I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I can do the text some time this weekend if someone can proof me, as I am the world's worst typist. I also may need someone to make it funny!

I can proof read for spelling and grammar, although I can't make promises about being funny.

But we're kinda stalled right now, lacking a bit of organisation and a central code repository.

Do we need to do some 'who's working on what?' stuff? (I'm just grabbing at the part I can do: asking people what they can do and telling them what's next on the to-do list.)

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Swouncing

Kissing a woman romantically is kind of like the idea of skiing to me, there are lots of people who love it but it's not something that calls to me.

I can't find where it was said, but in the COMM thread over in WX, it's attributed to connie.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I couldn't get on to the board from about noon to 12:30 ET.

Me neither. Seemed like a network problem.

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

HostRocket went down for a bit.

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

Just some of Hostrocket.

Now that they've brought our server back up, I don't actually expect a response about what happened.

I think that the HTML page of finished votes should include a link to the discussion of each issue in the Lightbulb thread. If you question a policy, you'll be able to see the reasons we considered it in the first place, which is a lot better than tradition. For example, looking at Cindy's awesome table of results made me remember that I was once trying to build consensus for disallowing table tags. By now I can't even remember which way we decided, much less the reasons why. (Having tables hasn't hurt anything, of course.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Having tables hasn't hurt anything, of course

But it could, which is why we have the "automagic link closer" high on the list of board-improvement-priorities.
