So, my 11-year-old daughter watched me scroll through this thread, saw this pic, and said, "What the heck? Somebody built the London Bridge out of Legos? You guys really are nerds!"

Today I worked on my tan.

B9(185): that's what tipped her off? did you tell her that's not the London bridge at least? no bridge across the top.

My response was more like this:



Cuz nothing says "nerd" like using internet memes in real life.

Designing and coding an editor for easy creation of new enemy types in my RPG. Might do an editor for item creation as well, if I can manage to be productive enough.

Resisting a change to this JSP project because somebody else's Kerberos setup is wonky. Refactoring the majority of the project because the design is... interesting. Later, more Clojure practice and statistics work!

On my lunch break I did a little work on Eyes of the Dragon, have the hooks in for combat. Next step is to actually do some fighting, the fun part of the game.

Now it is back to work on interfacing our software with VB.NET to fix some issues a client is having with scripts.

working on an online alcohol class for my college...did you know that one of the primary reasons incoming freshmen who took the AlcoholEdu course didn't drink is becuase alcohol is fattening? good stuff.

Trying to create and work with a 55 million record file. It seems to be causing system problems.

I'm having a very odd day.

In the span of an hour, I've had to:

~help someone figure out how to enroll

~explained to that same user that just because they want their classes on a certain day at a certain time does not mean that the classes will be that way

~not kill a bloody entitled user who told same user that I was helping that she had been talking for 10 minutes non-stop (I had been helping her that entire time)

~tell a random lady that called in looking for a close friend of hers that used to come up here and is now dying of skin cancer that there wasn't really a way I could help her. Yes, I'm sure he was a very friendly guy who was an Elvis impersonator and had really dark hair. Yes, I'm glad he helped you get your GED and tutored you through the mail. No, I cannot find him by his username, nor can I track down his location. I would recommend trying Google or Facebook or the like. I'm sorry I wasn't more help.



I understand that our primary job is to assist users. If they can't get into their account, then we can help them. If their laptop is exploding with a virus, we can help them. If they need help getting email on their phone, we can help them.

We are not a detective agency. We cannot magically know where someone is. I do not know what 'minor electives' for a Criminal Justice major are. That's a question for your adviser. I know you don't like your adviser and you've never been able to trust them, but it's not a question I can answer.


TL;DR: Some days, IT Support makes me want to go postal.

Making small but definite advances on an Application. Currently transferring fields/data from one table to another in SQL Server 2008 and dealing with the ensuing headaches of my Application yelling at me because it cannot find the coded fields.
