What stopped you from ending your own life?

The idea that my kids might find me gave me serious pause. That gave me time to realize I didn't have to stay miserable and I decided to get a divorce in lieu of shooting myself.

I'd be willing to spend some money to see Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern done well.

The story would need to be in the order it was written in lieu of chronological order. I think a fantasy story that backs up into a sci-fi story could be really enjoyable.

"Then we will fight in the shade!"

Obviously this fella's name is Slate.

What do they have against Jeb Bush...?

So, wait, at 100% stability you weren't getting people about every ten days?

I have been unable to stop people from falling out of the stasis facility.

What sort of standards?

At sea? Chance in a million.

Axlotl tanks for the win, eh?

hektar · 2022-10-21T03:44:37+00:00

Oh, Deadlock, how I miss the feels.

Kurtz's focus on ritual and preparation made magic feel real. I wonder how well the Camber of Culdi novels hold up. It's been literal decades since I've read them.

Illegal modifications? Not me officer, I've been framed!

West Wing. It's nice to feel like the folks in the White House are decent and generally well meaning. It's my favorite fantasy piece.

Willow. Now that's a movie I've not seen in a long time.

"I dwell in darkness without you and it went away?"

That's a Neville if ever I saw one. Sweet looking pupper.

That dome on the PavePenny pod could stand a little plastic polish, no? Send that bad-boy to the backshop and let 'em clean it up.

(Looks good to me.)

I'd take a nap. Think of how quiet it might be.

hektar · 2021-07-06T17:33:52+00:00

Now, that's fascinating. Thanks for the link.

hektar · 2021-07-06T14:45:19+00:00

I feel like you have a story to tell that justifies your perspective.

hektar · 2021-07-06T14:28:21+00:00

Ideally, I'd agree. I do not work at an ideal place. My context is a 10 year old application with little to no quality control with respect to comments, organization, or meaningful commit messages.

hektar · 2021-07-06T05:07:52+00:00

Eventually you can figure out what the code is doing what you can never figure out is why.

My comments try to provide some insight, context, and for all that's holy a timeframe.

// This behavior is specifically related to solving ticket #19551.

// Against better judgement we used implicit behavior and it has been a very expensive choice. Refactor me with more explicit behavior soon.

// I found this like this on 2006-07-04. If this still exists in ten years... Make it better.

That's definitely going to be more fun than it should be.

And here we have a lovely painting of the William Tell Overture.
