It's cold here in San Francisco right now and news on the street is that it's going to snow tomorrow and/or Saturday. This is San Francisco, so we're talking big deal here.
Of course, I've already heard coworkers saying that "there's a blizzard coming!" A number of them won't be into work tomorrow because of the snow (likely to be and inch or less).
Anyway, thought I'd share with you folks who've seriously suffered this past winter. I called my friend in Maine right after one of the blizzards and she said "Meh, it's no big deal, so it snows a bit every so often." You are tougher than us.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

speak for yourself hippy, we californians are a tough lot. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a cup of regular coffee in this town that isn't some single source, fair trade, organically grown from heirloom seeds that gestated in the ass of a baboon that was raised in a holistic communal environment made up of Unionized Oompah Loompah's?

NOAA says maybe a dusting above 1000ft in the Bay Area Friday night and Saturday, then clear on Sunday. I remember being out on the delta many years ago under similar conditions -- Mt Diablo is going to be gorgeous in the morning sun.
In other news, we here in the emerald city managed to get more than 12 snowflakes in one shot and amazingly, the city didn't become completely paralyzed. On the other hand, it's been enough to keep gg off her sparkly new Bonnie for a little while, which is saying something...

A month ago, I stole away to the garage with a fresh-from-the-refrigerator beer poured into a glass. There was steam coming off the top, as if it were hot coffee. Now that was cold.
