what happened?

[Olimpass]

what happened to the last couple days of posts?
I am not seeing them!

[inthpktplayer]

Yep.....MIA.

[rickthedrummer]

They are all out looking for a "virgin" post. They want to see if there is a difference in the sound of the writing if punctuation is used or not used.

The ? mark is the 1 that causes the most problems. The word before the ? might be "HUH" or "huh", or the ever popular "What the hell just happened"?

I really don't care what happened. All I know is that I'm 2 days younger than I was yesterday.

The 60's had to have been really, really, really good for you.

They started out really good and finished up with little people trying their best to kill me.

Guys, I'm just learning about this but apparently the servers were upgraded. There wasn't supposed to be any disruption or consequence but it looks like that didn't happen. Admin is checking on it as we speak. I'm not sure if they can be revived or not but as soon as I know something, I will pass it on... or su_admin will be posting to update.

Those pesky Russians, again?

[N2Bluz]

Maybe they wiped the server clean......like with a rag or something.

[Markadiddle]

Wow, not good. Maybe should have had a database backup before the "upgrade"?

BTW - What was upgraded? I see no difference on the site.

EDIT: Plus, new posts aren't showing up when you go back to the main forum. Me thinks the "upgrade" didn't go to well.

Oh well. I'm sure it will be sorted out eventually.

And to think, I had made it to 1000 posts, and now its Groundhog Day again! I'll never make it to 1000 again!

haha you get to relive the whole experience again!

I was at about 30,000! Oh wait... nevermind. Thought I was PastorBob for a minute.

Wow, whatever is going on with this site is really messed up. I just posted this, got an error and then it said it was a duplicate post. Man, I sure hope they figure out what's the dilly-o with the board.

[G-man]

Still laughing about this one. Love obscure reference humor.

those pesky russians, again?

rofl!

Modern technology, you have to love it. I can turn on my PC and learn about this (which I think I know) to that (of which I haven't a clue) and it tells me everything I want to know, and some stuff I don't.

We have become so dependent on these technological marvels that we have to have the ability to know nothing so we can get the information from our PC's, laptops, Iphones, and the 4 year old kid down the block.

Then when a massive foul up happens (which is inevitable), we go into the bathroom, look at the bowl, and have to get our copy of "Flushing For Idiots" to remember what to do with whatever we do.

Sometimes I miss the old days when your phone came in a variety of colors, black, or maybe black, with a cord that only went 6 ' and not these phones today where you can travel 1/2 way around the world and still not lose the SOB that you didn't want to talk to in the first place. When you could work on your car in the backyard without needing the JPL people for assistance, and it didn't talk to you and tell that you just missed your turn for California and are now headed for North Dakota.

I bought a GPS when I 1st moved to NC, and it works so good that it tells me that I have reached my destination when I hit the bottom of my driveway.

When I bought my no longer new Mustang, I didn't opt for the built-in GPS and Recaro seats because 1) I can get around pretty good now, and 2) If I don't know where someplace is, I either can choose not to go there, or, I can Google it. ( I don't know how they came up with the name "Google") I would have called it "Blondes in Bikinis". It would serve the same purpose, but with a little more flair. "What browser do you use? (me) "I use Blondes in Bikinis", (them) "Ahh, good choice. Do they have pictures?"

Now, as I sit here with scotch in hand getting ready to go practice for a while, I wonder how did we ever survive the '50's, '60's, '70's, and a large part of the '80's without out all this stuff, and I also wonder why the young people of today can't survive on a day to day basis without their cell phones, can't spell (boyz, girlz, cuz, etc.) and haven't a clue where Canada is, let alone the nearest gas station.

Hello?
Hello?

Is this thing on???

[N2Bluz]

Wow, this thing is jacked up now, LOL.

Rick, I believe you hit the nail PERFECTLY on it's head. The search engine name though? It's probably a pr0n site, if ya catch my drift.

As you know me and knowing that I've been in the Information Technology business now for what.... almost 30 years now? I can tell you my friend, when I go home at night, barring I'm not helping one of my screaming end users at work because they can't get their cordless mouse to work because they don't understand that it uses a battery and they go dead, I usually have a book in my hands.

Beautiful rant.

[rickthedrummer]

Beautiful rant.

1 of these days I'll count them to be sure, but I figure it's somewhere between 1 and 700.

That's not counting the 1's when I was really pi$$ed.

I disconnect my phone around midnight. My friends in Jersey know that I'm up till at least 4, but if there was anything important, they would have called me by 12.

I know that, with what you do, that you have to be available at all times. I don't, and I'm eternally grateful for that.

I just got tired of the phone ringing at 8 in the morning and it's Joe&Bills Bar&Grill&Mortgage Co. wanting to know if I want to refinance my house with them. After a while, I just started answering this way: "Better be damn good because you just woke my butt up". (Boy, did I clean that up) and then I just started disconnecting it.

A couple of weeks ago, I forgot to pull the plug. The phone rings around 8:30 and it's my insurance company wanting to talk to me about my home insurance. I asked the lady who called if my house was on fire, she said no, so I told her to call me in 6 hours and hung up.

If I were you, I would tape a note to their computer that says "batteries make the world go round, so buy some Duracells and stick them.............................................. ...................in your desk drawer".
