| Ooh, the National Forensics League would be cool. I'm stealing that from the flamer and calling it my own. Can't stop me.
So was me being linked to the government, but we all got over that one too. |

| Sorry, I don't trust a .com, albeit lawyers.com. I'd rather have a .gov reference. Find me the US code for that in house.gov, and I'll believe you. Otherwise, I'd sooner trust a journalist (Rogue) than some random crazy (banned) person.
Now, see Title 18 USC Sec. 1801 covers intentional voyeurism, which if that was the purpose of this person in Time Square, and imparts damages based on those actions. See? Was that hard? Providing a legal resource that can be found in the house.gov US Code rather than a provision from lawyers.com that has no citing or resources? (Last edited by Stitch on 08-29-10 03:06 AM) |

| "taught"
My entire family is that way, but that statement is generally true about everything now, so it doesn't apply to just computers. If we're talking about internet technologies and related, it should be that. "Technology" is such a broad term, and used so finite for this rant, that it doesn't even begin to cover what I had forgotten I was going to berate you about. So, pineapples. |

| I was doing French translation, my FF3 was stuck in French Grammar, so yes need for space between colons in that instance. Also, stupid emoticon settings on this damned board.
Capitalizing something after the colon doesn't make sense. It's a list or a declaration and shouldn't be capitalized. It's an implied subject for "No need for pauses" wherein the phrase "There is" has been removed. Just like "I" is an implied subject for "Thank you" but nobody uses the phrase "I thank you" anymore. In order to combine it with the previous one, I would have to use a semi-colon because a simple combination wouldn't work. It would form a sentence fragment. Even so, in its current state, each phrase is a sentence fragment and would form a greater sentence fragment. Also, you can't annoy me. It's not remotely possible for anyone other than two people on this board to annoy me. Those two know who they are. (Last edited by Stitch on 09-05-10 03:40 AM) |

| I'm QA.
Let me tell you how much my 2009 income was from being a QA Tester, not just for video games but software too. $75,000. Yes, you too can be a competent tester in the real world and make bank. I started in video game QA and now I make that much testing applications. Remember, I work for the NFL now, pulling in $5000 a month. As a tester for their web content. Video game QA is not glamorous, and I absolutely despise this show. But, I have worked for Sony, EA, Activision and many other companies over the years, and I absolutely love QA itself. I've even worked for Activision twice. The pay, however, for video game QA sucks, so I always wonder why people do it. Then, I remember...the overtime pay. 12 hours on six days a week is tiring and very annoying, but it pulls in bank. And then, when you grow up and get a real QA job that requires a boat load of skills (my resume is chock-full of technical requirements and certifications required to perform the big-boy jobs), you can sit back and laugh at these idiots doing these shows while you watch the paychecks roll in. But, you may want to be a designer, but ultimately, production dictates what you design unless you're running your own studio. The whole video game industry is harsh, and unless you're a shot caller, expect your years of expertise and vision to nary be used. I've been in the industry for half a decade. Don't knock my career. Xeus is right, though, it's shit pay starting out. I had that. I went through that starting out, but I make bank now when I can find work (stupid economy). And we're not playing; we're testing. There is very little about the game we enjoy, except breaking it. There's the real joy, and this show is an insult to the industry. At least Grandma's Boy made fun of us. It is only the uneducated that say "I want to be a designer" instead. Every software and game and application and website has QA, and it's vital to the design process. Well-funded, it prevents your product from being shit on the market. So, don't knock your QA department. If you ever become a designer, familiarize yourself with QA. It doesn't hurt, and in the end, it actually helps out the overall project to be familiar with all aspects of development. (Last edited by Stitch on 09-16-10 03:30 AM) |

| I have MMA grappling gloves.
Not because I fight; I don't. Getting hit with the foam-covered bat-swords by the girls doesn't count as fighting, but no bruising! Anyway, I use them for art purposes since I have to draw the fighters in my comics. And the occasional shadow-boxing, but that just makes me sweaty and tired and sleepy. And upset that my left-hand punches suck.  |

| My black? I don't have a ... oh, "you're". Learn the difference.
Anyway, even when I'm unemployed I don't have the time to dedicate to anything other than school or my own company. Very impressed on the dedication, but all of that time could have gone to better use. Just wow. |

| I worked for Blockbuster (who is in bankruptcy, but irrelevant).
Anyway, situation was... I was tasked in January to install a version of our software I've never seen and never worked on onto 22 prototype devices to be shown at CES. This was on a Thursday, to be ready by Friday morning. I read up on the installation parameters and started installation. Due to issues with the build, I succeeded in completing five devices. I spent most of Thursday and Friday speaking to the development team about my installation issues. After new builds on Friday, we successfully installed on all 22 devices, but account activation was failing on the server side. This was a known issue, and required the assistance of the server team engineer that wasn't responding to e-mail or helping me get through activation on a project I've never seen or knew how to activate. I also didn't know what bug database the issue went into, or if the issue had already been logged or anything at this point. We spent a chunk of Saturday troubleshooting, but without the server engineer, we were stuck. Monday rolls around and the VP of Digital Technologies, whom is going to take these devices to CES on Tuesday morning, wants to know why none of the devices are ready. I explain what I know and reply that I haven't logged an issue against the problem we're having because I don't know where those issues go. He's not happy, but he also doesn't understand that I'm not on this project--I was merely tasked with loading the application onto the devices. I have no idea how the software functions on the front- or back-end and I have no way of activating devices without help from the server engineer. The server engineer rolls in an hour later, and in the next two hours, we knock out the 22 devices that were having trouble activating. Each activates and is able to download. The devices are packed up in their boxes and delivered to our VP, whom then promptly heads out to wherever he's going prior to hitting the road for CES. I figured there was no further issue and it was a big oversight on my lead's part not informing me that I have to log issues found on a project on which I'm not assigned and therefore have no access to the database. VP's perception at this point is that I've dropped a major ball over the weekend when no such thing has happened. But, it's all perception. My VP harbors and stews on this perception for two months, makes the decision that I can't be trusted to do my work (despite doing my work and then some for two months), that I can't work my full 40 hours (even though they hired me on--and he knew of this--with the knowledge that I would be gone for 8 hours a week due to school, and I offered each and every week to work up to 45 hours on weekends, but my manager never took up that offer), and that I was more of a liability than an asset. My managers and Director of QA, upon learning of my fate, tried to talk the VP out of letting me go and explain that the whole situation and his perception of it was incorrect. That I wasn't at fault for what transpired that weekend. But, on his power trip of being VP, his decision was final and I was laid off on Friday. My managers and Director are embarrassed by the way the situation was handled, without giving me an option to defend my place at the company and how unprofessional everything was handled. They're losing a valuable resource to their QA team over the ill perception of a VP, and had no ability to stop it. I'd say it speaks volumes of where Blockbuster--whom is in bankruptcy at the moment--is headed. I wish the company luck, but unless they make some drastic marketing changes, I'm not sure there will be a Blockbuster as it currently exists by the end of the year. Ah, well, I do have my own consulting firm to fall back on when stuff happens. And unemployment benefits. But, my resume is robust and my recommendations and professional references are sound and influential, so I don't worry too much. I'm just greatly upset at the way this was handled. |

| My integrity is fine.
And wrongful termination suits require substantial evidence that I only have as hearsay from management and a few e-mails exchanged that weekend. It wouldn't merit the court costs to pursue because I have my standing. I wasn't fired; my contract was merely cut short. |

| I do this a lot. This is one of the few times I filmed it. Also, I'm old. And colored portions of my hair red. Hi! Remember me?
I have happy songs. Some songs energize me to help my workouts. This one energizes me to just dance. In the car, on a plane, walking, running or--in this case--in my bedroom. I can't seem to control my face with this song. It just morphs into a weird, creepy, eerie happy face. Will you join me? Tag it XN3CITY if you do! (Last edited by Stitch on 07-14-12 12:25 PM) |

| BOOM! I have a few updated pictures. BTW, I'm 30 now.
Or 80 in gay years. First, I'm a furry and this is my fursuit: 
Second, I colored my hair red for SF Pride and I still have it right now: 
Third, I fight train now because I'm fat and I wanna learn to fight: 
Last, I cosplay Doctor Who things. This is a new-era UNIT soldier: 
There, you're caught up. Does this mean I'll be posting more? Possibly, since I remembered my password. And Rogue and I still hang out a lot. |
