sorry about disappearing (but i’m still not here)

my meatspace life got very complicated. some of it was mundane stuff that happens to everyone (relatives dying, that sort of thing) and some of it was extremely weird (imagine being able to tell your partner “if you want to know why i’m stressed and depressed, well, there’s a Wired article about that now”).

i am unlikely to post here in the near future. but i’m doing okay.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, except for that fucking Little Drummer Boy song, which is banned forever; or abridging the freedom of speech, except for that fucking Little Drummer Boy song, which is banned forever, or of the press, unless they print that fucking Little Drummer Boy song; or the right of people to peaceably assemble, unless they’re all performing that fucking Little Drummer Boy song because fuck that, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, unless the grievance is their inability to play or sing that fucking song. Fuck that song.”

It’s not the clients who don’t know how to find the Enter key that concern me; it’s the clients who do things in really roundabout ways that clearly require a great deal of knowledge.

I once worked with a guy whose customary method of providing UI feedback was to take a photograph of his screen using his cell phone camera, transfer the photo onto his desktop computer, embed it in a Word document, print out the Word document, write his comments on the paper printout in pen, scan the printout, convert the scanned document to PDF – with flawless OCR and annotations, I might add! – and email me the PDF.

Like, there are at least three steps in that process that require a fair amount of technical know-how, so I can’t even say he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I just… why?
