C2 Afternoon OPEN - we're moving soon!


Guys, here's an open. Sorry for the amount of news neglect you're suffering today, but we are very close to being ready to send you all your registration emails (you may wake up to them), and we're making final preparations for that. We expect to be "home" tomorrow (oh - and wait until you hear the bit of history trivia Pi Guy made us aware of last night!) - so please keep each other informed on what's happening in the world for the next 24/48 or so hours while we tie the bow on this site for you. We're just about there, and things are looking good. The Pub will be open and hopping as usual at 5:00PM PST/8:00PM EST. More info to come SOON! - CC

  12. Guys, I have a graphic to design and a few templates for the contributors to create - I'll be in and out of this thread for the next couple of hours...if you have questions I will try to make sure I get them answered.

    We're doing it! Finally! YAY!!!

  16. BTW CC. Sorry about your team. The old man is really sticking it to them.

    That's okay. Remember when his father passed away? He had one of his better games that night...he thrives when he's running on this kind of emotion, and though it felt like a major betrayal to me when he went to Minnesota, I can't hate him. It is what it is.

    ReplyDelete

  17. CC, very exciting. Many thanks to you and Bare and any other guys doing the testing and behind the scenes stuff. The stuff no one wants to know about but expects to work well all the time. LOL Don't want it to seem like a thankless job...so thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  18. Hmmmm, tagline. Going to have to start thinking about that one. And avatars, going to need a lot of avatars. :)

    /joys of a camera, I can make my one. :D

  21. Moving, huh?

    Make sure all those Dresden figurines are wrapped up carefully.

  22. Maybe some of you graphic wizards can answer this. I found an image I like that was 86 x 130 pixels. I cropped it to 80 x 80. As long as it's square, will it display properly at 35 x 35?

    ReplyDelete

  23. snow, thank you for that...there will be a thread up in the Help & Support forum where people can abuse us. : )

    buzz, invest in bubble warp.

    And then a *crunch* to the right

    (You thought you'd packed them tight!)
    Yes, it's that needless bust
    That really drives you insane

  30. Finished carving up the duck. Two boneless breasts, two thigh/drumstick combos, and about a pound of duck sausage.

    Fat is happily rendering on the stove. I love having a little jar of duck fat in the fridge.

  32. Well the Greenbay/Vikings game is getting interesting now.

  33. Hey OLT. I was down in Dallas Thursday. Austin Lounge Lizards song (sadly, no Youtube link):
    I'm going back to Dallas Texas to see if anything could be worse than losing you... some cities have soul but Dallas must have been at the bank when they handed it out..

  34. "I am supporting Doug Hoffman, because denying Nancy Pelosi another foot soldier is vital to restoring fiscal responsibility and common sense in Washington."


    Fancy talkin' for a guy who was running the campaign for someone who would also have been been in Pelosi's pocket.

  35. Of course, this website will pretty much need to be completely blown up, to protect the innocent who haven't been caught yet.

  44. Lucius, the girl's favorite TV shows are on the Food Channel. She copies recipes from the web. The wife is a good cook but admits that daughter is better.
    Lord help us if she ever decides to become a vegetarian.

  45. Jim -- my oldest son likes to watch "iron chef" (The Japanese version). His cooking forays tend towards the same sort of kamikaze cusine.

  50. Hi you all C² community!

    This place is abuzz with an-ti-ci---pation!

    ReplyDelete

  51. Which will be taken as proof of a cover up.

    L/S, K/B: I've learned more about our motives from reading other websites than I ever did from reading our own. Who knew we were such crafty, plotting ne're-do-wells, posting news links and open threads?! LOL

    Stock tip: Thorazine. ; )

    ReplyDelete

  53. Well this is interesting.

    What will be the deciding factor is voter turn out. The ugly secret is that the black mayors from Maynard Jackson on down have been primarily elected owing to support from white voters. They turn out; voter turn out in the majority black districs usually hovers around 5%.

  54. C² I gave up on reading other sites when I gave my original nic here, except for seeing if I was being ripped on the other one. They don't seem to miss me at all.

    While giving out those ARMs, one will need them to shoot themselves when they turn to fixed.

  76. Say, has anyone ever though to write "Briga-Dune", about a magical Scottish village that gets eaten by sandworms once every hundred years?


    (By the way, buzz, "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" is from "Finian's Rainbow", not "Brigadoon"... sure, like all us Celtic types look alike, right? RACIST!)

  77. Of course not, Call! It would be a battle of wits, and frankly, the other side isn't putting up much of a fight.

  79. "sort of" Republican isn't going to cut it - but neither is way out loony (that is you, Ron Paul).

    ReplyDelete

  80. ArmyWife - It is disproportionate response of wit against Hope&Change. Wit is bourn out of life-experience while the other side has got only dreams and illusions.
    They should be no match.

  94. Erik The Red
    If your Win7 machine is more powerful than your XP, that would explain the speed.
    XP really needs a minimum of 1GB RAM now, most machines come with 3-4, and much faster processors.
    Dual core chips can do two things at once, for example.
    So you might have the hardware manufacturers more to thank than Microsoft.

  99. Army Wife,

    I did real well until after 2:00 AM at which time I attempted to catch up with one of my girlfriends who stayed real late. Hubby said it was almost four when we went to bed, I thought we had a prowler later, then had a friend show at 7:45 AM to foist an abandoned puppy on my drunken sleepless self. The pup made so much racket playing with one of our dogs that I never got to go back to bed.

  116. What kind of weenie RINO drops out of a race at the end?
