Any chance well get the option to upload images directly from file? Image hosting sites are caulk-blocked via my office's web filter so it's an unnecessary pain to get non web images in posts. I took a few caulk pics earlier this week just for the caulk discussion too.
issue as EI noted still on default internet browser for Samsung phone.
also, can we get "enter" to work when using phone? and can we choose with which moniker to "reply" with.
i can only do so much with my psychic electromagnetic skills.....the following is starting to creep me out, but does anyone else "know" or "think about said person" and then check email and see you have an email from that person. not joking, and posting this under a moniker so you don't think I am too weird, but seriously I am have a ridiculously accurate prediction/awareness of when people email me without looking at phone or outlook in last few months. starting to concern me a bit. you shouldnt be able to do that.....example - i start thinking about various projects, then i just randomly think about one i have not thought about and sure enough if i check email, i receive an email from the person i link to that project. i know archinect can't help me here, but seriously has anyone else noticed this lately? or just next time you think about a project or person, check email....

Anyone else using the app noticing that new posts on TC aren't showing up? Last post I'm able to see in this thread, using the app, is Non Sequitur's FEB 15, 17 5:22 PM post.

The forum in the iPhone app will be updated. Likely before that happens, however, the forum will become mobile friendly, so it will be better to just go to the forum on Safari.

Also, Archinect, you never answered as to why some people's "replies" (not comments, just replies to other commments
) show up in their histories and some don't (mine have not).
Feb 20, 17 4:52 pm ·
·
Archinect
Don, the reason is because the history reflects your posts based on whether you're posting with your username, or your real name from your Archinect profile. When you post a reply to a comment, the reply will be using the default that you have set in your profile settings.
Feb 20, 17 5:37 pm ·
·
Archinect
It looks like you have your profile settings set to use your username when commenting, by default, but you seem to often override that setting when posting your comments by selecting your real name. If you prefer to use your real name to post, then we recommend changing your default setting in your profile settings.
Feb 20, 17 5:39 pm ·

Don Kashane
I don't know what you mean by "override", I only ever use "Don Kashane", which is an alias obviously, and that's all I have listed in my settings; I don't click on anything that would cause an "override", I just post. I compared other alias names, like "Everyday Intern", and his replies to comments are listed in his history (like those in this thread posted on Feb. 10, when you started this new format), as are several other alias names I checked, so I don't really understand what's different in my alias name.

So, I don't want to *totally* laugh at this job posting, though I probably could; I'm sure it is an excellent opportunity for someone out there.
I just don't understand the desire for immortality. AT ALL. It seems like a nightmare to me, to live forever.
But I suspect many architects *do* desire immortality, and making buildings is a way to try to achieve it. But the idea of working with an architect designing a facility for *actual immortality* strikes me as a workplace full of the worst egos imaginable. I'd rather be dead.

Nope... No red flags there. I'm sure he'll attract some "highly qualified" architects.
tduds, read it, good piece....only thing though, what if things get better over time? what if the results are good? (this is a complex measure, but lets say economy continues to boom and we do not go to war, etc...)
your qoute in reference to my post "It doesn’t matter what the actions are if the results are the opposite of what was promised. That’s not follow-through, that’s a scam." obviosly your republican friends do not believe you? but what kind of friends don't talk to you over politics man?
Happy weekend TC. Just pointing out that I LOVE my new job. Great people, wonderful environment. SO glad I move out of my old job which had really become a mentally unhealthy place for me, even though the salary and benefits and schedule were good.
So, onward. Age 50 (in a few weeks) and still changing! Architects live to be old, most of us, right?
Working on a really cool project for a competition has working all weekend at the office feeling like school. That feeling coupled with time and a half overtime? I'll take it.
Interesting hypothesis.. look around the office and the "old architects"; the 50+ grey hairs. They are usually somewhat of a rare and elusive sighting comparatively if you rule out principals and owners. I think the AIA, particularly run by the secretive FAIA members has "Carousel" with old architects who didn't get initiated. "Renew and be recycled!" (secret AIA convention photo below) .... sad part is that us "old architects" are probably the only ones who'll get this reference (Logan's Run for you children..)
Meh. I was thinking about it, but there's absolutely nothing about Orlando that I find appealing, and the convention center looks like it's way the hell out in the middle of a suburban wasteland. Not worth the time and money to get there from Seattle, IMO.
I think next year's convention is in NYC, though, and I'll make a point to attend that one.

Video conference staff meeting today. Will there ever be a day again where I'm not nervous about what it is going to be about? Ever since 2009, the anticipation of staff meetings give me tiny panic attacks.
Thanks for the update gruen! I miss miles. He could be harsh but he was funny and smart.
So last night I came down to a remote cabin in Kentucky with 7 other ladies for a weekend of wine and Brad Pitt movies. One of the ladies woke up this morning with abdominal pain. Long story short, 3 of us drove an hour to an ER midday; it's now 9:30pm and I'm in an OR waiting room while she gets her appendix out!
I hate to whine but damn. Was really looking forward to some downtime.

Perhaps be thankful you aren't in a hospital getting your appendix out.
Well you know, I had to teach an intern a lesson. Real answer is that it appears that the right shoe of one of my dress shoes needs re-soled and wearing them caused a strain or stress fracture.

The intern lesson teaching sounds more plausible to me... and I love the worn-out heels on some of my dress shoes.
Hey TC been awhile! Had to comment as we were on 2nd page...
Made a big deadline and things temporarily slowed down at work, so I started working may way through the TC backlog, still have a 10-15 pages to go. Seems page turnover has slowed though in recent 6-12 months.
Nice to see that Barry dropped by.
@Donna, assuming you didn't you take the stretch limo to the remote cabin for ladies weekend, given the date stamps on posts? Hope your friend is all right, but way to kill a party.. :P
Of Yeezy's recent output I have liked this song and this song quite a bit.
@Josh I don't get the connection between power outage and clean desk? Was it cause you didn't have anything else/better to do? There is always a nap or you could just call it a day?
And my condolences archiwutm8.

I'll bet if you looked at the City-approved plans, you would find the missing guardrails and handrails. Temporary guardrails and handrails get installed for final inspection, then "mysteriously" disappear. I don't think this is confined to work outside of U.S.
They also look a little narrow, though...

Two things; first, he's married to Kyra Sedgwick - win in my book. Second, he's closer to gen-X than Belushi. And C, he's not ripping off his brother, who stole from Muddy Waters and Ray Charles. AAAAND D, nothing says white man's overbite and boomer hellscape like the words blues and Belushi.
If we trying to get people to come - young, healthy, non-Ensure drinking, AIA members - then how about RTJ? Young Jeezy? Yeezy? Gwen? J-lo? Ozzy?
