'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Quick hivemind question of a minor technical sort.
I'm setting up Skype for the first time...I know, I know...and am wondering if there is any reason to obfuscate one's identity on same.
--Can your profile be seen by folks other than the ones you call?
--Am I going to want to use it in some anonymous way at any point?

So that's the first time? What a travesty!

Originally posted in tech, but I am moving it:
I don't know if this counts as techy, but about 4 months ago, I decided to stop my Starbucks in the morning habit. I was going in every day for a Misto (au lait) and one of their sandwiches (on my way to the office). I needed to quit this expensive habit. I made coffee in the mornings at my house, but what I really craved was the steamed milk - hence the Starbucks stop.
I went to Macy's ostensibly to buy a combo espresso machine, but I realized I didn't need the espresso part. So I bought this: [link]
(I don't have any other Keurig products - I just use the steamed milk with some French-pressed coffee.)
It's worked perfectly. I haven't stopped at Starbucks in the morning since, and I make my sandwiches at home.

Erin will be pleased to see the inclusion of Chaucer, JZ of Dickens.
That linky no work, java.
One of my exes loved steamed milk with vanilla, so I found her an old fashioned, stovetop milk steamer at Cookin' the store of Used Gourmet Appurtences.
For the record, today is the perfect summer day here. Not too hot, not too humid, nice and sunny.
Ooops, I just copied and pasted from the tech thread. Thanks, Hec, let me revise.
I just requested access for a clinical database. To set up my account, I provided the usual information. They also asked me to provide an initial password.
...Which they said I would be asked to change as soon I logged in for the first time.
What the fuck is the point of making me come up with a password if I'm just going to change it immediately? Why not just give me a dummy password when I sign up LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD?
Sometimes I don't understand people. (These same people decided to spring UAT on us today without any warning. And the edit checks I reviewed were atrocious.)
