    And that would be The White Shadow, right?

    The White Shadow? That's you isn't it? I can still (almost) dunk a basketball.

    OUCH!

    Jack, Dude, he's talkin' smack 'bout chu. You'd best smack back. :w00t:

    Not really smack - most men can dunk on a 7' rim. Without a rim height qualification - no smack.

    Jack has to behave. He's bringing his wife to the dkRanch in a few weeks and he might get stuck shoveling stuff so his wife can ride a horse :w00t:

    Hmmm - I think Jack should in the name of service if not in the name of payment :Whistling:

    I thought it was the shadow of you and the hand rails on the steps of your swimming pool :rolleyes:

    But indeed ... the arm floating baloons are missing .... photoshopped ?

    Hey Steve - what's the new avatar?

    My wife got me a new hat this past weekend. I was wearing it when I went to take water out to a horse in a corral and photo'd the shadow.

    Keep on using that avatar and we might start calling you The Shadow. 😛

    ...who knows what evil lies in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows, he ran for BoD...

    but then we need a Shadow II for Jack. Maybe he can be Lucky Strike, since those were every commercial on The Shadow.

    thanks for sending me 18+ e-mails to my box :w00t:.

  • I was working on my mini session for SQL Sat 49 and just came up with the best piece of troubleshooting advice in the universe!

    Remember, the computer is only doing what you're telling it to do, not what you want it to do. There are no telepathic circuits in your server.

    'Nuff said! 😉

  • Nice advice. That and check the cable/power cord first will help.

    Not me, I got no real vertical jump. 😉

    No way. My wife shovels it every week so she can ride for free. If Tia needs some help Alice will happily shovel.

  • Ha, we got two new horses this weekend. We have plenty to shovel. I'm sure Alice will be happy to command delegate some chores to you.

    Remember, the computer is only doing what you're telling it to do, not what you want it to do. There are no telepathic circuits in your server.

    Troubleshooting hint #1 - Is it plugged in?

    Troubleshooting hint #2 - Is it turned on?

    Those two have fixed more things when the real trouble is between the chair and computer. :w00t:

    The advice about the computer doing exactly what you tell it to has helped a lot as well. The computer never gets it wrong, it is always right. If it's wrong, it's because YOU told it to do it wrong.

    Of course, that really only works when you're talking software errors and not hardware issues.

    Which reminds me of the old joke...

    How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    None... that's a hardware issue. :w00t:
