An issue that's been afflicting me for eight months is finally fixed! The software I use for accessing the database never returned any results no matter who I searched for, but logging in remotely worked fine, so I'd sit at my desk and go through remote access to get all my work done. This worked well enough but added a bit of lag to every UI element, so I kept emailing and asking for support updates. And today, a man from tech support came up and suggested that I change my computer date from YYYY-mm-dd back to mm-dd-YYYY, so I did that and it search immediately started working again. I guess the program kept thinking "2018 isn't a valid month, no results found."
I shouldn't have been surprised. When I first got an iPhone, I set the system to Japanese language and the calendar to Japanese Imperial dating, and a lot of apps had real trouble with that. "What do you mean 平成21? That's not a real year!
"
Went out to the riverwalk to hang out with![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
lisekatevans on my lunch break today, though I didn't bring my lunch. She had a theatre practice cancelled at the last moment and had some free time downtown, so she texted me and we sat by the river and chatted for an hour. It was exactly what I needed after not having spoken to anyone other than the man from tech support since Friday.
I also took this picture as I was crossing the Chicago river:
fiendishfanfares said the clouds look like waves, and she's right. "Along the shore the cloud waves break..."
I guess I can't deny being a weeb anymore, despite living in Japan giving me some credibility, since now I've contributed money to an anime club. Anime Chicago is having a party at the end of the month where they're going to watch the first episode of a bunch of summer anime, and it's for paying members only. I paid the $12 for a year so I could go and see what it's like. I had a lot of fun at the Porco Rosso discussion and I'd like to start going to more events.
Hope everyone else's week is going well!
