Quite - would you like to define "Normal"?

Which time zone have we warped back into? It's astounding, time is fleeting......

Morning all, Longest period of cold turkey I've ever experienced, still, it's back now so let's hope the symptoms pass quickly! GordonS: great article about South Pimlico in RM!

You never know where they'll appear next (or when!)

I once turned up at a relative's house with a piece of computer equipment I was providing them and greeted them with "Beware of Geeks bearing Gifts"! That sounds so reTardised

Sorry, ye from the end of the hedge; IT (Infernal Technology) is getting a bit of a bashing ATM!

Sounds like the role model for the BOFH!!

the thought of

Sounding more like Shakespeare's List ATM. Been waiting for hours for the 24 hours to start but it's starting to look dangerously like Much Ado About Nothing. Prove me wrong, someone, anyone, please! (Operation to have tongue surgically removed from cheek is booked for later in the week!)

OK, what's that then?

Not sure I can stand the pace here! What's Twitter - I've nearly gotten to grips with the idea of (note not the use of!) RSS feeds and Blogs (short, I believe for Web Logs) and am almost used to the changes that RMWeb itself has imposed on us. Now twitter?? As one of my uni posters used to say: whenever I feel like studying, I lay down until the feeling goes away. I wonder if, if I ignore Twitter, will it go away?

Sorry to hear the gravity of your lad's injuries, Old Mrs S. Hope the hobbling will soon pass! BOFH = Bas***d (add, in any order you feel appropriate, the letters r, t & a) Operator From Hell and derives from a comic series of articles in the computer press several years ago about life as an IT system operator - the guy who spent many hours (as they used to that long ago) sitting in the room with the computers changing disk units, feeding punched tape or cards in,retrieving printout and putting it in the racks for the users, and sorting out problems with the users' terminals. Ah, them were t' days. All the 'screens' ran from a single computer, living in its own air conditionned room, locked away from all but the BOFHs who thus had total control over who could do what and when with their computer! HTH!

AH, so it is (probably the closest we'll get to) rocket science! ROFL Thanks for the explanation!

Here's a clue: 189 active user(s) (in the past 15 minutes) 134 members, 50 Guests, 5 Anonymous Users | Show by: Last Click or Member Name Now why 'Member Name' goes to a screen with one line per member is anyone's guess. By default, he who clicks last comes first!

Not Guilty, Mi' Lud!

Good point! Come across the BOFH?

I tried it and nothing happened! Re the list - it's sorted by who clicked last. There is an option to list alphabetically but that gives a multi page list

Can I SAG along too? Please?

No wonder posts will be lost. Surely better to shut down for a 'maintenance break' like every other server, transfer then re-open for business?

Ah, thanks for clarifying that, Tony; sorry if I made you feel hungry! Await to see what happens when we're all 'in the pink'!
