Step up and give it the worthwhile check and get a thumb! Get em while their hot! 😀

Its a cheap way to get #30 but I’ll take it 😉

Works for me! :D

In reply to Done

B-)

I’m on a protest strike

In reply to Works for me! :D

No more thumbs up from me.

Sorry, but I have a chip on my shoulder.

Must be a fragment from my C6 vertebrae. :^0

You always were

In reply to I’m on a protest strike

a bit of a cryass, weren’t you? :p

How you healing up?

being a cryass

In reply to You always were

at least i didn’t make a blog out of my injury for attention and pity :p :^0 (don’t mess with me…i got even more bitter since my injury/painkiller withdrawls 😉 )

Okay. I’m back at the office now. My neck is hurting, but they said it could for up to 12 months. Can’t come to KY for the event since I used up all my vacation/sick leave while in the hospital.

I am currently fathoming pulling a deal on the banks, consolidating all of my home debt into one note, then short selling the house and leaving the new note holder with nothing to show.

I am really sick of things, and I don’t care if my credit goes in the crapper for whatever reason. I can stay at my job another year, rent a local non-sold spec home for half the money, be closer to work, and can move whenever i want.

My credit will rebound in 12 months because I’ll have an extra $9k a year in the bank and will turn around things bought on cards in 1-3 months and show payment ability.

I am just really down still owning the house, but that’s because I saw a job I would like to have gotten with a city government in NC and can’t because I can’t sell the house in no time flat.

Oh well, that’s life…I guess.

Sounds like you are having a relaps

In reply to being a cryass

“sorry, my back hurts to much” (next friday as you are halfway to KY)….

😀

Then again, I at least am sharing the ride, so that will lower expenses and share the driving.

Still only working part-time, so saving where I can is a must.

Leaving Thursday after work and heading back Sunday. While I am not bouncing as much as GG (NO ONE is), this is still going to be cool. A shame you, Mae, and Jessie can’t make it. Imagine if we could have also pulled in Jaqui? oh my…. Kentucky would never be the same! 😀

if i came

In reply to Sounds like you are having a relaps

I’d probably end up tucked in a corner with Sonja, GG, and Shellbot drinking in half-lighted accommodations.

I’m not a big social beast…not at least til after the 5th or 6th margarita. :^0

Yeah, I can’t make it. No paid leave now. I borrowed $1ks to pay medical expense (btw…out of pocket insurance maximums? crock of $hit…almost paid double mine since April).

but hey…I have two new shiny titanium rods in my neck now…I can set off metal detectors now without my gun or knife!!!!! :^0

I wonder

In reply to Sounds like you are having a relaps

what the resale value of titanium is….. ;\

Make sure to leave THAT in your will! 😀

TItanium rods and such are a crematorium workers perks

In reply to Sounds like you are having a relaps

Is that a word you guys use?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7941646.stm

Titanium is worth around 20USD/lb so, unless you’re carrying around more than a kilo or so…

😀

OK JD, I did it for Sonia, not you

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

or the thumb, have fun.

All part of public awareness

In reply to OK JD, I did it for Sonia, not you

I ALWAYS give Soni the worthwhile mark. B-)

So just consider this a part of public awareness. If more people are aware of the check box, more will select it? ;\

(starting with me, of course….. )

i dunno…

In reply to All part of public awareness

but i’ve resolved more than a few problems since i decided to start helpin and i’m still the lonely “one”

hush my mouth….

In reply to i dunno…

finally got 2

Ah, the ungrateful little………

In reply to i dunno…

😀

Used to be much worse when it was “Tech points” instead of thumbs up, because newbees didn’t realize they GOT points for awarding points. Used to be about 75% of all questions went unrated. :0

I think

In reply to Ah, the ungrateful little………

the M$ forums do that??? I seem to remember one of the sites I am a member of I get a point for marking things… maybe it is the ASP.NET forum… hmmm… either way that and $5 will get you a latte at Starbucks. The points don’t seem to be good for much.

B-)

I always give the thumb for TROLOV.

In reply to All part of public awareness

And Member Spotlights. 😀

And that is exactly why you don’t count Boxy

In reply to I always give the thumb for TROLOV.

JD here is after people who don’t normally vote for TROL-OV not the regulars who do. :p

Yep you are correct Davette your counting and maths is a very difficult thing to try to follow. :^0

I voted Friday ya know

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

I always vote before I watch (while the Ad is running). I’ll take a thumb “to go” though cause I’m just that low…….

Ad is running?

In reply to I voted Friday ya know

You see an ad?

Between using FF3 and Adblock, I don’t see it.

When they started throwing all the video ads on normal pages, it was bad enough. When they started ads that made sound on their own, I had to kill them.

One Thumb, coming up! 😀

Gawd I’m cheap

In reply to Ad is running?

And easy. Thumbalina hore

cheap and easy

In reply to Gawd I’m cheap

is greatly under rated! ]:)

Ditto that.

In reply to I voted Friday ya know

I have to open Opera to even get the video. Which means I have to sit through the damn ad. FF with noscript and AdBlock Plus blocks everything. Including the video. 🙁

it is noscript

In reply to Ditto that.

and you can put in exceptions, ya know. I have noscripts AND adblock on this system and they vid runs just fine.

Screw it.

In reply to it is noscript

Doesn’t kill me to pop up Opera once a week. 😀

I gave up on Opera a long time ago

In reply to Screw it.

there were just to many pages that it didn’t display correctly, so i would have to switch over to FF anyways….

I just use it to watch TROLOV.

In reply to I gave up on Opera a long time ago

And only on my desktop, where I’ve configured noscript and AdBlock to block everything I can figure out how to block. Get tired of all the crap that comes with this ‘Internet’ thing.

Don’t give me a thumb for this!

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

I wonder if the old “reverse psychology” fooled him into giving me a thumb.

🙂

Probably…

You’re not the boss of me!

In reply to Don’t give me a thumb for this!

😀

It worked! I have another thumb!

In reply to You’re not the boss of me!

But, somehow, I feel unclean. It was not earned.

:_|

But I suppose that it makes up for the number of ungrateful scrotes that I have helped in the past without acknowledgement.

:^0

Hmm, I an slightly ambivalent, here…

😐

just need one more

In reply to It worked! I have another thumb!

after all, 68 just doesn’t have the same ring to it….. :p

I’ve answered your backup question

In reply to just need one more

Might be I’ve actually *earned* one…

🙂

Yeah

In reply to I’ve answered your backup question

but now that you are at 69, I can’t bring myself to give you another one! :p

You like

In reply to Yeah

handing out that 69th thumb, don’t you? Never mind the sex of the recipient. ]:)

So did I……. :) (NT)

In reply to I’ve answered your backup question

no, seriously.

No Text.

GG

Always…

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

I mark TROLOV worthwhile every week. 🙂

One more “worthwhile”. NT

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

Yep

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

I always mark them as Worthwhile along with anything else that gets posted that is deserving of a Thumb. At one stage when the site was playing up you could click on Worthwhile a few times and you could give 3 Thumbs. You can normally logon to another System and give another Thumb by clicking Worthwhile.

Yup

In reply to Yep

I did it Friday, and on another system today — only cause of the plea and begging.

I might even

In reply to Yup

fire up a couple of old Systems and logon to add a couple more. 23 at the moment, I’ll head for the shed.

Funny, I tried from a 3rd system, and it wont let me

In reply to I might even

I guess JD only gets 2 from me

Same here

In reply to Funny, I tried from a 3rd system, and it wont let me

so I tried to log on with my other account to mark it as Worthwhile and it redirects to the Jacky Howe account. The people name search isn’t working either.

so it’s not a cookie thing???

In reply to Same here

Clearing Cookies doesn’t reset it?? It’s profile specific on the site, and not the local system. Interesting..

I used a System

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

that has never been connected to TR and was able to logon to my second account. I went back to another System and deleted everything from IE and was able to connect. I think that the save the automatic logon was interfering. I could only give one Worthwhile for a Thumb though. I did manage to get it to 24.

I think it is more IP dependent

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

than profile.

Not sure, but you may be onto something

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

I did it from home on 1 machine and at work on 1 machine. I tried a second system at work and it wouldnt let me. I am now trying a second from home, through a vpn (different IP).

Nope! interesting — I think it may be profile specific now. More interesting, my other account (shows as that account logged in) cannot either???
Hmmm — this requires some fiddling when I have more time

if that “other” account can’t

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

it HAS to be looking at your IP.

I did twice from home and once from work.

problem is

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

using the vpn I get a totally different IP than being plugged in at work.

interesting

In reply to so it’s not a cookie thing???

So it cant be from IP, as I opened IE and logged in as the other account, and was able to add #32.

What a twisted set of results I am seeing from here.

As well you know

In reply to Yup

I have no pride, and will plead and beg for what I want if that is what it takes! 😀

Seem to be a few site issues at the moment JD.

In reply to As well you know

When I originally Marked TROL Useful I gave it 2 Thumbs because the first one didn’t appear to do anything but when I clicked the second time when the page redrew the count had gone up by 2.

Then after the weekly clean of the system when I looked Monday I was prompted to vote again so at the moment I think you’ll find that there are issues on the site that are causing some problems.

Though now the count is up to 28. :0

Col 0:-)

You are just a begger these days

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

aintcha?

ok, you got it, only because I feel pity for the beggin

Ahahahahaha!

In reply to You are just a begger these days

Your presence will be sorely missed at the big shindig. You and JD play off each other so well that I figure only half of you is going to be there…
😀 😀 😀

Yea but which Half

In reply to Ahahahahaha!

The Top or Bottom? :0

Or the Left or Right? :p

But Boxy Half a JD and Half a Scummy will not make an entire person in anyones book. 😉

I dont wanna be cut in half anyway

In reply to Yea but which Half

it just sounds a bit painful.

Hmmm, can my head be cut off and put on Benders body? That may be interesting though. Just think of the troubles I could escape 😀

Did Scummy really say

In reply to I dont wanna be cut in half anyway

he wanted to give some head to Bender? :0

Looks to me

In reply to Did Scummy really say

Yes he most certainly did say that. NT

Up to 25 thumbs

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

a good start, was at 16 when I started this “question”. 😀

Would be sweet if we could have hit 40. ;\

to bypass Bill, you will need more than 250

In reply to Up to 25 thumbs

else this will be in vain anyway

he got 250 in a single blog?

In reply to to bypass Bill, you will need more than 250

which one? link?

Ok, I dont know for sure — edited

In reply to he got 250 in a single blog?

I was setting your expectations through the roof.

I think he got over 100 on the password crack one, that keeps popping back up every few months.

http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=639

yep, quite a bit over 100

122? I don’t see this happening

In reply to Ok, I dont know for sure — edited

looks like dill betwiler is going to remain the worth while thumb king….. 🙁

Keep the faith

In reply to 122? I don’t see this happening

One thing I am waiting to see is, when I started marking them this morning there were 29. I clicked it 7 more times and it is only reading 32? WTF?! How long does it take to catch up? Will it catch up?

I see 32 as well

In reply to Keep the faith

so I think they have been trying to program in to keep people from gaming the system like this. 😀

I know it was easy on the zdnet site, as I gave myself at least 10 thumbs up for my “day in the life of a laid tech”… B-)

By IP address maybe?

In reply to Keep the faith

Maybe you get one vote per IP address?

If that be the case it’s rigged. We only have maybe 2 IP’s out. What if there are 100 TR members here. Do we only get one vote? Are my other 7 votes hanging chads? 😀

But I saw 37 when I last looked. :(

In reply to Keep the faith

What am I doing wrong? 😀

OK JD :0

In reply to Keep the faith

TR is getting at you now.

Earlier today TROL was showing 37 Votes/Thumbs and now it’s showing 34. I think that the PTB @ TR are in the process of getting at you. 😀

perhaps when I wake up tomorrow it will be down to 8. :p

Col 0:-)

If so, then

In reply to Keep the faith

why hasnt your count been dropped to 333 yet???

Easy answer here Scummy is

In reply to Keep the faith

That it’s just to hard so the PTB at TR have left things alone so that the Number can increase to 667 which they have today. :p

But just for you look here :^0

Notice the high Visibility URL? 😀

Col 0:-)

I can add one,

In reply to Up to 25 thumbs

possibly two, from campus tomorrow. 😀

But BUT BUT JD :(

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

I already gave a Thumb to TROL OV before I saw this so I don’t count do I?. 😀

I feel like I’m from Chicago or something 😉

In reply to SWEET!

It still only says 29 even when I votes from a different computer… ?:|

I’ve noticed

In reply to hmmm… you know whats weird though?

that sometimes it takes a few to update the count.

When I got back to base I found one of her pens in my pocket. :0

Question, flying east to get here vs flying west, do you gain a day one way and lose one the other? :0

an hour to go…

In reply to And with time changes

eh, kinda..leave my house on 25th at 9am, and will arrive KY at 7pm..so don’t gain, but i get back a few hours i guess..

on way back, ya, i lose..leave sunday afternoon and arrive monday morning..so feels like losing a day

gaining/losing a day

In reply to And with time changes

You used to be able to do it on the concorde.

Flights from NYC/Boston/Newark take about 6 hours to get to Dublin…about 7 to London.

Since it’s 4 time zones, you can’t make up hours.

In conventional airplanes, the only way to do that is crossing the international date line.

JD you are on the wrong side of the country

In reply to And with time changes

Heading the wrong way, If you fly to AU you loose a Day as you leave on a Monday and arrive on a Wednesday if you leave at the wrong time.
Similerally if you leave AU on a Monday you arrive on Sunday when you hit the US.

The International Date Line is West of the US not east but I would love to see Boxy’s & Shelly’s description of this. :^0

But I don’t know if my brain could follow the [i]logic[/i] of those two. :0

I feel so guilty

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

Up to 27 votes now.

I can’t see the video (damn websense at work) and for some reason the transcript seems to be screwed.

All I get is:

“Sonja Thompson: Oh, my gosh! There’s only two weeks to go until the TechRepublic Community Event in Louisville, KY! After months of planning and waiting — and then some MORE waiting — it’s almost here. And I’ve actually got some really exciting news to share with you all about the event later on in the show.

I’m Sonja Thompson, a senior editor for TechRepublic, and this is TROLOV …

… for participating in the show. These members, of course, are eligible for some free swag.

And if YOU’D like to receive some TR goodies, all you have to do is send me a Question of the Week, a comment about the show, a photo, or a small original video clip to trol@techrepublic.com.

I’m Sonja Thompson, and this is TR Out Loud.”

So here I am, prostituting my votes for thumbs.

I

No that is correct

In reply to I feel so guilty

There is no transcript of the person presenting the Video. Sonja told a lie last week when she claimed to have prerecorded the TROLOV for the 12-6-09 or as the Yanks say 6-12-09. 😀

Someone else did the bulk of the Video with Sonja only doing the Intro and finish. You’ll have to wait to see who did the remainder of the Video. 😀

In reply to No that is correct

He’s there now

In reply to Going to retire this account soon?

You have an opportunity in this thread to put him over. I also found an old question thread of mine he responded to. Hmmm…

I did that before

In reply to He’s there now

when he got that “other” account to 666 and Sonja put a bounty on his head.

I went back a year and found one, linked to it, and told them to start the bidding! 😀

I can’t bring myself to be the one to do it, though, just like I can’t give Neil any more thumbs so he can still get 69….. B-)

I think once I reach 69

In reply to I did that before

I may retire this account to. 😉

Retire it to?

In reply to I think once I reach 69

OK then how did that happen???

In reply to No that is correct

Look every one I’m a real person now I have 666 Thumbs.

That is 333 Thumb-less people running around the world. :^0

Actually JD I don’t really care any more and I notice that this account didn’t take all that long to get this number. 😀

Aw man

In reply to I feel so guilty

the transcript is a fake.

😀

I also cannot view

In reply to I feel so guilty

due to WebSense. I keep meaning to watch at home, but I was able to listen to the audio. I did mark the audio worthwhile, tho.

One thing I actually like about the WebSense, it blocks the ads. I miss that at home.

Websense

In reply to I also cannot view

I have the same problem with the videos also because of websense.

Still gave it a mark worthwhile

blocking ads

In reply to I also cannot view

I use FF with Adblock on my laptop and I get zero ads.

I wasn’t even aware they had an ad play before the trolov.

on my home system I also run scriptblock, and just put in an exception to allow the trolov.

I think they filter this out

In reply to Speaking of TROLOV…

As this is not the first time I have given thumbs out. Did it with my last recipe request question.

I think they have programmed in an “ignore JD” module…. 😀

WTF, I’ll take it. :^0

HOOR!

But then… we can’t all be prefect.

And yes, I gave it a worthwhile too.

Done

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

It’s up to 35 worthwhile votes!

Missing the fun…

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

Have actual deadlines so can’t “hang out”. But I’ll drop by for a thumb – already gave my approval when TROLOV first viewed, but it sounds like I might be able to add a few more based on others posts. 😉

I vote Granbot too.
One diet coke on the rocks and back to the grindstone.

Too Late

In reply to Missing the fun…

Granbot is already in effect, your vote does not count :^0

Can’t deter me. . .

In reply to Too Late

I still did my civic duty. B-)

No thumb when you’re mean! ]:) [nt]

I am never mean!!!

In reply to No thumb when you’re mean! ]:) [nt]

it was just not what you wanted to hear. That goes for all remarks that I make to everyone. I am NEVER mean, I always try to help, be it outta this life, off this board, outta the conversation, or whatever else — it is all just trying to be helpful!

I guess I am just misunderstood 🙁

Methinks…

In reply to I am never mean!!!

…thou dost protest too much! 😉

But we love you anyway.

Please KSoniat :-q

In reply to Methinks…

Don’t encourage Scummy if we ignore him perhaps he will go away just like W2K did. 😉

Telling him that you love him just has the opposite effect and makes him return way too often. :0

Right at the moment we are trying to Clean Up TR and Scummy is the number one cause of complaints. 😉

Don’t be fooled. . .

In reply to Please KSoniat :-q

There is more than one way to “smother” someone.

You have your way – I have mine! 😉

Watch out, you may just

In reply to Please KSoniat :-q

get your wish
then again, maybe I like coming here just to bug the cr@p outta you ?:|

Bug away!

In reply to Please KSoniat :-q

Now where is that fly swatter? 😀

:0 — I feel so abused :(

In reply to Please KSoniat :-q

a bug ?:| 🙁

Ok, I’ll need to remember this for a future assault

Scummy – They are YOUR words!!

In reply to Please KSoniat :-q

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. Splat!!!

So Helpful Scummy One

In reply to I am never mean!!!

Did you tell JD about the 200 + Helpful Marks to one of the most recent one of Bill Detwiler’s Blogs? The one about removing Hidden Drivers from Vista and XP. :0

I’m betting that you enjoyed telling JD about that right? :^0

[i]Edited to add[/i] No I haven’t misunderstood you at all you Scummy One. :p

Col 0:-)

I mentioned some 200

In reply to So Helpful Scummy One

but didnt feel like looking for it, so I decided to downplay it a bit, and set his goal lower to crush him later.

And this would be….

In reply to I mentioned some 200

another example of you NOT being mean?

I suppose you could be crushing him NOW. 😉

Nope — not mean at all

In reply to I mentioned some 200

a lesson in reality :^0

besides, HAL brought it up, not me, so HAL is at fault (and he states he is nice)

Scummy I don’t know how to break this to you

In reply to I mentioned some 200

But Hal hasn’t posted here. :p

I believe that he is scared of JD and doesn’t post anymore. 😉

Didn’t I ialready pan this film?

In reply to Thumbs for making “worth while”

This is just another example of a studio “marketing” the film to the Academy in a shameless attempt to garner more votes at Oscar time. The nerve!!!

P.S. I wish I was able to attend the event in Louisville. Have fun all! (Imagine meeting GG, jd, Palmetto, et al. What a blast!)

I thought you said you could make it?

In reply to Didn’t I ialready pan this film?

Was really looking foreword to your attendance.

Add to that hearing GG talk about Danger Mouse and the glow would have been priceless!

No…

In reply to I thought you said you could make it?

What would be priceless is witnessing the glow first hand when GG gets to talking. 😉

Would have been one of the high lights of the weekend

In reply to No…

🙁

Now we need to think of something else that will keep GranBot distracted. Maybe if I drop a bunch of glitter, having something shiny will keep her busy for a while…… 😀

Now we need to re-read your

In reply to Would have been one of the high lights of the weekend

post on shiny and distractions — that was hilarious.

No that isn’t necessary JD

In reply to Would have been one of the high lights of the weekend

Just tell the Old Dear that Mae has misplaced her favorite Shovel and she’ll spend the entire time there looking for it. This is just practice for her running around after all the Grand Kids looking for what they dropped and can not find now. 😀

She may even get her Walking Frame up to 1 mile per hour in her search. So you’ll need to warn the others to keep a watch out to prevent getting run over by a Blind, out of Control GranBot. :-bd
