I swear, once I saw my webcam light blink out of the corner of my eye, and I almost set my laptop on fire. And then installed remote control software on my father's computer, BUT I NEVER USE IT. I think he knows it's there...
The webcam related stuff that grossed me out was the PC rental company alleged to be recording customers: [link] including sex and naked minors and stuff. 14 year olds with unsecured internet connections are one thing, but...just ick.
In continuing news of how low my bar can go, I thought my cold was gone today. I can't breathe through my nose, but "not clawing my face off" was such a big win I forgot some of the other symptoms.
Steph--I ended up buying a tie from that site you said Tim was shopping from. Enough Macy's. Nothing exciting or geeky, but I needed one in cream, so I got this [link] in microfiber.

You can thank Jilli for that. She linked it in a Gothic Charm School post once, and I've had it bookmarked since then, waiting for a reason to buy him a fancy tie. (My other choice was the ampersand tie, because it seemed fitting for a wedding.)
Unrelatedly, now that I've eaten the bourbon fudge, I have a headache. I call no fair.

Cyberoptix makes wonderful ties. I saw this tie from Binarywinter at ECCC and am KICKING myself for not having purchased it at the show.
I took some allergy meds I was certain were non-drowsy, but it turns out they are not. Naturally this happens on a day when I decide to be good and drink water instead of Diet Coke...
I just realised I'd made a tumblr ties shopping post, and went back to see who the vendor was, and...Cyberoptix for the continued win. I was supposed to buy the circuit board ties for instance. I don't think I want them in brass colour, but, DUDE. I definitely should wear that to work next business formal day...
Cyberoptix for the continued win.
Oh, I seriously need that circuit board scarf in kelly green.
Workplace venting: Dude, you don't get a vote on these terms! You are not part of the terminology board! Your part in the process is to give dev feedback and context on proposed terms when we ask for it. I'm (not) sorry that you feel "left out of the meetings where the actual decision was made", but that's not your role.
P.S. Your role is also not being an argumentative asshat, but I've been told that no one has been able to change your mind about that. YET.
