    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    Lag issues?
    I really haven't experienced the "lag time" thing. I think perhaps some of our older members may actually be nodding off at the keyboard. Hence the lag?

    the chatroom has had lag issues quite a bit lately, so it's probably not just you!

    old dog can't learn those new trix... the only Firefox I ever heard of was a piss poor Clint Eastwood movie, or was it Tommy Cruise... the only Java I know comes from beans. you know, a cup of 'Joe' ( -; seriously, though, not a big deal really to borrow her 'puter, and as I remember, I think I got up to Panther on the Mac software, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, so I am outdated again, because the original version wouldn't run a newer ipod or something like that. thanks for the advice and helpful hints. and once you go Mac, you never go back! what's better than a Mac in your lap? (please fill in the blanks with a sure to be deleted by the moderator POOR TASTE joke) yuk yuk yuk peace.

    Hey Joe
    Where you goin' with that Mac in your hands? Chat works fine with Firefox on linux, so it's certainly not "Windoze Only." The chatroom is heavily dependent on a browser technology called Javascript, though, and if it's been a while since you updated your web browser software then that may be the issue. Just makin' a suggestion, that's all. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    was slow the other day, too. Tiger Lilly and I were in a kind of Frick and Frack bit, going back and forth between slow private messages and trying to use the chat troom. are you here? are YOU here?... also, this may be, probably, a local issue, but on my old iboook Mac, 2001 version, I can't chat at all. I can see and use the forum,no problemo, but I can't read the chat stuff or write on it. My old lady's 'puter is windows, some old HP piece of shit lap top, but that works fine with chat. is the chat windows only?? seems unfair if so. I'm frigging Steve Jobs over here. ( -:

I've reported the problem to Jonathan, though of course it's Sunday. As to being able to log on from one computer but not another, I'm as mystified as you are. What happens when you try to log on?

... a national holiday! Why not, give me one really good reason to not have April 20th as a regular holiday. I'd certainly vote for it. Let's start a petition drive...

I read in the online Santa Rosa, California Press Democrat that Mickey Hart's Mass Drums played at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park today. There is an interview with him in the paper. It was part of the Green Apple Festival and free valet bike parking was supplied.Listen for the drums to continue thru the night.

Well, I type in my username & password etc.. the screen flashes (to what should say log in successful ) & there's my name under online users, but login/sign up is also showing. I can't post a comment or the like. Then I try a few more times, just to see inkowurider about 50 times, so I give up in defeat, as I'm seeing posts that I'm all over the place... I'm now sure it has nothing to do with deadnet, which is good. Hells Bells!

Marye I found this.... Keyboardist Danny Federici, who for four decades played alongside rock star Bruce Springsteen as part of the E Street Band and helped define his rollicking sound, has died of melanoma. He was 58. RIP Danny

I tried getting to the chat room, too. I had as much luck as Buddy. What's going on? Is the chat room in the process of being moved back to its previous location, or has something gone kerblooey with it...again?

The new chat room is not functioning at this point in time. To put it in layman's terms: it's FUBAR. Or you could say it's broken, it's malfunctioning, it's not happenin', it's ruined, it's busted, it's kaput, it's dead in a NOT grateful way, it's conked out, it's crashed, it's quit workin', it's not usable...Capiche?

I think the GD have done pretty much the same thing, just ask the Rhino company... And I believe they did it again a couple of days ago... I have a feeling there's a nice sized tax write-off somewhere in all that press conference hoopla... YMMV

I thought it would be very cool ... well never mind it was cool a few minutes ago. So with the chatroom down on the staging site, does this mean it is 'bout to reappear here on the regular site. Carefull G-mom, the junk you sell could end up on Antique Road and appraised at a cool million, or not.
