I feel like I didn't do much today...

I had a phone call this morning from a recruiter regarding a PHP position, and a meeting this afternoon with another recruiter (the one thefrenchmaid put me in touch with). The meeting went well, and he thinks that he might be able to help given my experience and knowledge. *fingers crossed

Yep, that's Hunt alright.

That is definitely Hunt - I saw that tie in his house last summer...

First, Vista sucks rotten dinosaur eggs. I feel your pain.

If that ever happens to you again, when you go to re-download your file and you see the one you want in the Save As dialog, right click on the file you want (in the list), then open up Windows Explorer, go to a real folder, and paste it there. File dialogs in Vista (and I think XP as well) allow for basic file copy/pasting, renaming, etc...

I've run into this problem before. I hate the fact that Outlook is retarded enough to allow you to save in the temp folder (seriously, it's old enough now to have avoidance logic built in) and Vista for trying to be too smart and hiding folders on you. Vista thinks it's smarter than you and tries to protect you from yourself. Grr...

I'll remember that. (I thought I'd tried right-clicking on the file in the Save As dialog, but nothing happened. Perhaps I'm misremembering.) Thanks!

And yeah, the idea that Vista thinks it knows what I want is annoying, and I can't understand why I would be able to save in the temp folder either. There are other folders that Vista won't let me save stuff in - why can I save there? It makes no sense.

(Offhand I can't recall which folders Vista has defaulted to read-only, but I know I've seen that error message, and it's forced me to save in the My Documents folder. Dammit, when I say I want to save something in the root directory of my C drive, that's where I want to save it! I know what I'm doing... most of the time. ;) )

Wait, did you get laid off? Did I miss a memo?

[boywhocantsayno]

Yes, a week ago Wednesday. I posted about it, but it was part of a long post that talked about other things as well, and you may have skipped it. It's here.

Okay. I confess :D

[boywhocantsayno]

I knew it! :P

(Now I need a thread bomb that depicts Lucy from Peanuts yelling "Aha!" I know such a frame exists in at least one strip, but it doesn't turn up in the first ten pages of hits on Google. ;) )
