    I've not only heard that, I've got the multi track masters to most of their songs. Every now and then I mix my own versions up, especially the AJFA songs.

  • two #1 albums for me : the above and ( paradise lost - shades of god ) was playing for many many many months and Hey .. tonight.

    It's a shame his bass was buried, he gave a kickass performance on that album. He's no geddy lee or john myung but still..

    I had a customer who, quite unexpectedly, sent me strange images and documents and asked me if I can help her with Knights Templars problem of hers. She acted absolutely ordinarily and quite mundane for almost a year that I knew her prior to that, which contributed to my surprise about her out of character calls. Then, in two weeks she was gone. And I mean gone gone: her law firm got renamed, new family moved into her flat, her social media and phone number rendered unreachable. I wonder where she moved to and why, considering she had very lasting working relationships with her clients, working for same families for decade and more.

    Having a wife is always good.
    I've seen people get fat after getting married, which means it's good. Cooking means love. A couple that can feed each other well is a happy couple. So in a way, potato is love, potato is life.

    You mean she is a spy or got kidnapped by spies? I thought she is a loonie but that didn't add up with everything else I knew about her. Could be a spy, I guess. I wouldn't know why spies are interested in bloody rituals and magical artifacts of hidden lodges no one confirmed to exist in the first place. Well, at least she paid me in full.

    LOL Madonna. Can't sing, no talent whatsoever...

    Tough one.
    There are too many on the #1 spot.
    Let me think about it.

  • About 20 years or so ago had a client call me up and said her new monitor wasn't working. I said did she have some one install it and she said the guys from Best Buy came in and hooked it up. So I crawled my ass over there and looked at it.

    She it the button on the monitor and nothing, no lights, just dead as a door nail. She asked if it was defective and I told her probably. She got on the phone and I went looking around the computer and realized hey it is not plugged in. Not even a power cord hooked up to the monitor, so I grabbed one plugged it and it works.

    She tells the guys from Best Buy this and they argue that the new flat screens do not need a power cord. She told them off and said that she had to pay me for the install because they hire two balled jackasses from the state of doucheachussettes and can't find their asses from the hole in the ground.

    I ended up not charging the lady because the whole thing was just freaken ridiculous enough to make me laugh for years.

    Does it have to be a customer? Because I know someone in the industry who once received a DMCA notice requesting the takedown of alleged child porn.

    Think really hard about that. Might take a minute to sink in. You’ll tell that story to your grandchildren if you get it.

    I am totally fine with Creating invoices with markup. But I am not fine when it is a whooping 1000%. On the other hand I am totally fine if that 1000% is divided among 10 ten peoples.

    I just dont want people / public freak out and think my product is freaking expensive.

    The reason is probably enterprise customers. $1000 is still about 20x cheaper than fairly standard enterprise software support contracts.

    She was probably killed by some shadowy organisation we never heard of

    The only way I could see this even being plausible would be if someone was sexting someone else and got their picture put up on a "revenge" website. I still think this leads to trying to handle it themselves- rather than go to the proper channels, but otherwise the mind boggles how the hell this would even happen.

    Certain middle eastern gentleman ordered a 4 core VPS with 8 GB RAM and opened a ticket shortly after where he asked if the server was halal, and if not, do we provide halal servers.

    The server was stunned and hung upside down before being racked. Technician made sure to not eat bacon for breakfast.
