Friday Q&A

Questionable Validation

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Q&A. Thanks for joining me once again. I'm glad you're here. Assuming you agree with me about Photoshop, of course. And why wouldn't you? After all, I'm always right. You could set your watch by my moral certitude.

Q: Did Mr Squirrel fix the Scrutinizer?

A: Yes, indeed. Vote whores can breathe a sigh of relief, as the Scrutinizer is once again keeping track of our Photoshop contest entries. As you're not doubt aware, the site has been down for a couple weeks. Thanks to Mr Squirrel for patching up the code.

Q: What did you learn during the Scrutinizer blackout?

A: Absolutely nothing. Learning would imply that I had not previously attained a level of unparalleled mental perfection. However, I'm not blind to the lessons imparted unto lesser individuals. Hopefully, a couple weeks of having your work vanish into the ether sent a message about the transient nature of what we do. Photoshop threads are quickly forgotten, regardless of their brilliance. Wins are rarely remembered by anyone but the winner.

Q: Do you have a retraction to announce?

A: Unfortunately yes. Just because I've reached a state of unparalleled mental perfection doesn't mean that I can't occasionally leave out important details. Last week, I stated that Manipster does not display accurate vote totals. What I failed to mention is that the scores are updated after two weeks to reflect a more accurate tally. Thanks to the Manipster team for bringing this information to my attention.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. As usual, I'm glad you stopped by. Before closing this post, I want to once again thank Mr Squirrel for repairing the Scrutinizer. His efforts truly benefit the entire community.

Stay tuned for more obvious truths from the Doctor!
