Some guy's going to jump out of a plane tomorrow from 25k feet without a parachute, live on Fox.... because people are stupid.

He's aiming for a giant net on the ground (the net looks to be half a football field in size), but so many variables. Not gonna watch it but will check the aftermath when they scoop his body off the ground with a giant spatula.

When he collides with the net it will cut him into a brownie shaped pieces.

Human brownie anyone.

Pleasantly surprised at the amount of Win3.1-era software and files that are still on the internet, and not just through archive.org...

 

Currently reliving my childhood by blaring a midi of RHCP's "Under the Bridge" (which was always my favorite midi during that time period) through the emulated Soundblaster 16 that DOSbox is configured as.

So a few hours ago, I got shot at! I witnessed a fight going down between two Mexican gangbangers and some other guy. The poor fucker managed to flee and one of the fucks pulled out a revolver, fired two shots towards that guy, then turned towards me and emptied out the rest of his cylinder. I haul ass into the dispensary I was heading to, since they're staffed with armed guards, and they yank me in straight to the back and lock the fuck down.

What a wonderful way to acquire a new patient, eh? I got some free stuff to help with the potential PTSD once the adrenaline shock fully wears off.

Yo fam I once got a sawed off put in my face but the dude never squeezed. 

You're lucky you are so skinny you probably just turned sideways and the bullets went right past you.

Jesus fucking Christ, 6, I'm glad you're ok. And I'm also glad the son of a bitch got what was coming to him.

Get AIMP

Download 8MBGMSFX.SF2 Sound Blster Live! soundfont.

Load that into the midi player settings for sound font selection

Enjoy your old school MIDI in a much better sounding MIDI format, on modern operating systems, emulation required.

That's not as much fun as running Win3.1 on my tablet via DOSbox though.

Fuck
I finally got access to a student group chat for the university I'm headed to 
and now I'm actually a tad nervous to say hi. Which is weird because that's not how I usually am 
See, my typing style is strange and all the guys are acting laddish and bantery

Show of hands: Who else has felt nervous about saying hi to people online?

Usually the initial time when I enter a chat, but generally its pretty easy to fall into an easy conversation with at least one or two people.

Just gotta be confident. You're just another person, not an eight legged spider being.

Yeah! I'm being.. that
I think
I've said a few things, all of which were entirely ignored
Reason being this chat is quite old and I only just joined it, so everyone knows each other already
I can say "Oh hey" but they're all just talking amongst each other about private things I don't understand

I feel like, if you say something in a group chat and it's blanked, you have a refresh rate until it's acceptable to pitch in again
Anyone else get that?

Honestly I think you're imagining things, you're not going to be shunned. Say hi, jump into the conversation when its on something you at least sorta know. Like, if they're discussing videogames or something, pitch in. You're just people talking over the internet.

You'd think with my long absence I'd bring some good news back, but alas no such luck.

Yes. It can be very nerve-wracking. 

It's a learned skill tho, so you'll get better at it.

But yeah, best advice is just jump in and roll with it.

I feel awkward interacting with my RL friends online, especially gaming with them. It's inevitable that a furry friend will want to join and, well... you don't cross the streams.

Hey, I had you in group calls with my friends when we were all playing TF2 and stuff

That went fine

Correction: I don't cross the streams. Not because furries are too weird for my friends... It's the other way around.

Excuse me I am a giant 8 legged spider being. And soon, I shall rule over all you puny humans!!!

Whoops, I should have not said that out loud.

We now have a list of 31 database tables that will instantly lock our accounts if we try to access them, despite the DB already being setup to block us from returning results. There is no excuse for this.

Yesterday, I spent 20 minutes creating activity requests and getting approvals, just to run a quick TEST QUERY in the TEST DATABASE! Just because some moron wants to strictly follow the new process in this testing envirinment (despite this never being necessary before.) Followed by a meeting to discuss why we're behind on our work items and the beurocrat informing me that  the client is grumpy about that task not being the way they want it after 4 weeks.

I swear, I am already looking for a new job, but if they keep this up I'm going to quit without lining up a new one first! >:(

Is this a case of the classic "aloof upper management" who considers computers a form of sorcery?

No, its the beurocratic micromanage-y kind that are afraid of people doing ANYTHING without submitting a form in triplicate and want to manage based on a dashboard and some numbers, rather than by people and situations.

I bet they were popular in high school.

Another delightful meeting. It largely revolved around how to make the task management tool reflect the reality of trying to force through changes out of cycle. Very productive :V

But, there was at least some discussion of task implementation details. I was able to provide a simpler, more effective solution that better fits our system, on a colleague's task on the fly. Yeeeaaaah! B)

So, as is the yearly custom, I will spend august at my pa's hometown. Usually I hated having to go there, but this time I don't mind. After all, I'm in the countryside, the area is tranquil and devoid of people that aren't us, my paternal relatives make orgasmic food, I get to play with my good ol' PS2 games. I'll also bring my crappy yet still functional laptop, even though internet connection there tends to be flimsy. We're gonna fix that though: a quality router as well as a range extender are coming with us.

My dad will with all certainty force me to go out to town. It's during the evening that he travels that speck of road (one, two miles tops) separating us from the place. The town is one of those typically isolated traditionalist ones, the townsfolks aren't my kind of people. They're just different and I don't feel like I fit in. My pa insists I go out. I don't want to. I'd tell him why but I know him well enough to foresee he'll think I'm only pulling out excuses. I know he means well, that he wants me to go out at least there since I never do at home, but those times I did sucked. I will go on family outings but that's gonna be it

On another time, I fapped so much 2-3 days ago that I came like 6 times, all in the same session. That's a new record!

My fap record is 9 times in one day. I called it the Great Fappening of June 2014.
