Paid members errors!? Why!? Even though there is a dedicated web server and a dedicated database server for paid members, it is just a dedicated slave server. Both sides have to still share the master database. The devs have been hacking away all night and all day to move code from hitting the master DB to the slaves. They’re mostly done, but this message will probably pop up anyway.
Remember:Reload less, it will work more often.

Deadjournal is down now?
ugh
A sample of the selectivity for the grotto… may or may not keep the idea. a petroglyph for each region?

aimbot smarterchild is getting smarter. 🙂
it has language translation on there now… French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish so far, and a spellcheck, plus new games.
I heartily recommend adding him to your buddylist (for aim, yahoo, msn… I think ICQ is coming soon, too. ).. it has a good web search, btw. 🙂
The house is now clean, save for me. Time for the pod to make with the self-wash.
Working on the webpage redesign, and stumbled over this page – http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chauvet/en/index.html
the map interaction is similar to what I want.
bonus factoid
Cave Bear :
A very tall bear with a massive head. It was vegetarian and did not live in caves, but hibernated there. It became extinct approximately 10,000 years ago.
If you’re having way too much trouble with livejournal…
opendiary.com seems to be working fine too, and the friends feature on there is pretty neat. same disads as LJ, no java or shockwave embeds… but most of you guys don’t mind that. they have a decent calendar, random, and also have a nifty ‘theme’ and ‘circles’ features that IU’d liek to see implemented here.
you can look at mine, here… but I’m thinking that my backup is deadjournal, then opendiary.com, then blogger.
(I have alterior motives…if all the folks that complain leave, the servers will work again for me! )
Behold! The Beast Wakes!
Must do my chores… just lurking here to do a quick post, and procrastinate to see if my sweetie will pop up before I dash off to do laundry.
I had a wonderful night last night, all told… the mood was sensual, the company, delightful. I love a very special woman…I spent a little chunk of the night creating some stuff for her, from some custom scripting to things rather more romantic. [I wonder if this is visible outside of source? I love you, sweet moonflower!]
A clever way to hide things in plain sight. enclose them inside of less than/greater than signs. 🙂
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
[update-noon] Ok.. I’m off! see you kids later! But first, a pirate joke.
So this pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel coming out of the front of his pants. The bartender says, “Hey, what’s up with that steering wheel?” The pirate replies, “Arr, it’s driving me nuts.”
testing the reinstall
you know… i’d have posted a lot more this last week if the client was able to reach the host.
ah well, I’ll transfer stuff from dj to here eventually.
I’m going to try reinstalling it, per Jen’s suggestion.
straight dope on Yellow-bellies
Where did the expression “yellow-bellied” come from? I’ve heard it used in the expression, “yellow-bellied coward.” I can’t for the life of me think why having a yellow belly would make you a coward.

sadly, we really couldn’t do the reaction time part, but the rest is interesting, and perhaps, telling.

up and at ’em!
getting up extra early this morning to get a lead on walkies while it’s still cool outside.
If I’m going to walk for an hour in august, I may as well not bake! 🙂
In other news, my LJ client isn’t connecting, so I’m having to type this into notepad and then transfer it to the web client. bah! poop on LJ!
See you when I return.
vertiginous – steganography & color test
vertiginous vur-TIJ-uh-nuhs, adjective:
1. Affected with vertigo; giddy; dizzy.
2. Causing or tending to cause dizziness.
3. Turning round; whirling; revolving.
4. Inclined to change quickly or frequently; inconstant.
Vertiginous derives from Latin vertigo, “a turning round, a whirling round; giddiness,” from vertere, “to turn.” Related words include reverse, “to turn back (re-) or around”; subvert, “to undermine” (from sub-, “under” + vertere; at root “to turn from under; to overturn”); and versus, “against” (from versus, “turned towards,” hence “facing, opposed,” from the past participle of vertere).
steganography (ste-GUH-nog-ruh-fee) noun
Secret communication by hiding the existence of message.
A couple of examples of steganography: shrinking the secret text (by repeated use of a photocopy machine) until it’s the size of a dot and then putting it in an unsuspected place, such as on top of a letter i in some innocuous letter. Second, shaving the head of a man, writing the secret message on his pate with unwashable ink, and then letting the hair grow back before dispatching him to the destination. To take an example from modern digital techniques, one could put the text of a message in the blank spaces in an image file.
From Greek stego- (cover) + -graphy (writing).
and results from my color test – from
Blue personality, with a weak secondary of white – If you’re a Blue-White combination, you are comfortable. You express yourself softly and sincerely. People find you determined, yet flexible. You are someone with whom almost anyone can get along.
