how about that weather

mostly worried about overhead

now it appears all businesses must have a viable web presence to stay in business.

I get so annoyed when a business doesn't

ill move to the country and buy 5 acres and build a warehouse long before I rent a storefront for 6k a month

"this restaurant doesn't have their menu online?! alright I'll go somewhere else"

Right there with you John... that ranks #1 followed by "Call us for pricing" for autoparts.

I HATE call for pricing

It's okay for SERVICES but it is just flat-out lazy and a bit underhanded for actual physical products

Scott did you ever get any of those AC gadgets?

My all time favorite.. is "See our menu" on a web site and you get an unexpected PDF download. :)

true but right now all my stuff is an idea and in design phase

I am dying, I have to get something

Not yet, been way too busy

I did buy an ice maker though :)

AC gadgets?

ahhh I need you to be the guinea pig! :P

a register booster, Matt

I've got a Dyson bladeless fan and I've been putting a bowl of ice behidn it :)

cheap.. but works

well.. the fan's not cheap

the ice is

telling you you need to get this

target.com/p/…

it's been cooler here.. only in the 70s so it hasn't been too bad this week

my room is upstairs and the downstairs is quite comfortable, so I've got two big fans moving air in the hallway towards my room, then a big box fan blowing on me at all times. It's quite a system. And doesn't work very well

That has to be installed by a contractor

I looked into those at lenght Matt

+ you still need an outdoor compressor

I'm not looking to drill any holes in walls

talking about fans again? :P

well guess Im happy my uncle is an electrician

well now @Yisela says hello

John started it Yisela

:D

it's all John's fault

ha ha

I will fall on this sword

john does start a lot of faults huh

wow that killed chat quicker than..

That's all Yisela's fault.

Blame her

true

yeah blame me

I'm just a happy finger-pointer

me and my prejudice towards fans

she is our IE spoke person

I'd hate to be an IE spoke

that wheel fell off years ago

i decided to just add a "sorry we dont support IE" to my sites.

haha, I was thinking that

I dream of that day

laaazyyyy

spending to much time to be dynamic I dont care about IE anymore after the Java security BS

no the java security did it for me

I just support 9+ anymore although I will take a look in 8 just to be sure there's no porn there.

how does spontaneous porn happen o_o

with IE you never know

hahaha

this company works at enterprise level, usually hospitals, and you can imagine what kind of technology a hospital can have

I'm lucky it's only IE7 I have to support

you ARE lucky!

probably brand new stuff! ....in 1995

sorry no we needed IE 1.1

you need to code for netscape

one client (bank) only had IE6

so I guess I get to set a trend

I saw a convo the other day somewhere talking about IE5 on the Mac.. I had to chime in.. Are you F'n serious?

is such a thing even possible?

yes

yeah if you run a PPC with the classic OS.. a la circa 1990

I have a computer with a 5.5 drive running windows 95

btw, are you alive @Yisela?

@JohnB yes, why?

IE

IDK apparently it's like the apocalypse in NZ right now!

haha

well, I'm working with my coat and gloves on

my bedroom has like a window ceiling

so it's very pretty when it rains

but scary as hell when there's one of these crazy storms

sounds like Hey Arnold!

(and I am the only one here that will understand that)

I kept thinking the glass was going to break

ahh, cool

hang on

I have a pic from the last storm

nice

there was hail all night

I would hide under my bed

my mattress in in the floor :s

I love hail :) My car doesn't. Nice view when it's clear I bet

wow bet thunderstorms are great

@Scott yes, it'a amazing, luckily. I can see a volcano and the sea

Wow volcano too.. ain't you the lucky one

I'm moving to NZ

but big windows only have that positive side. The rest is: cold in the winter, boiling in the summer, sunny at 6 am

you can have my flat then, I'm moving to Europe

:)

Well, you've just got sheers there. You could use blackout curtains as well :)

my landlord is quite... how to say... cheap. And these windows are huge and need a special structure

ahh.. been there. That sucks

I made those curtains myself and adjusted them with wire

there are two windows, one of them came with a nice built on curtain thing

that you can move up and down

(the blue one)

last tenant probably broke the other one :)

haha, yes

it was there when I rented it (before I moved in)

it magically disappeared

Yup.. had that happen to me before. BAM "hey that wasn't like that when I signed the lease"

haha yes

he sent three different people to see what could be done

apparently, he didn't like the prices

never heard of them again

but it's a nice little flat, so it's fine

glad you like it in spite of the less-than-energy-efficient window :)

(and in revenge I've got a cat, which is strictly forbidden)

what kind?

I've got a terribly insecure and dumb cat myself

I actually found the name yesterday in a book! California Spangled (which I guess means "generic cat")

haha

lol.. yeah otherwise known as Mutt

with a west coast accent

Chancha (means pig) is very needy, she is with me all the time and cries if I have to leave her to get some food or similar

odd for a cat

what color is your dumb cat?

it's a siamese mix so white, tan, greys

oh yeah, they are like you describe haha, but also full of love

name?

and I say dumb becuase yesterday I changed her food bowls. She was underfoot all day. That generally means she needs something. I had no idea what. I finally, abotu 9pm picked her up and sat her in front of the new (full) food and water bowl.. that solved it. Apparently she wasnt' smart enough to understand only the bowls had changed, not their location.

hahaha

Name's Jasmine... Ididn't name her I'd have picked a way more wicked name

:)

is that beer

haha

yea

title "Happy midsummer t cat"

according to google translate

How'd you get beer from "Image not found"?

:D

haha: Keywords: Midsummer , beer , cat , pussy , drowning , statistics , crapper , home , machine ,

it actually has beer in the tags

sometimes the chat parser doesn't work very well

It was showing up for me for bried period of time... then it disappeared

any URL that ends in an image extension, it tried to embred a picture

is it a cat drinking beer?

apparetnly there's some super-secret image language you all have developed by being in here

I feel so left out :(

@Scott I don't think so

click the link!

riemurasia.net/kuva/Hyv%C3%A4%C3%A4-juhannusta-t-kissa/123544

Next saturday there will be Mid summer day celebration going on... one of the drinking holidays in finland

ermm.. link has broken image as well :)

yeah I had to right click view image to finally see the image

hahaha

Joonas you are making us work too much!

but it's worth it

ty

I laughed my ass off

ahh...

:)

But every year people die during mid summer day celebration, so there's that...

it makes me happier because it's friday here

:D :D

rub it in

hey.. can you provide sports scores early Yisela????? Can ya?? huh? Huh????

hahaha

LOLLLL

I want his 27 gadgets

I only have like 4...

aw man should have called those

engadget.com/2012/07/17/…

I'll just take his swagger... it's got to be better than mine

NO ONE CAN HAVE MY ANIME FILLED EXTERNAL HDD'S!

Joonas is Woz in diguise ^^

I take those to my grave

Woz is kind of.. well... sad to me

booooo

sad how?

He did 1 thing 35 years ago. Granted it changed the face of technology... but it was shear luck and without Jobs would have gone nowhere. He's done nothing else.

Basically I see him a lot like Fred Willard.. willign to do any appearance for a buck :)

well, he seems to enjoy himself!

HAHA nice analogy

ok gotta run, later folks!

Oh yeah.. I'm sure he's had a hell of a ride and I don't mean he doesn't deserve it. But, it's not like he's in any way current or modern

laters

c ya

oh,it's close to 3 here.. gotta go as well. See y'all!

see you!

Close to 1 am, gotta go as well. Cya

well..

John is clearly the social glue here

xD

it's 10 am here, so I'll... stay... forever

ya see someone later

@Matt_2.0 @Yisela I am back to glue you

I've taken 20 hour naps before so I can kind of relate

lol nap.. I wish

damn its gonna be a long week.. think I will pull 80 hours in a week
