The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Krow]

My daughter was born October 2020 so probably not a pandemic baby but right on the line.

I swear @Bourbon also had a kid recently or am I tripping?

Yep! Haha.

Our son was born in late 2021. He just started walking about a month ago and now does shit like running to the trash can and trying to eat garbage. Good times.

R.I.P. Tom Sizemore. Just rewatched this episode yesterday.

Bad ending inbound.

my wife never knew her father. Her mother never knew who her father was. She’s spent her life being denied by “potential fathers” Today after months of research and thru a couple different dna testings we found him. Turns out he was a family friend and was killed in a car crash when my wife was 3. His parents have also passed.

we solved a bit of a mystery but also realized her father never knew of her existence and neither did her grandparents. Such a sad outcome for my wife and now our daughter.

I was working on recording earlier, and I've got most of the parts done for a 14 minute song. I just need to have my bandmate do bass and vocals, in addition to my own vocals that I'll be redoing. It'll certainly help to figure out what all the lyrics are gonna be.

That's good, I got like 200 songs written and most of them are between 3:30 and 4:30 and we only got a couple above 5 mins, I think I got 1 that is 8 Mins. If we put Guitar Solos in it that will be another 30 seconds on average. I write the Vocal parts first and most songs will be formed around the Vocals, I only wrote a couple songs to some riffs

Probably a little late on this but damn, did UM get an overhaul or something? Its been a bit.

 

[no country for old wainds]

ya, big server upgrade earlier this week.

 

[Bloopy]

Forum updated to a 7 years newer version of XenForo or some such like.

 

[MasterpieceMesias]

this shit looks weird on my phone but whatever. Site just got a facelift I guess

Weird for sure, but damn if it isn't kinda snappy.

I dont think im a fan of this new forum's layout. Seems pretty glaring to me. I liked the previous one better. Anyone?

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm not that big on the look either, but i'm just so used to forums changing over the years and i always get used to it eventually. this isn't the first makeover UM's had.

 

[Slammed]

To me this layout (dark style) seems more roomy. The info under the avatar is more spaced out I think. It makes most posts bigger but I think it's easier for old man eyes to read.
I think there is still a few options that could be done with some of the colour selections but that could also be old man eyes so I'll just change them locally on my screen and be done with it.
I also had to force Firefox back into using the proper English instead of telling me words like colour were always spelt wrong, but that's a minor issue that no doubt changed with a cache flush of the old site.

 

[Bloopy]

That probably means you have multiple dictionaries installed in Firefox. I only have the one proper one here, so no such issue.

I've gotten used to the update and it is snappy indeed. I think the text is actually smaller on my screen, which is fine for my eyes. At the next zoom level up the font gets kinda ugly somehow, but old fuckers get what they're given.

@EspaDa You can change themes near the bottom left corner if you haven't found it yet.

It's identical to another forum I use so it wasn't as shocking for me. It's way better for attaching gifs or images. Way better search function too.

 

[Slammed]

Way better search function too.

If only it could search other forums!

Joking or you didn't know advanced option exists?

I only got the casual (l)user subscription this year, it lack features but it comes at a budget price!
