Geesh -- we have moved more times than a Brobeck attorney in March. Good to be here. Exactly how is this format different? Looks pretty similar to me.

It has cookies so you can easily find the last posts you read. Has more dynamic stuff on the backend which makes it possible to use web links and other things.

A lot is different on the backend in terms of stability, ease of running that sort of a thing.

In a few months?weeks? Not sure, there will be an upgrade, which has an index.

It all looks pretty cool to me.

According to the SF Chronicle, a New Mexico prosecutor was fired for pointing out under-cover police officers to fellow antiwar protesters:

Hard to imagine this happening in SF (someone in Hallinan's office firing her, not the rest of the story).

Critical Mass figures to be especially raucous tonight:

Might be a good evening to leave downtown early. Or stay late, drinking. Unless you like that sort of thing.

Jeez, I just unpacked. This time I'm leaving everything in the boxes and eating off of paper plates until 3 months have passed. I miss the x-rated emoticons, but I like the look, good work people!

Thanks deuced, I couldn't figure out how to transfer my old monkey avatar, and I've always been a sucker for Calvin & Hobbes. What happened to that cartoonist (bill watterson?)--he just up and quit like Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County). Must be nice to be extremely wealthy and completely anonymous.....

Hope you got out of dodge unscathed, and are now enjoying a well-deserved margarita...

"Mother Hen" eh? That's unacceptably modest, Ms. Deuced. You can do better than that.

And since when have kangaroos made clucking noises? Or have chickens evolved into marsupials?

Thank you for your thoughts. I will be sure to incorporate your very helpful criticism into my cyber identity.

Click on this link, and when it opens, copy the full link for the page the image is on.http://media.hingis.org/photos/avata...ma_nibbler.gif

Go to USER CP, EDIT OPTIONS.

Scroll down to the bottom and where it gives you an opportunity to put a link in for an avatar, paste the link you copied.

That will upload the avatar to our server and attach it to your name.

Jesus, you rock. How you manage keep things running, have a real job and still find time to help lowlifes like me feel comfortable, I'll never know, but I gladly appreciate it. Thanks! The monkey is back!

c2d, unfortunately, Hobbes has to go, the monkey is more "me". Actually, a .gif of Timmy from South Park is more me, but that's splitting hairs.

Have a great day all.

Sheesh, I go away for a few days and we move again? From now on, I'm staying put.

Oh well... the monkey is cute, too. And happier than the pensive Hobbes. Always good to have someone around to bring up the morale in the office.
