Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.
They had to cut down the company from 15 to 8 employees due to a big client leaving.
I was one of those seven that needed to go. But one of those that got to stay had a year long sabbatical planned and decided to take it earlier. This allowed me to stay, but I only got to hear this about a week or two before I had to go.
I already had some second job interviews planned and attended these anyway for fun. I wasn’t rude, but definitely a lot more casual than your usual applicant :)
That used to be my slacking off game at my first real job. I’d ssh into my computer at home and sneakily play Nethack whenever I got bored. Either that or browse websites with Links.
This was around 2007 and way outside my comfort zone as far as computers were concerned. I felt like such a hacker at the time :)
Nice! It reminds me of the concrete elephants of Almere.
It’s cute because it’s not my screen door :)
Is he calling him Mark Nato yet?
Wow, this gorgeous! I love the detail and composition.
I take a random number around 800 and start to count backwards in increments of 7. It’s kind of tedious and drowns out my other thoughts. I don’t think I’ve ever made it to zero :)
Of course you should use bigger numbers if your math skills are better.
I worked too long for a job that paid way below average. Thinking I didn’t deserve any better.
A flowerpot fell on my head when I was little, on my forehead.
The thing is, I don’t remember this ever happening. There’s a photo of me with a giant bandage, and I still have a scar in the form of some dented skin. But I can’t recall anything from that time.
Maybe it’s because I was like 2 or 3 years old or something. But I find it a little bit unsettling that my memory is a blank.
I’m busy working my way through Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series.
It’s a very dense set of books with a ton of lore, but I’m enjoying it a lot (I’m at the sixth one so far).
The only downside is that I read them on an e-reader and can’t quickly look at all the detailed maps and glossaries whenever I want.
Yes, European :)
But the egg dispenser is something I once 3d printed when it was still a hobby.
Can’t seem to find the original design anymore though.

Oh, I think it’s this one: https://www.printables.com/model/70036-fridge-spiral-egg-holder
We use this thing instead of the carton.

My dad had something even older, but the first computer I got to use was our Wang 286
I remember that post! I had a lot of fun generating people’s usernames :)
I guess we can always do another one?
Looks to me like it’s still standing :)
But comes with body dysmorphic disorder. You’ll never be satisfied with how you look.
First thing that popped into my mind as well.
It was ridiculous how fast it could go through those 6 batteries.
Eventually my parents got sick of having to buy them and I was only allowed to play using a power adapter.
Inattentive adhd. My mind likes to go on little vacations.
