maybe it is that program that I'm using.......a free voice recognition software that keeps driving me nuts because it keeps thinking I'm giving it an order when I'm not and then when I give it an order it fails to respond...other stuff like that too i'm sure....like the board being down.....just on edge I guess today.....
-
That's okay. I'm feeling a little low tonight so I guess I'm not my usual wonderfully chirpy self, and the board going down didn't help.
Does that software recognise 'go uninstall yourself'? ;o)
-
actaully I could make it uninstall itself.....lol...and if that didn't work I could make it start a program that would..lol...another kind of scripting/macro program..lol
-
Hehe. I think that would be an amusing little irony saved for those really annoying moments ;o)
-
haha....yep
I like this board much morethen the other one so if we get this one going then all is cool.....
I like the other board for certain reasons but at least his one doesn't go down.....
-
Yeah. Well this is a properly written universal board. Fullerene wrote the Vanessa Carlton one and basically did a piss poor job. It's also hosted on a terrible system because it can really crawl at times.
It would be interesting to see how this board performs with fifty users logged in actually. It would mainly be down to system that hosts it.
But at least they're running maintenance on the board .. it shows they don't just ignore things. They change the holding page so that it uses the same stylesheet as the rest of the site as well .. so it shows they're trying at least.
It's just an example of a basic forum that wasn't meant to cope with that kind of traffic. Essentially, forums aren't used for 'chatting' as such and it simply can't cope with the volume of posts.
Maybe they'll sort it out one day. I'm sure they could bump up the system it's hosted on and maybe sort out a bigger pipe to allow more traffic.
*mental note : stop typing .. you're getting boring and your knuckles have caught fire*

yeah well things haven't improved in months so.....hopefully it will improve....if not I'm sure I can come up with something to fix it a little..lol
like my timeline thread and the search function..oh well..enough of blowing my own horn.....
-
Nah, it's good that people put the effort in to make things a little easier for others.
-

Welcome to the Star Trek generation.
-
haha....star trek
when I get more cash I'm probably going to buy a more stable and not so annoying voice recognition software package..plus I can't type with anything I have currently..so......but knowing me I'll come up with a way to mix the programs together so I can do that for free also...lol
or learn C well enough to make my own app.
-
What do you use voice recognition for though? Is it so you don't need to type stuff up?? Sounds a bit lazy to me ;o)
(said the person who gets rsi and is currently in pain, lol)

lol...well I have it do stuff right now that is repetitive and launch programs and stuff..can't wait untill they get thought reading software :wink: then I could record my thoughts and post them....with me it would be a trip for most people because I'm really really deep. And I don't usaully say what I think because I'm...well...thinking....lol...but ugg, that kind of software would be dangerous :wink:
-
well I'm taking off now to run some errands so I'll see you later. I've been sitting on my butt all day and not getting anything done..nice talking to you and I hope someone else comes by to talk.
see you, bye.

lol
I remember on tomorrows world (program we have about inventions basically) where they showed a system someone had come up with whereby you could control the cursor with your eyes .. simply by looking at the screen and you blink your eyes to click.
The presenter woman was playing solitaire using it and it worked quite well, lol. You have to wear this thing on your head that watches your eyes. A bit freaky really :o)

Yeah. Seeya Ty.

if it makes a diff, i'd like to see 50 users here as well... i think it would be kinda fun/interesting and i suspect the box could handle it. my only concern is the 'forum chatting' -- it seems one of fullerene's best means of resolving their 'server' problems would be to setup a chat server or something better designed for chatting. everyone one of those forum entries into a database row is a lot of the problem. then to try to search through those rows? oy... plus a horribly coded board? i wouldn't wish that nightmare on a hated sys admin.
