    For the past couple years some kids on twitter have been harassing me about wanting my screenname. I say 'harassing' loosely... more like being consistently annoying. :)

    I'm @PonyBoy just like here on QBN and I have no intention of ditching the name. I've been requested by a number of folks over the years for the name... but nobody could ever give me a good enough reason (other than they just wanted the name) for me to give it up... so I've kept it.

    Anyway... a day or two ago one of them went too far and got a bunch of his / her buddies to begin reporting my screenname for various false shit. I got wind of it because some of his friends are too stupid to type his 'ponyboy' name correctly so some of their tweets come directly to me... hehe.

    My dorky business side took hold of me today and I went through all the tweets and checked through all their various shared / public tweets and have thoroughly documented what they're up to and went ahead and forwarded it to twitter... i expect nothing to come of it as it's just kids being stupid.

    It's funny though cuz the main clown behind getting a bunch of twitter users to report me is a cocky little fuck. Here's this afternoon's brief conversation:

    ------------
    Me: Buy it... else stop crying. :)

    Him: why would I buy something I can steal so easily

    strange... end of my last post was cut off?

    Me: Buy it... else stop crying. :)

    Him: why would I buy something I can steal so easily

    Me: good luck with that :) If you think by having folks falsely report me for nothing will get you what you want you are mistaken :)

    Him: I have friends that can take @'s

    • CUT IT OFF AGAIN... lol... what gives QBN devs? :)PonyBoy
    • oh shit... it's some stupid emoji ascii fucking it upPonyBoy

    Me: Buy it... else stop crying. :)

    Him: why would I buy something I can steal so easily

    Me: good luck with that :) If you think by having folks falsely report me for nothing will get you what you want you are mistaken :)

    Him: I have friends that can take @'s (evil emojii) don't think I won't take yours

    Me: every last comment you make to me is now being forwarded to twitter: (linked to screengrab)

    Him: dm need to talk to you

    That's where we left off an hour or so ago... hehe... kids. :)

    amazon is the best.

    I bought a bunch of paint supplies last week. The white gesso container broke open spilling onto the black gesso container, some inks, stapler, staples, paint, sumi brush set, almost everything in the box.

    All of it still perfectly usable and unstained. I don't even have to wash it, everything came wrapped in thin plastic.

    Upon calling it in to get the gesso replaced, the woman asked if anything had gesso on it.

    I listed everything with gesso on it.

    She replaced everything with gesso on it.

    Even the 48 tube paint set... the one with a little white gesso on the box, the one with 48 paint tubes that are perfectly fine inside.

    I asked if I need to send all this "damaged" stuff back.

    She said no.

    I shut up.

    Oh hai, Architect Peeps and Engineer Guy. I see this housing competition has a shit load of landscaping work. What's that? You took inspiration from the High Line and that street in Copenhagen? That's cool - generic and obvious, but cool. One question - why do none of the render views that have been chosen show any part of the landscape scheme? I mean, if it is meant to be such a -large- part of the proposal, the least we could do is make it the main focus of one of the images - y'know front and centre - masses of trees and plants and kiddies playing. Oh, sorry, it is in the images? There, way in the background all distorted to fuck because you choose an 18mm camera? That's cool Engineer Guy, real cool.

    Wife and I are trying to buy a new house before our condo is actually listed for sale in June. Clinging to a thin shred of hope that the dream house we found two weeks ago, which is already contingent with a buyer, falls through on that sale and we can be ready to go with a backup offer. Such incredible stress...

    • it's just money and stuff.
      you got this man.
      imbecile
    • I just finally sold a house in PA, when I live in AL, owned a house and a condo at the same time, talk about stressful.
      ********
    • Yep. I didn't think we'd be moving out of the city until next summer. We've got great credit and no debt (other than our condo) so I'm hoping all goes smoothly.mg33
    • It's just weird to be trying to get a second mortgage before the place sells, especially if there's overlap with paying for two places at once, which would suckmg33
    • 6 months of overlap for me, I was paying right around $4K per month for both. granted I sold it for a ton of profit, but still, IT SUCKED BADLY

    they upped the rent of our office by 10k for next year.. boss man is moving the company an hour further out from my location.. could be a 2.5 hour drive to work in LA traffic. somehow i was just told this, tripped out for a minute then went to my office to find a email from a old coworker offering me a web dev position +3 extra/hr

    looks like its time to say fuck this place

    First really nice day up here so I dug out my shorts. None of them fit anymore gained a lot of that winter weight. Maybe I should not drink as much beer or like run or something.

    Been learning UE4 (Unreal Engine 4) the past few weeks and I think i got the hang of it, for app development at least. It has some nice UI tools but getting it to read JSON data required extra plugin and some custom code.

    Anyone else messing with it?

    what happened with the sealed door continuity?

  • i_monk0

    Started French lessons on Duolingo. Haven't studied it in 20 years, but apparently I'm 27% fluent. But I'm really not liking how lessons are structured – they ask you to translate a sentence before telling you what the key words mean (e.g. today: celui, cela, ceci, ceux, celles), so big surprise when you get it wrong.

    • that ceuxyurimon
    • Use the French keyboard on your phone. Spellcheck helps.nb
    • missed the pun.yurimon
    • Nice. I'm using it for italian. I'm liking it so far.Gnash
    • French is a complicated lauguage, so many exceptions and rules and grammar shit. English is really easy compared to it.Bennn
    • N'abandonne pas i_monk, tu vas y arriver! :)Bennn
    • I downloaded it hoping to refresh and continue my Korean, which I found easier than French.i_monk
    • I gave up on Duolingo for trying to learn Italian—couldn't gel with it at all. Now I just get drunk and gesticulate wildly. Which, to be fair, I've always done.detritus
