As I Was Saying in the Chat Room

Forums

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.

somebody stop me!

Okay, once was good to say what i had to say, twice is okay for emphasis...but three times??? Nothing's THAT important. Sorry, lol

to central station....

yep,our test -toy chat was closed down by a Drupal Alien..sad,sad.....

It's baaaaack

in beta-land, anyway... I just busted all the ghosts. Who ya gonna call? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

yup...

Jonathan says the chat room is back! So have fun, folks, and please report any problems here. Thanks!

IT'S ALIVE

thx jonathan and marye, see ya inside the show:) peace tc

got booted

first boot of the new chatroom Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

my first boot!

I feel kind of proud, I just got kicked out for the first time.

I think I got kicked out for inactivity... about 5 minutes or so without posting. anyways, there is still a 30 second delay for posts? can't the 'puter specialists remove that delay? or cut it down to 5 seconds. hard to actually 'chat' if there is a delay.

I think

I was

I wonder if the chat room, would in effect, replace the usual forum, and the number of posts would drop significantly... but the chat room still seems a bit too sporadic and full of hinky delays at the moment me thinks. peace.

I was

chatting was pretty fast now

chatting was pretty fast now, no delay it seemed

yep it works grate today

had a nice chat with CCj, with no delay!!

okay...

let's keep an eye on the situation. I see the duplicate post bug is alive and well, so there may be underlying issues. The whole site is about to migrate to a new hosting service, which may take care of some of the weird behavior. Or introduce a fresh crop....

Weird Behaviour

plenty of that here - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

yeah...

I just got kicked out too, having arrived to find half a dozen people ostensibly there and none of them there for real. I've reported this to Jonathan. Sorry, folks.

Strange Chat

Hey, there's trouble brewing on my end of the chat, anyone else?

2nd time in 4 nights

chat room freezes every thing n i have to reboot wierdthought it was just me tonight

On the mend

Or so it seems ?!? Still better than before. Sometimes I feel like I need a good boot, he he

Yeah, I had that tenth avenue freeze-out thing too...

I just figured I had too much to dream last night... too much to dream...

Hm.

Is it still misbehaving? It's been so good lately I've gotten complacent...

h i , m a r y e

i t s e e m s a l i t t l e s l o o o o w i n t h e n e w c h atr oo m l a t e l y d o n ' t u t h i n k o r d o n ' t u ? ; )

I agree

chatroom is running really sloooooooooooooow today and no one is ever home!

okay, thanks

I've reported to Jonathan that things are not just exactly perfect. Bummer, because it was working great for a while there. Oh well! Thanks for the heads up.

also

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. ( -:

Hey now

Hey folks. Not much time for the chatroom these days but dropping by to say hello. Hope everyone is doing great. Enjoy the summer!

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.

I'm using a four-year-old Mac

with Firefox, and chat works fine. But a 2001 model might not run something necessary, as mine seems to be at the old end of what the software will run on.

old dog

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.

tasty

You can find several on line, but basically it's just raw Spanish peanuts and whole cloves. Crush the garlic, leave the skin on. Heat the oil (vegetable or peanut) at about medium (trial and error, too high and the garlic burns before the nuts are crunchy, too low and too much oil is absorbed) add nuts and garlic and whole chili's (the small ones, dried seem to be the best) fry until the nuts are crunchy, more or less depending on your taste, and the garlic should just be turning translucent and still a bit chewy, add the salt, eat. Real good with beer. When I was in the Philippines I would purchase a bag of these from the same street vendor on my way home from work every evening, or to the bar.They seemed to have a much larger peanut then the Spanish ones we get here, but I think any raw peanuts will work quite well. You can also use garlic salt (coarse ground) instead of the sea salt. They use the chili's more in the northern region. In Subic Bay, where I was stationed they used them occasionally, but farther north in the resort city of Baguio, they use more.
