For Seattle folks who read #horror #scifi or #fantasy, there is an author reading coming up hosted by a group that organized a cool event I went to LA Festival of Books:

(I am in no way affiliated with the group nor have I read any of the authors, but the one I went to was fun.)

There are 2 main rivaling programs to handle your scientific references. One is free/libre software (#Zotero), the other is not (#Mendeley). Guess which one you should use?

Hint: if you use the closed source one, it will encrypt your article-database and not give you the possibility to decrypt and export it.

Announcer: Do we have any groups of three?

Me, to kids: "Do we have any groups of pi? Just kidding. That would be irrational."

Tek Jr.: PLEASE stop.

"So, you're a doctor?

"...Yes."

"Cool. So which common questions that people ask upon finding this out do you like answering, if any?"

"Uhh... well, none of them really, to be honest."

"Noted. Well in that case, seen any good movies lately?"

"Oh wait, I just remembered a question I don't mind answering sometimes."

"Hmm? What's that?"

"...actually, maybe not while we're eating..."

"It's about butts and objects in them isn't it...?"

"Yeah..."

Dealing with paycheques at my day job: "We fucked up payment for the entire organisation but we'll still get paid several times what you do anyway lol"

Getting paid for writing: I openly insult the people paying me every time I email them and nobody cares. It's brilliant.

Is anybody else learning #AmericanSignLanguage around here? I'm sure we have #Deaf or #HardOfHearing people who know it, but would it be super duper boring for you if there were folks on that tag with learning or practice?

(NB: I'm aware that capitalization matters with d/Deaf and HoH, but I try to make a habit of using CamelCase for hashtags, which is why they are formatted that way.)

If you use Microsoft's new browser to look at porn, is that considered Edging?

It is done. Might need adjustments later, but for now it's done. #knitting

Oh my god, #DnDGate on is the funniest thing. Noted bigot RPGPundit threw a temper tantrum and pretty much every other #tabletop gamer decided to take over his "#DnDGate" hashtag and make it about the best doorways in .
