First fix:
  • 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.


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!

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.

Dog days anyone?

Post by Rench » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:13 am

The motivation, it is lacking.

They say the Dog Days of Summer have more to do with a star rising at certain times of the year, but I'm thinking of the western version. Where the dogs just sleep all day, too lazy or unwilling to try and brave the heat for anything.

I actually had to give myself a pep talk this morning to gear up and get on the bike TO RIDE HOME FROM WORK.

It's not even end-of-the-world hot. Just hot enough to not care anymore. About anything.

May you all find shade where you can.

Back when I lived with my parents and we had a dog, on the hot days of summer, if you took him into the garden, he'd trot under a brush, dig himself a hole and climb in there. And stay there until you convinced him you were going back inside.
You could blame that on instinct, dog days triggering earthworks, but I knew that dog and that was a smart dog (he figured out how to get a cast-iron skillet full of deliciousness off the stove without making a noise of cracking a tile on the kitchen floor).
That was before we figured out to cut his pelt off (literally 50% of his volume, polish breed, made for cold) in the spring.

Weather has been middling for the last few weeks, slowly alternating between rain and sunshine, but no severe heat, that started to die down in June (but usually comes back in August).
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.

Goose and Rabbit,

I am sending you both packages of the sweat from my grundle.

Since we've been having these balmy 99+ days here in sunny NY, the abundance of grundle sweat has lowered the street value and I can afford to spare some.

Don't worry when you open said packages the contents will atomize and apply itself directly to you.

XOXO

I've found that if I stick to dirt roads that are tree-lined, it's not so bad on a hot day. Got caught in a very sudden thunderstorm coming home Sunday...soaked to the bone. It actually helped, I was pretty comfortable for the remaining hour that it took to get home.

I've still been commuting on two, but no fun riding. I'd rather just sit in the AC.

No A/C at home means I'm seriously considering throwing hard earned bucks at a window unit, it's seriously so hot I'm having trouble motivating to get any design work done, and that's where I sit on my ass in front of a computer...

Forecast calls for temps approaching 70 by the end of the week. Guess I better get the a/c charged.

Oh, and Rock, that was, well umm, ewww! Hopefully, Homeland Security will intercept that package!
