  1. I Had A Random Thought...

    I still have some form of that sig, with an apology for shortness/typos, on my work email. It lets customers/coworkers know that I'm not sending a short/abbreviated e-mail because I'm a brusque jerk, I'm just tappin' on a terrible on screen keyboard.

    We're not very serious. Have you tried something like Shazam or SoundHound?

    Honestly, game prog grunt work is a small field filled with eager jobwanters, so it's difficult to get in; I think we've discussed this before, right? That's why I opted for infosec where there's not as much competition and you get to say "Splunk" a lot. I feel your pain though, Twig. If I knew of any openings I'd tell ya. What's your main language?

    Only because you can't think of any puns, I'll bet.

    I'm doing well. I was a light smoker at best, and only smoked cloves, so the transition to "sweet tasting vapour" was easy. My smoking was so situational that I could go 2-3 days without a cigarette but as soon as a situation popped up (driving, or after a meeting) where I'd usually smoke, I found it very hard to stop myself. Having the e-cig, plus my apartment complex's ban on smoking anywhere on the premises (even outside) helps. I know realistically I've just swapped addictions from analogues to e-cigarette, but I feel like this gives me more flexibility to step down the nicotine until it's 100% psychological/behavioral addiction and 0 physical dependence. P.S. Do not watch Mad Men until you are months clean. That damn show's early seasons press my smoking buttons so hard.

    I suspect you don't yet quite understand how most of these posters operate.

    I want to invite someone round to our home, but we have way too much "stuff" in too little a space. One of my New Years decisions was to not buy anything (except consumables like food/drink/medication, or things required for work/safety) for a month. After that month is up I'll see if I can stretch it further.

    Take it in small amounts of time. Say to yourself "I will not have nicotine for the next five minutes." Five minutes without nicotine is easy! You can do that without even thinking about it! Then, do it again, just another 5 minutes... etc.

    I did not ask the "in 5 years" or "why do you want this job" questions.

    Just got done with a job interview. For the first time ever, I was the one doing the interviewing. I have no idea whether this person would be a good fit or not, I don't think I'm a good judge of that sort of thing :/

    In the interest of widening my musical landscape, I created a "Dubstep" channel on Pandora, and listened to it for 30 minutes. :/

    To my mind, the best portable vape right now is the Arrizer Solo. It's a little longer than the Pax and doesn't look like an Apple device but the vapor path is all-glass so it's easy to clean/reclaim. There's a newer vape called the Da Vinci that's also got an all-glass vapor path and might be good, but the first manufacturing run had a lot of problems so uptake on the second run is low. PM me if you want more deets so we don't clog up this thread. FYI I use my vape for marijuana, which is prescribed for my RSI. I don't know if it is any good for actual tobacco. A podcast where Sean and Chris take us to task for clogging up the forum with useless posts: Chiding Thumbs.
