How many miles on it? The answer to that question will point towards viability of resurrection.

Boo. We had a pretty sweet NYE party past year but none of my roommates wanna do it again. I loving hate going to the bar on NYE. Elbow to elbow everywhere and it takes 45 minutes to get a beer. Not to mention cops every 50 feet. Already in a pissed off mood about it.

I have a bit of astigmatism so my Oculus Rift devkit causes a seriously bad headache and really fucks up my sense of balance after 10 minutes of use.

I keep meaning to monkey with the lens settings to see if I can tune it out, but it's not like I have a huge compulsion to invite more brain problems.

I not only have astigmatism, but also need prismatic corrections, so I would need to wear glasses, and they are progressive lenses that would have serious focus issues for me.

I still want to try one of the Occulus things someday, be I'm unwilling to bet any money at all that it would be usable for me.

There's only two nights of the year I don't go out, and that is NYE and St Patrick's day - its loving amateur hour, and the amount of drunk drivers just puts me off. Usually its a night of having dinner with the fam and a relaxing night on the couch.

It's great when they're young, just wait until they start feeling entitled to poo poo. My son thinks Santa will give him a Bugatti Veyron (the actual car, not a toy) because he asks for one lol.

He loves exotics. I was gonna get him a Veyron die cast, but the cheap ones suck and everything else is expensive eye candy that he would want to play with and destroy.

Oh. drat. Think I'll stay away from them then.

I have an Acer 1080p that I got a few years ago and what I a 1280x1024 NEC that I think is ex POS that I picked up from a Men's Shed (Charity / place for men to go and do stuff in Australia). Better than nothing. What I'd really like is a rotatable monitor. For play I like landscape but for work I'd really prefer portrait.

From my googling, it seems that it's hit or miss on astigmatism. Lots of people also say that thinner frames fit in the headset.

I'll probably order a cheap set of glasses from zenni/etc to cut up and glue into the headset so I don't need to wear glasses (I'm like -6.5 astigmatism in both eyes).

Haha, get a super huge stuffed shark if you can find one. My son just turned 8, and we spoil him so now it's oh poo poo what do we get him that we haven't already? So this year we're taking him to an Orlando Magic vs. Miami Heat game the day after Christmas, then going to Disney the next day which will be his first time. We're pretty much loving ourselves though because it's gonna be hard to top that one.

Why the gently caress can't sick people stay home instead of coming into the office? Holy crap, we are allowed to work from home, don't loving come into the office with your coughing and sniffles.

Friday my manager came in (on her normal work from home day no less) with an obvious cold (or flu). I did my bet to avoid her, but well, her cube is next to mine.

This morning when I left for work I had a slightly scratchy throat, but not enough to make me think anything other than allergies or a reaction to the massive temperature swing we just had (went from 70's to freezing in a day). By this afternoon it's a full-blown cold. gently caress. I hate being sick. She was in the office today also, and left at lunch for a doctor's appointment because she was still loving sick.

Now I'm probably going to have to work from home tomorrow so that I'm not the jerk spreading germs, and tomorrow is the team lunch/Christmas party so my work day would consist of showing up, going out to buy some food, helping to get stuff ready, 4 hours of lunch/party, and then dicking around for a couple hours before heading home. Instead, if I'm sick in the morning I'll be sitting in my house actually working all day.

Hahaha.. that would get me so fired. I don't work in the security side of the business at all, but our email system does some sort of document searching and if it finds anything that looks like it might be an account number or client information (or employee information) like SS numbers or even telephone numbers and addresses, it automatically gets quarantined for Info-sec to review before it goes out (or comes in). If you send out an email with an attachment that's encrypted, that's auto-quarantined and you get to actually talk to Info-sec and show them what it is and why you are sending an encrypted document through email (they have approved processes to send/receive secure documents). Not a conversation I'd want to have.
