Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Eeep. Just realised that tomorrow's the 1st of July. Or the 'refresh email every 5 seconds' day.

    Why is tomorrow your "refresh email every 5 seconds" day? What are you waiting for?

    Ahhh. Very cool. I'd wish you luck, but I honestly don't think it's needed.

  • Congrats, Alan!

    Remember to enjoy this time because soon enough she'll be waking you up constantly in the middle of the night ... to sneak out of the house, "borrow" the car, and run off to the night clubs.

  • So of the two new kittens, the boy has tapeworms and the girl is very very sick. She's lost half a pound over the past several days (not good). The vet's hoping it's tapeworm, because that's a problem that can be easily solved by the shots they both got last night.

    But still... Nothing worse than bringing them home and watching them go downhill very shortly afterward.

    Mine is April 1st, which also means that it's "check the header and routing information" day. I know my friends too well.

    Best of luck!

    Hey guys, going a bit off topic here but would like some advice please as I know pretty much all of you are writers/bloggers.

    I've had a blog post copied word for word and was wondering if anyone else here has had this happen? If so, what did you do?

    Cheers, Andrew

    Take off. Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    Oh, and do what Koen says. Also, for added protection, make sure you have an explicit copyright page[/url]. I stole Gail's.

    I haven't quite finished building my volcano lair, once that's complete I'll be able to follow that advice 🙂

    The copyright page is a good idea, I'll do that in the meantime

    Wait a sec. You started blogging without having the volcano lair completed first? See what you did wrong there?

  • So, I hope your little ones get better soon.

    I am currently baby sitting a cat that had a scrap on the back of the paw. He keep licking it and it got worse. After a trip to the doctor, he needed medicine on it once a day. My friend is not good at putting on medicine and holding the cat at the same time so I said I would.

    All better now. He should be going home soon.

    Congrats Alan! My second daughter turns 3 months on Friday and I can confirm that SQL stands for Sleep Quality Lowered in this case 😀

    Brilliant and so true!
