How long have we been posting?

krossfyter

I think I got the info on the briefcase from the manuscript.....u can buy it at most book stores. Anyway, that's pretty cool u were able to chat with Tarantino...he's kinda strange....bad actor....but has some good ideas.

Arn says the server recounted itself or something like that....it's cool....did anyone lose their posts or just some post amounts? I'm not worried :p
 
I just ignore GoCyrus now, I say we just all ignore him and never respond and I bet he will go away after a while.

I used useless posts to get to 100 and 200 but now I don't bother because I seem to move at a similar speed without posting 1 and 2 word posts.

I am happy to see I am 5th in the post rankings, but I will not try to stay or change my post average change because of this.

I think Avatars are a great idea for people who have over 500 because its more personal. And today I am going to announce a new avatar. Stand By!

a trekie aye! well cool.


havent heard from gocyrus...i wonder what he is doing or thinking? i wonder why he does not respond and defend his view? oh well maybe he jsut thinks it is not worth it.
 
Even though I dont have 200 posts or more, someone asked what Macworlds people have been too. I went to Macworld SanFran. 2000 and 2001. Didn't go to 2002 becuase I was a volunteer for the Salt Lake Games and one of my training days was during Macworld.:( But the Olympics only come to your city once in a lifetime pretty much. And I can go to Macworld any other year I want:)

My post count dropped from 525 to 509 in the last few days... I guess some of my posts have been removed as well... I thought most of mine were fairly decent. I dont remember posting any one liners like hahah, yes, or I hate gates!

Maybe I have and I just dont remember.

if the original thread starter decides to drop a thread by deleting it, all the posters on those threads will lose those posts in their count

i had a thread i dropped and the counts went down on everyone involved but this was way way back so don't jump on me...i have almost been here two years back when many of the posters were still on their bondi blue imacs or then new black g3 powerbooks
 
i would actually get embarassed if my post count got too high compared to when i signed up. it just shows you don't do much at work.. considering you have a job.
 
hmm.....I have a job.....I go to night school....I freelance....I exercise often....I frequent coffee shops.....AND I have a girlfriend (of course she just moved out of town 2 weeks ago, but besides the point!)....

so how the hell do I manage to stay around here so much?! :) :D ;) :p :cool: :eek:

hey eye,

i used to be a human resources professional and the second highest burnout rate job in america is high tech/IT right after being an air traffic controller

i think it is because us techies usually tend (much of the time) to overbook like crazy

take it easy and underbook...there is no hurry for school or growing as a techie as i have gathered from your goals reading your posts over the last few months

but i like that you are in first place and that it isn't me anymore...that got really tiring for sure (and look at spikey, he seems to be gone these days...but probably came on as a new persona)
 
jefhatfield...

u know....when I was in tech school we took a personality test....my results said I was headed for burnout.....go figure? My instructor said I was meant for the "high stress" job....

As far as going too far....I agree u do hold a valid point there. All my life I've set goals for myself that didn't always come easy....but I've managed in one way or another to achieve them. I've tried more, however, in the past few years to really grab a hold of life instead of taking it so seriously.....which I have been able to do.

True I am in a big rush to get to where I want to be...even though I question that each passing day! Still, I know better than to think I can have instant gratification....so I'm try to be as patient as possible, knowing that good things come when one is patient. I also realize that my return to college is going to last for several years before I finish....it helps out when u see the reality in it instead of the perks.

All that said, I don't mind being in first place in the postings here....even if I get flamed for posting like crazy....it gives me something to do between tasks while working. I'm just waiting for someone around here to surpass me....I know it'll happen...so I suppose I'll enjoy it while it lasts! :p
 
i was last on my baseball team...i never hit one ball

the best athelete at our high school has been fighting aids

the star quarterback died in a one car accident in his 20s

i was last around the track and never broke 5 minutes for the mile

our best track guy now has als

my ivy league buddy lawyer just commited suicide after high school

i got my BA at 30 and have been a grad student for seven long years

i didn't start my tech career until i was 35 when a lot of techies in the valley are/or were thinking of retiring (before the the bust)

i won't even get a microsoft storefront selling and fixing computers and networks until i am in my 40s

and i won't even get a professional mac until i really need it, and that will be when i retire in my 50s

so it is ok to be slow or last...really

i mean who wants to be the youngest and richest bafoon in the cemetary...sometime just look at a silicon valley area cemetary and see that it has the youngest tombstones in all of america

in other words, chill and enjoy the sunset

I just signed up less than a month ago, and I'm already at like 74 I think, I'm not nessecarily on all the time, I just browse quickly for anything interesting most days, but every week, or maybe twice a week I get relly bored, and post like 15 times in one night, for anyone on right now, you can see that I've just posted quite a bit.

I don't know

I know I switched here from MacOS Rumors on 4/1 because that site is SO slow to get information and lacks in content. Saw a link once there for this site and the content and up-to-date nature got me registered and adding a Toolbar Favorite in a flash.
 
I've been reading MacRumors since last summer, but recently, I signed up, and immediately set it as my homepage. Have OS X with multiple users is nice so that way other users aren't bothered, and can go right to a "useful" website.
