Grumble grumble stupid upgrade grumble

Since Proboards is being, as Kitty used to say, sizely, I'm just going to natter here.

Besides, here I can post my candidates of choice (hee) from that weird ABC Pick Your Candidates Quiz.

Some of their questions are a mite too specific, or possibly leading, especially the last one. I mean, having to choose experience in either the House or Senate? I think either would be helpful.

So anyway, mine were as follows:

1) Kucinich
2) Biden
3) Gravel

I'm amused. Apparently, I'm a flaming leftwinger idealist. Thinking realistically, either of the first two would make a great president, but neither has a hope in frozen hell of winning, so I wouldn't actually vote for them.

Strangely enough, those were mine, too- I still say they need "prefers leaders with the ability to understand information and act on it" and "cannot tolerate idealistic idiots" questions. Not to mention that I've read past the first sentence of Kucinich's position papers and his ideas don't agree with mine.

Julia, stupid quiz, anyway, although not as stupid as Proboards.

I think it's a typical online quiz - no nuances. Silly, but not actually useful. Your questions are much more sensible.

Emily got the same three, by the way. I am so unsurprised.

Stupid Proboards. What is it with server 48 anyway?

Spiders, no doubt, or possibly cosmic rays, or cruel fate.

I'm betting on spiders, though. I looked up into a bathroom light fixure yesterday and there's a HUGE egg sack right next to the bulb- poked it with a broom, no luck, so now I've got to rally the troops to bring the stepladder in before the thing hatches.

Julia, also, Proboards almost certainly needed to stop selling new accounts a year or so ago, as their support board is cluttered with evidence of scaling problems

Scaling problems? So, in addition to spiders, they have a mineral buildup? Nothing would surprise me.

Seriously, I know what you mean, I think. What doesn't make any sense? The servers the daughters' forums are on seem to have none of the problems we do.

I love your flower photos, by the way.

The S3 board is down AGAIN? Whoa.

[anne_d]

Yes, Proboards is repairing server 48. Again.

Hey, it's good to see you. How've you been?
