That's...pretty freakin' ugly. But I could see how you could still be drawn to it -- I feel a need to protect myself, and that's just a bog standard picture.

Nate, if you have any kind of blocker (NoScript, etc.), try turning on ipscdn.com. Your company might be blocking it, but that was something new I had to turn on here.

Just tried it, works for me -- does it do that with all links? Also, maybe try site:head-case.org instead.

Yeezh, indeed. And: pictures? I need to see if there's anything uglier than a human baby. It is fucking annoying, I won't argue that. But you still have to do it. You just have to go to your happy place repeatedly and remind yourself that you are in the right on this. And approach them with the attitude of it's their problem, and they need to make it right. I agree with everything Nate says -- it's Amazon's problem for not delivering the goods, and it's the shipper's problem because Amazon hired them, not you. Until it's in your hands, it hasn't been delivered.

Yeah, they should.

Merry Fucking Christmas to...someone else. Good thing it's not your problem, neh? Just report it as not delivered to Amazon, but still, PITA...

Finished Witchcraft from last week, with "Love on a Battleship" from As I Hide, which transitioned very nicely into Sleep Research Facility, Nostromo, actually. I need to track that down. Huge Klaus Schulze fan. I could probably have donated a track myself. EDIT: While looking for it, I found this, pretty spot on impression of him:

Sorry, guy, 52 is way too young.

Tapatalk has been hitting on my drum machine.

How far are you going to be away from the screen? This is required information, otherwise the only thing that you're going to be immersed in is pixels. Visible pixels. A 60" screen shouldn't be viewed closer than 6-8 feet, methinks. Look around online, there's lots of screen size calculators. I actually went smaller, because -- I don't know about you, but -- I hate seeing teh pixelses.

Norator, Med rytmen i rymden -- these guys come from the "Vince Clarke is God" school of synthpop. EDIT: And graduated with honors.

Hurray, we can post in NoneMoarBlack again! Was GuzziGuy taken care of? I actually haven't been on since then.

I'm not finding any "Ken M.", but then I don't have an internal spreadsheet of username->to->real names -- username?

I wouldn't run a VM on SSD being the main reason. Will 'use up' the SSD faster, but I may be wrong about that. Actually, now that I think about it, it will only "use it up" 2ce as fast as running regular programs, so...meh, nevermind me.

Aye! I vaguely recognize what's playing now -- No-Man or something? EDIT: Fuckin' groovy. PS I love Lumukanda. They have one of my favourite album names evar -- That was Zen, This is Tao

One can post fine in Firefox with SnowWhiteTehBlindness theme, borked with MoarTehBlakness. Yeah, your face is empty. That's what I keep telling my computer.

Two great tastes that go great together. If it's cold there, do the warmses (and hotses) 'pop' more? Also, are you able to preview before taking the picture? Adjust contrast, etc.?

B&W / Maserati / Howie B / Abbey Road Studios collaboration Get this -- Howie B samples the Maserati engine and makes music with the result. -________________________- (dreamy-eyed frog)

Yeah, that's probably even lighter. I wouldn't run any virtual machines on it, but it should be fine for anything else.

Please be spinning tonight.

Witchcraft, As I Hide

I find this to be a good combination for what I do -- stationary large monitor at both locations (work, home), 15.6" 1920x1080 laptop. What sort of muscle? (mSATA? CPU, HDD, memory?)

I can still click 'like' in "NotSnowWhiteTehBlindness" theme, so in many cases, that may be the extent of mah response.
