The problem with making a vat of delicious potato leek soup last night and bringing some to work for lunch today is that I WANT TO EAT IT NOW NOW NOW.

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

And then you can do an effectively simple web page, but with a great deal of coding behind it.

Case in point. t looks around

Beautifully simple design. Hella impressive programming.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The argument I was having came from some ass saying that girls use computers like they watch television, there's no technical skill going on.

And I said no, girls can code. And they do. Such is my experience in fandom. Girls aren't just providing written content, they're designing as well, and often coding up their own shit by hand, from scratch.

Such is my experience, though. It's anecdotal. I learned HTML from other young women, who were using C++ and Perl at the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, god. Now I want some of shrift's soup! Badly.

And how do boys watch tv with "technical skill?" Is watching UFC and drinking beer all that technologically challenging?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would also eat some of shrift's soup. Especially since I had food for lunch and managed to leave it at home. Now I'll have to go outside. And make decisions.

It is very good soup. And it has bacon. I will be eating it for the next 3 days. If you guys had come over last night, you could've had some!

We just went upstairs to see where they were putting us. I fear that it's going to be worse up there than it is down here. We're going to be on a floor with customers all over the place, and apparently, it is not uncommon for customers to just walk into your cube, sit at your desk, and try to use your phone. Crap, I'll have to lock up everything when I go to the bathroom, won't I?

We just had a giant whiteboard fall off the wall. No injuries, but a giant thunderous crash.

One of my coworkers has suggested an exorcism.

Yet another example of people ruining it for the rest of us. Any way you can make your phone look especially unhygenic? Maybe put some rubber vomit (or blood) on it?
