of the FIRST board of the FIRST product like this that the company has ever attempted has first-version issues. :blank: He has ZERO experience in software, software development, hardware development, or even a concept of what the software/hardware development life cycle. :blank: He flat-out told me "I don't want to know, I just tel you when I want it and you handle the rest". :blank:

    I've already informed the company that I'm not interested in joining full-time any longer. :blank: Once we ship this sucker, I'm gone. Probably back to California for a couple of years while I produce a commercial product in C#/.NET to gain street credit.

    That's how I became a game developer - wrote and put out my own games, leveraged it into a real job. Heh.

    This whole affair is epically stupid. They've fired 3 people in the past 3 months, all mechanical engineers. The fired the ENTIRE engineering team before they brought me and my hardware guy in. :ahhh:

    Maybe San Diego! :cheese:


    Quite rant-worthy! it's tough working with over-seers that have no idea what quality software is all about.

    On my first contract job, I had to deal with software set up in FoxPro for DOS. It was for a collection agency. There were a few before me. Each one quit. I was working for a small consulting business who sent me out to look at the problem(s) and fix it. it was an ongoing project. I was flabbergasted by what the previous contractors had done. They set up a system that was in progress, and allowed them to put in live data! But wait, there's more! Upon my investigations, I found absolutely no data validation whatsoever! This is a financial system. There were transactions with dates that were before the company existed, before PCs existed. There were transactions that will have taken place in the future, the distant future. There were transactions that took place in limbo...no date at all! There were transaction code columns left empty, or with characters that were not any defined code. And all the while I was dealing with this, I also had changing specifications and new module requests being made. After consideration, I advised my boss that the system was too screwed to keep. I advised him that it would be better to start it from scratch, only keeping most of the data structure, but cleansing the data. He agreed. That went on for a year. My boss finally told them that there would be no further modification requests honored and new modules. He was quite tired of the guy, too. I finished up and left them with a working system, one that even printed custom checks. At least it left me with experience for when I looked for permanent (I use the term loosely, since that concept doesn't seem to exist anymore) employment. And it gave me a few "war stories". :smirk:

    complaint: miss call from doctor's office because relatives too lazy to answer the phone for me. Caller ID even showed the name of the doctor's office on the screen. Arg.. I was in the bathroom. I just heard the voice message. I only have like 45 minutes to call them before secretary leaves the doctor's office. Ok, later.

    It's a miracle how companies like this manage to stay afloat for any length of time :blank:

    Reminds me of how two Indie games on Steam went though. Primal Carnage and Stomping Lands.... Absolutely awful developers, but the games were hyped up so much simply because "pretty looking dinosaurs". They both went under pretty damn fast, the former only got back up because a new team picked the project up after those that started it bailed on it (after picking up the profits of course), but unlike the former owners they've been pretty friendly with the userbase and the people doing the coding/animating/etc for them. The last team? Heh, not really. Was clear their hearts weren't in it, just looking for some quick cash before dropping it and running, the new team looks to honestly want it to succeed and has been doing a lot better.


    Also got a gifty from an artist I admire quite a bit just earier, really wasn't expecting it at all but it was quite touching to me :)
    I'd post the pic it was in response to, but with no mature tags on the forums I'm reluctant to. Some blood n stuff, first "vent art" I've ever really done too!

    "Wounds will heal" . Yes. Sooner or later they do. I dunn what happened but RaeThalis drew this picture and wrote the comment. Got me really emotional :<.<br /> I am always bad in words. Specially in those situations so Oliver gives Dilo fluffy love and a plaster so he will be soon on his feet again. :)

    hope everything will be soon alllright again Rae *hugs* :>


    The comment he's referring to was the description I wrote in for my submission
    "All within me gone but pain and hope
    Hoping that the pain would fade away"

    Was been a really miserable week for me, this gifty really lifted my spirits a ton ^^

    Morning. Hot air balloons in red pink and orange to match the afterdawn-streaked sky drifting over rooftop and tree venting big noisy flaming gas into their gigantic gasbags :)

    Wonderful morning sight. When I lived in Houston we would run out to the yard whenever we heard the whoosh of the gas.

    There is a town in New Hampshire, in the White Mountains area, on Rt. 16, that has a Hot Air Balloon festival every year. We happened upon it one year and hung around looking for a little while. Such a site.

    Dana

    Ballooning is a big deal here I guess because the country is so flat so there's not much to run into :)
