I myself have often hit on lesbian girls.

Once she only told me after three dates…

Everyone has problems, the only way out is settling…

The only way to meet a nice girl is to actually go out and do stuff in places where there might be nice girls. Mail order brides and stuff like that isn't neccesary if you're active enough. And don't worry, there's no such thing as the one, almost anyone is so desperate for love that they'll settle.
This cheerfull message was brought to you by Kroatz.
Not to mention that the one is usually the wrong one.
Dating agencies.
don't dismiss it, a friend of mine is good looking intelligent and social yet has trouble getting dates. Dating agencies have helped him a lot.

What would be the minimum needed to make this forum ok to post on again?
Personally I'm thinking Just plain white instead of dark yellow where the text is displayed, and black text instead of blue.
And no more silly javascript text editor- it really IS utterely uneeded and you can post without it if Java is turned off, so it doesn't have to be here: it renders text differently to how it shows up anyway, which is worse than doing without simple editing functions because you really have no idea what your post will look like.

Is it not possible for the designer to just have an alt (black and white - high contrast) CSS option for the forums? Just set a cookie or at most another INT 1/0 field in the user table.

That would, I imagine, please the accessibilty squealers too.

You'd think. :(
Personally, I think the default needs to be black and white, not the option. The option can be what we have now.
Hehe, problems with geting forum posts just so are nothing compared to trying o use the Admin panel. It's really a mercy that the site ISN'T more active at this stage.

Well, finally updated Magiversity. I wonder if that tool that lets users know when a comic has been updated still works… somehow I doubt it.

The only thing they need to change about this forum is just switching the colors of the light yellow and the dark yellow. Black on yellow is actually the kind of combination that has the best readability.
.
I would like the forums to have constantly changing colors. Monday is spiderman blue and red, tuesdag is deadpool black and red, wednesday is batman black (Wednesdays nobody can read the forums). thursday is hulk purple and green, Friday is punisher black and white, Saturday is Fantastic four (Or future foundation) blue, and then finally sunday is daredevil red and yellow.
.
Wouldn't that be awesome?

I'm trying to work out what the best theme for DD in this state should be:
-1. Survivors of a zombie apocalypse.
-2. Red Dwarf, Season 1, after Lister wakes up to find that he's the only human left alive.
-3. Mad Max 3, Beyond Thunderdome, where the survivors fight for megre resources in what's left of the ruins of society. :)

Aren't you supposed to improve the mood instead of being negative about everything?

Ooh, can it be a Twilight Zone theme? There are like a hundred post-apocalyptic/only-human-left episodes. And then every time I post I can hum the theme song. I think that would be good motivation for posting.

Speaking of old sci-fi, I've started watching the original Star Trek series. I was hooked after about two episodes. Love it.




I think I'm going to be lonely come autumn - I work just about every evening, while my dad and little sister are off at work/school during the day. I'll only really see them on Saturdays.

I feel “homesick” for my holiday life back in the states. In order to counteract this pervasive and debilitating nostalgia I'm going to try and ratchet up my comic making in order to distract my mind away from it. :)
Hopefully that should get me back to making stuff again, now that I have a lot less to do at DD!

Uh, oh… well… I guess I shouldn't say anything if a fanservice Pinky T.A. comic shows up where she's going on the same vacation her creator went to. :)

I've been floating between here and the other site recently, much like a few others I notice.
This isn't really the place for it but I have mentioned it on get satisfaction before.

Forum colours, altough i am managing to tolerate them, just.
Lack of mail alerts, or is it quack alerts.
Updates in general, it is very easy to miss comics updating.
Stats, or lack of.
Overall i fell less connected with the readers now, it is harder it interact with them.

How did you get aline break in there?
That other site must have a more actove community too or else I'm sure at least some more people'd still be here… Unless they've all gone off to facebook, twitter, google+ etc.
Anyway, yeah, those things need fixing here badly.

I've had a cold since I got back from the USA, it's STILL not better. Very sore throat. Sometimes it gets a bit better, other times it's bad, like now. Soooo tired and weak.

It's about 12 hours until the anticipated first pint of the weekend.

Now, I'm toying with the idea of a Guiness, but I might go with a Hobgoblin.

I hope that means they are hard at work fixing all the problems already pointed out to them.

Welcome back Oz to DD. I can't say welcome home, because you are home as opposed to on holiday even though your holiday took you close to my home.

Sorry I couldn't make it but I got the message exactly in time to have run out of my house to try to get there which wasn't happening as I was looking at my email in my underwear after rolling out of bed.


And now my employer has really bad timing. You see if I don't fill in for the guy constantly calling out no one can. I'm not going to be manipulated like that. Get another person, kiddies that's leadership, not calling my sorry ass every day to cover for some dope who shouldn't be working anymore and doesn't tell anyone he's not cming in until the last possible moment.
So I have to just drop my entire life because you don't have the good sense to make proper contingency plans? Oh wait I'm the contingency plan? Sorry but that ain't good enough because I lose all respect for an employer who can't plan past 1+1=1. Something is wrong there…
Imagine my having the gumption to make plans to spend time with my family rather than dropping everything the moment I get a phone call to come in.

Thanks Bravo and Lothar :)

Actually New York felt a lot like home. The people were way nicer in LA (and especially San Diego) and a bit in New Orleans, but NY city really did feel very homely and comfortable for some reason.

Most people I came across daily in New York mostly were non-native new Yorkers and they were the grumpiest, sour faced, rude people! Whereas native New Yorkers tend to be ok people- not as immediately helpful and NOT openly gregarious as West Coast Americans, but still nice enough and quite polite when you approach and talk to them, generally.

Most New York taxi drivers are either Indian or African and almost none of them know the city. As a tourist from outside the country you find yourself knowing the streets better, routinely having to direct these non-English speaking taxi drivers via Google maps with your GPS enabled smart-phone because they don't have a freaking clue where on earth they are or what country they're in. At least it seems that way.

Interestingly, the typical facial expression of the resident but non-native New Yorker is best described as “I-can-smell-shit-right-under-my-nose”, at all times. It's almost always a pose though since you can make them smile and grin pretty easily.

Ack! Just had a very bad dream. I saw a girl with a mustdache wearing a monicle and a top hat… and it wasn't OFAV. Worse… she's one of the adminds for TD!!! Her name? OzoneMunkee…

I don't know what my brain is making, but I get dreams like this when I run out of coffee. O_O
