@Sam

If I was Sam then I'd be considering a subtle, raised middle finger, accompanied by a sneer on his otherwise cherubic features , right about now

[Sam]

Hmmmm you're not buying my fists though

I do that because concealed in one of my hands is a remote for the camera. The quickest and easiest way to hide it is to make a fist and i'd look even more daft with one clenched and one not. I'll practise my slight of hand to see if i can hide it in a less aggressive manner.

Cheers for the input

Aha! It all makes sense….. I thought you were just a camera shy photographer lol!

I thought he was a grade school teacher?

He's is actually @JCMx800 from the future coming back in time to model gear.

@Sam why not just use the timer with remote trigger? It's what I used to do. Still hit the button and all that, gives you either 2 or 10 seconds to put shiz in your pocket.

@Snowy

That's what i do do… I have 2 seconds but i'd rather not faff around trying to hide it in a pocket.

I'll try looking less "aggressive" in the future.

It's too damn hot outside to wear UHFs!!!!

Very true. High here today is 86 degrees fahrenheit (30 C) and I haven't worn any UHFs in awhile.

Yep, nothing but t-shirts for the next 6-7 months.  Hey, at least the bluebonnets are pretty…

I've been doing work for an agency whose client is allegedly a fintech startup, however they don't have anyone with a technology background on staff, and are subcontracting that part of their operations.

Said client isn't happy with progress, which is largely down to them not giving me a specification to work to. I reckon the project's got another couple of months work (spread across two developers), but they've spoken to a different agency whose initial estimate is that it can be done in three weeks. The net result is that we might be dropped, payment withheld, and so on.

The thing is that three weeks isn't feasible. Development teams don't scale linearly (if you add more people you need more management, hence the output per person falls), and it'll take that long to get the app tested by Apple for inclusion in their store. So the other agency's sales pitch is being used as an excuse to screw over the people I've been working for.

@TrickHell:

I sort of miss America and to a lesser extent LA, but I don't miss the weather.

You don't miss the sunny weather? As someone who hails from the UK this baffles me…

I can understand not missing LA as I didn't think much of it when I have visited, but the Southern California weather I gotta say I liked.

Just opened my email from you guys and Sam's looking much more relaxed. Waaay better, buddy.

I once had a strange moment on a bus in LA. It was November and I was wearing shorts and a tee, sweating my ass off, a dude gets on the bus wearing a wool trench coat, a wooly hat and a scarf. We both looked at each other like the other one was nuts…
