oh come the fuck on
Dear Delicious.com,
...you don't know this about me, there's really no way you could but let me summarize the last week of February through the first week in April for you.
I've been assigned to script and test one hundred something different defect and defect parts on a computer program located on servers who had to get a firehose from the local firemen to cool down after their cooling system broke--I swear I have the email and I forwarded that to everyone I ever met, state data was on a computer being cooled by men holding firehoses. Men. Holding. Firehoses.
This is my life.
I have three![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti fic due of lengths between 7K and 10K words because the thing I forgot is when I'm writing long fic, I keep doing it until I crash or get writer's block or perhaps the absurdity of working on a statewide network that spans hundreds of thousands of computers was held together one glorious day by men with firehoses will eventually lead to darkness and despair. Whatever.
Delicious, there used to be a drop down at the bottom of the page where you could specify the number of entries per page. I had it defaulted to one hundred. It is now at ten and there is no drop down to fix it back to 100.
Where did you hide it?
This is what sanity looks like when it hangs by a goddamn firehose with all of my completed work.
Sincerely,
Seperis
PS: Okay, it's under display options drop down where the number of bookmarks is. Is it just me or are programmers sadists? I suddenly understand why schools require they take a semester philosophy course that comes down to "The Strange Thing Called the End User". It's also obviously not enough.

From:It took me forever to find where they'd moved the option to edit tag bundles (now under "options" on the tag column), so I feel your pain.

From:It took me over an hour to find it, after they moved it and all my settings were deleted because of a new hard drive at work.

From:Why can't we just hang out and write fic and be paid for it instead of wanting to headdesk so much?
*stares at bits of Nico!fic* You should prod me about this in my lj. I have the beginnings of a drabble/fic? I think?

From:Or maybe just because it was pointless, since GUI didn't really exist back then.
The last project I was on, I remember arguing for a feature that I thought the users would really like. (It would replace the need to print and compare two screen printouts, with a single screen.) The system architect kept shooting me down because "it wouldn't look as good."
