The bar is OPEN!!!

I'll hoist one or... six. Maybe he got a deer today. Yesterday he saw six, still out of range. :) His dad shot one Thursday afternoon. Don't know much more about that one.

You having any luck?

We can't hunt yet- want to give the bow hunters a chance at game. Small game is open and the partner is going for partridge in about a week. I don't see well enough for small game any more so I will likely stay at home.

We are planning a trip to the north for my birthday next Sunday- staying the weekend and enjoying some time together. Been kind of rare so we are looking forward to it.

Let me know how the son-in did! Hopefully he has some fresh venison to tell you about!

TR in it's old incarnation will always have a place in my heart- for the people and the staff...

When I started training for the breast cancer 3 Day, I didn't think for a moment that we as a community could do what we all accomplished- over 70 members changed their avatars during my 60 mile walk.

This is Breast Cancer Awareness month- and people are holding on to their pink ribbons in support- I see them everywhere.

You people here are the reason I keep coming back. You have such an unselfishness about you. And you want to give.

So many of the TR staff changed their avatars... I was just overwhelmed. I will wear all of you on the 2007 walk and know that you will support me again.

I will miss the "old" look and feel. But I know how hard they have worked to improve the site and can only applaud their efforts.

I am proud to be a part of this community.

I forgot. Delta speed delta! :)

We haven't run out of pink ribbons... and you're FAST!

PM me an address- I have a ribbon with your Mom's name on it. And have another made for next year. But you should have this one.

I want a pink ribbon emoticon!

Since you opened the bar, I'm assuming the drinks are on you? ;\

Sam Adams Oktoberfest & two fingers of Glenmorangie, please. :D

I'll miss the old format :( but so far I like the looks of the new one.

I was bored sh*tless sitting in a motel room with the cable out. After about 20 minutes, I figured out "No deal." Was so glad when the cable came back on; I'd almost missed Modern Marvels.

I once had a favorite bar that I frequented often. It was a real "Cheers" type bar, if you know what I mean. They closed for a while to remodel -- actually to redesign. After they reopened, the feel was different, the ambiance was different, but more importantly the people and the camaraderie was all different. The new customers just weren't my type, and their demeanor and behavior just wasn't my style. It wasn't too long before I just quit going.

I've been coming to this bar (the TR bar) for a long time. I used to restrict myself to the "tech" section of the bar, never even venturing into the other sections. Heck, I was even the "top-tech" on the Q&A list for a while. But it got old, and I grew tired of it. Eventually, I quit going to that section entirely, and I then restricted myself to the "non-tech" section. I guess everything gets old after a while -- even your favorite bar.

And now, I'm beginning to ask myself why I keep coming back to this bar at all. What have I really accomplished that means anything? But more importantly, and this is what really gets me, what could I have accomplished if I had spent the same amount of time and energy in another direction?

You made us think. Whether or not we agreed on the subject under discussion, you made us think.

That's a good thing to take home with you.

But before you leave, have a beer on us.

Here it is, one am, and just getting ready to crash for the night. Been up getting packed to leave in the morning.

Taking the boys bow hunting up by Rose City/Mio area for the weekend. They are as geeked as I am.

Will see if I can find an access point tomorrow night, otherwise I have to wait all the way until Sunday night.

Getting a bit of nervious twitch just thinking about it.....

See you on the other side!

Look and feel is WAY different... and oddly the same. Everythng is lighter and brighter here.

EXCELLENT!!!

Poked my head in for a sec at around 1:00 CDT and could see some of the changes. It's looking good guys!

Congratulations!

The one and only part of TR that I didn't like is the how the Forum software works. I prefer a proper UBBThreads/phpBB type of forum arrangement, instead of how TR's Forums look.

Other than that, I like the new-look TR.

Okay, the eye was a tad on the "skeery" side... but the constant motion of your newest is strange and bizarre.

What happened? Did the karma catch up with you? One too many beers?

And where do you get the energy for all that flip-flopping???

Very strange!

The openSuse page recommends Pentium or better, 256 MB RAM, and 2.5 GB for a full install. http://tinyurl.com/hdvbn

I prefer FreeBSD 3.1 (386, 128MB, 100 MB for command line), but my last spare PC blew the power supply two years ago, so I'm out of both luck and practice. Only just got a spare again last month, but haven't taken the time to play.

The preview tour didn't give you that good a look at it. I like it too.

The only problem I am having is learning to navigate. But time and use will correct that.

I miss seeing threads that have been responded to at the top of the page. I really miss being able to see a "followed link" colour change. That will take some getting used to as well.

Overall, except for the spell checker, I think that they have a reasonably intuitive design and it appears to be easy to learn.

I need to set about trying to break it now- and get some doco written. I have a feeling that it may come in handy.

Monday will be VERY interesting...

for the WTF thread too? :)

It's a pity I'm back to work Monday. I could have soooo much fund trolling that thread. ]:)

I hadn't been aware that the image was superimposed. But I never saw that in Jaqui's either.

It has been an interesting day. We got the ceiling in the office painted- doing the walls tomorrow- and all the other prep work done. I have been trying to get in here when I can but my actual timeonline has been spotty.

Now that you can see your contacts on-line, I should probably get in the habit of at least closing the browser when I am not in front of the keyboard.

Incidentally... I know that you just installed SuSE on one of your boxes. Which mag dod you get the disk from and what are the base specs? I have a spare that I want to put a Linux distro on but don't know where to start. Appreciate any direction that you can give me.

Don't like the new site at all
This type of Forum Layout is very annoying to read. A Forum like a PHPBB or Dslreports.com
is much more functional.
The tech points although useless gave users that were commited to helping others some
recognition for their hard work.
It's just Blah
