work/trades...what do you do for a crust?

[Mr Crudley]

Dogs have amazing senses of smell. There's a good book called Inside of a Dog, written by Alexandra Horowitz which gives some insight into how that smell totally shapes their sense of the world.

They use their excellent sense of smell to sniff each others butts when they meet?
Has to be bit of a let down to waste that sensory awesomeness on butt.

Well when the gland that dogs use to mark their territory is there, it's more like bowing while exchanging business cards.

How many of these dogs are working and earning their keep? There is another thread for doggy style.

Don't we have KPIs for thread derailment?

Great place to put a lets-meet gland, nice one nature

Sooo... when does it open? Fark mate even @hifiandmtb could build a slide faster than that...

Once I saw the power bill for keeping the fans and pumps running I thought its best left to someone with money to burn.........haha

I have a cat. Her job is to ambush me from under the table and give me a a couple of ankle taps and a gentle bite without drawing blood. She usually gets it right.

I think it would be a full time job training a cat to be a trail cat. You'd need a kitten for starters, maybe tracking collars. It would definitely go viral though and you'd maybe have a new career

Border collie energy in a stockier frame with more fluff.

I’d like a short haired BC, or BC cross. Too hard with working away though, need to be around for a dog. I feel bad leaving our 13yo BC when I go to work. Would love to have a trail running dog

No more dogs go to the pets thread.

No more dogs go to the pets thread.

Or just start a whole new thread with the same name as a well used existing thread.

Labradoodles don't shed, and she's a great dog and plops herself against me at weird angles no matter where I'm sitting. Just like a cat!

I'm a dog groomer. Labradoodles DO shed, it just gets caught up in the coat and your groomer has to deal with it. Don't even get me started on the poorly bred mutts passed off as Labradoodles, everything from cavalier, cocker, shizhu, wolfhound, and even an old english sheepdog x poodle sold with "papers" as a Labradoodle. Not saying your breeder was dodgy but there's so many scammers out there.

I started in general IT and moved to making websites websites in 1995, and for the last few years have run a team of 10 at CSIRO that makes, maintains and supports them. We launched a new version of the main one a couple of weeks ago, pretty happy with it.

Sitecore is a beast of a CMS - I built my career around ExpressionEngine and later Craft CMS learning HTML and CSS to a decent level.

I now code emails using table based HTML haha

Yeah Sitecore is definitely a chunky thing, I have three certified devs on the team (4 with me but I'm way to rusty to go writing code these days) which means we can make it do just about anything.

My team does HTML tables for email too, the only way to make it work in all clients, many of the people receiving our EDM's are government and corporate so we need it to work in Outlook, which apparently still sucks for rendering HTML.

Yup it sure does, I bet your devs love working with email! Fortunately there's a lot of things you can do to make it suck less but on the whole it's a drag on the industry.
