StalinsNotDead's Journal: People I Miss

There are those who have gone to some other site, or passed on in somwe other way. If'n you're not mentioned, I apologize; my memory can only hold so much space:

In No particular order, save the first (it's an ego, err survival, thing)

If you weren't mentioned by name, I apologize (or you still post to Slashdot, even if it is about baseball). My brain can only work so much. And these are folks, I ain't heard from in a while. Presumably lost to multiply. I know a couple of people from here have attempted to include me in that multiply shennanigans (my job recently released it from the forbidden zone). If you can find it in your heart to send me some kind of invite so's I can expand that network. I've appreciated interacfting with each and every one of you.

You pansies! abandoning a site just because something "better" comes along. At least, GeckoFood still occasionally posts bread recipes and john503(DII) posts his poetry.

lurk

[Philip K Dickhead]

Blackhat, with his essays and his news of the news and his textoons. Did you mean to list him when you pu me twice?

Yes, those were elegant members for a more civilized age.

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

Well, I did say "In no particular order". And you were one of the more prolific journal posters, so it's natural that you would have gotten mentioned twice. That, and my brain don't work so well as it used to.

Re:

[Philip K Dickhead]

Lurk of the Irish.

Your brain is certainly working.

Thanks for the props.

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

Your brain is certainly working.

Awful nice to say, Hoss.

And I did enjoy reading your rather lengthy journal entries. Why'd you stop?

Re:

>-paranoia- ;-)

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

Understandable, but any damage has already been done.

I prefer the term "smart". (In case you have sigs disabled)

Invite

[Morosoph]

You don't need an invite for Multiply; you just join!

To make it interesting, you'll need to get yourself a few reciprocal "online buddies" or "friends"... There's no other way; you just have to ask. Someone will invite you to the (hidden) "circular refuge" group :o)

I agree with PKD's prognosis "Yes, those were elegant members for a more civilized age". I prefer Slashdot's simplicity, myself.

Re:

[nizo]

Yeah send me a message ol' chappie when you get over there :-)

Re:

[FortKnox]

Ditto. We'd be happy to involve you over there, SND! And I still lurk around here and reply to JE's... just don't write JEs.

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

It'll take some getting used to. I'm a Luddite at heart, and new websites are disconcerting.

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

Well, I've got three online buddies. All of which were acquired pretty early in the migration over there. The problem is that I was cut off from the site from work when all this happened, and my home computer took a massive dump around the same time.

And I'm pretty sure some people changed names when they moved.

And I'm pretty lazy.

Re:

[Ethelred Unraed]

"Over there" I'm infinitemonkey. [multiply.com]

I still read and respond here, just I don't post JEs here no mo'.

Cheers,

Ethelred (woo-hoo! top of da list!) Unraed

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

Fiance? What's BoE to think?

Re:

[Ethelred Unraed]

You won't tell, will you?

Cheers,

Ethelred

Re:

[StalinsNotDead]

No, I won't tell. But I did happen to notice at least five other fiances and at least two ex-husbands.

I certainly seem to have missed a whirlwind of sorts.

Easy way around work filters that ban sites ...

[tomhudson]

1. Install linux on home machine
2. enable remote desktop
3. ifconfig - note external address
4. at work http://external_address:5801/ [externaladdress]

wait for the java applet to download (that's what takes the time, the first time), then log in, click on your web browser, and surf all your favorite bookmarks, etc.

As a demo for some co-workers, I ran eclipse remotely, and it *still* ran faster than running it locally. Web browsing works fine. Just don't try it on dialup.

Still poke my head in from time to time....

[HokieSeas]

....but really haven't add much to add or post that I haven't done elsewhere lately.

Awww.

[dexterpexter]

:)

I should post more in my Journal. Most of the time when I actually think about it, what I want to post is either full of complaints, or preachy. I figured that most folks here would rather be spared both. But I will post again soon enough. Thanks for the reminder.

Re:

[dexterpexter]

Oh, and I didn't migrate to Multiply and I have no plans to.

Where else could I be called a cowboy because I type too fast? No where, that's where.
