recent downtime

jstarkey

Hey all, several of you sent messages letting me know the site was down. Thanks. One of the tables in the DB was corrupted and I didn't have root access to mysql, so I had to wait for the admins.

Actually, I don't mess with table corruption stuff, but it sounds cool when I say that, so please just nod your head in acknowledgment 🙂

Anyway, it should be all fixed now.

/me realizes he doesn't really have a life so he can't really say that

/me nods his head in aknowledgement. Mmhmm, Mmhmm...

Did you remember to reinitialize the power coupling and uplink manifolds, too? I always forget that...

Isn't that the same as plugging the power and network cables in?

I find that priming the fuel lines and repolarising the transtators helps.

No, Chewie ... hand me the hydrospanners!!

While we're at it ... I appreciate the forum, and the responsiveness of its mods and JS ...

I notice the "horny chick wants you" thread went away quickly, yet quietly, as requested, also ...

[edit]/me nods head

Ahh, table corruption. Like when I'm screwing around with 'pico' in /var/db ??[/edit]

Yeah, well we told Liz we thought it was unappropriate for a mod to post that kinda thing 😉

BuzzLY

I don't think she fits into that category any more. She fits more into the category of "I was horny, and look what happened to me."

/me ducks and runs for cover...

Were you able to bookmark it in time? I couldn't wait any longer, sorry.

Thanks Dalecosp. 🙂

[edit] I just realized who Liz was, may I rescind my statement above? I thought Liz was the hot horny chick on the spam site. [/edit]

OK, OK, settle down fellers, and let's hear the truth ...

Elizabeth had nothin' to do with the thread I reff'd AFAIK ... I posted a whois which clearly demonstrated that this was some SPAM put up by somebody who wanted to attract an audience to what is probably an "adult dating" site that was put up (DNS registered) on 7/21/03. See, it's "no, I haven't visited..." 🙂

Yes, most of us are grown-ups here, whatever that means, but it simply didn't seem appropos ... I believe I read somewhere that we should remember this site is publicly accessible, and some newbs may be quite young...

I suppose we can flirt with the Queen of Digression as much as she'll allow, but probably we shouldn't accuse her of posting such refuse, even as a joke ...

dalecosp
of the "Be Nice to Elizabeth" mvt......

dalecosp

And, perhaps I should add it before you do, I guess that should be "we should accuse, unless she does" ... which seems real unlikely 😉

She does have a good point, though; amazing how I quote Star Wars and make another observation (re: horny chicks) in the same post, and we choose the latter...

Are we geeks or men? 😃

Ummm, am I missing something? She hasn't even posted. 🙁

I'll avoid the hot horny chicks in the interest of professionalism, but I do have a hot date tonight, does that count? 😃

Nope; she hasn't. But several of us should remember this quote from "Coding Style" --- "I marvel at the ability of some people on this board to take a seemingly harmless topic and take it straight downhill ..."

Can't blame you if you don't. You don't 'play' as much around here.

Hope you have a good time tonight.. 🙂

There's a lot more work that needs to be done on this site than the other I run for Jupiter. I can't really jump in and play while other things are needing attention.

Last night I hacked the board on the other site to cause a certain antagonist on that board's posts to be sorted randomly, rather than by date. He didn't quit, so I had it display the post text backwards as well. 😃

Thanks. I'm psyched, this girl is fine, fine, fine!! 🙂

ROFL! Excellent ... as for the other, I was trying to be critical. My business would likely be able to pay me more if I coded more and forumed less ....

Thanks. I'm psyched, this girl is fine, fine, fine!! 🙂

😉 neat ... as for me, I found a fine one 15 yrs ago and kept her ...

[EDIT]wasn't ... wasn't ... wasn't ....

Dang it! That's " I WASN'T trying to be critical ...[/edit]

See, I told you to give it some time and it should all work itself out 😃

Nah, I just hadn't had any other complaints until a few hours later and it worked all day, for me.

lol, nah, her and I decided to stop seeing each other and I'm confident that she's one of the rare few that could actually say something like that without thinking first 😃

I'll keep you updated though. 😃
