luke viia Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I have to put together guidelines at work to show the cheap, India-based design farms how to do the work so it can be outsourced away from our local freelance/inhouse designers (and, ultimately, myself), just so people like luke viia don't have to pay more money for their books. HOORAY Just stop writing books. The open source versions and old editions are just as good or better anyway. I've gotten three of my instructors to stop using "big three" published books this year, and gave two talks on the subject on campus. FWS, in yer face. Sorry modey. I still like your tunes, but I'm afraid your job and willingness to suckle from the teat of douchey Texan copyright barons will always keep us enemies. :D Edited April 30, 2013 by luke viia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primary and secondary textbooks go out of date more quickly than you'd expect. So really, I probably shouldn't have mentioned you because you're not the target market for the books I work on (which require more dedication/creativity than a $6/hour shift-based operation can provide). Don't get me wrong, these recent events have made me less enthusiastic about the company I work for, but I can't imagine working in any other industry anymore. I spent 7 years in print and that was hell. I'm not enough of a creative designer to get a 'real' design job, and that would probably only be in advertising anyway, which would make me want to kill myself. I like working on books! Maybe I can hope for an opening at Penguin; we share an office anyway so I'd technically have all of my people still there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) it's all good man, lol. I was just being ornery earlier because I was on my way to the dentist. and I just can't help myself when someone starts talking about textbooks. FWP: just back from the dentist, am loopy on a variety of drugs both administered and yolo'd into my mouth, and just sat through a phone call with a company that makes fluorescent dyes for confocal microscopy. she explained how to stain my samples, but I'm loopy, and maybe only sort of understood... but just placed an order with the school for hundreds of dollars worth of materials. hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass! FWP.2: that dentist visit was brutal, i went to a school of dentistry to get lower prices (and they're all very nice and seem capable) but the discount isn't that hot, and now they want me back for what sounds like at least 2-3 more visits, and the cold stingy chip in my veneer didn't get fixed. i'm pretty worried it's going to get worse or just fall off (ah, nightmares) but they seemed calm enough about it...

spratters Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Happy with my new job but I get home over an hour later which means I get home, quickly eat then straight to study until bed. No time for much else really. And I've left an assignment a bit late so there's no chance I can slack off anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I lost all 496 contacts on my iphone and I'm too fucking stupid and computer illiterate to figure out how to recover them. Restoring from the iphone backup isn't working and I don't have icloud or anything. I installed some freeware shit, dr.fone and it found 212 of my contacts, but then asks for 85$ to restore them... but it's finding them somewhere so they ARE somewhere.. there must be a way to fix this.. fuck fuck fuck >.< Anyone know of any freeware data recovery utilities?

modey Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I had the exact same thing happen to me last week.. except I only had 70 or so contacts worth remembering so I just went through all of my text messages and added them manually again. Then it happened again the next day and I had to do it again. Upgraded to iOS6 and it's been fine so far.. Apple haven't even seemed to acknowledge it, but if you're still on iOS5 you should upgrade so it doesn't happen again (hopefully). Not sure how to get the lost contacts back automatically though.

Some of my contacts have a lot of sentimental value. For instance, the stripper named Angel who once took me on a coke-fueled date throughout downtown. She brought me back to her apartment and her cute methed-out neighbor, who was wearing a chicken costume, invited us in for a sit and chat. She had a crib, but there was no baby...I couldn't find the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
