I'm not entirely sure why the dev->QA->prod question is such a huge question. It's standard environment architecture. No one external is pressuring us to do this. It's best practice. We're not being extorted by anyone.

This conversation is going around and around and I don't get a single convincing solid argument other than price. And price doesn't make it more less stable.

Yeah there's even a magazine out, I don't remember the name, but on it says something like "Catch the latest fad! Steampunk" and has lots of different crafts - beading, paper carft (like journals and altered books), mixed media, scrapbooking, etc.

You know, there's a point at which I don't want to know. Just.... ew. There is no possible explanation that isn't TMI.

I'm not following any of those links. t twitches

Happy birthday, Anne!

Now I've squicked myself.

Self-tanner makes more sense than some other things I could imagine.

Maybe I'll head to Michael's when I get my tax refund. Which means I need to do the taxes.

Everyone cross your fingers for me: thanks to a friend, I've got a job lead at Isilon. C'mon giant tech company, I know you need editors!

Fingers crossed, Jilli. You need a break and Giant Tech Company needs a housegoth!
