Did you chat today? Did you like it?
I thought it was kind of fun.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There's not enough settings in flash ---it overloads after a while--there's something about re-writing script to load less, but it's like birds, clouds, sky and space to me
 
rew, what version of flash do you have?

I was on the entire 6 hours with no problem.
 
i loved the chat
 
I even liked the ending. :wink:

Version 9,0,115,0

there no way to get into flash unless you have something in flash playing

I get a window:

"A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly"

There was a movie?

I got that a bunch of times. When I clicked yes it worked fine though.

The chat was great. I liked the Science chat much better.

I couldn't open other windows while I was in chat or it booted me. Which really wasen't a problem, because I really didn't have anything else going on anyways.

I loved the little I saw of it. Seems I did J a great disservice mentioning man flu-

as well as it being unscientific, and prevalent amongst women, too,
I thought he was resting but it turned out that he was making the toasted cheese while I chatted, hence my abrupt depature.
It was great chatting.

It would seem problems are with the individual computers, maybe you can figure what the problem is before the next chat rew.

Things slowed down for a little while, but I never had a problem getting in, just some replies got eaten and others showed up very slowly. It didn't last long though. I had to leave for about 2 hours in the middle (I think it was 2 hours...I didn't watch the clock), and had no problem getting back in, even though that's when Greg was reporting the db spikes.

Damn, I just got back home and the chats gone. :frown:

So where's the transcript? I Googled for it to no avail. Piece of junk search engine if you ask me, failing to index important data like this. I'll have to check with the Library of Congress.

And why is my spell checker underlining "googled"? It's a perfectly cromulent word!

In my days...

That's what you get for having a life...you miss all the fun. :biggrin: I thought you were at a SuperBowl party? It hasn't even started yet, has it?

I just got back from the funeral. I don't feel like going to a super bowl party anymore. I am just going to sit home and do nothing. My back is killing me from the last two nights.

Oh, sorry to hear that. That was a rather long funeral. I guess there must have been some reception or whatever it's called when it's a funeral afterward to be that long.

There was food and a bunch of people talking in Russian.

A wake.

Oh! and Awwww! I was watching Legally Blonde on Comedy Central. The Puppy Bowl is better. :biggrin:

Ahahahahaha! I loved when that little black puppy ran UNDER the husky puppy! :biggrin: So cute!

Edit: OMG! They have a camera IN the water bowl! :smile: This is just too hilarious!

It has been really nice to watch, tho my husband is still trying to make betting squares for it.

Oh, realized that wasn't a husky puppy, but a malamute. I always mix them up. :redface:

Ooh, yay, puppy touchdown! :biggrin:

Try capsaicin cream. I sprained my back a month back and my doctor recommended it - wow, it worked for me. (It's the chemical compound in hot peppers that makes them hot. It's a good analgesisc...just don't get it in your eyes!)

Eh, itll be fine by tomorrow.

The puppies are fighting for possession of the purple stuffed toy! :biggrin: This is addicting.

I could not attend the chat (I work weekends/Nights) I was sleeping.
I mentioned using Skype for voice chats but I think Team Speak would work better (people could create rooms and have separate voice chats).
I will test some things out this week and I will set up a Team Speak server or find a free server so we can also have voice chats. People will just need to download and install the Team Speak client and have speakers or headphones and a Microphone.
I will post the link and the name of the Team Speak server to connect to in a few days.

They had a rerun of the Kitten Halftime Show! I have to try to remember this for next year to invite people over to watch the Puppy Bowl. I know enough people who couldn't care less about football who would love this!

Here is the link to download Team Speak.
http://www.goteamspeak.com/?page=downloads"

It is freeware and all you will need is the Client.
In the morning I will post the name of a common Team speak server where we can all connect for the chat on Sunday.
