And very detrimental to the chances of wooing cute girls ;)

generally I find I blush when someone says something nice to me - you are right, I am not prudish or anything like that - I don't blush at risque jokes or whatever - just compliments
2006-06-17 16825, 2006
Nyght
I disagree!
2006-06-17 16837, 2006
Nyght
exactly.
2006-06-17 16842, 2006
Joan_W
nice girls like blushes - it tells them that you are not too sure of yourself
2006-06-17 16801, 2006

Funny thing is, Joan_W, I'm terribly arrogant when it comes to personal ability.
2006-06-17 16808, 2006
slaad
Although, less so lately.

You hold very good company. :) My grandma was the only other person that seemed to have that fine line of .. perfect lady.

(and she was also the only other adult to drink a blowjob (it's a drink people) without her hand and in the glasses I had to serve them in! )
2006-06-17 16835, 2006
Joan_W
nothing wrong with that - my mother always used to tell me that if I did not have a good opinion of myself, how could I expect others to have a good opinion of me
2006-06-17 16845, 2006
slaad
I'm hoping you're talking about Joan_W and not me, Nyght ;)

slaad, yes most of that was to Joan, sorry. I should've directed it.
2006-06-17 16834, 2006
Nyght
slaad, I always appreciated a male that could blush without getting all befuddled about it.

I know, I was just being facetious.

I've read you can wash a keyboard, but you've got to be really sure that it's dry before you plug it back in...

we had another keyboard in the office so I used that and let the other one dry out. When it was completely dry and you couldn't tell what had happened, I called the IT department and told them it wouldn't work and they never did find out it had an unexpected bath

That's true Martin. Let it dry out a day afterwards. (washing trhe keyboard)
2006-06-17 16844, 2006
Nyght
you can wash anything electronic, as long as there's no charge, and it's thoroughly dry before charge goes through... (also do it with purified water if you can.)

I wash my hardware with a rag on a stick
2006-06-17 16836, 2006

If there are that many pages for possible deletion, there must be as many that are okay. Hardly user friendly

how in god's name do they expect a new user to read through that lot and, at the end of it all, to what purpose.
2006-06-17 16825, 2006
Joan_W
all a new user has to know are the basic of correct editing - maybe a bit over simplistic - but they are just not interested in reams and reams of instructions
2006-06-17 16828, 2006
MartinRudat
well, some of it is summaries of what's been discussed on the mailing lists, some of it is documentation linked/copied to by the server.
2006-06-17 16809, 2006
Joan_W
but - is there an index to guide you around or do you have to be intuitive and try to guess the name of a wiki page
2006-06-17 16813, 2006
MartinRudat
...there's quite a few pages of discussion about what needs to be done to the wiki, plans for the software, user pages, ...
2006-06-17 16837, 2006
MartinRudat
there are quite a few indexes, I'm not really sure how useful they all are, though.
