Applause, applause!

Software, it's Geek art.

BTW: Don't make the questions too hard. That would be unfair to Progressives and other illiterates.

Well??!?!??

WHICH IS IT????

I been in water that was wet AND blue. (This was in Fiji.)

Water in the Hudson river is brown and greasy. That one's easy.

Thank you, Amy. I was about to ask, after my last drop kick, if you would please do something about this. I mean, it's reached the point where I get knocked into your spam folder without even a single link in my posts.

I hope this new system will solve my problem. It's like "Press 1 for English." English should be the default. I shouldn't have to email you for not even posting a single link.

Comments seem to be going through now. Phew! Yay, Gregg.

(He's working on the spam challenge module now.)

Hello from the great northwest!

Hello! Phew! Comments seem to be going through fine again. If there are comments that have gone to spam, I'll rescue when Gregg is between site rebuilds.

Everybody beat me to it, but I hope there won't be any cryptic questions!

Fiji? Only been there in my dreams. Boracay's nice, if you get a chance to get out there.

does this mean we can stop singing the spam song now? :devil: Is there a beer fund set up? We wouldn'a want Gregg to get thirsty now ;)

There are more fun questions than the ones that are in. This was supposed to be "People drive to work in cars or pirates?" but Gregg is practical and is just trying to fix things.

And he's been wonderful about -- working for four and a half hours straight on this today.

I mean the question in the comment challenge below.

testing again...

Eric, did you use the comment challenge to get through just then? There's a comment from you 17 minutes ago that's in my spam folder and I need to know if you used the comment challenge on that?

Gregg says I can't rescue it yet because of the rebuilding he's doing, but I will -- have to rescue all from spam, even test comments.

If it did go to spam with comment installed, may have been because the rebuild wasn't done.

Are you going to charge them $10k for every spam comment? :-)

Yes, I put in the wrong answer first (what does a stop sign say) and it got booted into your spam content. It just said testing. Everything seems to be working well!

This is interesting, does the software have a learning curve so that after a certain number of correct answers from the same IP it stops asking questions

Amy, could you ask Gary Taubes if he'll come up with a nutritional plan for people who work out? A person who works out has depleted glycogen stores in the muscles worked, and they need to be replenished quickly. I get the feeling that a three strips of bacon is not going to cut it.

So, please, while I think Gary Taubes is wise and wonderful for exposing the myths associated with nutrition, he should bear in mind that some people, whether or preference or necessity, would like to be more active than just waving our arms frantically as we remind everyone, "You shouldn't exercise! That only makes you hungry!"

Some of us enjoy our bikes, lifting weights, etc. Instead of just telling to remain as active as the garden slug, he ought to address the nutritional needs of people who work out.

Oh, yay! It works! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Take a bow, Gregg!

Just testing.

It just asked me the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Is that an African or European swallow?

JFTR: It tossed me into the spam bin when I gave the wrong answer, so that part worked. I am now testing the correct answer.

Whaddya call a Filipino contortionist?

A Manila Folder!

Actually, stop signs 'south of the border' say 'ALTO'

!!

My wife wanted something for her birthday that goes from 0 to 200 in six seconds. I gave her a bathroom scale.

Please, please, please don't play games with it. I am on deadline today and I have to go in and rescue those comments that go to spam -- all of them -- or your IP will be considered to be a spammer.

Sorry, I am a software geek. I always appreciate it when people test new software to see if they can break it.

Does that mean it will actually remember personal info now?

Testing, testing.

Nope. Darn it.

Congratulations on the change! Assuming it does stop spam, it looks a great tool against false positives.

"Actually, stop signs 'south of the border' say 'ALTO'"

No, they do not. They do not say anything. You have to read them.

A Manila Folder!

*groan*

Really, Crid??

o.O

Whaddya call a homosexual midget?

Sweet 'N Low!

Just got back from dinner- a woman came up and asked me if I was Richard Lewis. Not sure if I should be depressed...

Amy,

Hopefully you'll give Gregg his March 14th gift early and repeat on March 14th. >:-)>

"Actually, stop signs 'south of the border' say 'ALTO'"

No, they do not. They do not say anything. You have to read them.

Touché. But what if you can't read Spanish?

Just so you know. The only question I get is the stop sign question. If it is supposed to present a selection of questions randomly, it is not.

Does anybody else have their "personal info" remembered?

Mine doesn't no matter what browser I use (and this is across more than 5 systems.)

It remembers it for the preview - and that's it.

I'm just so glad it isn't a captcha, I have to try 4 or 5 times to find one I can read and the vocal ones I can't understand.

"A person who works out has depleted glycogen stores in the muscles worked, and they need to be replenished quickly. " Patrick

My son is a wrestler and needs to be lean, strong and have plenty of energy. We've tweaked his diet to suit his exercise level and have found that he does not need a lot of carbs before or after exercise but he definitely needs some.

He felt weak and sick when his carb level was too low with the intensity of the practices.

For him, he moved his biggest meal to lunch time. He has a protein shake for breakfast with at least 30-40 grams of protein. He has a snack in his last period at school that is like 8-10 ounces of juice and two graham crackers, two servings (according to the label) of animal crackers or a couple of large rice cakes. Not all those, just juice and one type of carb.

Practice is about an hour and a half later and he has plenty of energy.

He also has 8-10 ounces of juice immediately after practice, too.

Neither the pre or post workout snacks has any fat to speak of. This makes it easier digest and be more quickly converted to energy to fuel or replenish muscles.

He has smallish portions of other carbs, but they are mostly fruits, vegetables and occasional corn ships w/salsa, mini bagels or sandwich thins. This works great for him. He's at about 8% body fat still strong.

Dinner is usually something like a chicken drumstick and a bowl of steamed broccoli and a glass of milk.

The type and intensity of your workouts will drive the nutritional needs. Plus you still have to play with it to get what works best for your particular system.

With my son, we've discovered when he eats is as important as what he eats. The right stuff at the wrong time hurts his performance.

I'm noticing that, using Firefox, I get the same question every time.
