Yeah, the 'cam required' weirds me out.

Gimme some privacy.

Also, using a desktop that has no camera, so yeah...

@atheist That makes sense, too.

Interestingly enough, I never noticed what day it is until it's been pointed out.

Great Programmer. /* GP for short; !to be confused w/ Google Play. */

Yum.

Definitely depends on the company, but having a personal, external HDD is a good option.

@Lensflare Ah, got it.

I don't have any iOS devices on me && by the time I discovered dR, the official Android app was no longer available for my device.

The issue about the app being in Chinese / other Asian language was something I had encountered in comments of one of the previous posts.

It was so long ago, I didn't really remember about which platform the talk was.

Using the Desktop version, so fortunately no.

I do remember reading something about this being a problem on iOS, though.

It was a long time ago, so I can't say how relevant it is nowadays.

@retoor > 'jews don't spend money :p'

Reminded me of the 'Buy one, get one free' bit from the 'Family Guy'.

Sounds like a smart investment, then.

> 'what brothers /* sic */ me is the experience requirements like motherfucker'.

Yup. && the pay they tend to offer in exchange for that experience.

&& then they want you to be grateful for that pay, too.

@TerriToniAX OK, got it.

I got slightly confused there ;-) .

@TerriToniAX I wasn't actually disputing your position.

I simply provided the reasoning why I initially mentioned the dept being called 'IT'. Since I was unsure whether this is country-wide over here, or just per-company, I chose to mention that as well.

I do agree that the smaller the company the more well-rounded you have to be && the more you have to do yourself, though.

Sounds nice. Congrats.

Hopefully !'calm before the storm' thing.

@BordedDev > 'Both'.

Played at the same time?

It's been a long time since I played 'Half-Life 2'... It was around the time it was released on the Xbox, so I barely remember it.

A great game, though.

I should find some time to finally finish the Episode 1 && 2 from the 'Orange Box'.

Ah, the right to Bear Arms.

Wouldn't mind having a pair, myself.

10:00 PM Late Night.

01:00 AM Early Morning.

@TerriToniAX Got it.

!sure whether country-wide, but all my companies had that separation, where IT would be infrastructure + security only.

Programmers were treated as separate department.

> 'Bad people.'

Precisely. The scum!

@BordedDev Bad ones do have that effect.

@retoor Dunno. Fewer expenses == more money.

So... whatever you want? More ice cream for you, maybe having fancy food more often.

Preferably something healthier, though ;-) .

@Lensflare Well, you got me there ;-) .

...really shows you who actually reads the manuals.

Probably same as wanting to be a policeman or a doctor.

/* Or a game tester; Shh. */

It's good to know what it is you're getting yourself into.

But sure - it could very well be a terrible company.

@retoor Imagine how much you could save if you quit, though.

@retoor > 'markeer mijn woorden'.

Oh, cool, something in Dutch for which I actually don't need a translation.

It's nice when languages overlap.

@retoor That she is.

> 'Do you enjoy pain? Love being mistreated while paying $100 a year for it? Welcome to Apple Developer Enrollment!'

For some reason, I have read that in Billy Mays' voice in my mind.

Would watch such a commercial.

@TerriToniAX This definitely sucks.

Have you tried befriending someone in IT dept.?

// OK, joking a bit.

But on a more serious note - have you tried asking IT, maybe they have a recommendation w/ which they would be OK?
