There are pictures of the bridge in the new picture thread, no looks of terror but there are looks of intense concentration. The Antenna was done at night with no lights (for reasons that may be obvious) so no pictures were taken.

I saw the bridge pictures (awesome btw), but I was promised a look of pure terror.

Getting really nervous for my first job interview in about 5 years. Don't want to come off as really needy or desperate to get away from what I currently have, don't want to come off overly self-absorbed, but don't want to be self-deprecating either. Hard to find a balance between humility and confidence.

Belittle the interviewer and tell them the questions they should have asked. It seems to work.
Some games I have no problem replaying. Other games I haven't bothered finished because of the pain in the ass sidequests - I'm looking at you, Final Fantasy X.

Ew, you played FFX and FFX2.
Never finished that, either. Stupid Golden Chocobo.I only made it to the third CD of FF7 last year.I am a bad gamer.
Yep, liked X2 a whole lot more than X though.

This rant will probably only appeal to stienman but it's bugging me today. Since I moved to the commercial world from academia, copylefted libraries are starting to bother me. There's a push to release a lot of scientific libraries under the GPL instead of the LGPL (which allows libraries to be linked with commercial software). A lot of it comes from Richard Stallman, and essays like this one: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html . There's a huge hole in this reasoning though, and I sit squarely in the middle of it. I understand the desire to use proprietary software developer's own weapons against them, but not everyone who develops commercial software has the money to pay for libraries. And since the entire point of this article is that GPL works best when the GNU software in question is unique, that leaves devs with no library budget to reinvent the wheel. Or worse, lie. But it's not the company that suffers, it's the dev. That's the problem this essay fails to see. That's where I am. Product manager of a commercial scientific code, forced to avoid extremely useful code because it's GPL'd, and I have no alternative. I cannot release my software for free, even if I wanted to. It punishes me, not my company.
nah, I kid. I actually thought it was a fun game, since it didn't take itself too seriously.

FF6 was the best!
I loved the scene where that happened in game.

Not sure if this is a ran or whining so I'm taking a bet up in here. Does anyone else hate it when they rearange supermarkets? It is just annoying, and is usually in-CREDIBLY inconvenient. I mean, why would you put bread and bagels in TWO SEPERATE AISLES! When I think Bagels, I think either bread or cream cheese. The bagels were near neither. My assumption is their goin' the Ikea route where they make the lay-out as confusing as possible just so people would looka around more. And yes, that is Ikea's actual business plan. Diabolical, I know.
Part of me hates it, and the other part respects a good capitalistic plan. Still annoying though, but props.
Impulse buys are at the "end-caps" (the shelves at the end of the aisles). Frozen/refrigerated stuff is usually in the back of the store and/or on the edges of the store, as are produce. Staples (bread, cereal, coffee, condiments, etc.) tend to be on one side of the store, in the middle, while housewares and cleaning supplies tend to be on the other.
The location of the staples and housewares/cleaning supplies tend to be moved around a lot - much more than the frozen/fridge stuff, which is more expensive to move.

I am not sure why but stuff isn't moved around much in the grocery stores where I live. Everything is in the same place it has been for years. in fact in some places it could be the same food that has been there for years....
I would take moldy foods over taking me an hour to find bagels.

One time... I couldn't find something in a supermarket... but then I read the signs.
My supermarket hasn't changed the signs. For two months.
Be lucky you don't buy food where I buy food.

You know what irritates me? People who pronounce loan words with the "proper" original pronunciation. It's incorporated into English now, and people have been pronouncing it as an English word for decades. You just sound like a pretentious prick when you pronounce it "correctly".
