Reducing access for several user IDs. PM zero or the belligerent one if you want ABS back. Just precautionary. Don't take it personally. Just some cleanup for folks who don't post often.
-
I'm a swabbie again.
That's OK... don't have so much to contribute to the site, but I'm still a keen reader. Maybe there ought to be a "passenger" status :)
-
Did I get hit by the scourge too? I don't see the chatbox anymore.
-
You've still got pirate status, stars and brownie points! I would like to have kept my negative points at least :)p3 :)p2
Oh wait... I got 1 brownie point :)p13
-
Yo Marv! What happened to my ABS?
-
Just be patient. I need time to review some access logs. The short story is that privileged / private areas of this site were being spied upon by other certain other forum(s) and/or MOT(s).
I don't know anything for certain, but I need to be cautious for obvious reasons.
-
Spies. I know I don't post often. But I am hardly online anymore because of college and work. =( but I'm no spy.
-
what are MOTs exactly?

Members of the trade I believe.

Thanks, but it looks like I was being a fake Thad! Well, it was me, just not the real me. A me from the dark side.
Will the real Thad E Ginathom please stand up!
:)p6 Here Sir! All present and correct, and, hopefully complete with the scars.
There is a good reason for all this. I got two IDs because of initial techie problems in joining the site at all. I just installed a different OS (Linux Mint) and "keep me logged in" wasn't. I synced Firefox, but it just goes to show that one should not accept whatever form auto-completion offers up without looking.
Which is all rather boring. And actually, a bloody daft reason. Especially bloody daft that I didn't notice that my name had changed :spank:
Purr1n, thanks for the PM, without which I might never have realised. Please feel free to destroy the dark-side Mr Thad :)p3 :)p3 walk the plank

i am NOT Spartacus.

Did you fully update Firefox? Sometimes technicalities hinder Firefox and then I switch to Chrome.

(Firefox and me, another whole story)
I updated FF on my old Ubuntu partition just so that I could use the new sync. Previously, I had locked it, because the new chrome-like look and feel is horrible. New Mint/Mate partition is a new install, and tweaked with Classic-Theme-Restorer, etc, to look sane again. Anyway, today the mint partition won't boot and I'm back with Ubuntu ---having sent the last, working-I-hope, root backup off-site yesterday--- until tomorrow.
i am NOT Spartacus.
Nor me. I wouldn't trust that Thad character though! Shifty-looking fellow. His eyes are too close together.
I'm giving a no-touchy-feely scar right now!
-
That's it. I am calling the Chennai police :)p3

Caught out in posession of... an ODAC!
-
Off to the gallows...the audacity of using an ODAC !

If you want to avoid the Android use Donald Fauntleroy Go and you should be fine.
You and your ODACs! FireFox is way more modular, customisable and sometimes totally unusable. The setting are awesome though and less preachy...

It gets worse. I'm experimenting with a HiFiMeDIY DAC for the tablet. $30 DAC! I'll tell you how I feel about it when I get back from London, by which time I should have bought some fairly modest travel phones to use with it.

They do make us promise to be careful in about:config :)
I do not like the software world's insistence that stuff has to change, for no good reason, and forcing it on us, even when they are not making us pay for it.
Now... where are those notes I was making about who was saying what? Or was that Thad? Or Spartacus? Or...
And my mint problem turned out not to be personal: it was fixed by updates. :)p1

zero or the belligerent one
"or"

Any day now. ::)

I was wondering why the ortho sub forum disappeared. facepalm
-
Certain users now only have access through the cat flap. It is one of those ones that won't open unless you have the thingie on your collar.
Certain users now have to stay outside in the yard and sleep in the kennel.
Howling/wailing in the night will not be tolerated.

I come all the time but have neither insight nor golden ears to contribute so... Fair enuff?

Do your cats howl or wail?
-
Do your cats howl or wail?
Yes, and they occasionally make a sound best described as a chirp.
-
Do your cats howl or wail?
Yes. It means I have to get up and chase the intruder away.
Also, I have a dog friend who howls if I say certain things. This dog lives in the same house as my small grandson, and one of the things that she hates is one of my baby-talk noises. It is very funny, or would be if the dog was not so seriously upset. Perhaps she is trying to tell me that she, too, cannot abide meaningless bullshi (http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,2169.msg67606.html#msg67606)t!

The Great Cats can either roar or purr, but not both. But in the Messianic Era, they will do both. /midrash

I have one cat who's primary language is chirping , and another that has one note to her vocal range. And always at least 85 dB. She is our "living" alarm clock. Including Saturday and Sunday. :-0

My cat used to be able to open unlikely doors. She was not a large house cat. She was smart though.
I always slept through the meows and sounds.

We used to have a fish tank next to the bed. Inside there was a comet goldfish that would wake you up every morning by spitting water on you. We named it Monica after Lewinsky.

Ah, truly a golden age.

My first cat was an excellent alarm clock. Whilst she never actually got as far as wielding the baseball bat, she used to paw me in the face, and would gradually add extended claws until she got the desired reaction... breakfast.
