  • Public Service Announcement -- poobah who has no idea on how to spam, 21:34:20 04/11/01 Wed
    *waves arm frantically* Oohh… not that I know how to spam, *grin* but I volunteered to send out the following Public Service Announcement:

    Wanted:

    Nudges, Nudges and MORE Nudges! The more nudges the better in fact!
    Why? Well, let me tell you why. Very Very soon the Illuminious Immediate section of the Rally Site will be fully operational, the only reason why it’s not advertised as completed yet is that RED_LETHE NEEDS YOU! Yes! YOU are needed most is to submit your cryptic nudge for the Illuminious Immediate nudge section

    What is so special about this nudge site?
    http://www.rally.dircon.co.uk/illuminous.htm

    - The nudges are randomly generated
    - Nudges are submitted by filling out an on-line form
    - After 5 nudge requests the illuminous locks out – but you can try again later to get more nudges if you are still stuck

    As with any nudge site – some nudges which might be obvious to one person, is not to another. Blatenly obvious nudges will be ‘weighted’ – for example, The Stones puzzle currently has 3 nudges, one of which, can be perceived as a ‘gimme’ has a 1 in 20 chance in appearing.

    Feel free to check out the rest of the site and pass on any feedback. The site has forms that are easy and painless to fill in.

    Note: The Illuminious Stone Unturned section is still under construction.

  • Duck Tape -- Emily Latella, 00:11:50 04/10/01 Tue
    What's all this I'm hearing about ducks being taped?
    Ducks are being taped to Lodge walls and to other ducks
    and to gnomes? Is this something that we should be reporting to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals? It seems to me that ducks should not be taped, but
    be allowed to waddle around and float free as they please.
    Thye might get the tape stuck to themselves and then not be able to fly or float anymore and their wings might get taped to their bodies. And even if they can get the tape off, then they might have that gooey gummy tape residue stuck in their
    feathers.

    If this duck taping does not stop, I'm going to do something about it.

  • A quote I like, though quite long -- Genus, 18:52:34 04/09/01 Mon
    "I have studied many times the marble which was chiseled for me. A boat
    with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my
    destination, but my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from its
    disillusionment, sorrow knocked on my door, but I was afraid, ambition
    called to me, but I dreaded the chances, yet all the while I hungered for
    meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail and catch
    the winds of destiny wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's
    life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of
    restlessness and vague desire. It is a boat longing for the sea and yet
    afraid." -- Edgar Lee Masters

  • Quotes - request by Junebug, whom I now know as Junepig -- Kayaker, 21:54:41 04/08/01 Sun
    One of my favourite quotes about the passage of time & life is by Ogden Nash ... my dad liked this so much he had it framed and when he died I brought it to my office so it is
    now hanging near my desk ...

    It's called
    "the middle"

    When I remember bygone days
    I think how evening follows morn
    So many I loved were not yet dead
    So many I love were not yet born

    ogden nash

  • Favorite Quotes: Dylan, Franklin & somebody -- morph, 04:27:16 04/09/01 Mon
    These two lines have at times been posted side-by-side over my desk:

    "Gentlemen, we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall hang separately" - Ben Frankin, in the Continental Congress about 1776

    "Don't follow leaders" - Bob Dylan

    They don't exactly contradict each other, but they are contrary. "The opposite of and ordinary truth is a falsehood; the opposite of a Great Truth is another Great Truth" - damnifIknowwho

  • Is it just me? -- poobah sitting in the corner, 15:44:41 04/06/01 Fri
    Ever have those days where it seems like you should just sit in the corner so you aren't a bother to anyone? You wonder if it was something you said or did? Is this just me or am I being paranoid again?
    Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't ask these questions because I might find out the answer that I don't want to know....

    Anywhohow.. I'm off for a bit of Bristol tomorrow - I hope everyone has a good weekend :-)

    yes indeedy do, there is life somewhere out there in SK land.
    So far the main sign in page : http://www.thestone.com has changed it's graphic AND now the Community page has also changed.
    Spooky thing about this is that ethelred mentioned changes would happen BOTH times! He's passed out sleeping right now as he has to work tommorrow. I need to pass out as well from taking a couple of sleep inducing prescription medication.

  • I think I'm ready now for ICQ -- poobah scratching her head and getting slivers, 10:00:34 04/02/01 Mon
    HiDeHo!

    Ok, I have ICQ semi-sort-of-kind-of set up right now. I don't have my contact list though, so if you want to be one of my contacts, please feel free to ask for authorization. Just let me know your stone name and I'll get back to you as soon as I figure out how to work this *doing Yosemite Sam impersonation* Rasinfrasindurnblastin MacIntosh PowerBook.

    I'm not ignoring anyone.. honest! Also if anyone can lend me a hand on getting use to ICQ on a PowerBook, that would be muchly appreciated :-) Just e-mail me with some helpful hints on:
    Active List - can I have it back?
    System menu - where did it go?

    Bear in mind that I am a PC user and find the menus much different on the Mac 87)

    Chow chow chow for now...

  • ICQ spam -- poobah who NEVER spams *rofl*, 00:00:58 04/02/01 Mon
    HiDeHo!

    I was at Portia's today and saw that I had 10 ICQ requests for authorization - which I did authorize everyone!

    I'm not on ICQ right now, I am currently using ethelred's MacIntosh PowerBook and he doesn't have it loaded yet. Apparently I should be able to use ICQ on a Mac - so I'll be looking into that sometime shortly. This will also mean that I will need to re-request authorization and give authorization again. When I have things set up, I will let everyone know. I sure do miss being on IRC and ICQ right now *sulks*

    Chow Chow Chow
