    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The last time I had a contractor gig with DoD I went through a recompete and of course the company I worked for lost the contract. The new company coming in though pretty much hired everyone who wanted to stick around and gave us raises to boot. I'm sure that's pretty atypical, but I'll be...

    lol Ravvenn

    I didn't mean the GoFundMe's to help her. I recall that once it was divulged that she was hooking we had a GoFundMe set up for a forum member to go sample the product.

    Wasn't there a GoFundMe going at one point to get a forum bro to hire her and write up a full report?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Sounding like I'm going to get a couple of offers for DoD contracts. GD for sure and maybe one from BAE. Which means moving from WA to NC but man the drop in cost of living will be nice. Might miss a couple of mini van raids.

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    SmartOS is my current experimentation for server OS. It's a fork of Illumos which was Sun Open Solaris which Oracle took back causing the name change. Any way I think it's an amazing server platform as they perfected the Solaris zone container technology which was the pre cursor to Docker and I...

    Keyboards & Mice

    I used Razer stuff for several years but the Anansi keyboard I had shitted out first followed by the mouse shortly after. I now have a Logitech g110 key and g600 mouse and I like the combo way better.

    I bought the box on Amazon to save ten bucks since I didn't need the boost before launch. Now they open DH for digital pre orders early... Fuckers.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I dunno about your son, but my 5 year old has always behaved way differently (i.e. worse) with my wife than he does with just me. He behaves the worst when we are together though we've become a pretty good united front so it's not near as bad as it was a couple of years ago when my wife would...

    I'm a PSTer too. If you want to put together a late nighter Friday 5-man crew to do mythic or something I'd probably be down. I will be half in the bag by then though, so fair warning.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Is it for an actual defense position or with a non-defense client? Most of the DOD clients will ask you straight outta the text book questions. The non-defense ones will be a mixed bag. I just interviewed for a couple of positions - one with Lockheed Martin and one with General Dynamics - both...

    I already forgot the forum name... But if I recall he was semi ok like the first time he showed and then it just devolved into a shit show thereafter.

    Raspberry Pi

    It probably runs better on the pi3 but on the pi2 retropie ran like garbage for me. The NES games of all things were terribly laggy. SNES and PSX1 were tolerable.

    youtube to audio device

    4K Video Downloader | Free Video Downloader for PС, Mac and Linux I bought the full version so I can download playlists. I mostly use it for video so I can get shit for my kids and toss it on plex so they can watch it on TV, but it works equally as well for getting MP3.

    I've always just used that setting that forces it to a constant 60fps and it works good for me.

    <Fires of Heaven> WoW Guild - [Horde] [Hyjal-US]

    I'll prolly just DPS with offspec heals on my paladin. I think I am going to transfer my priest over too though. If only because he has all of my 30 slotters and I kinda want those.

    Raspberry Pi

    You can use iptables and deny all traffic on ports 80 and 443 and then white list the IPs you know are safe. It's kind of a pain to maintain as the minecraft IPs will probably change relatively often and you'll have to add them to the white list, but it would pretty much eliminate the donkey...

    If they follow the WoD model it will be a permanent perk of buying the X-Pac. Transferred the pally tonight. Finished my tomes but forgot about the ship mission cockblock... Still figuring out the new rotations but looking forward to minivan 2.0

    I need 3 tomes. Kinda forgot about it, but guess I may as well finish now. Gonna stick out paladin I guess, it's just way to hard to go to a class where I can't do all of the 3 roles.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I watch PA and buy kronos when they hit $9 - cheaper than a sub and I don't have to worry about cancelling and reactivating when I randomly stop playing for a month and want to come back. Redguides is cheaper, but I can't be fucked to get verified with them.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Necros are always welcomed in an exp group. Especially since the golden path is undead heavy. The ghetto mez works out quite well in lieu of an enchanter as well.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    The path of least resistance on Phinny is UR->UGuk (and I guess CoM maybe now)->Karnors->Old Seb/Chardok. I like to go FP until about 25-26 then start getting basement groups until 29-30 and then it's off to ass/sup, frenzy and that whole treadmill. My Shaman is 23 right now and I fully plan on...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    It seems like they smoothed out the lower levels a little bit. I've solo'd 1-14 relatively quickly with my new shaman. I think 40+ is when it really starts to suck.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Thinking about coming back and starting over. Have no real desire to play Paladin. I really wish I could just transfer my damn shaman from LJ to Phinny, but I might just start another shaman.

    I think I will be tied up this Friday, but I'm down for other Fridays. My paladin is my best geared I think I'm 690's in both DPS and healing. Still planning on transfering, but I bought a bunch of Steam games this month and my wife said I couldn't do both.

    I discovered ARK Survival Evolved . Probably going to play that until the xpac, finding it way funner right now.

    Ark: Survival Evolved

    Buddy talked me into trying this out while it was on sale. It's pretty fun, I'm on his private server right now playing the center map, which I like better than the official one. Probably will dabble with this until the WoW xpac comes out.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I actually avoided transferring the first go around because I could tell there were some competing interests there. Looks like this time though everyone who is transferring/joining is doing so to jump aboard the minivan.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    You have to up your faction again though to turn in the pelt if you do it after the epic. I'd just hand it in while it's max - or a little before and let the pelt max you.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Even without a druid, you can bind by bondl, run through the sewer to EFP and then translocate to BB super fast. The one part I'd say is worth doing before you complete the epic though is the MM dire wolf for insta clicky sow boots.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Reactivated my account, but wife says I have to wait until pay day (this Friday) to transfer toons and pre-order. I'm really going to have to get back into the groove. Playing EQ for the last six months has made for some horrible habits like sitting all the time and pressing 'i' to bring up my...

    <Fires of Heaven> WoW Guild - [Horde] [Hyjal-US]

    I voted Alliance - Hyjal on accident. Meant to say Alliance new server. Stormrage or Aerie Peak or some alliance heavy server would be good but don't really care. Actually I don't really care about faction either when it comes down to it, but would definitely like Alliance for something new...
