Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone familiar with Microsoft's IIS Server? We've got a webpage that runs a stored procedure that takes about four or five minutes. But the server just returns an error 500 (due to, I assume, something timing out).
On our development server, I just had to change the connection timeout (in IIS) to get around the problem, but this doesn't work on our client's production server. (Our development server has a later version of IIS.)
eta: Nebber mind - it turned out to be the .asp page timing out, which is fixable.

What Do You Suggest? is a site that lets you visually explore how Google Suggest autocompletes a query. "What Do You Suggest takes a seed from you, then guides you on a journey through language and the collective lives of Google users."
It's cool - it shows a bunch of autocomplete options, with the thickness of the line indicating how many matches you'd get for each branch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just showed my age, big time, by copping to having used the internet before the web. And copping to have used Mosaic as my first browser. I feel old and...well, old.
But I'm really startled at the guy who got into IT because of Doom. I thought he was older school than that.

Our wings are not tired.
Mosaic was my first browser too!

I had to spend the better part of 10 minutes in a class on Monday explain what Telnet was to a student. He could not wrap his head around a text based connection between computers.

I remember logging into my dial up Delphi account so that I could use Gopher.
Also lots of chatting with friends back in California using TALK and YTALK.

I'd still telnet, if I didn't have to SSH instead.
Then I'm all FIDOnet this, newsgroups that--no need to keep pretending I'm a youngun.
eta: remember when you could finger people?
