Well Dan, you are one of the unsung heros around here.Originally Posted by (danb @ April 08 2008, 10:34)
I work in "infrastructure" myself, and nobody notices when everything works right. If you do your job 100% perfectly, you are entirely invisible.
Hats off to you. When ever I have had trouble with the mechanics and response of this site, it was operator error.
Ya I wasn't really meaning specifically the cafe. Its just convenient to use as an example. The responses are about what I figured with some stuff I didn't really know. Thanks all you computer guys
By the way Daniel, real men use a simple text editor to write code. Keep that in mind
Actually, I'm sure smarter people than me use some sort of code generating program, I'm just too stupid to use anything other than notepad.

Funny story behind that sig, so far I've only ever told it to Scott.
I was playing in an Irish session that ventured into my favorite territory, the "lock in". This dates back a ways to when UK pubs had to close around 10:30 or 11, and the landlord would then close the blinds, lock the front door, and declare that it was now a "private party". This is the holy grail of the Irish Jam, the bar's closed, the punters are mostly gone, and it's time for more tunes.
Anyway, we were rolling nicely along on one of these, and I was playing a friend's tenor banjo. A very drunk young lady and her boyfriend were supposed to be leaving, at the landlord's insistence, after a few too many general annoyances of some sort.
The boyfriend gave up and finally left so he wouldn't risk the wrath of the landlord, a not insignificantly built chap. It was her turn to leave. The girlfriend decided to leap on my lap at this point and shout "KEEP ME SAFE, BANJO MAN!!!"
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Dan, not married eh?

I can't be blamed for the affect the tenor banjo has on the mentally impaired
That's a good story and worthy of being a signature line.

Does it date back as far as this?

Oh, I'd say it's gonna take a lot more than knowing html or Dreamweaver.

I can tell - this sticks in your mind like treacle in a computer keyboard, especially since I was a youngster when I watched this on TV some 35 years ago. When I read Dan's story it was the first picture to surface in my head. It will probably stay in yours forever
