A lucky Friday the 13th to you all!

[Simon]

Good morning world

Hope you heal well, Fonz...and never have any soccer injuries like those we watched on YouTube the other day.

Man, I left the board over 12 hours ago and when I returned there were only 3 new threads, what's going on?

Well, I mentioned this to a couple of people: Ive been noticing the board getting quieter and quieter...and I blame Facebook! Instead of keeping this board open in the background, jumping in on threads during the day and starting new ones, it seems that many people are now spending a lot of their time on Facebook (and maybe some other social media sites). In some ways it's like the effect that tube sites have had/are having on other kinds of sites.

Wishing everyone a superstition-free day.




Geek note: At 11:31:30pm UTC on Feb 13, 2009, Unix time will reach 1,234,567,890. For me (and others in EST) it will be at 6:31:30 PM today. You can drop this on a command line to find out the time this occurs in your local area:

perl -e 'print scalar localtime(1234567890),"\n";'
