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

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.

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

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.

The e-mail address associated with the account is not obviously one of Gus's.

We're starting to get into Anathema territory here. Perhaps it's time to stop.

Well, it's certainly time to stop having the discussion here. Wrong thread.
