Yes indeed! Early ext year I'll ask Alexey for a quite on fixing and adding various stuff to the site and we can use that as the basis of a Kickstarter (or some other money raiser).
I don't want to do it just yet because I want to relax a bit over the xmas break.

Comic Talk and General Discussion *
2015 Rant/Share/General Discussion thread
Yeah! I was gonna suggest that too, since Patreon is both an ongoing funding option AND the community could contribute things to it as well! There's a lot of super talented people on this site and a handful of cool wallpapers, exlusive mini comics, tutorials and other things each month might be very appealing. It would be a chance for comics that get overlooked to display their talent (not that they should turn their donated work into a big ad for themselves, they'd have to have a broad appeal!) and could encourage our community members to pitch in to help.
Patreon is a tier based system, and donators can submit content to those individual tiers.
It could be a chance for some of those lesser-known talents to showcase their art while helping the community! Especially since you can submit content if you are a donator, so they'd be paying into the fund so they can show off their art in a better atmosphere. Just sayin', DD isn't the best at displaying a comics best assets from the main page unless they get a feature! And speaking of those, a donator feature/banner could be a tier people pay into as well!
The "rest of the year" is barely two weeks.
I lost my temper and went off on the dispatcher from work. I was sick after 56 hours of work so far and figured I would save the company overtime and call out. He said it was denied and that I would be marked a no call no show. I had called in good faith in plenty of time. So he was breaking nj state law by telling me that. I told him it was against the law to say that and he persisted. He just didn't get it that he was saying something you can't say to an employee under the law. Employers cannot deny the worker their right to call out if the employer is given specified notice and called in good faith. The employer can take no disciplinary action against the employee ( which is what a no call no show would be)
And there's the fact that I had already worked over 40 hours including staying past my scheduled time to cover a call out. So their short staff is not my problem and cannot be used as an excuse to force me to come in. So I can lodge a complaint with the Department of Labor and my employer can get fined. And after all the stuff they have pulled on my fellow employees maybe it's about time.
I suspect that dispatcher will be in hot water, especially if your employer isn't aware that he made that statement. We had one dispatcher who was fired when he made repeated threats to employees (including myself). The boss blew her top when we informed her what was going on (she didn't want to pay overtime). He WAS fired for violating that law where you can't tell an employee he/she can't call out when they provide advance notice and potentially getting the company in trouble.
Genejoke made a thread specifically about it. Share it there :)

Speaking of people you work with: damn guy with extreme nervous energy. Calm the hell down man!!!!!! Settle down, drink less coffee, take a chill pill, relax…
All that kind of attitude does is induce stress and panic, fight or flight etc. It means you introduce errors and mistakes, possibly massively embarrassing and very expensive ones!
In my expereince it's very rare to get a good result from rushing. Event in the direst situations when time is critical you have to take a moment, clear your mind completely and work smoothly and efficiantly like there's a total time vacuum, where nothing else in the world matters.
You work quicker that way and get things done without mistakes because your intelect isn't tripping over itself and getting in the way: you allow instict, muscle memory, and subconciously remembered actions to take over while intelect sits back and guides them in the right direction. The same principal applies to graphic design on a computer as it does to sports or phyisical labour.
Time was NOT a factor in this case. Said person was just anxious because he wanted something done. Being a total and utter pain in the arse.
Good on you Lonne. If you seriously want to do well with games released through Android you're going to need it to be promoted the right way so make sure to find out about games recomendation blogs… Stuff like Gizmodo Kotaku and Cnet are big pbvious mainstream places but there are also a lot of specific Android blogs and news sites like Android Central, Android Police and other places.

It's so hot here right now. Extreme heat. Hopefully the coming days it'll cool down to something more tollerable. I can't draw when it's way too hot or too unfomfortably cold.
Well it's 2am here and that means it's Christmas. I've already had two presents: One cat brought me a dead rat and the other got me a live gecko. Very generous…
The default PW ads are now some sexy artwork that points people towards the Quackcast! I hope you like them if you ever get to see 'em ^_^

I wouldn't say i's hot here, bu I'd say it's not how it should be… the climate is changing… Time to rewatch that movie "The Day Before Tomorrow"… no, no, "The Day After Yesterday"… I mean "The Day Afer Tomorrow"…
