Good point. I'll have to mull the complexity of the implementation.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
There is an error in the FAQ. One of the answers to the question "How many Buffistas does it take to change a lightbulb" is wrong. It currently reads:
A. And another to set up the threads, "The Lantern, the Torch, and their Lampshades," "Bulbista Bureaucracy," and "Torchiere!"
but it should be:
A. And another to set up the threads, "The Lantern, the Torch, and their Lampshades," "Bulbista Bureaucracy," and "Torchiere&Halojen4EVAH!"
It's possible the original FAQ page tried to interpret the &Halojen as an entity and failed, so that's why it went missing.

I must be feeling a little silly this morning, because Torchiere! is making me laugh like a drain!

DX, when you come through -- have you sucked and zipped?
Okay, Natters 1 - 5 are sucked, zipped, and up on the Archives page. I probably won't get to the rest today, but does are done if you want to do some experiments.

DX is a funny man.

Thank you for the archiving! It has made my day to see a much shorter list of threads.
Quick question:
Do we have an estimated finish time for the user filter?

We don't have a finished spec, so not even a start time.
Rob hasn't been around much -- he was the one who dibbsed it, and speccing got derailed.

I'm around. As soon as you give me access to CVS I'll start familiarizing myself with Phoenix.
But, if there's someone else more qualified who really wants work on MARCIE, I can give up my dibbsies. I don't want to stand in the way.

Actually, obligations at work are going to prevent me from picking this up any time soon. Please put the MARCIE feature back in the unassigned category.

Please put the MARCIE feature back in the unassigned category.
Done, on my chart at least.
