That's certainly a possible explanation. Another possible explanation is that management hires people expecting them to grow and take on more duties, then ask for help when they need it. The difference is what happens when you go to management and ask for help. Your manager may honestly not know what you're doing or what you can handle. Really, it's the adult thing to do.

10 days or 14?

Be brave little one, you've made it this far. Here's, and cheers, to your future.

cool beans dude!

Thank you. That was definitely a memorable, and much appreciated weekend. And that Mongolian BBQ? Wow was that good. Need me some more of that.

The coffee? Hilarious.

The tornado? Haha, sorry, but you freaked out and I didn't think it was suck a big deal. But we did get to hang out some more at the gaming/internet cafe.

And I don't know that the box set was too overpriced. But even if that's the case I still would have bought it. I love that box set to death. I've watched it so many times. And I had a blast getting to watch almost all of it with you. Though I still feel bad that we were so close to the end and couldn't finish it together.

I hope you're doing well also.

Take care.

Even if you weren't using IE6 I would wish you good luck in finding anything. I'm lost as well.

sweet sweet!

Go to your profile and hit the little pencil icon next to it. You can hide your friends list from there. (Thanks to another /. commenter, who pointed this out to me.)

BTW, make sure you lock down the settings on what your friends' apps can see, unless you trust them not to accidentally add malware.

Thanks for the pointer. I'd been looking all over for that. I'd also suggest checking out the settings on what your friends' apps can see in your profile; it's very open by default.

Really, you would turn down an applicant on the basis of something which may very well be a health condition or religious conviction? For your own sake, I hope your comment doesn't end up online or anything...

(Seriously, I hope you're kidding here. People don't drink for a lot of reasons. It just means they don't drink.)

Slashdot friends = 32

Multiply friends = 18

Facebook friends = 75 (and I have tried to keep only those I personally know and want to keep in touch and know will reciprocate and not just add me randomly because their brothers sister's fish got eaten by the school hamster which was then eaten by the school bully which you heard about 8 years after you graduated)

And by the looks of it Multiply updates haven't really been that plentiful, and I haven't been there in a while. I think last time was late July? Either way, it's been a couple months and I only had what seemed like a small handful of stuff to go through. Not to mention I don't believe we're connected over there.

Sounds like I should finally give in and delete the slashdot account. Maybe the Multiply one as well. "No goodbye's, no see ya-later's, just gone. Left. No nothing. That's what I think about between the 10 seconds when I pull up to the curb and get to your door. I don't know much, but I know that."

This kind of feels like I'm about to start a flame war, but I wasn't aware that Synergy couldn't do multiple monitors on multiple screens. In fact, I have a friend at work whom I know has many multiple monitors and machines and I believe he is only using Synergy.

Now I could be wrong, maybe he is using Synergy+, but I'm pretty sure that you just have to add the names and locations of screens into Synergy. Unless they're is some kind of limitation when you throw linux into the mix. That's not to say that having another project that branched off and has contributed to, and improved upon, an existing piece of software that has gone silent isn't a good thing. In fact, that warms the cockles of my heart. I always wished I could contribute more. I keep telling myself I will, but can never fine the time. Seems like those skills I wanted to enhance might not ever see the light of day. At least until I perfect my current set for my job and part of my personal life. I guess that's the next step up I've been waiting for. And to clear that up I mean coding more and having it feel more natural. I can still code some, but they still feel kiddy-ish.

If I didn't know better, I'd suspect that you were trying to get all the women around here to come out of the woodwork...
