DMH says the board won't let her log on anymore. She's all afraid that she's been banned.

Does she have cookies enabled?

But you better have brought pie, then.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just lost the right hand column for a sec. It's (obviously) back now.

FYI.

ita: I remember being about to buy something peach, but then Prince cancelled the concert and I didn't need to anymore.

You too, huh? You try buying a peach and black outfit as a 15-year-old boy in 1987 in Exeter...

I am not reporting any kind of problem. I'm just noting an oddity, to make sure it isn't a problem.

On my bookmarks page, there are a bunch of blank spaces, with check boxes to the left of them. I assume I had posts bookmarked, that lived in threads that have since been closed and/or archived.

Should I just check the boxes, so that they go away? Is anything going to blow up if I do or don't?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The blank bookmarks are most likely the result of the threads they pointed to getting archived and removed from the database.

You can check them off and delete. It shouldn't hurt anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a question about the board over use issue: How come we users don't have any problem, and we just find out later when we're using too many connections or whatever? Is there a way to put the breaks on the board or something? I mean, I'd rather not be able to connect for five minutes rather than end up getting booted from fangeek or whatever. Am I making any sense? I only have a vague idea what I'm trying to say.

I know we think we're OK for now, but assuming we have bumps in usage in the future....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, we (the coders) have no way to tell how many connections we're using at any given time, so we can't take the board down for a breather, or anything.
