I was just reading about old computers (instead of sleeping :P), and it's interesting that UNIVAC and Burroughs computers are absolutely nothing like each other. The 1100/2200 is a PDP-10-ish 36-bit architecture that dates back to the mid-1960s and is fairly straightforward old-school CISC, whereas the Burroughs large systems were flat-out weird and are more like the UCSD P-system or the Java VM (both of which were heavily inspired by the Burroughs architecture) than anything more traditional.

To put it another way: Imagine if TI's and HP's caculator divisions merged, and they managed to keep all their old products on. That's kind of what happened with Unisys.

Friday gave got some stuff for her FF XIII-2 characters. Serah now looks horribly out of place. Like she just walked out of Mass Effect, or something. But it's funny.

I'm tempted to install GNOME for some reason. I don't really need it, but at the same time that's never stopped me from installing anything before...
Season 1 is weird for me to watch now because Finn's voice got deeper and I kind of think of him as sounding the way he does now primarily.
I like how they're purposely keeping Jeremy as his voice and aging up Finn as a character as a result. It's refreshing, especially since most cartoons don't do that.
Yeah. I remember them talking about how the odd cracking in Finn's voice when he screams was initially unintentional, but that they kept it in and made it a thing because it sounded more realistic. Which is absolutely true.
Aaaaaaand I just got lectured -- again -- for not getting to work on time and/or not being able to concentrate when I'm here. I'm starting to wonder if my life is just entirely too stressful and I need to drop some things, because I've been freaking out and neglecting responsibilities a lot more in the past few weeks. :P
Money problems, work issues, delayed reactions to bad memories from the past...I'm going to end up in CPAT again if this keeps up. :(
I did some networking-related stuff just now, and I feel a little better, but I still don't know if I can concentrate enough to get any development done today.

Huh, my work schedule is usually pretty flexible, though my tendency to come in late and stay late has created problems in the past.
No one gives a flying fuck in this team. I also get things done, but I'll pull all nighters if need be...
My boss got upset at a meeting I was in, but he was upset with management of a project and the fact that none of the engineers had stepped up to aid me.
It was strange in that it seemed like he was yelling at everyone but me. We had a one-on-one scheduled for later in the day, so we got to talk about it.
Hmmm...Where do you work, Lee (or what type of industry, telecommunications, distance learning, etc...) Your job sounds a lot higher stress than the last several companies I've worked for.

I had no idea AmigaOS was even still a thing.
Also, Xubuntu installed GRUB updates and now the dual-boot screen thing where I choose my OS has Debian branding. This amuses me, for some reason.
Justice: Nominally software development, but as it's a small business, my home life isn't ideal (both of my parents are out of work and have been for years), and I have issues with dealing with stress to start with due to long-standing mental issues I'm only now getting a handle on, it ends up being a lot for me sometimes.
If I slept more, got to work on time, and didn't stay up watching TV or reading because I'm too wired or too bored to sleep, I'd be better off. Also, I don't have much of a life outside my family, and I've been told I should change that, but I always keep talking myself out of it. :P
I'm happiest when it feels like I'm working toward something, when it feels like I have a direction to go in, and when I feel like I'm drifting, all hell breaks loose. I try my best to keep it from happening, but it still does, and when it does I can end up being ineffectual for days or even weeks because I'm too embarrassed or just too devil-may-care about it to tell anyone. I guess it all comes down to communication.
And on top of all this: Yeah, I own a car and a house. But they're all on bank notes. It'll be years before they're paid off. And I barely make enough to cover all my bills and pay for my own food...if I need to buy food for the family or pay for special stuff, things get tight. This area is really expensive to live in, but I unfortunatley can't leave.
They also say you should have 3 months' salary in savings for an emergency. I have none. Zero. Zilch. If something were to happen to my job (my uncle died, I got fired, laid off or reduced in pay, something like that), I would have to declare bankruptcy or sell the house and the car if I didn't find work very fast. And if something happened to me, what would my parents do? Even with life insurance, they'd have no way to pay for homeowner's insurance or the property taxes. They need to find jobs, but between Mom's illness, my stepdad's limited skill set and the fact that both are over 40, no one wants to hire them.

I never sure of the particulars, but I'm wondering if you could collect unemployment if you lost your job. I don't think I've been working long enough that this would do more than give me a slightly longer amount of time, but friends who have been working for longer seem to somehow have MORE money when they're not working than before they stopped working for whatever reason.
Course, it's better to have a job, but it's a thought if things start to look worrying.

Going to present to my manager how Informix and Microsoft Report Builder/Business Intelligence Development Studios get along as well as the Bloods and the Crips.
The rest of the developers and I are not looking forward to this meeting.
