Elisabeth - Cute Christmas pic. Interesting outfits. Stay warm.

Katie - Feeling the chill? Must've been windy that day. Nice smile.

Robin - Cool sunglasses. Bright smile. Very nice.

Candace - So photogenic. Great smile. Feeling the warmth.

Blondie - That pic looks great, makes you look ten years younger (23?).

Christie - Great smile as always. Chris has really aged though.

BB casting into the cattails of the interwebz again. I wonder if he'll get any nibbles.

 

[Boone]

I don't get it. But hey, I'm always a half step behind

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Ping initially brings two false returns. That happens sometimes.

 

[renaissance]

LOL, ummmm BB are you being a creeper??? It was an ugly sweater party

 

[Burgundy Burner]

I'd like to have one if you have a spare. My daughter's bday is next month.

I don't get it either...although my guess is that he's taking facebook stalking to a whole new level, and posting about it on another internet venue. You're supposed to keep those things private, BB!

 

[Burgundy Burner]

A lecture in a completely fun thread? Let's not take things to another place's level. Now, if I had some sort of rep, then...but I don't. If I want to be abused, I'll go back to other places.

Well, this thread is now ruined.

<Sigh>

What is Ping? Are you all talking about the iTunes thing? I have no idea what it is or how it works. Any help?

 

[Burgundy Burner]

When you "ping" on a computer, you are looking for the presence of an active connection to another computer, a device, a network, etc. In this manner of humor, I was "pinging" them and looking for a response to see if they are "out there somewhere".

 

[Goaldeje]

Oh. I feel dumb now, thanks.

Is that like a ping on sonar for submarines? And yes, the only reason I know about this at all is due to Red October.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Dumb? Nah. It was a good question.

On subs, or anything that uses sonar, pinging can serve as a form of communication, navigation, or locating something.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Mike, I'm sure that you have some (if not all) that are listed as friends.

I KNEW it was facebook stalking!

 

[riggins44]

No one stalked the pic of my snow covered grill.

 

[servumtuum]

I'm gonna start calling this the Quentin Tarrantino thread. :kick_can:

seems to me they had ICMP blocked! Get any "host unreachable" feedback?....
