Sorry for missing this! Know it’s been six weeks but any luck yet?

Speaking of, I need to get my own drivers updated at some point, specifically the video drivers. Been a ton of updates since I got the new system and I haven’t been keeping up. 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Let’s hope it helps! There is a plugin available that lets you add snippets to the site so they don’t get lost during a theme update. Might be worth looking at once we get BuddyPress updated (I’ll try to get those threads up this weekend if you don’t beat me to it) 🙂

The city was using a robotic lawnmower yesterday to clean up the roadways and that thing was quiet! Was fun watching it for a few minutes while the guy manipulated the controller 🙂

Power Girl has an interesting cover coming out in February: https://s3.amazonaws.com/comicgeeks/comics/covers/large-4994261.jpg?1700346193

Of course, Batman has a swimsuit issue coming out at the same time. Unlike Kryptonians, Batman would be cold! 😛

More than likely, I’ll need to redo the styles for BuddyPress (profiles, private messaging, and the other handy social elements) as it sounds like they’re doing a complete overhaul of the layout and selectors but we shall see! The other styles shouldn’t be affected by a basic theme update. I’ve done a couple so far and nothing bad happened 🙂

The hack we did to et bbPress to show up has been replaced by the setting in the style pack so that shouldn’t break but we all know about Murphy! 😛

Incidentally, the big BuddyPress update is waiting for us to hit the magic button. Probably worth getting the thread up for the two plugins so we can discuss preparations before we hit it. 🙂 Moving kind of slow so feel free to beat me to posting it!

Update: the hardware our instance is on has started dying imminently so they’re doing the migration early to prevent data loss

Been a big fan of the site for years. It’s a great way to keep track of some of the more obscure films that I like 😀

I only watched the first six episodes or so of La Brea before I gave up on it. Too much just didn’t make sense! For example, the ambulance landed miles away from the portal (how, they never explained) and was still in working order!

Zombieland was great! Great satire, too, regarding zombie flicks and they even make fun of the infinite ammo trope 😛

Forgot about I know what you did last Summer. Need to fix that!

Speaking of British shows, I need to watch Benny Hill again. That was fun! In fact, there are lots of British shows I need to watch. 😛

The science fiction shows they produce are always fabulous, as well. Canada also has a good selection of science fiction. 🙂

Watched A Christmas Story the other day and it was okay but not exactly my cup of tea. Found it a bit slow moving

[Spastic Hamburger]

The style pack was just updated to allow the full editor in bbPress directly. May be worth looking at that setting 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yep! 😀

I usually go west since there are a lot fewer people 😛

In terms of quality, I think the East coast has better quality personally. 🙂

The one I went to the other day had interesting facilities. They hadn’t yet rebuilt it from the hurricane a few months ago so the facilities were still in the marshlands, upside down. Pretty hard to use them 😛

As a result, the beach was empty of buildings! Was quite nice 🙂

Yay! 😀 Sometimes get similar things when I need to work with Microsoft’s software (including Windows). After almost 40 years, you’d think they’d have it figured out by now!

I miss hidden secrets in games where you had to perform a very specific set of tasks in order to unlock them. For example: in Super Smash Brothers Melee, you had to finish the adventure course with a certain digit on the clock to unlock Luigi. In Dungeon Siege, you had to have a specific weapon at a certain point in the game to unlock the chicken room. Those were a lot of fun!

I think what we did was turn off the previous plugin in most places but I’m not entirely sure.

Yeah, I think it’s a side-effect of how they function. Granted, I don’t know a whole lot about server stuff 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Could be that the caching only affects the index? I think the previous plugin we used had the same behavior

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sorry, missed the other post.

Yuck. Preserving post history is rather important. I wonder what their rationale was?

Yep, still able to go to oldsite via the link at the top 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Could be. The post history is properly showing on the index now.

Yeah, I also get the issue where I need to hit refresh for it to properly show as logged in quite a bit.

What all should go in the thread?

[Spastic Hamburger]

😀

Sounds good! I may be getting a sub to Nature or Science for my birthday, which would be nice as well. 🙂

Yeah, I miss the RSS days. Now it’s too hard to keep up with everything! I’m finding that it’s much easier to follow print than it is to follow the sites. Most stuff on the sites now is too abbreviated for my liking. They used to be a lot more detailed!

Went to the beach the other day to some sightseeing and some industrious fellow decided to build the Giza pyramid complex out of sand, outbuildings and all. You could see where they had started the excavation for the Sphinx but they didn’t get it built. Quite impressive! Really wish I had taken a picture of it. I’m bad about not getting pictures of things 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Making some progress on modernizing things. Got a few structure decks the other day but I haven’t really had much opportunity to look through things and determine which singles I need. Still haven’t come up with an organizational standard yet, either 😛

Been playing Blackwings online in Master Duel and they’re quite fun! I try to pull out Full Armor Master early to provide protection while I’m sorting through the opponent’s play style to decide on my next move. If they’re using effect heavy monsters, I pull out Black-Winged Assault Dragons to create a chain reaction of damage! Each time an effect activates, they do 700 points of damage each. In some decks that rely on effect loops, the result is quite devastating! 🙂

Just got a notice from Linode that the hardware our server is on is reaching EOL so they’ll be cloning the current instance to new hardware in two weeks. Nothing we really need to do and it shouldn’t affect anything 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

BLOOP 😀

No idea! It’s amazing what the atmospheric conditions do to the sound!

And Ganymede!

Space sounds are awesome!

[Spastic Hamburger]

😀

Sounds good, we can definitely use that approach. I’ve gone ahead and copied the post into the all encompassing thread. 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I know that a lot of things are waiting for BuddyPress to update as that may break some things but is there anything else that we should look at working on in the meantime?

Noticed a strange thing this morning. The Private: General forum is listed on the index as having no topics but they’re still there when you click on it. Huh?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sorry, I misunderstood! I thought it was mainly for organizational things. 😛

Should we can this on and use that one, then?

Canned threads doesn’t sound all that appetizing 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Lovely!

And, in a similar vein, NASA released audio clips of Mars: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/?playlist=mars&item=mars-helicopter-flying&type=mars 😀
