Iz I the right way up for printing?

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm

Moving on with life. The diaper pail has gone unused for almost 3 months. After 6 years in our lives, I'm not sorry to see it go.

It's in perfect working condition, but I'm seriously thinking of drilling holes in it, painting it green and using it as a compost bin.

I'm stlll shocked that *I* spent 6 years of my life changing diapers. That was definitely never in the plans. I couldn't even begin to imagine what some of my friends with 4 or 5 kids with 2 - 3 years between them have endured.

Ha. I work with three girls - two of whom are still solidly in diapers (2.5 years old and almost 1). I sometimes contemplate counting how many diapers I change in a day and then decide that would be too depressing. The 2 year old is starting to want to potty train and I'm STOKED.

I'm on the countdown to potty training the last one. Both boys trained right around 25 months, so I'm hoping the girl follows suit, she's 21 months.

Yes. K-9. Then I got my driver's license and drove myself for 10-12. Edit: The experience was fine. I'm indifferent. Never had any issues but it wasn't my most favorite activity ever.

- Just Kidée: Road Warrior
*raises hand* - not a good experience. My first trip on the bus resulted in a missed stop on the way home - very traumatic for a 1st grader. Lots of bullying too.

Yes, throughout high school.

*raises hand*... rode the city bus from (I think) 4th grade through high school. It was what it was. Fun some days, lousy others. Got my first contact high riding Bi-State (MO/IL). I read most of the time, so I really didn't notice much of what was going on. One of the things I like about mass transit, the opportunity to read.... but then, you didn't really ask for all that, did you? *cough*

It was fine, my kids actually love taking the bus. I try to explain to them that parents who love their kids take them to school, but they won't listen
- RAPatton
I took an MBTA bus to high school for the first few months of my freshman year (until I dislocated my knee and had a brace from my ankle to my thigh and had to have my mother drive me, which eventually became a carpool until I started driving myself). The bus made stops through a somewhat shady area of Boston, though, so it was no big loss. I wouldn't say it was a good experience, but it wasn't really a bad one either.
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
I did in 2nd grade for a few months and in 4th grade for a few months. Experience was fine, if a bit noisy.
- Anika
I always wanted to ride the bus but since our town is so small, it never made sense to catch it for a 5-minute ride across town. The one exception was Freshman year of high school - my best friend lived in the country and had to take the bus to school every day, so I would catch it at the jr high by my house and join her for the last bit of the trip to keep her company. Once we got our licenses though...fuggedaboutit. :D
- Hookuh Tinypants
rode the bus k-6, walk to jr high 7-9, bus/car/TRUCKS (i had some farmer sons as friends, ;) high school
- chaz2b
Bus grades 7-11.
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Every day until I had my driver's license. I grew up out in the country, so it was always at least 1/2 an hour, usually longer, each way. In the winter it would take even longer. It was okay. I did a lot of reading. There were some bullies on the bus in middle school and early high school. I should have been a target, but they pretty much left me alone. Well, sometimes they asked me about what I was reading. I was going through a horror phase and they approved of the gory covers and liked my plot summaries.
- Katy S
Yes, K-6. It was mostly just like school, occasionally hell, and sometimes very fun. There was bullying like crazy, but when we switched drivers in 4th grade (to the guy who ran Skateland!) that crap wasn't tolerated anymore and it was mostly awesome.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I rode the bus through High School. Pretty damn boring as I remember it.
- Brent - Yes I am
I walked to elementary school in Romania and later in Hollywood, bus passed it all through JrH and HS. By HS I was able to ride the bus all over LA from Hollywood to downtown to Santa Monica to south central. The whole city was accessible. It never really struck at the time how cool that was as I HATED being on the bus and it just took too damn long to get anywhere. It was all about the destination not the ride. After HS I swore I would never ride the bus again. Bleah! CAR TRANSPORT FTW!
- Adrian
I did when I was really young and of course on field trips, and to sporting events. I wouldn't say it was horrible. I think mostly it was normal, at least what I remember. Nothing horrible, nothing great. By 7th grade and up I rode in with my Mom as she was a secretary in the middle school/high school office. And I usually walked home from school, it wasn't that far away. :)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Back when I lived in Bucharest, Romania, I took buses and/or the underground (metro) train every day for my 40-minute-each-way ride to high school (9th grade to 12th grade). But then, that's not as unusual there as it is in the US; I'd say that more than 60% of people rode public transit to/from work (instead of driving), and it is very unusual for high school students to drive (as you have to be 18 to get your license).
- Tudor Bosman
7-12, although I did drive some of my 12th grade year. I always enjoyed it.
- chrisofspades
I took a bus 1st to fifth grade. It was fine, just matter of fact the way it was, not much choice.
- SteVe C
I took the bus in HS Frosh & Soph years. Drove Jr & Sr years. Walked to school when in elementary & Jr High. It wasn't bad. The city bus was interesting. Saw stuff like an old lady sniffing paint.
- Rodfather
Sometime in high school. Might've been Sophmore year. Hated the school bus because of it's timing. Ended up riding the city bus from then on. Not too bad experience in general.
- Arlan K.
K & 10-12, occasionally during 1-6. During HS it was fine. I used to walk off the bus with bruises, from being forced into the walls, by a high-schooler, during the 1-6 period. Also, had 3 bus drivers fired during that period, 2 for neglect, and one for endangerment, the guy would let some of the kids steer the damn bus.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
4th through 7th grades...was mostly a fine experience
- Scoble, Alex Scoble

- VALZ/TEAM TRAVIS
Yes. Freeeeeezing cold in winter (Rochester, NY - Boulder, CO - Kent, OH). Sucked.
- Mitchell Tsai
Yes. 6-11. Wasn't the worst thing I've endured, but some of those kids were troubled, not fun to be around.
- cdogzilla | downgraded
Only 9 and part of 10 until I got my driver's license. And my stepdad drove our rural bus route, so I had no excuse for missing the bus. Never understood why he made us leave with him when he'd just be doubling back anyway.

I lived across the street from my K-8 school (in fact I still do!). Took the city bus to high school and actually commuted to college on the last remaining streetcar line for the first few weeks. City kids don't have school buses.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I did. I never had a bad experience, except once when I was in 7th grade. I was a really shy girl, and I asked this girl if I could sit next to her (there were no more seats), and she started screaming at me in front of everyone. What she didn't know was that my older sister (a popular senior) was sitting in the back. Never had to worry about her again. :)
- Shevonne
Yes from 6-12, though intermittently from 10-12 because my friend living down the street drove. Still took the bus the first few days just incase she was sick or had after school crap and I couldn't carpool. That bus ride is mostly why I'm afraid of cars. -__-

Walked K-6, Bused 7-12. It was fine if you didnt sit all the way in the back with the crack dealers.

I sat in the back with the acid dealers. Those were the bullies who didn't bully me. I actually helped one with his English homework once or twice. He said I was a better teacher than his actual teacher. Any other girl who wanted to sit back there had to wear a very short skirt and put herself on display, first. I never had to do that. I sat back there and read my horror novels.

Yellow bus K-3 (when we moved, the first day I took the bus from my new house I accidentally walked the wrong way coming home and got hopelessly lost. ended up getting picked up by the sheriffs, they were very nice), then city bus 9-12. I LOVED having a pass that would take me anywhere in the LA area, some really good memories of (a) ditching and riding all the way from Altadena to Long...

Walked from K-7 then moved. From 8-10, friends drove me in 11th and I got high by second hand smoke alone. I drove my senior year. Hated the bus, hated the early time I had to be at the stop 1/2 mile from my home.

Rode the bus intermittently throughout K-12. Both good and bad experiences...
- JA Castillo
I always road the bus or walked. It was about an hour ride once I got to GA because I was in the Magnet Program. It gave me time to read. Overall, it was pretty uneventful, but it's been well over a decade since then.
- Rahsheen?
I rode the bus (until junior year of HS, when I went to a boarding school). Usually okay, but plenty of little idiots riding who wanted to pick on me sometimes. A couple of them even spontaneously apologized as adults for being such little pricks when they were kids.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
First day of first year of junior high school (school bus). Year younger than everybody else (skipped 6th). Ratpacked by stupid older kids. After that, either rode bike (about 3 miles) or took city bus. (This *could* have something to do with my deeply introverted nature. Or not.)
- Walt Crawford
I took the bus from kindergarten through grade 3, and that was fine. I took the bus again briefly in high school, but then got threatened by another student. So I stopped taking the bus after that. The student in question was suspended for it, but a suspension is only three days. I wasn't interested in risking my life.
- Not That Rochelle
My Dad lived on a farm in rural MO when he was in elementary, but they didn't have a bus. On extremely cold or rainy days, he and a couple neighbor kids could catch a ride with the milk truck, but they had to ride squeezed in with the milk cans in the unheated pitch-black darkness of the windowless back part of the truck. Only a couple or three hours.

Found Another Reason I Don't Like Twitter: I reeeeeeeeeally enjoy correct sentence structure... My parents didn't drop a serious amount of coin on English tutors for me to kafutz in 140 characters. Spending 5 minutes rewriting two sentences because you're 3 characters over sucks balls...

We share exactly the same feelings about Twitter.
- Tom Awtry
Text messages were limited to 140 characters. Twitter was built to utilize the SMS structure. It has evolved since that time, but the limit remained.
- Heather Solos
The SMS limit is actually 160 7-bit characters, as specified in GSM 3.40 back in 1985. Twitter reserves 20 characters for your name. Many if not most phones support more now e.g. splitting longer text into multiple messages, but I think if you want to maintain compatibility with *everything* that uses SMS, you have to stick to 160.
- Ken Sheppardson
140 character limit is rubbish. Thank goodness for FriendFeed! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I actually enjoy the challenge of having to prune down a thought into grammatically correct sentences for Twitter. It's like writing a haiku.
- Akiva
+1 Akiva. It's fun trying to find just the right words and structure to say what I want to say succinctly enough for Twitter. When I really, really can't, then I switch to FriendFeed. But Twitter makes you focus on what's really important about what you want to say. If I taught composition, I'd use Twitter in my curriculum.
- Jandy
As if our vocabulary wasn't atrocious enough?? You have to wonder?
- Angels In Action
Agree with Akiva and Jandy - I initially deplored Twitter but I've found that it requires me to find the exact right words. I have to remember that I can't use adjectives or adverbs. I have occasionally resorted to abbreviations, but mostly I've learned to prune. If I want to be more wordy, I use FF.

Depressed people have a shortage of a neurotransmitter called GABA; this has also been linked to a visual skill called spatial suppression, which helps us suppress details surrounding the object our eyes are focused on - enabling us to pick out a snake in fallen leaves, for instance. Now Julie Golomb and colleagues at Yale University are trying to link this ability with major depressive disorder (MDD). Golomb asked 32 people to watch a brief computer animation of white bars drifting over a grey and black background, and say which way they were moving. A quicker response gave a higher score.

Same old excuse. "Wasn't me who dumped all those jellybeans on Atlanta - it was the Valeyard." "Wasn't me who started an intergalactic war with the Judoon - it was the Valeyard." "Wasn't me who crossconnected Skype with my TARDIS and accidentally erased the time when Bell invented the telephone - it was the Valeyard."

Yeah, and what happened? It took forever to get the earth properly reset out of the Porn Dimension. And we still haven't figured out what to do with a million sex-craving people from another dimension.
- Steven Perez
And very sore. And walking funny. And about to merge into the dimension where the Vatican and the Taliban ruled the world. So, yeah, had to fix your screw-up.

Right. Because the Doctor had no idea what he was talking about. And we had to do it without you, Miss Freaky Orgy Mistress.

Yeah, right. Not what you said back then, "Valeyard".

Right, because leaving the Master to run rampant is *****such***** a good idea. Maybe we should do that the next time the Daleks show up. "OH NOES THE DALEKS ARE GONNA BLOW UP TIME AND SPACE. Oh, well, too busy shagging eight Brazilian girls. Maybe they'll just go away if we leave them alone." Great plan.

"Totally harmless"?!? Yeah, except for that time when he killed one-tenth of the population of the earth. Or burned Japan. Or tried to kill the universe by making a Time Lord Empire? THAT Master?

Poosh? You drunken idiot, that wasn't me. And for you to assume that I ran from the Time War, as opposed to certain people who were too drunk and sexed up to fight, only proves you need to lay off the sauce.

Hey, I'm not the halfling who likes to mimic the ugly traits of other species for entertainment. And I have never regenerated into a bunneh. Again: liquor ... by half.

That much is true. You'll mimic any ugly traits from any species. That one trait you picked up on Melismajora, where they smoke curried dog meat, was really disgusting.

And there it is. Why does the universe keep falling into peril? Because Amber has to keep knocking down dimensional walls to get her drunk on.

Oh, I'm sorry, were you still going. Amber? I was busy making myself some dinner and fighting off another Auton invasion. I had no idea you were still yammering drunkenly about stuff that happened in your head.

So tell me something, O Brave Coward: how much extra does your drycleaning service charge to get those pee stains out every time you come across a Slitheen?

Yeah, I posted from it once, but it's too much of a pain for it be really useful. Last.fm integration is way more cool.

agreed, the last.fm integration is very cool

do you have to finish a level or kill some boss before you get friendfeed access?

Allen, now that would be cool!

Now if they just gave us a browser they wouldn't need to provide these Twitter/FB/etc. tools in the first place

jesse - you can get the browser, you just have to beat the louis gray boss level

ooh...there's a Louis Gray boss level?

You can't pass that level. Nobody does.

Paul Buchheit is talking about the evolution of e-mail at TechCrunch's Real-time Crunchup now. http://www.building43.com/realtim...

He says: E-mail is good for a few things, but it is too private for some things. E-mail is too specific, and I might want people to join in.
- Louis Gray
E-mail has a history that is more like filling out forms. (Subject example) On Twitter, Facebook, whatever, people write out a sentence (probably don't include vowels)...
- Louis Gray
(Paul on integration of chat/wall/email in Facebook) It is important to recognize these are different forms of communication. Is this public? Private? Who did this come from? If you take e-mail and IM, people know how it behaves, and you have to be careful if you change how those behave in a big way.
- Louis Gray
Methinks FF is the way to go. Email does need to move on.
- τorƍue
Paul: I think e-mail in the large part needs to go away in my opinion. The perfect email is the Amazon shipping notification. I get it and don't have to do anything about it, just hit archive.
- Louis Gray
Paul: I've come to realize I just get too much e-mail and people are always asking for things and they often use a lot of words. Things like Twitter encourage people to not use many words and I don't have to click to open it and ignore it. Email has some fundamental problems, because it's not a technical problem, it's a matter of social norms. People think I am going to respond, and you can get buried in your e-mail. You can spend half a day and it's not a good way to live.
- Louis Gray
Paul: Email has this expectation that it will just keep piling up until you take care of it all and that is a fundamental flaw.
- Louis Gray
Paul: E-mail is not going to go away until the robots kill us all.
- Louis Gray
Paul: If you get a message in your FB in box, you get an email. Same thing on FF if you get a DM you get an email. But it's not the same as an e-mail. It's shorter.
- Louis Gray
Paul (on FriendFeed): It is going to be around next week/month/year. (Not sure if he is authorized to say due to FB masters)
- Louis Gray
Paul: There is a lot going on at FB. It's a complex company. The FF team is working on a couple of infrastructure projects that will enable a lot of cool new things.
- Louis Gray
Paul: A lot of what goes on in the real time systems is what's going on right now. If I don't respond to IMs until the end of the day, it stops working. I can do that with e-mail.
- Louis Gray
Paul: One of the real weaknesses with email is that it does get buried. We tried to fix that with GMail with search so you could find it. One of the things about the Web is that everything has a URL and can be shared. E-mails don't have URLs.
- Louis Gray
Paul: HAS NOT TRIED GOOGLE WAVE
- Louis Gray
Paul: I am very interested to see where Wave goes. I am very interested in the long term. When you have that many new ideas and that many new innovations it takes time to sand off the corners to make it usable. It will probably take a few years to get people comfortable to using it every day.
- Louis Gray
Paul: Wave is not a competitor to Twitter and Facebook. (Not a competitor to Friendfeed despite what Steve Gillmor says) It breaks down when you get too many people involved. My guess is the sweet spot is as a group collaboration tool.
- Louis Gray
Paul: I definitely think that (Google Chrome OS) is the direction of the future. It is a much nicer way of working. Having data stranded on a machine somewhere is kind of archaic. I like the model of everything being in GMail, accessible anywhere.
