Posted by dabitch on 26. October 2007 - 16:23

Suddenly my compete-gene flared up when I spotted that caffeinegoddess sent out and hooked up with 5 invite people already. Dangit, I've sent out thirteen!

Maaaaybeee... :) Just gotta fix more bugs first but a trade-for-something was the idea.

Submitted by TDD on 30. October 2007 - 23:24.

Oh, they're just brownie points! It's not like we can trade them in for real brownies! Can we?

Submitted by dabitch on 30. October 2007 - 11:39.

Yeah, that's a pretty ugly bug. No solution to it yet, but remove editing possibilities.

Submitted by Allan1 on 29. October 2007 - 15:46.

WTF?????

You LOSE brownie points if you edit one of your own previously posted comments???? [I can see not ADDing points, but LOSING them?!?!?]

I've lived in Pennsylvania* (PA [USA]) all my life, and I've never been to Canada (I've come close - Bar Harbor, Maine; and Watkins Glen, New York), or ANY other country. I've only been west of the Mississippi on one trip, 15+ years ago (Tuscon, AZ) - which is also the furthest south I've been [yet my brother owns a rental home near Disneyworld]. I've worked in Wilmington, Delaware; NYC, New York; White Plains, NY; all over southern New Jersey; most of southeastern PA; Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; and Westminister, Maryland.

Overall, I think that I'm alright..... alright..... alright..... alright.....alright.......................

* I grew up in Philadelphia, PA - but you couldn't tell from my accent (with the exception of about 3 words - most specifically, I often pronounce "gas" as gazz [apparently only small sections of both Phila., PA and NYC, NY pronounce it like I do]) - growing up, I watched a LOT of TV, and listened to a lot of radio - so I sound like most announcers (99.99% of the time. [I even was a radio DJ at school back in the '70s]).

Canada and the USA are huge in land mass; Canada being the world's second largest land mass. You can travel for hours on land across Europe and go through a few countries. Here, it takes days to travel by land across one country.

Out of all the Canadian accents, I love the Maritimes' accents the best. I can't recall which TV commercial (McDonald's?) that had the guy from Cape Breton say, "It's a cornucopia of awesomeness" in describing a food he was eating.

Found it

I really shouldn't poke you. Although I have been to the USA, I have never been outside of my own province of Ontario. I have been to Toronto many times. I got stuck here in London, Ontario, which is oh so British. Like this pub down the street.

Nice! I do want to visit Canada - in fact I was very close to packing it all up an heading for filmschool in Toronto back in 99, I just didn't have much time on this trip. I'll get there though, Canada and Australia - never been there either!

However, I've been to every country in Europe, so then a few of them started fighting and had their borders redrawn just so that I would have more places to visit. ;P

And I understand Dabitch, the global traveller she is, has never been to Canada.

Dabitch, you were close to The Edge

Submitted by TDD on 28. October 2007 - 15:38.

Just this.

And maybe the major advances of intercontinental travel... :P (just joking!)

Maid of honor? I thought you were on different continents. What did I miss?

Submitted by dabitch on 28. October 2007 - 10:19.

She really is fast on the invite-trigger though. ouch!

Submitted by dabitch on 28. October 2007 - 0:59.

I was her maid of honor, trust me, after that there is either armageddon or peace forever.

Oh, bother. I think I just got myself stuck between two waring titans.

Submitted by caffeinegoddess on 27. October 2007 - 12:33.

I've just been quick on the draw when it came to some of those requests. Plus I put out the word on my twitter and blog as well that I had invites so there were a couple of those too.

And as TDD said, I'm just a goddess ;) (thanx TDD) :D

The filter on my public account likes to catch any email with the word. 'ad' in it. ;)

Submitted by dabitch on 27. October 2007 - 8:52.

....and maybe her email doesn't get filtered out by incorrectly configured spamfilters. ;P

funny story about spamfilters that check the email/domains (dumb!!) for 'bad words'. The Swedish research Hospital Karolinska UniversitetsSjukhushet had to change their domain as emails to other research doctors were getting stuck in (moronically configured) spamtraps when emailing collegues around the world. (As I recall the offending domain wasn't kus.se though which means kiss in Dutch, but kut.se which could mean something quite different).
The story was marching around the newspaper for days as the 'quirky news' and people kept commenting how incredibly shortsighted it was of the hospital to buy an offending domain, which is how the story was angled. oh fer crying out loud people!!! Use your own brains for once!. It made it quite easy for me to sort out the sheep from the brains at the office mind you. A spamfilter should never ever filter the domains, of course. Our entire language can consist of words that sound dirty in other languages.
