Mr. Wiggin, excellent vid clip. But as so often is the case, I find myself asking why was someone recording this?

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).
Archinect
Feb 20, 17 5:37 pm
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.
Archinect
Feb 20, 17 5:39 pm
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.
Don Kashane
Feb 20, 17 5:57 pm
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.

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.

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..)

Up until now, I've only seen this type of stairs outside the US, how come this NY apartment can get away with it?
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...

AIA leaders, stay Gold. Soon, SNL will be doing parodies of you.
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?

Saturday a friend passed away, she was young mid 20s, didn't manage to live yet but had a career she loved.
Just needed to vent guys, nothing else.
This is
TC not showing up properly on iPhone. Last comment I can see is Feb 15.
Same here.
Same here
This has been fixed for the iPhone app
We had a power outage at work this morning, so now my desk is really clean and I hate it. I can't find anything.
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.
I can report that Miles is alive & well, had a good conversation w him yesterday, what a great guy.
Now it shows replies inline with the original post on the app. That's awesome!
My right foot being painful isn't so awesome. Can't get into my doc until Tuesday.
Yes, we updated the iPhone app forum with these latest updates, so it should be working properly now. Sorry to hear about your foot!
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.
Perhaps show some sympathy for what was, while not my own surgery, a truly fucking stressful event with a dear friend? Jesus, tintt.
I'm sorry.
Puddles and I are both alive.
Any progress with the pants?
I'm now in a walking boot for the next 4-6 weeks, so that's fun.
Also, this snow sucks.
What you do? Kick some rocks?
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.
To follow up - it's officially a stress fracture.
This is really disturbing, I don't know if it's because of the overall national environment or what.

Seems folks don't want their neighborhood gentrified...
"folks"....with bombs
seems a bit excessive
I'll go out on a limb and say that any car-bombing is disturbing, not just this one.
Absolutely! How many car bombings to urban planners have you seen lately?
Fortunately, it's harder to bomb a bike...
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.
how long till I get these redlines back?........all day
how long am I gona be on archinect as a result?......all day
3 months in the new firm, am I happy?.....all day
Nam, it was first thing in the morning so I couldn't have called it a day. Since the power was out, the office manager made us all clean our desks.
*Bump and @Philarct +1
Am I the only firm owner with a very slow February & March? Usually it picks up w/spring coming, but I've gotten a very long string of "your price is too high" people. Stupid Trump economy.
Please look at this nice space, what's wrong with this picture?
Up until now, I've only seen this type of stairs outside the US, how come this NY apartment can get away with it?
Please some NY practitioners chip in....

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...
Yes, not close to 3 ft wide.
I enjoyed the individual defending it in the comments. Don't worry about that whole requirement for a central rail on wide stairs (unless it's a monumental stair).
I guess NYC building officials don't look at dwell mag, or the pay doesn't make it worth the effort.
Ladies and Gentlemen, of the AIA, I give you; Brother Zee, err, Jim Belushi.
Chuck Berry dies, and we get a white actor fronted "blues" band.
AIA leaders, stay Gold. Soon, SNL will be doing parodies of you.

Wasn't it Kevin Bacon one year?
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?
Come on, I'd settle for MMMmmmmbop.
[more than two]
Kanye and Kim - the duets.
I'm not going to Orlando. I never want to go to Florida (unless it's directly to the Keys, where my 1st cousin runs a charter deep sea fishing boat).
However! If Alabama Shakes played the Convention, I would definitely go.

Derp. Still don't have the threaded comments down.
What happened to being able to like an article, are we all meant to do the same via facebook/google rather than on Archinect now?
About 0.000001% of readers of an article used the like button, so we got rid of it.
Fake news, obviously. But seriously, the like button was only clicked, on average, once per 5,000 article views (0.02%). We'll leave the thumbs up to the posts on Facebook. We're still considering adding a thumbs up/like option for comments though.
juicy!

There's even a Netflix series with him in it, must be doing something right.
