No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I keep having trouble connecting to the Phoenix. Starting about 1 or 1:30 EST.

I've been having it intermittently since the time Teppy reported. Last time was about twenty minutes ago.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I suspect the form's not taking any punctuation in the user name, somehow. If PMM and Steph's full stops stopped it, then my problem's probably the hypen.

Interesting.

Jon, I noticed your code in Technology, and this part:

$body = 'username: ' . $_user->name

made me think -- what happens to interpolated variables in PHP which have dots in them?

I mean as

$x = $firstname . $lastname

is the code to smoosh two vars together, what happens if one of the vars contains a dot itself? I'm sure I'm barking up the wrong tree but it could explain it.

Thanks for all the fish.

My husband had a problem with the ballot, too (he ended up sending an e-mail, correctly, I hope) and his name has an apostrophe.

Am I supposed to be unable to have a number less than five in my refresh box in Message Centre now? Because it was still set to three today. I've changed it.
