Blah blah blah, upgrades, blah blah blah, commenting, blah blah blah … wait, did he say “clitoris?”

Yup, this website’s got a magic button / Seth Freilich

Miscellaneous | March 9, 2009 | Comments (123)

Some of you might have noticed that we had commenting shut off for most of today (Sunday). Rumor has it that this was because some of the Pajiba staff were tired of hearing your inane ramblings.

I can neither confirm nor deny this rumor.

But I can say that, regardless of the rumor’s veracity or lack thereof, we also had comments shut off because we were underneath the Pajiba hood, trying to figure out where all these damned hoses go, what those funky fan-looking things do and what, exactly, it takes to engorge Pajiba’s clit (answer: two bottles of Grey Goose, vanilla-scented candles and sweet, sweet nothings).

“Blah blah blah,” you says, “why the hell do I care about website maintenance bullshit?”

Well, you should care because I think we’ve made life a bit more lovely for the Eloquents. Aside from the comments being a little different visually (to the better, we think), you’ll be happy to know that clicking on “remember me” actually works now. And there’s no more separate preview page (you can get a live preview of your comment as you type it, including your HTML tags), which has the added benefit of (hopefully) eliminating double-posted comments. But best of all, comment posting is scads faster. Still slower than any of us would prefer, perhaps, but you won’t have to go get a cup of coffee while waiting for your comment to post.

If you notice anything glitchy, with comments or links or anything else, let us know. Otherwise, keep on keeping on….

Comments

For those paying close attention over the last hour and a half, yes, I'm aware of the irony that comments weren't working. Now they work. Suck it.

Posted by: Seth at March 9, 2009 12:21 AM

I love you, Pajiba, for making my sunday infinitely more productive by closing down for maintenance. I managed to do all my laundry!

Posted by: popejenn at March 9, 2009 12:21 AM

Oooohhh!!!!! New stuff! Sadly the speed of my comments (no matter how quickly I shoot them out) will remain damn slow. No fault of Pajiba, just my net provider! Six of one, half a dozen of a next.

Posted by: Four Eyes at March 9, 2009 12:24 AM

Ahhh, that's the spot. I was getting the shakes, man. Had to get my sweet sweet Pajiba relief. Weird Preview system now. I feel like I ought to be trying to beat it. I think I can type fast enough to beat it but it's just mirroring everything I say casting my every thought into sharp relief in that endless plane of white. I have made a powerful enemy today.

Is everyone else seeing comments posted as alternately bold and not bold?

Am I tripping typographical balls?

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 9, 2009 12:46 AM

SWEET.

Nah, JakesAlterEgo. It's just for easier reading. I imagine some of those theses-masking-as-comments will have some pretty big blocks, and will be easier to ignore ;)

I like it! Purdy.

Posted by: figgy at March 9, 2009 12:54 AM

Damn. Looks like I'm gonna have to turn off my NoScript to post. That means seeing all the ads. Hmm. Ah well.

OK the preview thing is kinda creepy. SOMETHING IS TYPING WITH ME!

Posted by: figgy at March 9, 2009 12:55 AM

JakesAlterEgo - they shouldn't be showing up alternately bold and not bold. Every other entry should have a gray background. What browser are you using?

figgy - the comment form uses scripting for the creepy preview, but you should still be able to post with NoScript, I think. But you shouldn't have NoScript on when you're on our site anyways. Support the cause!

Posted by: Seth at March 9, 2009 12:59 AM

ahhhhh....
finally, no more squinting to see the end of one comment and the beginning of another.

Posted by: Cpt. Murphy at March 9, 2009 1:01 AM

You're right! I will support the cause! Pajiba victor!

And wow, it feels really nice to not have to type my name and email every time.

Yes, I AM that lazy.

Posted by: figgy at March 9, 2009 1:09 AM

YAY! No more thinking my browser's crashed! Ooh and the preview thing is futuristic.

Posted by: puppetDoug at March 9, 2009 1:12 AM

Under the hood? BWAHAHAHAHA

So I guess Pajiba means the man in the boat?

Posted by: Withnail at March 9, 2009 1:18 AM

I'm using the new Safari beta. They are definitely all alternating bold/not bold. Grey is nowhere to be found.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 9, 2009 1:47 AM

This is the best news I've received since I got the results of my STD test! Now I get to be reminded daily of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, and that typing game where Mario is being chased by a shark, and you can never get away because no matter how fast you type THE SHARK SWIMS JUST AS FAST, and that one time in typing class when I peed my pants and my teacher pretended to spill her Sprite on me. I probably shouldn't have admitted that. I blame my "new format smell" high.

Posted by: Sabrina at March 9, 2009 1:47 AM

No good will come of this...this will only encourage people to post grammatically, syntactically, and code-correct posts!

Who would want to live in such a world? A world where you can't mock someone for typing too fast?

This marks the end, I tell you...the end of us all...

My God...the words...the words are appearing! I can see my misspelled words and correct them! Stop it! Stop this dark magic!

Posted by: Vermillion at March 9, 2009 1:48 AM

It automatically jumps to your comment after you've posted too? Be still, my beating heart, for now I can die happy. Of a heart attack.

Posted by: Sabrina at March 9, 2009 1:49 AM

Just testing it out. Looks good so far!

Posted by: AudioSuede at March 9, 2009 1:49 AM

And what happens when the spambots come, huh? Now you just made it easier for them to cast their evil tall black man interested in mingling with celebrities powers!

Gahhhh! My information is still in the boxes! IT REMEMBERS MEEEEEEE!!!!!!

GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

*runs and hides from the terror*

Posted by: Vermillion at March 9, 2009 1:53 AM

These are some nice touches Seth, but things are still a little glitchy. Some posts have unnecessarily big fonts in the wrong places. I really appreciate the new preview feature, though.

Posted by: George at March 9, 2009 2:06 AM

Ohhhhh Pretty, It's like looking into the future... but its not the Future!

Whoa. It works now. Thanks mystery-Pajiba people.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 9, 2009 2:20 AM

Working in Chrome, Safari & IE, but display is kinda wonky in Firefox, Seth. I can't check Opera right now because I don't have it on this laptop. Anybody else using Opera? How do things look for you?

This preview thing IS spooky, I'll give you that...Spooooky...

Is anyone just typing words for the sake of seeing them fill in automatically, like shouting 'Echo' into a canyon?
'Echooooooooooooooooo'
Tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyppppppppiiiingg

Man I could do this all day...Lesmatrolixx
That's a word I just made up. Means cyber Lesbian hang out. The Lesmatrlixx. Where Maternal Lesbians go and hang out with one another, online, secretly plotting the overthrow of the evi Matrixical government entity known as 'Daddy'
Seriously, I cant stop. I'm typing for Typing's sake...help me help me help me help me...

*a greater force intervened at this point, by removing Nadine and hitting 'Post'...hey this typing thing is sort of fun! It Fills in as you type!

Posted by: Nadine at March 9, 2009 4:50 AM

It sucks.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 9, 2009 5:23 AM

I'm sure it'll be lovely once I'm used to it, but right now the different typefaces/fonts whatever are giving me a migraine...

Oh but I like the preview thing. Weird though it is.

Posted by: Carrie at March 9, 2009 5:38 AM

Having read up I see I'm not supposed to see it as I see it. Hmm, guess Firefox is shoddy.

Posted by: Carrie at March 9, 2009 5:54 AM

Carrie, I have firefox and I see it okay =S mebbe refresh the page a couple of times?
Or...delete cookies? I dont know why you'd want to delete cookies, they're delicious..but thats what the voices tell me to do

Posted by: Nadine at March 9, 2009 5:58 AM

Ooh I want to try it out too, bold, italics, /html. Now you just need to change it so that the name is in big flashing letters at the top of the comment and we're done.

Posted by: ChrisD at March 9, 2009 6:04 AM

Oh it's working now. Good old refresh. That's much better.

Posted by: Carrie at March 9, 2009 6:53 AM

What? We'll actually be remembered now? I feel so special. (I kind of always assumed it was just me who couldn't get the Remember Me feature to work. 'Cause I'm not the most memorable sort of person.)

*sniff* Thanks, guys. You've made my day.

Also, I love the live preview.

Now, the moment of truth...will I be in a blue-grey box or not?

Posted by: meaux at March 9, 2009 7:00 AM

Oh man, so purty. Definitely a nice upgrade, guys.

Posted by: Snath at March 9, 2009 7:08 AM

Ooh, fancy.

I like the old Pajiba better, all of these changes are making me frightened and .... wait..... what's that kid doing? Hey...hey! You little sumbitch....get the hell off my lawn!

Posted by: admin at March 9, 2009 7:26 AM

It remebers me!? Is Pajiba stalking me now? Are you guys working for Big Brother!? Is it going to steal my credit card infomation?

Posted by: admin at March 9, 2009 7:29 AM

Groovy Marsha.

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 7:40 AM

Oooh...What a great thing to wake up to.

Oooh...The preview thingy is mesmerizing.

Thank you, Pajiba!

Posted by: Jerce at March 9, 2009 7:42 AM

Aah. The visual changes are weirding me out. No doubt Ill get used to it one day soon but at the moment its sharply taking my breath away... like when you realise someone has a moustache, then you realise its the woman you like, then you realise the moustache is kinda hot and your whole world falls apart.

Posted by: jim at March 9, 2009 7:51 AM

thank you for being a friend
travelled down the road and back again
your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
and if you threw a party, and invited everyone you knew
you would see the biggest gift would be from me
and that card attached would say:
thank you for being a friend.

Posted by: celery at March 9, 2009 7:53 AM

I have Firefox as well. Those of you using it should be able to see zebra comments after you refresh.

Ooooo, I can see what I'm typing. Pajiba is watching me......

Posted by: stardust savant at March 9, 2009 8:08 AM

Is there any way we could get a giant, blue penis in the preview window? I feel like that would keep me motivated as I type.

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 8:19 AM

Ah! But can I crash your website at will? Must try later from the banned IP address.

Oh, the live preview thingy is creeping me out.

Posted by: BWeaves (from a different IP address) at March 9, 2009 8:26 AM

Testing, testing.

Well Seth? What's the verdict. Am I still the bad one?

Posted by: BWeaves (from the naughty IP address) at March 9, 2009 8:31 AM

Seth: I can't see the right hand side of the comments. They're hidden behind the right margin.

Posted by: BWeaves at March 9, 2009 8:32 AM

See that previous entry?

That's supposed to say:
They're hidden behind the RIGHT margin.

But what I see is:
They're hidden behind the
margin.

Posted by: BWeaves at March 9, 2009 8:33 AM

OK, this is weird. The comments show up fine on one PC, but are hidden behind the right margin on the other PC. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know what setting to change?

I tried View => Text Size, but that's not the issue, as both machines are set to the same size.

Posted by: BWeaves at March 9, 2009 8:39 AM

I'm not experiencing that problem BWeaves.

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 8:43 AM

Yeah, I'm having the same margin issue, BWeaves. Otherwise, looks great!

Posted by: meaux at March 9, 2009 8:43 AM

One down, one to go...whenever Pookie returns from his self-imposed exile.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 8:45 AM

I don’t see no goddamn difference Freilich, but then again I’m not one of those tech savvy homos.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 8:46 AM

Finally, a Pajiba change that doesn't piss me off as being change for the sake of change -- this one actually provides a benefit to me! I'm not having any problems in Google Chrome, so I'm happy and that's all that matters to me.

Oh, and I meant to say whenever Pookie returns from his latest self-imposed exile...

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 8:49 AM

Buy why the fuck is every other comment shaded, it’s confusing to my depth perception. Freilich, who told you to change a goddamn thing? Is this what you call progress?

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 8:52 AM

*But*

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 8:53 AM

ANNNNNNDDDD...there he is. Welcome back again, Pooks.

Here's an idea for the next change: show me a preview of what everybody else is typing while I'm typing, so the person I'm addressing in my post can't undercut my point by posting themselves before I'm done. So how about it, Rowles?

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 8:54 AM

What a great Monday morning surprise. I missed the work in progress this weekend, so this is my first chance to see the new format. So far, so good. Reading the preview as I write it is cool, but kinda creepy. I can get used to it.

Posted by: rlr260 at March 9, 2009 9:00 AM

Well, I checked "remember personal info" and it said "ummm, yeah about that..."

Posted by: Mrcreosote at March 9, 2009 9:01 AM

Everyone's talking about blue boxes, but I've got gray boxes. Is it my computer, or am I colorblind?

Now I'll never be a jetfighter!

Posted by: feramones at March 9, 2009 9:01 AM

You read my mind Che. Live group chat, no?

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 9:02 AM

Oooh, fancy! And also slightly creepy. Neat!

Feramones, what the heck are you talking about, crazypants? Nobody said blue boxes, they said gray. No jetfighter piloting for you indeed, since you're colorblind and crazy!

Oh, and I'm using Firefox, and the comments were alternating both bold and indented, until I hit "refresh". Now they're alternating shaded. Gray. Not blue.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at March 9, 2009 9:10 AM

You may have helped prevent any future inadvertent double-posting but not having to retype personal info will hopefully lead to the intentional double.

Posted by: branded at March 9, 2009 9:12 AM

You may have helped prevent any future inadvertent double-posting but not having to retype personal info will hopefully lead to the intentional double.

(But you have to avoid a comment frequency limit, apparently)

Posted by: branded at March 9, 2009 9:13 AM

Funky.

Posted by: ed newman at March 9, 2009 9:20 AM

Live group chat, no?

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 9:02 AM

No. Most of the fun of Pajiba is in following the slug trails wherever they happen to ooze. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and the climbing ability of slugs never ceased to amaze me. Now where was I? Oh yeah, group chat. A thousand times no. Just comment pre-preview, so I could know what others were getting ready to post. In fact, on second thought I want that ability exclusively. My needs are pretty simple.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 9:42 AM

Please install a spell checker on your next round of improvements Freilich so motherfuckers will stop picking on me. I can’t write great post and concentrate on my spelling at the same time, I’m kinda like a tortured genius with all of my thought proving post. If I have to expend energy making sure the words are spelled correctly then that takes away from my thought process.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 9:43 AM

I’m sorry Cindy but I have to disagree with your Live group chat idea. Live group chat will take away from the continuity of the post. Live group chat only works on those sex chat websites.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 9:49 AM

Okay, I am totally just commenting now to see what everyone else is talking about. Sweet!

Is there something wrong with me that I only read this because it said "clitoris" in the title?

Posted by: legib at March 9, 2009 9:51 AM

If we could indeed preview what others were in the midst of typing, it would be a sort of live chat. We'd feel compelled at some point to respond to what someone else was about to post, just as we now respond to actual posts.
Eh, did that make any sense?

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 9:52 AM

Live group chat only works on those sex chat websites.

For clarification - if we could see previews of what everyone else was in the midst of posting, it couldn't help but be a sort of live chat. Which would be both cool and impossible. But I do thank you for sharing your real life experience in such matters.

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 9:55 AM

Hmmm...this will be fun.

Damn, this preview thing! It's fucking up my day.

It's like...it knows...

Posted by: Trouble at March 9, 2009 9:59 AM

Is there something wrong with me that I only read this because it said "clitoris" in the title?

Welcome to the fold.

Posted by: branded at March 9, 2009 9:59 AM

I fear the unknown. And I don't like that my computer is mocking everything I type.

Hey legib, I clicked this link for the clit reference, too. I have one, so I wanted to see wht this was about, from a scientific standpoint, and also because who doesn't love the clitoris?

Posted by: Clee Shay at March 9, 2009 9:59 AM

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-CHANGES!

Posted by: Lainey at March 9, 2009 10:12 AM

Welcome to the fold.

Oh, I get it...haha.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 10:16 AM

I’m not interested in watching what a person is about to post, what would be the point? It’s kinda like foreplay, don’t get me wrong, foreplay is good, but fuckin’ is what I come for.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 10:23 AM

Sometimes the lead-in can be just as good as the main event.

Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2009 10:25 AM

Maybe if you weren't such a fucking dummy, you would just, you know, KNOW HOW TO SPELL.

Posted by: I Love Beets at March 9, 2009 10:27 AM

Finally, a Pajiba with a smidgen of style. Now, when I rush to minimize my screen when the boss pays a visit it won't be because the comments section looks ugly - it'll be due more to the content of the comments themselves! Yay!

Posted by: Kolby at March 9, 2009 10:47 AM

Dang, I Hate Pookie I Love Beets -- I think your point has been made.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 10:49 AM

Now I understand your plan Beets, it took me some time but I’ve figured it out. Your plan is to riff off of everything I write. It might not be the most original or creative thing to do Beets, but I guess it is a way for you to get me to notice you.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 10:49 AM

Hmmmm, I appear to have found a bug/discrepancy in the newfangled comment machine -- "I Hate Pookie" was struck out in the preview, but apparently the strikeout tag didn't pass through into the published comment.

So don't flame me about tags.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 10:51 AM

*BUZZ*

This is a test of the HTML tag formatting system. This is only a test.

bold
italic
strikeout 1
strikeout 2
underline

These all show up properly in the preview area...now to see what they look like for reals.

*BUZZ*

This was only a test.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 10:58 AM

It would appear that the new Preview area is running a different HTML engine than the rest of the site. Oh well. You've been warned.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 11:00 AM

Thanks for the feedback, cats.

Che - nah, not a different HTML engine. Just a setting I needed to tinker with. As you can see from your test post, works like a charm now. Any HTML that doesn't work is because we're not letting it work. We're dictating overlords like that.

For folks having the issue of alternating comments being in bold, rather than with a gray (s'gray, not blue, you color-blind nutjobs) background, try a refresh. Beyond that, I got nothing to help you out with at the moment.

George (or anyone else who notices) - please point out where you're seeing engorged fonts in the wrong place and I'll look into it.

Sarina - Dustin and I have tested extensively in Firefox (as that's what we both use), so can you tell me what's looking wonky to you?

Bweaves and meaux - Don't know what the deal is with your margins. Sounds like it's an issue with how your browser is interpreting the underlying formatting code and I'm not sure why it's wonky, nor am I sure how to resolve it (particularly as I'm not having the problem), but I'll try to look into it.

Posted by: seth at March 9, 2009 11:17 AM

OK, now the interweb apparatuses are messing with me. After hitting "Post Comment" the strikeout and underline tags did not appear to have any effect in my little test post. Now, after hitting Refresh, the tags have taken effect and my 11:00 AM comment looks delusional. Or it could be the antihistamines. You be the judge...

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 9, 2009 11:20 AM

Hey Freilich, everybody gets a personal response from you but me, what gives? I don’t think my question was difficult to answer at all. So once again I’ll ask you the question. Who told you to change a goddamn thing?

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 11:35 AM

He said "engorged fonts".. hee hee.

Good Godtopus, what has this site done to me?

Posted by: legib at March 9, 2009 11:36 AM

It was looking wonky for me in Firefox- no bolding, no boxes, just every other comment indented 3 characters (this was maybe 6 minutes ago). After that little site hiccough, I refreshed the page and see gray boxes, though.

The preview confuses me. I have been well-trained, and always put one space after commas and two after periods, and the preview takes them away. I keep deleting the beginnings of my sentence and retyping to put in the spaces, but I never succeed.

Posted by: Phaeolus at March 9, 2009 11:37 AM

What's with the gray and white? Where are we, TWoP?

Ooh...live preview of html you say? Shut the front door. Or better yet, open a window for an Internet angel has just flown in. Praise Godtopus!

And I don't need to preview my comment twice over to make sure I get linkage? Pretty. So, so pretty.

Posted by: Robert at March 9, 2009 11:41 AM

Anyone who's asking for a spell-checker, you have a couple different options.

1. Get Firefox or Chrome. They have built-in spell-checkers.
2. If you already have Firefox, upgrade it.
3. If you're in Safari, enable spell-check.
4. I'm going to refrain from making fun of IE users and just point you here.

Pajiba doesn't need to do this for you, you ungrateful bastards.

Posted by: Sabrina at March 9, 2009 11:46 AM

At least it's not Discus. I think it's pretty nifty. Swell, even.

Jesus, I made 37% more typing errors because of the preview thingy. Huh.

Posted by: TWoP Fan at March 9, 2009 11:46 AM

Cool. But pink would've been a better choice. Or mustard.

Posted by: Sofía at March 9, 2009 11:54 AM

Pookie - Who asked us to change a god damn thing? Please see my earlier comment about us being dictating overlords. To quote Eric Cartman, "I do what I want." Like it or lump it.

OK, so I.... Oooooo. Plop.....

Posted by: Odnon at March 9, 2009 12:24 PM

I'm better now. I just had an E-gasm.

I love, love, love the upgrades! Very fancy. And freaky. I read about them yesterday and spent the night like a kid waiting for Christmas Morning.
The alternating gray/white should make for a good betting thing, or drinking game: which one will I get this time?

As for the preview thing, I'll be fine once I stop trying to correct the preview and not the actual comment I am typing. Shit. Did it again. Now if it can only be so fast as to type faster than me and make me cleverer and, ... Shit! I just did it again!

Posted by: Odnon at March 9, 2009 12:36 PM

I'm having an issue with the margins as well. The edges on the right side are cutting off words. I'm at work on IE, I'll check when I get home (yes, Jay, I succumbed to Firefox. Please don't hate me).


I think the grey and white looks really nice and I freakin' love the instant preview thingermabob.

Posted by: Lainey at March 9, 2009 12:37 PM

I'm rather partial to puce, myself.

Posted by: Kolby at March 9, 2009 12:41 PM

Jesus. Maybe you guys can fix my fucking Google Reader so it delivers the posts in a timely fashion.

I feel like I've just moved up from a tricycle to a triplane....

Oh what the shit. I don't know where to put this, but Asshlee Simpson is going on Melrose Place. I can't even ironically enjoy it now.

Lalalalalalalala OH MY WATCHING MYSELF TYPE IS AWESOME. LALALALALALALA lalalalalalala.

I'm done now.

IT REMEMBERED ME! I EXIST!

Okay, I'm reeeally done now.

Posted by: jamiepants at March 9, 2009 1:09 PM

This creepy. It's like, reading my mind, and stuff.

Help!

Why is Asslee Simpson going to be on Melrose? Better yet, why are they remaking Melrose? I learned everything I needed to know about relationships from Melrose.

Posted by: Melody at March 9, 2009 1:15 PM

They need to remake it so the next generation knows how to execute murder/kidnapping/blackmail attempts on their beloveds, obviously.

Any chance of re-engaging the "recent comments"?

Posted by: Jay at March 9, 2009 1:40 PM

Seriously, how pretty is this? More than anything, I'm just glad that A) I no longer have to hit preview to link my name, B) I no longer have to hit preview to, well, preview, and C) That I no longer have to type out all my info. Yay! Thanks guys!

Ooh, pretty! Now I'm super jealous of AvB up there because she gets to do the EE with shaded boxes and I just got to scroll through lines and lines of type that began to run together until I thought that I was having an aneurysm. Well played, Mr. Freilich! Well played indeed.

Posted by: Nicole at March 9, 2009 2:37 PM

Nicole, there is really no need for you to be jealous of AvB’s box.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 2:44 PM

Yeah, but Nicole, look how many comments this is generating... I've got school tonight, man! Now I'm going to have to catch up on this all tomorrow! And I'll probably have an aneurysm anyway.

Also, Pookie, what is it exactly you are saying about my box? I happen to have a lovely box, which, by the way, is April fresh, even though it's only March.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at March 9, 2009 2:59 PM

I love this thing.

And yeah to the spellcheck people: Firefox has one built in. I don't know how I'd live without it.

Really needs to add Godtopus to its dictionary, though. HA. I just did it. Godtopus is now a word in my dictionary.

See, now that is being proactive rather than reactive. Kudos AvB, you're always one step ahead of the rest of us.

My box is still September Stank.

Man, they've had this type of thing going on Quizlaw forever.

Posted by: arr matey at March 9, 2009 4:04 PM

AvB, I would never question your box. I was making a joke to Nicole about her being envious about your box. As far as I’m concerned, your box is beyond reproach.

Posted by: Pookie at March 9, 2009 4:30 PM

Sorry Seth, it was totally my fault. I had a bunch of my settings jacked up because I was testing shit elsewhere, and I forgot to change them back. The display is fine under normal settings.

Posted by: Sarina at March 9, 2009 7:02 PM

Aw, thanks Pookie. Sorry if I got a little out of hand there. I misunderstood your intent. I do that sometimes...
