Tuesday Sleepy Time Thread

Well, it’s about time to turn in (unless you are part of Crasstalk EU, then get a pint for me). Hope you had a wonderful day. Get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow.

A special thanks to all of you. The last two days have been the busiest on Crasstalk ever. It has been an honor to serve with you.

Tuesday Evening Open Post

Hello Crasstalk. Wonderful as always to see you all here. It’s been an exciting day and hopefully we will have a fun night together. A couple of servicey reminders. First, if you are new, here is a handy guide to commenting on Crasstalk. Now if you could just take off your clothes so we can see what we’ve got here (sorry, I will seek help). Second, please pimp us on the social media thingies on the page so that we may storm to victory on the internets.

Also, take a look at this (thanks EPuff).

 

 
Have a great night.
 

AM Drive Time Open Thread

Wake up! It’s time to face the day and deal with whatever nonsense modern existence throws at us today. At least we have each other. We have had a lot of new folks join us over the last couple days, so please make them feel welcome and help them out if they have questions. Here’s some drive time music to get you going today.

Have a great day!

Good Morning. I’m sharing a really simple, easy to use Firefox plug-in this morning with you guys. Its called BrowserCheck and checks your web browser to make sure it is secure and all of your software is up-to-date. You can find it here: https://browsercheck.qualys.com/ You install the plug-in, it runs a scan, then if anything is out of date just click the “fix” button and it will automagically download new updates for you. (You’ll still have to run the updates once they’re downloaded.) If you’re using the interwebz to do anything related to commerce, definitely check it out. Its a really good step in the right direction for protecting your computer. (This plugin works for Mac OSX too. You guys also need to be protected!) Have a nice day!

Monday Late Night Open Thread

Hello there! Hope you all had a wonderful day. I noticed a lot of new faces today and I want to welcome all of you. It’s great to see you here. Please take a moment to meet Honey Badger our beloved mascot.

 

Please help us spread the word about Crasstalk by using the social networking do-hickies on the site and telling your friends we are here.

Glad all of you are here. It is an honor to serve with you.

Victory!
