Trying to watch the new season of Korra on nick's website. Emphasis on trying. It's more chore than anything else. Their streaming service sucks.

That does not bode well for me, because we will have to watch it through a proxy server, which means it will be even slower.

It stops in random places, forcing you to refresh the page and start over to fix it. You lose sound if it stays paused for too long. And it glitches randomly, losing areas of video about fifteen seconds long and skipping over them which also needs a restart to fix if it happens during a plot heavy conversation.

While in the US visiting Ngau's family, I found out that I missed another kakapo encounter in New Zealand. It's the #1 item on my bucket list to go to New Zealand to see the kakapo. There's only 130 of them left in the world and it's rare that they allow the public to see one (they are isolated on a special island and they have one that travels to zoos occasionally because he's otherwise useless for breeding so they might as well use him for education). That's happening these two weeks. And I missed it. Again.
Relatives 1, Kakapo 0

People who say, "On a scale of one to ten... It's an eleven!"
No it's not you moron! Your scale is utterly meaningless if you don't stay within its constraints.

I think they're going for a "Spinal Tap" reference.

My phone is dying... it's not receiving texts, the battery drains rapidly, even on standby, it takes like a full six seconds to open up the dialer, I'm SO over it.... Granted, it IS a Galaxy S2, so it's lived a long full life. Not to mention...

I had a Galaxy S5 before it got broken. Now I have this really crappy phone that doesn't register I'm getting a call until half an hour after the fact and the touch screen freezes up randomly so I can't press any buttons or end any calls. Last couple of days I've had to remove the battery just to get the screen unstuck.

As some of you know, I have been coloring some of the strips. I discovered (too late) that I had accidentally deleted most of a paint layer on the strip I'm currently working on. It's my "correction" layer which makes it more of a set back, though if it was any other layer I would of noticed it sooner.
But the most annoying thing is not the deletion, but proceeding to fix what I missed when I hadn't missed it after all.
Once I zoomed out... crap. The history wouldn't go back far enough and I'd already saved the file after the screw up.

My current annoyance is the Angels and Dodgers who both exited the post season in the first round. At least the Dodgers weren't swept. Ugh. Stupid Cardinals

Programmers use them all the time, but they are just as useful for non-code. Bitbucket is free and easy to use. I back up everything: projects, related docs, etc. And you have a log trail for if you ever need to go back.
