Deep Funk

I'm a big fan of chocolate croissants.

Rossetta Stoned > Vicarious. Don't mean to go total fanboy here but I have always enjoyed the direction that band has been evolving... and yet Ænima has always been my favorite.

^Whoops brain fairt. Meant Faaip De Oiad, the ridiculous alien abduction one.

I'm excited to hear it, but even 10,000 Days took long to come out. And they pretty much did Lateralus all over again with crappier pacing. Haven't heard the new tracks, but it would've been cool for them to do a complete left turn like Kid A, after all these years. But yeah, a good prog rock record is quite enough at this point.

It’s sad, Firefox only has ~4% market share now, they may not be around much longer.

Webkit rendering FTW! Be "Brave" until they fix it?!

Sorry you got your certificates in a wad.

Pale Moon... Looks and feels like Firefox used to do when it was a good browser that didn't just want to be Chrome. It supports the old extensions infrastructure too. Can't say, though, how many developers might not think it worthwhile to support us ff fork users.

I liked Anderson Paak's set at Coachella.

Gotta hear that new Paak album.. heard its good from trusted ears.

@FlySweep it’s good, but a victim of loud mastering.

I find that printing and reading on real paper is way more effective for finding errors than reading on-screen. Not sure why this is.

Terrible when you learn a new language. You must instruct your brain to simply accept that some new words are weird...

Possibly because I was a professional editor for a decade, I ask my wife to proofread my most important emails. There's always one phrase that can be clearer—and I catch it reading over her shoulder.

Hopefully the next job will be a better fit.

The job was a great fit. Ambitious but doable. If ever you need to present yourself for a job and you are 95% certain there will be a screen or projector, prepare those slides and go for it. One dude simply impressed with his tattoos. It was a bit random. Lesson learnt...

That's gross man. Calm down my ass.

I always try to opt for the direct and personal approach. You get many noes but it is possible to catch a big fish. You simply go out there, whether you are the best candidate or not does not matter.

You show up and are motivated enough to face the music. That is risky but unique opportunities do present themselves.

Disagree. I'm OCD about uncertainty. So the anxiety overwhelms the excitement.

I know the feeling. Most of my life is filled with routines and sub-routines. This job hunt is a good opportunity to refine them so I try to enjoy the process. Seriously, at least have that amount of fun with your OCD.

Not a surprise given some of your previous posts....best of luck, I hope better opportunities present themselves soon!

Stupidity cannot be justified by kindness.

I am tired of working at an organisation where I feel stuck. I can do my job flawlessly but there is no joy in it. Some decisions there disgust me but hey I am not in charge. At one point you have to make a decision. At least I am leaving on good terms. That way I can still keep the kind people close as friends...

Rumour has it that Wednesday is coming up. I suppose there is a chance that it is true.

I have a test today and a test Wednesday. After that, im basically done. Spring fling weekend Is this weekend, a weekend of parties. First party starts wednessday after my test.

We like to feign independence, but we are a social species. I hope you can find a good balance...or a better job.

Rock on young friend, live for the experiences now that you'll cherish later when career and income become your primary focus.

@GoodEnoughGear Maybe try Personal Capital or firecalc.com.

@zonto, thoughts on mint?

@elguapo, years ago I tried both Mint and Personal Capital and vastly preferred the latter. Mint felt more budget-focused, and I was tired of seeing red flags and getting emails for going $5 over my allocated grocery budget for the week. Personal Capital is more focused on net worth and tracking investment portfolios, which jives better with my current goals.
