fuuuuuuck timecube that's so early worldwideweb (yes they prefered that longass term for internet at the time, that much I know) I myself only ever heard of it from the tales...


So that quote is me burning a fuse on a good day, I'll at least turn my anger into a humourous take by going slightly beyond target. If you care to know my inspirations there's a dose of gnosticism in it, some christian sect that thought live is evil because it entraps the light of creation and so practically they resorted to oral and anal and so it ain't that suprising they put an end to themselves if they didn't get persecuted to extinction; I actually don't know. Since the fucking rooster craws more than usual when it's sunny I,... yeah... obviously - don't ask  :P
about timecube, I heard of it from websites talking about it, then found the website, apparently sites like that are called green ink sites?

I fucked up on my bicycle, my handlebar clipped the edge of a gate and I took a spill on the pavement. I had to brace myself against the ground with my hands. My palms are scraped and my thumb and wrists hurt a lot. I'm positive nothing is broken, just really sore and tender, but absolutely any action that requires any strength from my thumb or wrist... isn't impossible, but can be done with quite a bit of pain. Even opening/closing a milk carton required placing it on the ground and getting into an awkward position so that I could grasp it and twist it without using my wrist.

I'm honestly not bothered by the pain, but I'm pissed off at myself for making such a stupid, careless mistake. On some level, I welcome the pain, I'm so ordinarily careful in my life that i forget what injury feels like, and it's a welcomed reminder. Though I guess I can say that since I didn't take a serious injury, I'd probably be crying if I broke something or fucked up my fingers.

That’s been happening here for the past week. Yet fireworks here are illegal! Seems like everyone had the time to do an explosives run to Pennsylvania

It is a sunny day this is the best day such a great day let everybody know how tremendous this day is there is no better day this is the day that bests all days must benefit wholly from the day because when will there ever be such a great day again I can't wait to enjoy this marvellous day and under no circumstance would I would I ever miss out on this wonderful day, days like these must be cherished from START to like 63% because only the prospect of more perfect day ahead can improve this awesome day, a day so infinitely valuable that the whole universe came to existence to culminate into this absolute superlative of nop notch irreplacable days, unless the sun is past south then who gives a shit.


Heretics trapping the light of creation in this dark void my religious feeling are deeply offended, I see your longcon, a whole genesis just to let the photons sit in the rain once we achieved total enthropy - may the great spaghettimonster replace your vocal cords with your eyeballs and your eyeballs with your vocalcords - may the great spaghetti monster replace your fingers with 10 penises unable to get an erection and leave a singular annulary in the place of your genitals.

Is this Timecube?
Nope, time cube talks about how the world is a cube and how grandparents can turn into babies, and how time is split in 4 sections, and other things, like cussing a lot about how the number 1 is evil...here’s a timecube website

My beloved corporate IT force-installed the latest Windows 10 update on my computer.

I hate when people do things without my consent.

Especially since there are now all kinds of services and other crap re-enabled on my machine that i specifically disabled.  Dammit.

All the UI changes are also crap.  Why does the search have to take up 25% of my screen now?

Wow and logging in now takes like 30 seconds.

Urist McReviewer was disturbed after mistaking porn game for a decent Long Live the Queen clone lately.
MCreeper was amused after seeing someone get disturbed lately.
MCreeper was disgusted because of lack of decent Long Live the Queen clones lately.

And it even haves decent graphics too. Fuck you, fuckers!

Looked at the homework solutions someone made,and like in the lest few times, it's just simple applications of stuff from the course in way I didn't think of, the good news is that I find those better in times it matter like the test so I would hopefully be ok, the bad news is that I am either lazy or give up too easily, probably both knowing me.

So I have a job offer around 20km from where I live. Shitty place, 140 beds, no dayward, no inpatients. Probably just lab and general clinic, if that. They're a bit desperste so I could probably bully them into reducing the daily appts.  It's still a bit shitty... and tbh I'm in no hurry to start working and what I really want to do is go back to Ireland. So I dont know what to do.

It's that time of year again.

Time to mass-murder my braincells with the "Purposefully drawn out to the point of inducing 'caged animal' instincts' narrators in the online training I must endure 4 times a year.

Seriously, when it takes 70 seconds worth of audio to inform me that "Audio is required for this course, make sure you have audio enabled and that your speakers are turned on. The seek bar is currently disabled; You will not be able to proceed to the next slide until the audio playback has completed", and all subsequent narration is just as horribly slow 1/2 to 1/3 tempo of normal speech, (and waaaaaay over inflected like the narrator graduated from the William Shatner school of acting), it makes me want to start chewing my limbs off to be free of the trap I find myself in.

Throw onto that, that I have literally completed EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THESE. THINGS. just 4 months ago, and can still clearly remember each and every slide, I want to take a page out of the unibomber handbook, and send a "thank you!" complimentary "free gift" to whoever is responsible for the curriculum.



So, not life changing here, just "OMG, REALLY? ... AGAIN?" levels of loathing.

Seeing as they are all LITERALLY THE SAME FUCKING COURSES OVER AND OVER AGAIN--  I find myself contemplating leveraging my tech skillset to forcibly over-ride their "Disabled seek bar" bullshit, so I can just skip the damn slides, and then take the damn test.

Each one is of course, coded differently, because "Lowest bidder bullshit"-- so it would be a long and drawn out process to make scripts to deal with each one.. but in the end, it would save me literally weeks of my time. (I am thinking a .hta that executes in Explorer, which contains some VBScript and pals, to intercept, identify, and then doctor all the javascript executed inside a frame element. That way I just enter the learning portal in the window that pops up after running the .hta, and it does all the magic I programmed it to do without any further fiddling, regardless of what order they assigned the classes. The fact that it is always THE SAME DAMN ONES is what would allow it to work statically.)


I am certain that somewhere, there would be a compliance bureaucrat that would be mortified and upset by this statement, and would go after my soul if I actually did this (So far, I have only ever used my out-of-scope tech skills to correct a course-breaking typo in one of them that made the course uncompletable without such doctoring-- I just corrected the typo with a local override).

But it is fast approaching the point where I would tell such a compliance officer to go fuck themselves with a barbed wire wrapped jackhammer, and do it (hack all the courses) without any remorse.
