That is real maple syrup too, the genuine stuff. One of the benefits of living up in the northeast US is that we are in the midst of maple country so getting maple syrup is easy. Even in most of the US maple syrup is hard to get.

In Texas it's like $180 a bottle. (Exaggerating a bit, but it's true.)

So I have pagination enabled.

bad thing: I have to scroll to the bottom of a page to nav to the next page.

I agree, I just switched it back. It doesn't seem to be that bad when it scrolls down to where you were before.

I just want to make sure that the WebDev team knows that we are pointing issues out...out of love thanks for all of your hard work! and keep up the mangos

Love the colors by the way haha, just wanted to drop in and say that.

Thanks so much guys, the NodeBB is fantastic!

Haha I don't want to ruin the surprise but I'm very excited. We're working with ~40k sq feet and a small office right now. The new facility is much bigger with a lot more bells and whistles. It's great to see us come this far.

We're going to have convertible sit/stand desks at our new facility; I'll post some pictures once we get settled in next month!

That will be cool.

I'm actually really pumped, I'll post some pictures of our new facility as well... I don't think they'd get the same appreciation on my Facebook haha.

@dashrender They all limit bandwidth, or are very slow in my area. It's really not the end of the world I can still stream shows and such, but it's either download, stream, game, OR work/internet.

Looks a lot like Splunk but hosted as SaaS. Only 200MB/day and only a week of retention but could be really interesting. Splunk is such a pain to maintain on its own.

This is REALLY neat, thanks for this I'm going to look at it more in depth later.

I do wonder when the country in general will have ubiquitous gig internet access? I hazard a guess that 'high' speed is pretty ubiquitous, just not THAT high speed.

I'm on the very, very back end of the central/west ATT hub in Houston, and I get 0.3-1.5 megs when friends a few blocks over get 35 megs. It's insane.

These systems are OLD, and I've heard horror stories in other as well where the old back-ends just can't support advertised speeds.

I'm just here for the glitter.

Really though welcome aboard @jimmy-t nice to see you!

@scottalanmiller Honestly I wasn't involved when we were looking at them; looks like Amazon has them for $275 on the small one.

Note: Called the Vari-Desk.

I am getting a new mount for my monitors that I can raise and lower easily so I might thing about a small stand for my keyboard mouse so I can change back and forth. Might be worth it.

We were on the verge of getting the Versa-Desks for that; a little chunky but might be worth looking into!

Yes. Lots of good technology in there. Dream cast was awesome too.

Do you remember the fish-man game? I was never sure whether I really enjoyed that.

Speaking of DreamCast i was addicted to Soul Caliber for the longest time.

With Leonard Nimoy. How could I forget? That thing was insane.

I had to Wiki that... He was the NARRATOR. That makes it 1000x better.

Webroot comes with milk, cookies and snuggles.

I am late to the party - I think I'd go with any vendor that offers this combo.

Have you seen our monkey?

I should point out that thus far, I've not see any problems like this here. ML is really a great community. But as we grow, the need for this will increase so I am just being proactive.

Even if these aren't a fresh read per-se, it's nice to have some of these gems come over to ML.

@scottalanmiller said:

I kinda miss the LAN party stuff. It was very social.

I agree. I feel back then it was very in-person socializing and there's a lot of "Find me on Facebook/LinkedIn" nowadays.

@scottalanmiller said:

I know, I haven't thought about this stuff in nearly a decade.

Wow... I think that might actually be literal. This was 2013-ish right? Makes me want to get a case of Bawls and go to a Starcraft party.

@Dashrender said:

I use firefox everywhere - I can't bring myself to use Chrome I'd miss the addons I have - and I really don't want to give more to google (no real logical arguement - just don't want to)

Understandable, but have you thought of moving over? (Off topic) I jumped on the Google bandwagon awhile ago and haven't looked back.
