Sorry, I put all those sentences the wrong way round.

Well you should be sorry, twisting my brain around trying to figure out what you were trying to get across with that twisted up tripe.  Well, I never!

(Just kidding.)

Sorry, I put all those sentences the wrong way round.  Should have been -

1.  Kiwi dictionary.
2.  Spack =
3.  Wobbly
4.  Definition of wobbly
5.  talk like a ...

Jeez.

In the Kiwi dictionary I couldn’t find the definition of spack so I’ll give you this one instead:

wobbly (pack a wobbly): become angry, get snotty

Spack = dumb, not cool.

I tell you, I can pack quite the wobbly if you piss me off and quite frankly I’ll have your guts for garters if you do.

talk like a true blue kiwi

Jeez I love Ugly Betty.  I don’t know if that makes me spack, I don’t really care.

I’ve got a hideous cold.  And we’re really busy at school with about half a million Tahitians and 13,000 Saudis.  Maybe a SLIGHT exaggeration seeing as we only take 70 students in total, but it feels like we’ve got 200,000 Tahitians in the building and they never.stop.making.noise.

Our thing this season is that the students have to put on a variety show.  It’s gonna be hell fun.

For serious, these Casual Encounters posts are hilarious.

how successful was it? Do you have a copy of the finished ad?

I might have one in an old eMail, but I’d need to check if it was OK to post. But within an hour “we” had around three dozen replies, about 1/3 of whom were just adulterers who clearly replied to every damn ad, 1/3 had read the ad but were creepy in other ways, and around 1/3 actually seemed like (bearing in mind what you can tell from an eMail) reasonably nice, decent guys and a few didn’t look like Dennis Hopper either.

Hey, if you need help writing up your craigslist ad just let me know: the trial balloon carried out for Lady P. was rather disgustingly successful.

So is geek guy out (of the picture?) now?

Y’all, I’m sorry if I don’t seem more attentive to the problem of FJ’s slowness. Truth is, I’m visiting the Squeeze this weekend, and won’t be back until Thursday. Right now he’s at work and I’m in the basement, but I have limited connectivity and time to fix the problem. Not that I know what it is.

Hey MD, so is this geeky guy?

Nah, and this guy deleted his ad.  Sadness.  Although there is also a 28 year old virgin posting in Casual Encounters.  Now that could be just like senior year, except for funner.

A note on the Rabbit(tm): Most of them are made of porous jelly material, so it’s not a good idea to share them or use them in more than one, ah, entrance, if you will, at least not without using a rubber.

Thanks all for the problem reports: one thing that might be useful (more for background info) - what OS and Browser / Browser version are you on?

To my uneducated eye, it looks as though we may have more entries in the cooler than the database was sized for, so each commit is taking far longer than it should. I could go back and delete a few hundred comments and see if that helps, but:

1/ we’d lose those contents (yeah, I would try to back-up the data to my system first, but see point 3).

2/ even with comments deleted and space freed up, the database may need to be told to rebuild itself (or re-optimize itself, or something like that).

3/ I really don’t know much of what I’m doing, so unless/until this becomes critical can we live with hitting submit, wait a second, hit submit again?

Thanks all.

Hey MD, so is this geeky guy? If so, how did y’all snare him? In fact, if it’s not him, tell us more anyway. Better stock up on batteries for the rabbit either way… “It was a beautiful day in Headtotoe, and Mr. Bunny was hopping happily in the long brown grass when suddenly it started to rain. ‘Oh my! What shall I do?’ thought Mr. Bunny. Then he spotted a tiny little rabbit hole in the valley below: he’d never explored here before, but he didn’t want to get wet, so...”

Going back to the issues of performance,

The only thing I noticed was in the Cooler. The main page worked fine, including submissions and comments. Preview in the Cooler worked, but when I hit submit, my wheel spins endlessly.  Openiong a new tab, going to Fat Jerry, and then the Cooler, the comment would appear. Going back to the original tab, the wheel was still going around.

I only see it when submitting comments in any thread but not when submitting links. The comment goes through but the submit page just hangs up not loading to the new page with the new comment. If you can follow that…
Preview works fine

Going back to the issues of performance, if you can supply the following information it’d be helpful:

1/ When FJ appears to “pause” is it only when you submit a comment / cooler entry / link or do you see the problem even moving between the pages?

2/ When you are having these issues, do any other applications also have the problem (e.g. submitting a form, sending a gMail message)?

Thanks all!

I made it back home, leaving zero corpses 850 miles behind me (speaking volumes about my self restraint).

A Nerd has a subject, an academic pursuit.
A Geek has a store (comics, gaming, video game, etc.)
A Dork has dice of many shapes. And a bag to put them in.
A Dweeb is more socially inept than (and usually dumber than) the Nerd.
A Spaz thinks he’s a vampire or a werewolf or a dragon; picks and eats boogers; smells like Frito pie; writes fanfic.

Perhaps I have given this too much thought over the years.

Submitting comment is still slow but once you hit submit it goes throw it’s just you idle on the submit page sometimes timing out. I just click on the FJ logo and go to the home page scroll down to the recent comments and my post will be there.
