  • She poly bombed me, came out as narcissist, and made derogatory remarks about me making a solid effort to understand poly and maintain our marriage.

    Now, she’s still extremely mad at me, still very much acting like a narcissist would, and I’m the one in a harmonious poly relationship.

    It’s hella tough, making a split family work when she absolutely refuses to communicate directly with me. My poor kids are stuck in the middle of this mess which will likely never mend.

    But apparently that’s better than giving me just a couple of weeks to get to grips with her desires. It’s hard to forgive.


  • HyperCard! There’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. It was marvellous, for its time.

    I’m appalled to see it compared to some shitty MS product (that I have no knowledge of), and I’ll just add that I have never encountered our hard of this bonkers “previous page is still active” issue in HyperCard - but I readily believe it’s there in 365.







  • I have never put it into words like that, more like “make zero assumptions”.

    I suppose that being overly thorough can make documentation prone to becoming tedious (unless cares is taken to not talk down to the reader) or too tightly coupled (incurring the need to be updated more often as details of the process change).

    How do you usually deal with that aspect? What I do is to make the documentation easily skimmable (for advanced readers) and just accept the need for rework.






  • Fun fact: it used to have 13 bars, but changed to the current 8 because 13 bars could not be made pretty on (8-pin) matrix printers.

    Fun fact: exactly once, the team organising IBM’s participation in the Copenhagen Pride parade got away with wearing t-shirts with the bars printed in the rainbow colours. Immediately after, they were notified that such alterations to corporate branding was unacceptable.
    ^(I cherish the two shirts I still have.)
