    woohoo down to 23.2 posts per day to reach 20k by the 2nd birthday :-D:-D:-D

    And as long as that keeps going down, we'll make it!

    Now, is anyone tracking Gail to see which will get to 20k first? 🙂

    Are we talking strictly posts or overall points?

    Strictly posts

    16.7 per day

    Overall points

    3.7 per day

    Well, the thread is strictly posts. Seems fair to me to be consistent.

    I would agree and it seems the thread is gaining ground

    Oh, and for the record

    I have 188.0 posts per day to reach 20k by the threads 2nd anniversary

    Never gonna make it, Dude. Less you post to this forum group, one post every 7 minutes for the whole 24 hour duration.

    If you only want to post during business hours, though, 1 post every 2.5 minutes...

    Ain't gonna happen.

    ...One of the other boards I frequent ....

    A traitor!:w00t:

    Non-SQL Board, silly. @=Pbbt

    NoSQL? 😛

    Careful, you. I have the DBCC Timewarp remote and I'm not afraid to use it!

    Who let Brandie get hold of the remote???? Alvin, weren't you supposed to be keeping it safe?;-)

    Not my job. I think it's Jason's responsibility.

    No problem - she got the horcrux remote. If she tries to timewarp - she gets devoured.

    wow, that's like recursive geek-ity. If you'd tossed in a hitchiker's guide reference, I think you'd be a god...

  • Thought I'd share, I'm reading Ed Tufte at lunchtime, and can't stop laughing as he's talking about chartjunk and the "We-Used-A-Computer-To-Build-A-Duck Syndrome" :-D:hehe:

  • I hate to stoop to this level, but...

    It *is* an excuse for being TARDIS-y.

    I now have to go slap myself around.

    And with that statement we are now only in need of 23.0 posts per day to reach the goal 😉

    Finished a 3-hour game of Settlers and checking mail before crashing in front of the TV for an hour or so.
