Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It\'s all my fault. I\'m certain of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, I hear there's this new disease that affects actuaries. It results in occasional blackouts of several seconds, along with multiple (>100) rapid spasms of the index finger (or the thumb if you're using a laptop).

You mean thereminitis?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've heard that thereminist repetitive stress syndrome is a very underreported problem. I mean, have you ever watched Jon's hands during a performance? All that motion with no wrist support?

(Heh, x-posted.)

I suspect the backslash comes from PHP's "magic quotes" feature, designed to protect against SQL injection attacks but mostly just driving programmers insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a strange time for it to pop up, though. Not sure which conditions were satisfied this time that hadn't occurred before.

And to have it come and go on its own is odd. Is Istrata doing some upgrades on the server?

What is even happening?

There's a profile for "Janitor": [link] I'm just wondering if it was registered to Gus's email address.

FWIW, that account must have been created months ago (based on the user ID). Only one new user account has been created since kimi.

We seem to still be getting a fair amount of lurkers registering.

Yes. I'm wondering created around the time Janitor showed up on the wiki.
