Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That passive-aggressive notes site is hilarious!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, about the Flickr TOS? When you click on that link it takes you to the Yahoo TOS, which is unspecific, flickr-wise, as far as I can tell.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sexual orientation affects how we navigate and recall lost objects

...in mental rotation (a task where men usually perform better) they found that the table of best performance to worst was:

* Heterosexual men
* Bisexual men
* Homosexual men
* Homosexual women
* Bisexual women
* Heterosexual women

In general, over the range of tasks measured, where a gender performed better in a task heterosexuals of that gender tended to perform better than non-heterosexuals. When a particular gender was poorer at a task homosexual and bisexual people tended to perform better than heterosexual members of that gender.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nobody's adding any pictures to the photo pool anyway. So sad!

Punishingly Intricate

I haven't been able to get to Flickr all day.

Flickr has been super wacky when I've tried to get to it from work for the last two weeks. It is incredibly annoying.

The flickr guidelines say things like your account should mostly be full of pictures you've taken, and you shouldn't use flickr to host pictures for websites, and stuff like that. It seemed like it would be OK.

So, my boss just left with her own migraine, and her boss is going to be out starting tomorrow through the middle of next week. I can't imagine I'm going to get anything done for the rest of the day.....

I haven't had reliable access to flickr at work in months. 10 minutes to load a picture? Yeah, forget it. It's faster at home on dialup. It's freaky. I'm going to blame yahoo somehow because the timeline of acquisition/merge roughly coincided and I just generally have a hateon for yahoo because of their penchant to use ads that make my (admittedly feeble) work browser blow up.

It's probably a coincidence. And someone else's fault entirely.

France has said it plans to offer incentives to more immigrants - especially those from Africa - to return home voluntarily.

The cheese-eating surrender monkeys want take-backs? Way to be, France. Way to be.
