We need a self help group
Does anyone else here feel like they might as well have a full time job at instructables? I need some kind of Instructablers Anonymous group. I wouldn't be surprised if I spend 40 hours a week on here. (Can any of the staff members check that for me?) Anyways...I'm sure I'm not alone here...

I needs it too. I spend 15 hours a week at school or doing school work, 45-50 at work, and I lose sleep here at instructables. :P

Sorry for pulling a Kiteman on you = )
But it's the Law

They're more like guidelines, anyway.

. I thought I was the only one that noticed that. :) Definitely not Laws, in the scientific sense. . Since everyone seemed to be having so much fun with, I kept my mouth shut (doesn't happen often).
Reply 12 years ago
No, not laws. But a good, silly 'inside joke' for instrucables regulars.... And a decent amount of common sense, too.
I didn't really think gyromild was being an inquisitor (just wanted to slap a cheap 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ref in there.)

Yes, many iBles and topics have stated it before, and I will again, Instructables is like ! I spend quite a bit of my time here also, but I guess it's better here than somewhere else (RPG - gah!)

*sigh* I remember when RPG was a programming language *sigh*

I remember when RPGs only needed paper, pencil, funny dice and ten-inch pile of rule-books to ignore.
D&D, AD&D, Heroquest, Runequest, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Warhammer, Paranoia - all classic games, not a PC or joystick in sight.
(Loved Paranoia - I used to be able to run a game on the fly, even kept a d20 in my pocket, just in case.)

Oh how I love those dice. I remember walking down to the local curio shop with my brother and buying my first d20. My first actual game was my 9th grade Role-playing club, which was the only time and place on campus where you could argue over how tall standard elves should be and pretend to get drunk without people looking at you funny.

Damn, RPG was from the 60's, and I thought COBOL was old.

Well, I did a little assembly language popping and pushing too :-)

Who said punch cards were out of date? They make wicked greeting cards when you tape two together.

Hmm, which ones? The 80 column I assume you mean and not the 96 column ones LOL (the 96 col ones were small squares)
Reply 12 years ago
I think the 80 column ones yes.
Reply 12 years ago
80 col and 96 col cards respectively:
Reply 12 years ago
That 96 col card is bigger than it should be. It was only about 2 inches across the top
Reply 12 years ago
. I don't remember ever seeing a 96-col card, but that 80-col one sure brings back some memories; not many of them pleasant. Whiteout doesn't seem to do much good on a Hollerith card.
Reply 12 years ago
The 96 col never became very popular. Cards were going by the wayside and it was IBM's last ditch attempt at making them smaller and so more easily stored. But they were doomed. I came across them in my adult Vo-tech programming course as they had moved up to those.....in 1982, and discarded them by 1984 LOL

Yeah, I definitely need an IA group..... I'm "hella" busy with APs, college apps, and research papers, yet I still find myself here at least 3 hours a day....
Reply 12 years ago
But you don't find at least 3 hours a day for me ='[
Reply 12 years ago
Weiss, I don't find 3 hrs a day for anyone..... not even myself.........

Oh, but you have time for a...a.. A ROBOT?!?

Wow... thats a bit... creepy...

An IA group ? I could use an AI group :-)

"self help group" is an oxymoron. ;D
Reply 12 years ago
That would be absolutely true if everyone in the group shared the exact same disorder, at the exact same level. Otherwise, each person's unique experience, could in fact be helpful to another. ;-)

Well, I saw it on a t-shirt. No, here. (it is next to the "drunk" category on the left)

Haven't seen much of LasVegas and Lemonie lately. Think they've been cured.
Reply 12 years ago
Yeah, lasvegas is still posting, just not as much. Lemonie on the other hand..
Reply 12 years ago
Las Vegas is till around ,but he is probably even more busy than I am.
Reply 12 years ago
I hope not. But I was wondering about them too. :(
Reply 12 years ago
. I'm getting worried about lemonie. He hasn't posted since the 7th. I sent him a you-still-there? PM and haven't received a response (but it was less than 24 hrs ago)

We need more open source software. I really dislike windows. But I must use it in my day to day life
Reply 12 years ago
We need more well designed, user-friendly open source software. I cannot freaking tell you how many hours I have wasted trying to install opensource software with crappy (or no!) GUIs. Not even worth the bother. Heck, that's the only reason Photoshop is still top dog. You can do things in it 10 times faster than other free programs.
