Fuck you, Slack. There are NO unread messages.

It's been over a week. I'm losing my mind.

Grumble.
A Windows system tray icon for slack showing unread channel messages. But there are NO unread channel messages. It's been over a week. I'm losing my mind.

This new "feature" in Outlook is such a pain in the arse

Ah yes. My home office from the late 90s.

What's up, retro folks?

With CIV VII around the corner, it's going to be weird seeing my play time reset to zero.

This did make me chuckle over my morning coffi.
A meme in two horizonal panels. The top panel shows a woman wearing glass at the moment of fear and crying, with the main caption "Designers, when a company hires another design". The caption below the distressed woman says "Am I not enough?". The second panel below shows a chimpanzee and an orangutang from the modern version of The Planet of the Apes. The main caption reads "Engineers, when a company hires a new engineer". The caption below the primates reads "Apes together strong!" So true.

Is it time to watch the 4k version of Last Christmas by Wham?

Yup.

That about sums it up.

I do like this new layout in Teams with Charts and Channels merged, but come on Microsoft, add a column to the left to show all the tenants I am member of. Having to go top left every time a notification comes in from another tenant is such as massive hit on productivity.
A screen shot showing the new layout in Teams with chat and teams channels merged into one neat list. Which is nice but still lacks the finesse Microsoft seems unable to add to its products. It doesn't "delight me", it's purely functional.

Is it time for Xmas desktop backgrounds?

Well, there goes the window.
A saw cuts through the frame of a window with all the glass removed. The middle part of frame is partially sawn through and the rest of the frame is cut out. It's also very cold now that the window is gone.

Just realised I am well into my 40th year of coding.

This is an accurate picture of my when I started.

No AI was harmed in the creation of this image.

New Outlook proving again it's a piece of shit.

Where's my top window nav gone? Oh d/w we'll offset it for you so that you can't see/access it.

Nice feature /s

#outlook #microsoft #softwaregore
Screenshot showing the New Outlook application with the top essential nav bar missing not allowing access to menu items or ability to minimise, maximise or close the application. More software gore from Microsoft. There seems to be a layout offset issue that has shifted the bottom of the application inside its silly, useless, web container, up from around 64 pixels. I miss the professionalism, speed and quality of native apps - and I've been a proper web dev since Mosaic times - chipping out web pages in vim. The little work demon inside of me is not happy. There is basic hand drawn outline picture of him drawn on the page, looking sad and pathetic at Microsoft's QA and UAT. Considering how many Microsoft products I use, I see these kind poor quality mistakes daily, if not hourly across all their products. Mind you, I've used Xcode, so maybe things aren't that bad. Oh. Yes they are. I've used RAD and Delphi too. /s
