    Rope Washing

    I wash mine in the tub or a Rubbermaid bin with a rope brush and just water. Occasionally i add a few drops of dish soap. I take my super muddy caving ropes to the laundromat and wash in a mesh bag. Gets them super clean. I feel better about this as I don't lead on them...just jumaring/rappeling
  4. Lets all throw our shit in crevasses, too.
  5. Why did it take so long to get to this? Sharpen up, folks.
  6. Yaaaawn. First up Everest is so 1990s.

    Best heavy metal chick band. Brings back memories of seeing them in live. Thanks for posting that Kev.
  12. I suggest periodically saving your work. Every 5-10 minutes. Ctrl-s is the keyboard shortcut.
  13. At what age can I start him climbing??
  14. Here is a tip: Don't let your prototype look too polished. Otherwise, the dear leader will think it is closer to completion or easier to implement than it really is and give you an earlier deadline. I would suggest hand drawings are best for UI prototypes in this respect. The closer you get to something that actually looks like operational software, the greater chance you have of some executive reeling in your deadline or some sales idiot promising a customer delivery next month. More mature companies have more discipline in this regard, you'll have to figure out where the line is in your specific company. I read a paper a while back that observed the rougher (less complete) the prototype looked, the better feedback it got. Completed UIs get feedback such as "change this button text/color" or "move this button over there" while hand drawings got feedback like "I really need the system to be able to do X" or "this creen doesn't fit with the way i like to do my work". I'll post it here if i can find it again.

    Dammit they're getting freedom whether they want it or not
  16. Changing jobs isn't the answer. There are still weasels in the greener grass on the other side. I hope you didn't say anything you regret the dear leader hearing. If you kept it professional, there is little to worry about. In fact, a good leader will want to know that its not 'no problem' so the challenges can be acknowledged and mitigated if possible. If it was more of a a no-holds-barred venting session, then yeah, that sucks. Moral of the story is don't vent to your team mates. Certainly don't say anything you wouldn't want the boss to hear. As for the weasel..karma is a bitch. Being known as the weasel is punishment enough.
  17. Uh...thats the whole point of propaganda.

    'Arborcide'

  21. How much does it pay?
  22. Thats awesome, Marc. Brings back memories of the video projects I did in high school. My best was a piece on the life of midieval knights. The soundtrack included "Hair of the Dog" (Nazareth) for the jousting scene, "Knights in White Satin" (Moody Blues)for the credits and a hilarious chess playing sequence featuring the theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
  23. Lets go to Red Rocks or J-Tree...PM me.
  24. Jeez J, it sounds like you are implying Truck Nutz are not "useful". How do you figure?
