Did you cheat or did you do it the old fashioned way.

Congrats btw from those of us who didn't get past the order screen.

I just used the old fashioned furious F5 method...and the order screens went perfectly. I also remembered to put in my 3-digit CC code (I usually forget that).

Good for you! I tried that on the mac, but I had the order screen half loaded on my PC before I could get the mac to show me the I want one! so I went with the PC. Still no love, but I'm really happy you can still do it the old fashioned way!

thanks.
Normally I try to have 2 browsers (IE and FF) running and just go with the one that opens the order page first. So far it's always FF that wins. IE seems to always get the "Gateway Timeout". Not sure if that is coincidence or what...

Another sign for me that Random scaffolding was coming was the VP of my company calling me moments before it came up. Seems to be the only time he calls me. I still took his call while trying to get the order placed. I'm surprised I was still successful.

I love the important business call while crapping! I've been there too. I was using Safari on the mac, FF on the TV (which did load the order screen, but it was Orc's account and he was using it from work) and Opera on my PC. I had the images off on Opera, but it wasn't enough.

Funny thing about what you said...the reason why he called me was to tell me he dropped his cell phone in the toilet and needed a replacement. Not kidding.

arcsus wrote:I've never tried turning images off in FF, but I used to shut animations off because they drove me nuts. I think it's mostly luck to get to the order page...then a bit of skill to confirm the order quickly, then luck again to get past the "processing order" page to the "you're all set" page.

What an all important call! Although I hear that is a really common thing.

I agree with your assessment.

It could be, but he is the first person to admit it to me. I manage over 50 mobile phones, and occasionally people will water-damage their phone. Usually they have a story about dropping it in a puddle or their kids spilling milk on it. Who knows if they are lying or telling the truth. One guy dropped his in a lake once, but got it out before it sank. Another guy dropped his on someone's private property while mushroom hunting and didn't realize it. The property owner found it and traced it back to us and gave me a good verbal lashing over the phone about keeping my employees off his property.

heh, we were just discussing a new gated area at coffee break. Our researchers had to pay $100 to get keys to get through this gate and the group put up big rocks on either side of gate to keep out 4-wheelers. My boss found one of the rocks rolled out of the way within a week of the gate being installed, later he saw 4 guys on 4-wheelers. None of them would look up for fear of being caught.

gah. hate the freaking 4-wheeler crowd. Just because you can take a vehicle some places doesn't mean you should. and just because someone hasn't explicitly told you not to drive there does not give you permission to tear everything up with impunity.

I agree. I can't say it's just the 4-wheeler's either. My first day of "work" with the forest service was planting saplings to keep motorcyclists out of an area. There were signs posted, but no one was respecting them. I seriously wonder how many of those little trees survived.

Every group has their abusers, if it wasn't for them, all of these groups would be a lot more fun!

Time to bring them to the park.

Kid + kid park = quiet kid at home

Wow. U R psychic. Wife took them to the park. So I'm actually home, music is on, grading away.

After that's over, gotta write 2 lectures. Then playtime. So I am closing down the computer so I can concentrate.

yay for Mrs. Tek. I have a full day planned for the versions this afternoon. It's been snowing since last night, so if they nap now and wake up before it's dark they can go play in the snow, then we are going to roll and cut out sugar cookies (made the dough last night).

It makes me very paranoid that you're going into other folks' posts and correcting your own grammar.

Please do something about the "l33tspeak" posts...

Lowers my impression of Seth Green-

Review of Old Dogs.

Note- SPOILERS

Warning ending

Two best friends who run an extremely profitable marketing business and who also hate children are turned into moronic jackasses when one of them discovers he has twins he's never met. See, the overindulged brats' mom--who quickie-married Robin Williams on a whim seven years ago--never bothered to tell the guy that he knocked her up. Hence, some kids. Also, mom's going to jail for a couple weeks (yes, really) so can Robin and John babysit and make up for all that lost parenting time? Sure they can. Then random incidents like camping trips and remote-controlled human puppet tea parties and gorillas molesting Seth Green take place to fill time until the end comes when the grown-ups learn a lesson about how to be parents by doing every single thing their kids want and ignoring that hugely successful business. Hugs all around.

I don't know what to tell you, this is the first year Orc and I have been to the movies since the kids were born. I don't even really keep up with what's coming out anymore. . . well other than the ultra cool stuff like Tron. . . . but that's not out yet.
