- hee! - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 16:05
Power out from Friday 12 pm to 5 pm Sunday, internet came back sometime while I was at work today. - Tim Mar 1, 16:03 14
- Jose Reyes tripled in his first spring at-bat! - musubi Mar 1, 16:23
- I was worried about you, and wondered if your power was out. Glad everything is a-ok. -- nm - Callisto Mar 1, 16:12 7
  - My thoughts Saturday afternoon as I was buried under some blankets were "they must totally be freaking out about the friday numbers column." - Tim Mar 1, 16:15 6
    - So yeah, why I'm a moron: (well, on Saturday, anyway) - Tim Mar 1, 16:24
    - I know I was. - Qale Mar 1, 16:16 4
      - don't talk to me for two weeks. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 16:19 2
        
        These *are* the jokes people. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:23
        
        Heh. You people are so unsympathetic about Qale's plight. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:21
      - Traitor. -- nm - David Mar 1, 16:18
- Glad to hear you're okay...sorry about the car. -- nm - David Mar 1, 16:12

[Katherine]McPhee, who will be guest starring on an upcoming episode of Community, has snagged a lead role in the new NBC comedy pilot The Pink House. -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:53
Can I ask for more tech help? The DNS issue from the other day. My new site if you use www doesn't work, still shows the parked page. - Qale Mar 1, 15:51 16
- if you ping both variations of the domain name, do they resolve to different IP addresses? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:53 15
  - I'm not sure how to do that. :( -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 15:53 14
    - open a command line (start, run, cmd) type ping [domainname.com] without square brackets - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:58 12
      - They *are* different. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 15:59 11
        
        could mean that your ISP's domain name services haven't updated yet -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:00 10
        
        Goddamn godaddy. They're finally giving me the annoyance they've given others I guess. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:01 8
        
        I think I had this issue when I was trying to forward my BartramRelay.com address. I think I had to do a ctrl+F5 and it resolved. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:05 1
        
        Hard refresh sadly was the first thing I tried. - Qale Mar 1, 16:08
        
        I doubt Godaddy is the company that provides your personal internet. But if their DNS servers have a super-long TTL, it could totally explain it. - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:04 5
        
        Oh so you're saying that it's the ISP that's causing the trouble, not the hosting company. (Can I still goddam godaddy cause they ARE being annoying) -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:07 4
        
        and that I'm probably still okay, it's just going to take longer. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:08 3
        
        yeah - I'd say stick to using the working version for the time being, and ignore the broken one for a few hours, and it might be enough to fix it. - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:10 2
        
        Woohoo! I get to keep blaming Godaddy! (spoiler) - Qale Mar 1, 16:15
        
        the specific tool to use is "DNS Records" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:11
        
        (In order to make more efficient usage of resources, they cache some domain lookups for hours or days ...) - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:01
    - I went to this site and used both www and without variations and got the same IP address. Is that what you mean? -- (link) - Qale Mar 1, 15:57
Apparently, the kids in Port Alberni have nothing better to do than to thwart crime via the Internet. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:50
google has acquired picnik - photo editing software. nm but: -- (link) - b. Mar 1, 15:49 3
- uh oh. This may not be good for Flickr ... but I barely used the picnik integration, because it was all locked down for 'premium' use only. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:51 2
  - I've used it quite a few times. It's super easy. Hrm. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:53 1
    - It was useless for touchups when I last tried it. All I wanted to do was erase a license plate, and it wouldn't let me. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:53

Chicago's handgun ban hits the supreme court tomorrow. Thoughts? -- (link) - oblique Mar 1, 15:33 2
- I'm amused by Daley's math that every gun equals a child's life. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 15:39 1
  - Me either. He seems delusional regarding the topic but then he's not exactly the most balanced dude -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 15:40
So today was a suck day for a lot of people. - ty97 Mar 1, 15:27 10
- tell her to buy a case of champagne from room service & put it on her hotel bill -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 15:55
- man, that sucks. :/ -- nm - b. Mar 1, 15:40
- having dealt with corporate jobs in my way past, I'm glad I don't have to deal with them ever again. -- nm - CQ Mar 1, 15:35
- When I got laid off from Motorola, one of our team was on vacation when it happened - oblique Mar 1, 15:35
- That sucks. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 15:34 3
  - I have no doubt they knew. - ty97 Mar 1, 15:40 2
    - where are you right now? any chance they thought it would be a 'treat' for these people to get to travel before they got cut? -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 16:03
    - Then it is unfortunate that they chose to add to the grief for these people. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 15:48
- I wish I could say "unbelievable" but crap like this seems more the norm these days. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 1, 15:31

Dammit - David, treat this kid well. -- (link) - Reagen Mar 1, 15:22 4
- The mood on Preds boards is rather gleeful. We'll flip the other guy and probably come out ahead in terms of draft picks. -- nm - David Mar 1, 15:30 3
  - as much as I was ragging on the Russian defense a few boards back, Grebs is a rock in his own zone. - Reagen Mar 1, 15:38 1
    - I'm a bit surprised that we chose to do this given that we're building an armada of defensemen. - David Mar 1, 15:44
  - (Hamhuis is very popular here, though. He's one of the few who have really integrated themselves into the community.) -- nm - David Mar 1, 15:32
Tonight's Earworm -- (link) - amoxy Mar 1, 15:22 [youtube]
Boston bridal show actually internet scam. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Mar 1, 15:21 1

idlyitw knows how to kick off a Monday. Keeley Hazell is the top pic gallery. -- nm - Shaun Mar 1, 15:15
for those who were around then: did the canadians talk as much smack on TT in 2002 when the US/Canada last faced off for the gold? - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 15:00 9
- i don't remember it, but maybe, -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 15:06 2
  - on our home turf even. that's bad form - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 15:07 1
    - *poke-check* -- nm - Team Canada si Mar 1, 15:16
- Perhaps I should extend you a warm thank-you, for making yesterday's victory so much more savoury. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:04 1
  - hee hee, gold medal winners don't spell savory with a "u" -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 15:04
- [deleted]

  - I was happy to do nothing other than cheer wins until pixie stepped in. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 15:12 1

        asking cause I don't know. Do they have a network? -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 16:02 2
        
        Yes although it's not quite as elaborate. -- nm - David Mar 1, 16:11 1
        
        That's an understatement. -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 16:22
  - do you have an original PS3, or a Slim? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:44 1
    - We've got the original PS3 -- nm - Stephen Mar 1, 14:48

  - Mister Mumpower, I see you've married above your station. We're going to have to rewrite your code. -- nm - Agent Remlik Mar 1, 14:42 9
    - the matrix would never unplug david. the electricity his brain generates thinking about the Braves is enough to power a large city -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 14:49 8
      - Very true. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 14:59 7
        
        in fact, the entire collegiate and professional sports system was created by the Matrix just to keep David's brain cranked up to 110% capacity -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 15:03 6
        
        that probably powers the Tenn power grid. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 15:31 5
        
        he's like a mini-TVA himself for the Matrix -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 15:35 4

- I agree she's attractive, but I'm not so sure she's in the top 15 of female curlers at this Olympics. -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 14:22 1
  - [deleted]
- does a MILF have to have grown up kids? -- nm - marcel Mar 1, 14:20

    - Maybe that's what moose likes. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:21
- Jennifer Jones is hotter. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:16 2
