A copierAfter four months of unemployed bliss and non-stop coding, gaming, and loving on my fiancĂ©e, I am once again employed at a retail printed document reproduction center. That is, I’m working at a copy shop… again. However, it is at a different national office supply store chain1.

This time, however, I’m not working at the regional hub. No more 50,000 click2 jobs with binding and collating due in a week for me. I get to send that crap3 to the hub! <insert evil maniacal laugh here>

For those of you playing at home, the title of today’s entry is the Wiktionary’s definition of the word “job.”

  1. I am being intentionally vague to protect myself and my employer from any litigation that may result from my ramblings posted on The Cricket Log. []
  2. A click is industry terminology for a printed side of a page. []
  3. Well paying crap, but crap nonetheless. []

Cricket Moods 7.0 (Just Kidding)

3

(Having been written on April first, this is, of course, a joke. I was hoping for something more than one weird pingback. No one loves me… Well, okay, Mr. Biech loves me.)

I have just released Cricket Moods version seven point oh! I think you’ll enjoy the changes I’ve made in this version:

  • The main portion of the plugin is now developed in Visual Basic .NET.
  • Smilies are now required to be flash animations, allowing for a greater degree of flexibility and “wow! factor.”
  • Interfaces with a database of moods contributed by thousands of users across the globe.
  • Smilies can now be uploaded directly from your browser (requires Internet Explorer 7 and installation of ad-supported browser toolbar; Firefox, Safari, Opera support soon!).

In order to maintain a higher quality product, Cricket Moods is now a closed-source commercially supported plugin. A license key is now required in order to use the plugin. Personal licenses can be purchased for as low as five US Dollars. Thanks for your support!

Hummina, hummina, hummina!
