    you silly old man!
    I don't stand a chance against your line
    but still... BRING IT ON! I'm back to flogging my node and crossing my fingers and hoping to GOD that it works. C'mon node!!! Stop SUCKING! Maybe i should sod my router's uptime and give her a reboot
    BRING IT!!!

    Honestly, it's not a question of motivation... its some issues i have with the node software, namely its recently craptacular performance and loving to crashness.

    Wink Just thought about this

    Mebbe the person in question had a call from a cable company
    Or mebbe he's just not paying attention / caring?

    P.S.: as long as you'll be coming by, can you pick up a case of Chocolove 70% cocoa & drop it off when you pass by

    That's ok, I forgive him. He's young and will learn.
    He's also a good guy, smart enough to know all my teasing was with a smile.
    I know it's hard to see the smile hidden away in the gray beard but it's there

    I too believe in him, and i know that the hair around the mouth is hiding a big smile.

    Let him eat the pie...shall we.

    Bloody, I have off from my sport tomorrow, so if you pm me your MJ12 settings (everything except personal) I'll help you get more. What version are you using? The 1.3.2 Beta 3 should be coming out soon.

    thanks moddo, but this is a score i need to settle with our senior citizen one on one

    but ooh, beta 2; i just realized i was on beta 1 maybe this'll improve things...

    and yes grandpa, all teasing is done with a smile

    bit of an update: beta 2 appears to be doing the trick so far... 30k in 18 minutes with bandwidth usage numbers in the range of "high"
    this'll be a war of attrition grandpa, and i think i can outlast you




    ...even if i do owe you 23M

    (sound of hatches being buttoned down, barrel of the Abrams being swung around for less wind resistance and throttles jammed to the floor!)
    I'll drop this off to you in a few days so you can clean off the tank tracks!
    oops. Your almost 100 million ahead! Will take more than a few days!
    Here's current scores so we can keep track of "The Rundown!"

    though i am in no uncertain terms doomed in this contest, i'm strongly enjoying being back in the 3M production range and also, more importantly, enjoying that its not getting me very much pie rock on team!

    Bloody, just join the collective err machine, with our combined powers we might be able to take down the current daily ruling overlord. Hoping to push 2 mil out of my comcraptastic 5mbit line, I get jammed up with uploading the barrels too slowly, I need Fios badly.
