Back to the Future III tonight. Had to re-watch the trilogy again this week of course.
You guys should play the game, it is pretty good. Liesl says that she is not sure if she likes the movie more or the game.

I think that we might be in need of some more rain here, the water supply is at a trickle.

I'm amazed at how many people don't read the responses to posts on SW and just post things after a problem has been solved.

Last night I think Canada went a little over board - would have liked a Liberal minority better. However, Harper is gone & we are all thankful.

Why would they spend time reading responses when there are points to be made and they can be made fastest by posting without reading? And if you post an answer that already exists you easily have a 5 - 10% chance of getting the best answer points anyway.
Since the game there is points, not the conversation, you get behaviour based around the points rather than around the conversation. Gamification cannot be easily discounted. Even people who are not aware of why they are doing stuff are often making points-based or badge-based behaviour decisions subconsciously.

I never thought of it that way. Must be why I hardly have any points ha.

Is it just me or has the post quality on SW fallen off a cliff?
I don't often see any threads with huge numbers of helpful replies either.

LOOK AT THIS GARBAGE!
How is this the product of a remotely serious company.
It'll take me as long to remove all the goop as it would have to do a clean install. I am sad panda.

Thinking about walking up to the grocery store.

Just finished configuring a ownCloud 8.2 fileserver on my XenServer test lab. I've been on Team Pydio for a while but I can't stop thinking about how much easier it's going to be for people besides myself to use ownCloud's interface.
-
We updated to the latest patch of 8.1 a week ago, so not moving to 8.2 quite yet.
