Thursday Afternoon Open Thread

Good afternoon. Hope your day is coming along nicely and that you had time for a nice lunch.

This is Cooking with the Dog. Just the title should tell you how awesome it is.

Have a great afternoon.

Important Announcement! Word Press and Intense Debate are the target of DDos attacks today. There are probably going to be some outages, but hopefully they will get it under control soon. Courage!

Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning. Hope you are ready for a good day. Here’s something to get you started, you damn hippies.

This is why I stay out of Washington Square Park.

Have a great day.

Guys IntenseDebate seems to be a little slower than normal today. Please don’t close the window and re-open it, refresh it, etc. Just please wait a second or two. THANKS! And keep jamming up the internet with the gospel of crasstalk. The honeybagder will be benevolent and eat some pit vipers, so we don’t have to deal with them!

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!
