Brunching Shuttlecocks is no more. 🙁 At least there are archives.
flowerpop is the most recent person that I’ve given a LJ code to. Welcome to the addiction! 🙂
I’ve tried to explain to Danny that DSL would be the same price as normal Dial-up if he’s going to get another line, but I don’t think that it’s sunk in. I’m not sure what part of “it costs the same, and is 50x faster” he doesn’t understand. I suspect he’s just not listening.
Looks like I’m back in the lj top 40 again.. I was out for a week, after being steady at 20/21 there since it’s inception. I have no idea what booted me off, or who left so that I’d reappear at 20 again. I still only recognize maybe 5 journals on the list, and three of those are communities. I’ve got no idea how I went form 20, to off, to back at 20 again, without changing ranks…the top 40 would make more sense to me if I understood Google’s ranking methods. Speaking of Google, they’ve added Google compute a mass cooperative information designed to help solve problems hit by distributed computing, like the old Seti@home site. This is even more handy, not as a screensaver but as just helping out. More info is available at folding@home. At one time at my last company, I had over a dozen machines with the screensaver running. cath555 turned me on to the medical version (rather than seti) method way back when.
One of my vampire-spawn has vanished, leaving me with only 3 direct descendants. Liliana , mixedresults and LdySaphyre (sire of are all lasting quite nicely, though.
