The other stuff is nice to know, and you would have been welcomed no matter who your daughter was... but since you belong to beccareb... WELCOME!! WE can hardly wait to hear all you have to say on the NYC topic... Any hints on how to get Tormod in to see Letterman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 You know, I love how Dad never told me he was joining... I just found out now, how many days later? But is he going to post his NYC info??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadojla Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 But is he going to post his NYC info??? Well, I wrote a very long post, and when I went to actually post it, something went wrong and it got lost. I was so frustrated and annoyed, I haven't reproduced it yet. Maybe tomorrow. It was mostly things to watch out for, and terminology regarding NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mostly things to watch out for, and terminology regarding NYC.It got lost? that stinks. it's happened to me as well though, but only when i'm booted into windows. somehow, my fingers seem to hit a certain keystroke combo that erases huge portions of text, but only in windows...we very much want to know what the locals have to say about NYC, so please consider re-posting and giving us some pointers.i can't wait to hear the terminology... :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadojla Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I think I took so long to write it up that my session timed out; at least that's what I inferred from the messages I got. Once I logged back on, the full screen of stuff I was going to post had vanished into the bit bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 hopefully, Tormod will chime in here and tell us where to check on the session timeout thing. that part has not happened to me, and i've taken my sweet time writing up some responses. but i do know of other people that the same exact thing you mentioned happened to, one of them was just this evening/morning... we'll check into the session timeout thing though. sorry it happened, and i hope it won't stop you from posting again... :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I think I took so long to write it up that my session timed out; at least that's what I inferred from the messages I got. Once I logged back on, the full screen of stuff I was going to post had vanished into the bit bucket. I had a session like that today. I was getting no response. I got paranoid and copied itinto the copy buffer. I then stopped the submit a couple of times and resubmitted. Aftermore than four minutes. It finally went. This was about 4:30 PM or so PST. Sorry foryou lost of data & effort. Whatta' bummer. :hihi: Maddog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I am really sorry to hear about this. I think that can happen if you're really unlucky and the server is restarted while you work. Then all sessions are lost. I have never had that happen to me but like maddog says, if you write a long post hit "CTRL+A" (select all) and "CTRL+C" (copy) to avoid losing it. Sadly this is beyond our control as Hypography is hosted in Arizona and I happen to be in Oslo, Norway...for some unknown reason my scramjet has been acting up lately so I can't do my routine flights to check out the server. :hihi: I still hope you post your NYC stuff, though.

GAHD Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Aye, I'm very interested to hear what NYC is like. BTW, is the city really layed out like in the Spiderman2 videogame? if so I might actually know my way around a few sections. :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Yeah...everyone but cab drivers travels around on streetcars 50 feet above the ground, and the last stop is always above some river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 lol GAHD!All we'd need to do is tie a lot of ropes to the roofs of the building so you can swing like him too, and find you a red suit to wear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccareb Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Fortunately for all of you, Dad has the most amazing memory of anyone I've every met (the only exception being maybe myself), so he probably has what he had typed memorized and just has to get around to retyping it.

Tormod Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I think beccareb's dad is the most talked-about member who has not yet posted more than a "hi" post. :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
