Hello all :-D

I've noticed the progress bar has moved since h2g2 became completely unavailable earlier.

Do you think that in traditional manner it will shoot up to 90% and then stay there for 5 weeks...?

(I hope not)

[Mrs Zen]

Of course not! 42 days is 6 weeks, after all....

<run>

Its was a third of the way across before. I measured it. See what happens when you take my h2 away from me.

[Rev Nick]

I'm wondering if it be similar to thermometer graphs used for charity funds ... When it hits full and beyond, it explodes a load of Babel-fish or something

[Haragai - U14769281]

It's been 26 hours. Only 16 more to go, assuming the move would take 42 hours.

[Mrs Zen]

Assuming......

;-)

And in the mean time: Time enough for <pggb> and <cake>

[Milla]

The Progress Bar - is this where I can order a revolutionary drink of some sort? Carbonated coffe?

[Haragai - U14769281]

With added amino-acids?

[Milla]

If it includes bovine fats, then yes.

[Orcus]

Wow, with the <pggp> you've just reminded me of the *very* old h2g2.

c{_} c\_/ \_/ s all round.

Can we restart the Forum and Firkin at the new place? Ooh all sorts of possibilities now the beeb restrictions have been removed...

[Alec Trician]

I'd say it was almost, but not quite 42% complete.

Anyone bring any sandwiches?

alec.

[DrZen]

What happened to the Forum and Firkin? Was it some sort of copyright thing? I think it would be a very good idea. Start off by rewarding coders with free beer.

[Orcus]

Yes it had to be renamed in case Firkin breweries objected I think. It did get renamed but I don't recall what happened to it - perhaps I just stopped frequenting it - I haven't seen it for years.

[Orcus]

Do Firkin pubs even exist any more? I haven't even seen a real one for years thinking about it...

[BaronGrim]

If there were a place near me named The Progress Bar, I'd feel it to be a moral imperative that I patronize it. C[_][_]D

[Orcus]

Aye - maybe we've hit upon the new name of hootoo's local here

I notice we're at 2/3 progress now - ooooh.


(There's a pub near me called Cardiff Arts Centre - oddly enough I've never been there because I though it was an art gallery - or at least I wasn't sure. Genius marketing)

[Mu Beta]

Whereas the actual arts centre is called Chapter, which sounds like a Methodist church.

And they wonder why there aren't more tourists in South Wales...

(by the way, if you like proper continental lager, then the bar at Chapter is well worth a visit)

[Orcus]

I don't even know where Chapter is - but I shall look out for it. Cheers

[BaronGrim]

Man... I gotta say, it seems very odd for me not having My Convo thingie in the upper left corner of my screen.

Watching the arbitrary Progress Bar <cheers> reach 2/3rds is cold comfort. I'm jonesin' man, I need my fix.

[Rev Jackruss]

its very strange, being in limbo, limbo....................limboesk a new skin, i need a limboesk skin just for this place, it might make me feel better, something with a fake screw init and my badges...................... badges........... <wah> I want my badges, I want my badges and i want them NOW! *stamps foot big time, gets out his rubber ball and*

It had better not take six weeks. <passes out> It's only been a few days and I'm already missing the place. Plus it'll mean six more weeks of testing and writing stuff and meetings and more testing... <wah>

So trust me, if there's stuff I can be doing to make it less time, I'll be doing that.

When I'm not at work, of course... *looks over shoulder*

<whistle>

[The Thinker]

Half an hour ago I looked at the progress bar and it has not moved since yesterday afernoon.
