District 9 is worth seeing. It shows how the powerful comes to understand the powerless.

Forums are down because our network connection at the datacenter is down. Should be back soon.
@misa_v that sounds totally h4wt!!!11 Maybe we could do one for the forums, too.
@snowboardbunny glad we could be of use! ;)
@misa_v My lifestyle is totally nu-jazz, so back the fuck off. I'm all spas and mani-pedis and $12 bruschetta and shit.
@misa_v I need dumb clients with deep pockets. The non-standard UI is frustrating. And 99% of it can be done in straight up HTML/CSS/Java.
@steadierfooting I hear you. It is especially bad when you want to check a restaurant's menu when you're out, and it is all flash. GAH! FAIL
@misa_v And like I feel like sitting here to some poorly encoded, fuzzy nu-jazz shit on endless loop... Oh and the font! It never ends!
@misa_v Restaurants, hair salons, and photographers tend to be the worst offenders. How do designers convince people this is good?
@misa_v Actually, I'm looking at the site for Horizons, which is worse, if that's possible: http://www.horizonsphiladelphia.com/
@misa_v No, but sweet jesus, that is an offense to all that is good and holy. How many clicks does it take to get to the info you want?
And auto-play music on a website makes me even more stabby.....
People who deploy entirely flash-driven websites should be punched repeatedly in their nether regions.
@DJMcBastard Sorry to read about the theft, Kye. I have no idea what to say, except that it is fucking awful. Hang in there.
@milanoe ...and I agree, it is a hard situation to justify. But in truth, I do for them what they need to live, as they are family.
@milanoe Thanks. To be frank, your entry is confused on a lot of levels, though. I know the issues, and have thought about them extensively
@misa_v I'm the same way. I can't feel bad for doing the right thing for the animals to whom I've made the commitment of care.
@emeldaortiz I think that makes a lot of sense for many reasons. Please do share. BTW, don't know if I said it, but I liked meeting you two!
@snowboardbunny That is precisely how I feel. We made that commitment, and like you, we take it very seriously.
