How do you measure time in your life.
9 years ago
And top of the morning to everyone,
So as some may already know that I've started the week of final decisions, nothing good to go over at all at this moment. This is the week that the top brass reviews workflow and makes decisions about my employment accordingly. I'm keeping a chipper outlook however and realizing that what happens well happens at this time.
Now on to the main event of the day, today's topic is drama, with a few sprinkles of FA issues added in. Brought to you by life.inc where we decide your future.
Such a lovely topic is it not, drama. As some may know that I've come back in with a very stern opinion of being drama free. That doesn't mean that I'm going to go "No drama or leave me alone" on this however bring it to my doorstep and I'll have a few things to say about it. In reality when most pass through the phases of life then we should gain the social cognitive ability to handle issues without upsetting the apple cart as it may be. Personally I don't judge people on their issues in life and truthfully don't care what preferences in sexuality,religion or political preference that you may identify with, if I poke at that then I will tell you I'm attempting (abit a horrible attempt) to make some humor. For people to hold on to things so fiercely and retort with almost a violent reaction tells me there are issues there that they need to sort out on their own.
Brings me to another topic of interest, the past is the past..end of story. I'm not saying to forget the past as it did shape who you are currently but understand that life moves on and people change. If that person comes to you and genuinely apologizes then hear them out on it. I guess in my older years I've learned that the little things are just that and not worth spending much time on. Life is a constant sea of change and movement, the ebb and flow of it is battering and brutal even at the best of times.
I guess the life lesson boils down to this, I'll hear about your troubles and whats bothering you but I'm not going to get wrapped up in it. If you don't care for me then grow a set and say so, otherwise come up and speak with me and get to know me as a person.
On to FA stuff...
Ok so FA has dropped the ball, off a 100 foot cliff down to a volcano which..yah basically FA has screwed up bad this time. I understand that the system is marginally bad but here are some pro tips for everyone that is complaining.
*Invest stock in more then one place, yah there are other art communities out there.
*Get a personal website if your an artist doing commissions (watermark your public artwork).
*Keep back ups locally of art you've done or purchased so you can reload it, better yet keep a back up of your FA page locally if possible.
*Get the Email Address of your clients and communicate via Email not through FA.
*Don't post sensitive/personal/erotica stuff through notes unless you can spare it possibly getting out to the world.
I guess the rule of common sense applies here, yes FA is using old code to support a forum and yes they badly need to update it to the 21'st century. The admins have likely weighed this decision already many times and may even be thinking of doing this however given the content on FA that could have some serious down time requirements to complete. Basically my point is to have redundancy in your options and invest a bit of spare change in to a branded name if your selling your artwork and use FA and other sites as a pointer record to a website you own to minimize down time/impacts. Also keep in mind anything put on the internet is now public information so be mindful of what you send through notes and put on journals.
I don't really have anything to add beyond that, been trying to find free time and if I've attempted to spend time with you but it sort of fizzled out its nothing personal. With what has been going on I've had to make some adjustments in free time and prepare for my future of whatever it is. Basically speaking things should pan out here soon to a nice even keel.
