  1. Yes. Scotty got a job at TTG just so he could pick up his reward. Some might say that's a bit far to go for a joke, but I say that's just dedication.
  2. By the hammer of Thor!

    Hahahahaha. Hahahahahah. Oh, that LARGE HAM line never fails to crack me up. Hahaha. Ham.
  3. Is it too late to change shipping addresses? Shammack could now conceivably pick his rewards up in person and save you some dollars.

    is it because you're a psychopath
  5. Happy Birthday!

    Happy birthday Shammack, the best husband and cinematic/layout artist anywhere.
  6. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    I need one of these to determine whether I actually had Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome.
  7. CLOP

    It got "fighty" and "deraily" (not just "internetty") and then a horse cried. Not to worry! You can rerail the thread by posting about CLOP! (Merge requesssst.)
  8. Idle Hooves: CLOP

    It's good advice for husbands, wives, and Idle Thumbs forum participants of any gender.

    Oh, Toblix. You never fail to sound almost plausible. IA is an abbreviation for Information Architecture. It's the stuff that comes before you fire up OmniGraffle to start prototyping: the task analysis, the workflows, the wayfinding, the classification, structural design and blueprinting before you even start thinking about buttons and spans and divs. The part of UX that benefits most from a librarian. SiN: I have a M.Sc., which I finished this spring. However, I've been at the coalface of large-scale data system design for 7 years now, and I was doing UX stuff and collecting piles of Donald Norman essays even before I finished undergrad. So... both?

    I'm a Jill-of-all trades, in a fairly even split between: UX/UI/IA diva (i.e. architecting, prototyping, wireframing, and designing for usability) with many hours spent OmniGraffling Web developer with (L/M/W)AMP experience, specializing in useless languages like ActionScript and PHP with a little ASP(X), plus a history with C/++ and the obligatory JavaScript/jQuery monkey DBA for mySQL and MS SQL Server, and Technical writer/trainer. The project was a Flash app pulling from an extensive mySQL DB, so the couple of screenshots I have might not be representative. Worth a try, though, since it's that or spend the next month with Eclipse and the mysql> prompt. Most of my other work - the sitepaths and prototypes and manuals and such - is NDA-ed or otherwise restricted.

    I started putting stuff in my "pls giev me job" portfolio, only to find that the client for my biggest freelance project has already replaced my work with something crappier. This makes me feel terrible about the quality of my work, and also means I can't put it in my portfolio because I don't have the resources (or, I suspect, the right) to host a clone. Maybe I can use my copious free time to write something better! Except that project took about 300 hours and I need a portfolio now, plus I have no free time because I spend it all applying for jobs and writing reviews. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU
  15. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    If the docs confirm anxiety, I'd look into some short course of cognitive-behavioral and/or mindfulness therapy, if you can. Both are helpful for anxiety.
  16. I'm guessing it's also the problematic artwork. Looking at QoP's art (not QWOP art) made me feel the same shame/uncomfortableness as American Apparel ads and the response Sarkeesian got to her "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games" kickstarter. (Cue "Feminism" thread.)
  17. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    Also possible! But if you contradict doctors, they start asking which board certified you and then call the police.
  18. Idle Hooves: CLOP

    I was expecting I'd have an advantage at this, having been a horse-mad girl and therefore knowing the cadence and pacing of the gaits (walk is a 4-beat, trot a 2-beat, canter a 3-beat) and being able to translate that into key-presses. Nnnnnnnnnnnope.
  19. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    I have the "SERVER'S DOWN" one as my desktop. Also, that's the stuff:
  20. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    (B12 is water-soluble, so chances are you're whizzing away most of the excess and wasting money.)
  21. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    Huh. Erm. Could you be short on intrinsic factor or have Chron's interfering with your absorption of cobalamin?
  22. Actually, it appears Dot Gobbler is being chased around by multiple Hungry Horaces, which would be a bit of a turnabout.
