In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

Well, there goes the water conservation excuse. :rolleyes:

That excuse was eliminated at the suggestion of using two shower heads.

So I guess you're cheaper to bribe than Moonbear...

I'm cheap, but I'm not easy.


Or is it the other way around? (I'm so confused now that Dangerdog has stopped using smilies.)

It would never occur to me to think of you as 'easy'. Simple, perhaps, but never easy... :biggrin:

I guess you're right, my wife says I'm difficult.

I like that thing. It's succinct, yet somehow elegant.

I'm going to have to slow down the sparring a tad. My boss always wants to discuss the latest episode of 'Lost', and I haven't watched the one I taped a couple of nights ago. Carry on, and I'll try to catch up every 10 or 15 minutes.

Closest I could come to "Pthttttttp" in a smilie.

Spin, parry, thrust, boig. Touche. Enjoy the show.

I thought that's what :-p was for. And you, Moonbear and I are going to have to sit us down and figure out once and for all how to spell 'tphgthght' (whatever). If we don't reach a concensus, it's just going to confuse the newbies.

Okay, now I'm going.

Her daytime schedule seems to be that she strikes about 15 minutes before I have to go to work, so you should have about 1:45. :biggrin:
 
  • #2,395
eexcellent. Do you have the plots for her daily activity on weekly basis?

We'll have to also include the lunch times and other idlings. It seems she is not devoting -all- her time on PF, and wasting it on sleep and professising.. whatever that means

cronxeh said:

Not yet. My own schedule is so screwy that it's hard to correlate to hers. Besides, she seems to be one of those who pops in and out randomly. Half the time she posts something she's shown as logged out. Evo too.:confused:

I guess it can mean whatever you want it too; it's your word. :biggrin: Daniel Webster must be just standing somewhere shaking his head in amazement. :-p

Entrirely too much "grin" for that particular use.

As far as irreverence and mindset and suchlike go, yeah. :biggrin:
A lot of the tech stuff still eludes me, though. It took me 2 or 3 days to figure out how to use these bloody quotes, and I still don't know how to post a picture or make a link. (I made a link by accident once, but nobody'll tell me how I did it.) :redface: And I'm still running into new acronyms every few days.

You'll get the tech stuff in time. I'm still learning that myself. As for the links, clip the link to clipboard, press the link button. The first screen is the title you want for the link. The second screen is where you paste the link.

Of course, now that you know the secret, I have to kill you. :cool:

So, is it about time for you to be heading to work yet? :smile:

You're trying to plot my activity patterns? Ha ha ha! Good luck! I can't even keep track of myself. You're right, I do pop in and out a lot. It all depends on how many meetings people schedule for me in a day or when I'm in the lab vs chained to a desk or working from home. While most of the time it's great to not have a fixed schedule, some days I really crave having such a schedule so I know exactly where I'm supposed to be when and can plan for more fun time.

I thought that it should be something semi-complicated like that, so I didn't even try. All I did was type in the address to show someone where it was, and it came up as a link. :confused:

As long as you don't uncheck any boxes in your settings to tell it to do differently, it automatically turns addy's into links. Artman is talking about how to make a link with text instead of a link with an address showing, like this.

Hey, what the...?! Every time I click that thing I end up back at the top, and then get back to here, and it sends me to the top again, and I get back here, and... is this a trick?

Thanks for the info, though, really. Now about pictures...

...and I can't read the answer until I get back from work. Your timing, Ms. Bear, is as impeccable as always. Gotta go. :-p

Apparently Danger and Artman are stalking me to plot my activity patterns and PF posting schedule. I'm not sure what purpose it will serve yet...to avoid me or catch me?

Hmm ok. Well I am eating waffles, and about to read a biography of lincoln, abraham.
