    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    This started as a gripe about the "nef thread" - it has turned into what I hope will be a positive discussion about how we can reduce OT threads, and still allow those who choose to "socialize" with our friends here... not in that cesspool of OT. I've changed the poll as well. Please... can...

    DPAD - Own horn tootage

    Hate to toot my own horn, but I FINALLY managed to pass SG Friends today... for #23 all-time in DPAD and my own milestone of 22,000,000 Mpts. I'm toasting myself with a :beer: and tomorrow is my birthday. and I presently hold #9 best PhaseRotC #3 PhaseRotC_bigS1 and #2 PhaseRotB...

    DPAD -

    For our "stats deprived" - they've done a really great job on these! Our first 1,000,000 mpt day in awhile! :) Welcome back z! Our heavy-hitter looks like he's ramping up for some SERIOUS production again. The latest client is quite well behaved in background mode, and the annoying...

    Totally, and COMPLETELY OT. ... Even more so than usual

    OK... so I'm dated. The Eagles are probably my favorite of all time. Bravo had the "Farewell tour I" on tonight. I was STOKED! Enter the wife. End of "Stoked" Sigh. Is it just me at mid-forties... or am I a part of a bigger conspiracy to deprive men of any sort of joy in their...

    OT - Hurricane. Could Geraldo possibly be a bigger putz?

    Please have a look at Fox news coverage of the hurricane. Over on the right side under "Most Watched" - check out "Geraldo Braves Dennis' Fury" Puhleez. I must admit, I was gleeful when he got tossed out of Iraq for compromising our troop positions in the early days of the Iraq conflict...

    OT - The official TeAm "good news" thread

    Having been the purveyor of some of the more somber threads around these parts lately, it occurred to me that I for one, would love to hear about some of the really neat things going on in my extended family's lives. So... Here's the official "Good News" thread. Tell us about something...

    OT - the REALLY last of the "spineless" series?

    Farewell to my little one.

    A farewell to my little one. She came to us, a little pudgy football of a kitten. Fleas, worms and all. She had been roughly treated, and the one thing she wanted more than anything in the world was love, and love is what she got. We called her "Munchkin", or "Munch" for short. We...

    What *should* my 5 year anniversary post have been?

    As pointed out in the ongoing nef thread... June 2 was my 5 year anniversary with Anandtech! :beer: I was going to do some really profound post, but totally missed it whilst on my John Deere trying to deal with some really long grass. So... Since I missed it, I guess we can just...

    ANY TeAm mate in UK or AU-

    EDIT: Thank you one and all that offered encouragement, and most of all those who helped. David did indeed locate a supply... unfortunately, the logistics of getting the drug refrigerated, to the US - and through customs, coupled with the price - makes this endeavor one better left undone...

    What has DC spanned in your life?

    It keeps going, and going, and going... Let's see... since I began doing DC projects, I've had 3 jobs, moved, changed vehicles, had a root canal, a ruptured disk, and my hair is falling out. dasm... I'm glad SOME things don't change. There's reason #13 to keep on doing DC... It'll be...

    Friendly reminder for all...

    Hey guys.... don't forget the lady who made your presence on this planet possible! I just e-mailed my m-day greetings. My mother is 73 years old... and is GEEKY! :Q I gave her an I-paq 5 years ago, and she's now graduated to a full-on PC running XP! Anyway... just a reminder to keep...

    Poll - Do you work in IT?

    OK - so we all know this isn't very scientific... but I find myself wondering how many of my fellow AT'ers that do DC (must keep it on topic mustn't we?) were, but aren't now working in IT. Or weren't and are now, etc... Having gone from what I mistakenly believed was a solid career to...

    Terribly OT, but about the last of the "spineless" series

    OK guys, I won't bore you with alot of detail, but I gave up my cane about 4 days ago! :beer: About ready to begin physical therapy now, and while it's stil dasm painful, I'm at about 5' 11" now... just one inch to go. So - lest anyone think that prayer, encouragement, kind thoughts...

    DPAD stats - Geoff's are FUBAR?

    Hey - I actually did a search BEFORE posting... heheheh. I popped over to check Geoff's uber-cool stats, and they're... well... fubar. Did I miss something? Certainly I understand Geoff is one busy Jose', but I was just curious... is there anything I can do to help?

    A little OT

    Sure... it should be in software, apps, programming & games - but I don't KNOW anyone over there. :o Anyway - Would anyone know a SIMPLE way to do a SUM on a DBGrid column that's displaying a SQL query result? I'm pulling data from an Advantage Data Server app, for the purpose of...

    OT - YEEEHAW!

    It seems we're "over the hump" so to speak. Today, for the first time in 6 weeks, was again able to stand fully upright!!!! :beer: Still a crapload of pain, and I've got to be careful, but it would now appear that surgery will be unnecessary! Nothing really earth-shattering happened to...

    OT- update on the "spineless one"

    Thanks so very much for your kind words, and especially for your interventions. I had a nice little chat with my Dr. just before doing the procedure, and reminded him that the radiologist's report included a specific reference to the L4 facet joint with regard to direct injections. It's a...

    UPDATED>>> was - Crapola... I won't be able to dump for awhile

    /sarcasm.on Just got some really DANDY news from my neurologist. /sarcasm.off He figured out why I went from 6' 0" to 4' 6". (can only walk hunched-over now) I'm going in for back surgery Tuesday. :( For some stupid reason my L5-S1 disk decided to herniate. While I've had some...

    Crashes with DPAD 441f

    Hey guys. :) I switched my main machine to DPAD 441f. I have one at work, seems to be doing fine. This one - crashes with a crypic [fatal] error. I deleted and reinstalled... but ssdd. AMD T-bird, running Winblow$XP Pro, same as the work machine. Any ideas?

    Yo

    Rare day off. I got to spend it with the flu. Oh well. Been working my keester off. Just got a new P4 2.8 that I'm hoping to get a project on soon. It'll probably be the beginnings of rebuilding my remote herd, now that the dealership is growing - and we're adding computers. :) Hope...

    Hey Guys!

    Yep - A wee bit off-topic, but could be crafted into a DC discussion easily enough. Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing. I've been working 70-80 hour weeks, but it's just such a nice break from unemployment - that I don't really mind. ;) Hope you're all doing well. I...

    Geeky is as Geeky does

    Well... it's taken me about 3 weeks to put out the "fires" and begin to craft operations into a more cohesive team. Our main inventory, sales, and tracking program has some real holes in it - so I attempted to get the database schema from the vendor so as to better be able to develop against...

    The end of "geekdom?" - or just an altered state?

    Well... it's sure been interesting. As many of you know... I went from VERY comfortable status in a management position with CPQ - to unemployed with one swift stroke of the pen. Went 2 1/2 YEARS looking diligently for work. Zero, Zip, Nada, Yok, Tipota... NOTHING. Finally - it became...

    A call for help from the TA Community

    For those using the stats - you're aware of the dandy job GeoffS has done for the TeAms. Most teams in DC have little or no stats reporting. TA has SEVEN thoroughly "statted" projects thanks to some very generous donated time, hardware, and bandwidth. These stats are used by both TA - and...

    D2OL - here's a stupid question...

    Believe-it-or-not... I actually read the FAQ and looked for installation instructions first! ;) So.. I know of a certain 3 dual-proc boxen that could be turned into D2OL machines. I'm assuming I'll be running multiple instances? (since there is evidently no multi-proc/multi-threading...

    DPAD - There's one Heckuva race going for individual #1

    Check out the race for #1 (lower left-hand corner under "Individual Stats" - "Overall." Mr. O - has put on a pretty impressive run for #1. It's unfortunate that he'll likely never see it at the rate z is going. Big "z" is about to Rule. :)

    Computing memories

    I was discussing with my brother discussing how uber-cool technology is these days. (He's a fairly new "convert" to the "real world" outside of AOL.) I know I'm not the "oldest" guy in the forums - but I've been around the block a bit. I thought it might be fun to share some memories of...

    DPAD - Nice Dump aphex! but what's with the 6.468957?

    Couldn't help but notice the dump aphex. Nice job! The "best" transfer of 6.468957 indicates you're not using sampleresults. In your config.txt file - it should read: Sample file URL: http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/samplefiles/solenoidsto15cm_100.txt If it's not there - or has the "bad...

    DPAD - Looks like our very own z will soon own #1

    The question is... will he clobber the "much-feared" Mr. O before Mr. O passes Slipstream? I'm thinking "YES" - z will be the first and only to have ever passed Slipstream - until O does it - but I bet z does it FIRST! :D Great crunching, z.

    POLL: GeoffS for Elite.

    Geoff has done a yeoman's effort on stats for both D2OL and DPAD. Utterly outrageous volunteer effort. I wholeheartedly urge the memberships endorsement of this gentleman to Elite status. Please vote accordingly. Thank you. :) Edit: For those who may think this "trivial" -- Take a look at...
