random encounter

[egypturnash]

Well. That was interesting. Sammi and I were out walking when a car pulled up beside us. It was roon and amilori driving around thinking about dinner. They'd been wanting to visit for a bit, since their temporary home is very very close, but the scheduling involved never happened.

So we ended up hopping in their car! And visiting the crafts store, and their luxurious double-wide transitional trailer, and then we had pizza! And I learnt that being a Porn Disapprover for Yahoo! is a disturbing job.

Conversation was random and silly and ofttimes lewd.

Then they got introduced to the new washer-dryer machine, which is, I swear, from Charmwarp. She's so cute and she makes such happy noises! Every alert is a happy, upbeat sequence of bleeps! And laundry will no longer be an epic quest to make happen!

Life is good.

A porn disapprover?

It sounds like the sort of job that you can be sure that your employer is desperate to develop a computer program replace. If only they could develop a competent nipple recognition matrix.

Hehehe.

Someone somewhere is actually working on porn recognition software. I'm not making this up. I forget who where what when, though. (Why is obvious.)

I was kidding on the square (Term invented by Al Frankin to mean making a joke about something you mean sincerly) I have thought that pornography recognition would be a very handy trick to put into a peice of software, and have assumed there are folks actualy working on that.

She filters stuff uploaded to Yahoo!'s servers for stuff like child porn. Porn for her falls into two categories, now: Approved and Unapproved. Unapproved is more than just child porn, but I think that's what it started as.

Ooooh. What an interesting job. c.c

Beats my dryer which is from hell and tried to kill us all and burn down our apartment building!

By contrast to that, our washing machine is tame. It's just tried to flood the third floor a few times. Stupid thing doesn't know when to stop, if you leave the lid up. :-P

It is true. Their washer/dryer hybrid is extremely well-behaved and makes a number of satisfied sounds in the completion of its duties. The real issue is how to keep Peggy from eloping with it for a tumultuous affair in Ibiza.
