I'm pretty sure the chick sitting next to me just farted. I say that because there's only 2 of us in this part of the office at the moment, I didn't do it, and when she got up and walked away there was a sudden smell of shit in the air. What I like is that she dropped it and THEN walked off. Didn't think of fucking off and doing it somewhere else now, did she? Oh no.. Sharing the love. Eith

means Fix My Lighthouse. Back in the 17th Century, lighthouse keepers were tthe butt of everyone's jokes. When a lighthouse keeper was made fun of, his retort would be "why dont you fix my lighthouse!" which was shortened over time to FML. This term was made famous in the great battle of the Sole Bay in 1902 where 14 peolpe died and 1 person broke their glasses. "if you are go

Such sweet things said above. I like Kim's post. We do try to be nice and let anything roll around these parts, our borders are very broad and it takes a lot to be borderline I'm loving some of the debates I'm seeing around the place. You kids are alright. As for voting.. didn't DK say he'd work on that like 2 years ago? Slack bitch

The cookies seem to get half eaten from time to time. The forum is better than the gallery, if you just click 'mark as read' on the main forum page it should reset itself. I do this maybe every 3-4 months and it's all good. The speech bubbles on images. Yeah. Hm. I'm gonna blame DK. I'm not sure what can be done with that, I'm pretty sure that's cookie based too. I'll have a word to DK se

You mark the entire forum as read, not the topic. If you go to the main forum page, you should see a link under every topic which says "Mark as read". Click that, goes away

It was too cold outside to go pick up dinner so I had Thai delivered. Because it's crap weather it took them nearly 2 hours to get it here, by which time I wasn't hungry any more and my wife and I had already had 2 bottles of wine. Most of dinner is now leftovers in the fridge.

Yeah I know, and a 500 and 502 version. I don't remember my reasoning but I decided that redirecting to homepage was better.
Forum: plus613.net

It's pretty easy to tell how the regulars vote by their homepage. If an image appears in their 'most hated images', they voted it 1 or 2. If it appears in 'favourite images' they voted it a 4 or 5. 3 doesn't show up in either if I recall. Finding how anons vote is pretty much impossible, I'd have to dig through the database and even then I'd need to know the IP of a particular anon who votes o

We only count 1 vote per user, what macro could you write? I've just set both sites to redirect to the homepage if a 404 error is encountered - so please let me know if you notice anything unusual (especially like a broken/missing image taking you to the homepage.. not that there'd ever be any of them on the site, not something built as solidly as this). I now need to move core DNS to the

I kinda agree that voting shouldn't move you forwards or backwards. As DK said originally it was an incentive for people to vote, to continue through the gallery - but one of the things that's become apparent over the years is people just don't bother voting I wouldn't be unhappy about voting leaving you on your current image, and having a skip forward/backwards image selector instead... but

I don't know if my bluray player doesn't work, or the HDMI cable is dodgy, because I've never used it and I can't get any picture from it when I tried today. I figure it's not the amp because other stuff works and I tried the cable in another port and same deal.

Mmm! So the new DB server crashed before. Not sure what happened, but I took the outage as an opportunity to do a little software update and housekeeping. I'll have to check it out some more.
Forum: plus613.net

I don't think it'll be very useful to you Aside from the fact it sounds like a jumbo at takeoff when the fans spin up, I don't think a 1RU rackmounted server would be great in the home. Also I don't think it has VGA out (though it might). The old DB server is a Sun Fire X4100. The new one is the M2 model of the same server. Old is 2 x dual core Opterons, the new is 2 x quad core Opterons.

I was looking seriously at updating the IOTW yesterday while I was watching the Mars stuff. The problem is though, I feel it's unfair to quasi that his great image only gets a couple of weeks when most get months. So I'll do it next week I already know what it's going to be, but you'll have to wait and see. Comment of the week.. that'd mean I have to read all the comments. Or we'd need so

How about we just crown you whiney bitch of the decade and be done with it? Re the moving to next image, that discussion goes back a long, long time (back to 2004 when Revert still existed here) where I think he wanted it to go to a random image and I said that I wanted it to go to next image after somebody voted. The idea being that, at least when we had a small number of pictures, it'd be e
