whyd you start a new thread so fast anyway, this one wasnt even 1000 posts was it?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

They don't work anyway. I just put margarine and Vegemite in between them and squeezed and no worms came out. Rnak.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

The one before was only about 600 wasn't it? Anyway the other one was moving too slowly and I'm bored. And I had a good idea for a title.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Right well now that I've CLEARLY BUCKED THE TREND AND ALIENATED YOU ALL I suggest we go back to the other thread and fill it.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

And in the meantime I will go into the other room and sulk. Or watch telly.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

Aw! Stop whining ;) I was reading up abt the new seasons simpsons over on SNPP.

ssssshhhhh

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, miss *puts hands on head*

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Yeah.

Durr.

I'm being such a stoopid butthead today. Mild brain damage broiled in light depression.

BUT THERE IS A TRAILER FOR THE NEW BATMAN MOVIE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BAAAAAAAAAAAAATMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

I like that they're taking the 'Sometimes it is daytime in Gotham City and Bruce Wayne is Patrick Bateman's kickass vigilante older brother' angle with this.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

I was reading up abt the new seasons simpsons over on SNPP.

Time to stop surely.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it's like watching a loved, once lively household pet lose bladder function and the use of their back legs.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

Actually some of the recent eps have been pretty good. I'm not a "they went crap" type with it, sorry.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

The occasional new episode is great, but most of the new ones I've seen are just depressingly bad. Yet every year I give it another chance. Last week's was fantastic; if this series keeps up that standard I'm back on the bus.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

I feel they've lost their heart.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

The ABC has a watermark now! Fuck!

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh lordy, thats a bit crap.

You know, reading ILM depresses me. There are some artists talked about by *everyone* there in these reverential, biggest thing since god terms that I heard about say a week ago. MIA is the latest example but there's plenty others. Once of a time I kept up - now I have no idea. Am I to assume that never listening to radio/never reading music mags is wot done it? Seriously, I know nothing past about 95 except for the Faint, Ellen Alien and a buncha techno/trance stuff.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

So who the hell is MIA and why should I care? And if it is hip hop, I probably wont I should point out.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

nobody can know everything trayce.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

Oh m.i.a is... an anglo/sri-lankan hip-hop artist. everyone's freaking out because her dad's a tamil tiger, she knows the right people in london and she's got a bleepy bloopy record. you probably wouldn't like it and truth be told, the whole thing is massively, MASSIVELY overhyped.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

It's all very Che Guevara screenprints.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Except on very rare occasions, English people shouldn't rap.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

So, anybody want to tear me a new arsehole or tear their nose up at me now?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

she got a typically tops review from pitchfork. i think mikey is right about the overhype. although it depends on how you define overhyped as i'm sure trayce isn't alone in only just having heard of her.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:41 (twenty years ago)

i heard of her AGES ago you losers!!!

its just i've never actually heard her.

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

...well you got multiple THE FUTURE OF MUSIC write-ups in the music media. It's nerdy techno meets rappy schoolyard chants. That ain't my future of music.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

yep. she's not exactly on high rotation here either. even on the community station.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh, tamil tigers... girly asian rapper. Say no more, I see why shes hyped now. God that lot're predictable.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:50 (twenty years ago)

what was the last big thing? i think i missed that too.

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

Velcro sneakers

― I was born, lucky me... (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

never owned a pair. knew i was getting old when sneakers started to look stupid.

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

won't buy the kids them either.

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:57 (twenty years ago)

I had a pair when I was... 8?

I can get behind MIA if it means less people are wasting oxygen and/or thought on the Fucking Libertines! WHY DOES ENGLISH ROCK BAND NOT LIKE TO ROCK etc.

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

i have an idea i'm going to like her

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

i should've burned you the Dipo thing! d'oh.

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

See now I now SFA about the Libertines either. Or Belle and Sebastian. Not a single note. And you know what? I dont care a bit :/ Its weird. I'm happy to sit in my suspended animation of 1992 and ignore the world, heh.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

i don't think you're missing a huge amount re: the libertines trayce.

i reckon there's an argument to be made for finding a style of music you love and sticking to it. i'm always buying new cds but i don't think i really properly listen to enough of them, even since i got ipoded. there just isn't enough time.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

trayce, if you are familiar with:

a) popular English band The Clash;
b) the concept of "watering-down"; and
c) the popular opiate heroin,

you know all you need to about the libertines.

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

haha

Trayce 92 is a good year to be stuck in!

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

i really like that 'oooh what became of the likely lads' song though

― gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

The Libertines? omg I LOVE the Libertines.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

i thought we were talking about some new band called The Fucking Libertines

Yes, I just noticed she's around, just not right here.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

i am around! i'm trying to finish up a MAMMOTH voluntary project for uni, my brain is melted. the project was editing the law school's 2005 careers handbook, it is 200 pages long and i just this morning received a proof of the printed version it looks SO BEAUTIFUL. it's like i've just given birth i'm so excited. i think i have reached new heights of geekdom.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

Awesome! You're excused :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

it looks SO BEAUTIFUL. it's like i've just given birth i'm so excited.

Awesome! That's the kind of work I'm trying to get paid to do atm.

Yes, I just noticed she's around, just not right here.

Oh sorry.

I've got a new contact!! CHRIST.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

New contact? Where?

btw, don't be sorry. I think I confused you to start with.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

ok i just checked it again (for the 100th time) and it's actually 215 pages long!! no wonder my brain is melted. it really does look astonishingly fantastic even if i do say so myself. if i don't get some bloody good clerkships out of this i don't know what i'll do.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

New contact? Where?

At an employment agency, and she employs people who do what I want to do! So it's good. I think this one WILL answer my calls.

...

215 pages?? Crikey, no wonder you're buggered. Did you do all the DTP as well?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

By "do what I want to do" what kind of work are you meaning?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

Tech writing. Sorry.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

no thank god, one of our sponsors got their firm's design team to do the DTP stuff as part of their sponsorship agreement. that's partly why it looks (aesthetically) so speccy.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Excellent. I hope you find something you like :)

xpost

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Ah. I wouldnt mind it either, but my problem with tech writing is usually they call for specific knowledge also of the thing you're writing about - and when that thing is something like .NET or a Java engine or an Oracle database, I'm lost.

I have done tech writing of training documents for my last job, in fact I ended up doing other people's as well cause I was the only one doing it properly, the buggers.

But yeah I'm not sure if I'm techy enough (ie cant code for shit) to really pursue tech writing.

If I was writing basic user guide stuff for dopey end users ina big company, I'd be right. I've done helpfiles for a CD installer for an ISP before.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

The other problem with showing off stuff like tech writing is, how do you show your good work when it was all in-confidence stuff from yr last company that you just cant show to other clients? Guh.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:21 (twenty years ago)

Kate: Thanks :)

Trayce: Tech writing is pretty broad. There's even call for it in the automotive industry, and some organisations just want their internal processes documented. As long as you gather the right information from the right people, a lot of the work turns out to be far less esoteric than it looks.

I'm lucky with the in-confidence thing, because I did an entire user manual that went out to thousands of customers, so it's not secret, and I kept a handful of copies.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Is there anything you did that you can get copies of to show to people? Stuff that's intended for an outside audience and therefore is not so sensitive?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

Well yeah internal process documentation (and process improvment/biz analsyst work) is something I got to do a lot of in my last year or so at aapt and I liked it.

See, I'd be happy to show stuff, but I dont want to be making the new potential employer think "hey she's showing off company senstive documents! Thats no good".

he only thing I can think of would be the helpfiles I worked on for our Office.Net dialup product... but that divebombed in a spectacular way (nothing to do with me, just bad marketing). I dont know if I have copies anyway. Hrm I can at least list what I did I guess.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

See, I'd be happy to show stuff, but I dont want to be making the new potential employer think "hey she's showing off company senstive documents! Thats no good".

I tell people up front 'this went to customers, it's not sensitive information', and then I tell them about all the other writing I did that I can't show them. They seem to understand though.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

makes sense.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

Man, I just found out my friends lathe cut thingy on heliotone sold out on its first day. Ker-razy!

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:20 (twenty years ago)

roy moller?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

i've done very badly getting hold of the heliotone stuff. i've missed out on half the stuff he's put out.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:26 (twenty years ago)

Apparently Luke (my friend) was approached by the guy and didn't know what lathe cut vinyl was. I had to explain....although I can't say I would've known if you'd not told me several months earlier :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

this sounds interesting, tell me a bit more about it

― thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Well he's 16. I've known him for about 2 years. He's certainly gifted, but needs polishing. Just gone into the studio for the first time late last year. I did the cover art for his first self-produced EP. Not much else to say.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

oh luke hirst. i didn't even get a guernsey at that one. i wish he (heliotone dude) released more copies of things, it's obvious the demand is there...

― thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:42 (twenty years ago)

Well I didn't even get a copy and I was promised one. You can't trust the word of a 16 year old boy.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

His website is down. I broked it when my webhosting went down a few months back.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

If I ever meet him, I'll say to him, 'That Kate friend of yours is seriously underselling your record on the web, man. Trying to get any info off her was near impossible, it was like you were Jandek or something'.

― thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha....you can't sell what isn't able to be purchased.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

'Yeah man, she even said your record wasn't available. Are you aware of the shit she's been saying about you? Here, I'll give you a link.'
