Ok, so it's not the great pink flying unicorn. But here's what happened:

 

I went to the last page of the 'my users' tab on my blog. I was curious to see what was back there. I found soulcast had written allot of posts, and so had silver and cw. Moving forward two pages to page 616, i found this really interesting banner at the bottom:
**************************************************************************************




have a happy and safe fourth of july!...
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                           -2 comments


Now, what's so interesting about this banner, you may ask?


Well, if you notice on the bottom right, it has a negative two comments!

Now how can a post have fewer than zero comments?

That's just wierd!

    I had -4 comments once.  Happiest day of my life! Sadly, they're all back now.

    That does seem odd.  It seems that something has run amuck.  I've never really gone back to see what my old posts are doing unless I see that I've gotten a new comment.  I sort of just cast them to the wind to do what they will.

    does that mean that someone took back their look?  weird
  • diabolicdame said on May 01, 2008....
    That really is curious. Funny.. lol.. some bug I suppose.
  • travelr712 said on May 01, 2008....
    pickers - i'm not sure what you mean, they're back now?
     
    cw - i know what you mean. i hadn't realized you'd been here that long, like, 3 months after the site was created!
     
    gwb - no thanks, i can't afford it!
     
    unique - well, it was comments, and i don't know how it happened, there's no comments on that post.
     
    dd - i'm sure it is, they happen here sometimes.

    Confuzzled again....but I didn't see any comments, and there had to be many, so I guess they got deleted--too many to be kept around?  The computer had a brain fart maybe?
     
    I still get my editing mode counting backwards when I take too much time--matter of fact it just happened a bit ago.  I wonder how far it would count if I left it alone?
  • travelr712 said on May 01, 2008....
    sounds like it's time for an experiment wombie.
  • wombat said on May 01, 2008....
    I would, but I barely have time to be here as it is....I would be found sitting at my computer in my bones for a nightgown, staring at the little counter.....then I would be autopsied!   (One of my "fears" from another post!)
  • travelr712 said on May 01, 2008....
    that's..... quite an image you painted there wombie!
  • wombat said on May 01, 2008....
    Well, I saw it on a movie  (no I read it in a book)   .......ha.    But it's also one of my new fears......
  • silverwhisper said on May 02, 2008....
    heh...back before i blocked anonymous, there were some users who were having a conversation anonymously there. i never particularly minded that they were doing so but after i blocked anonymous, it kinda killed the conversation. one suggested nuking the comments in it.

    as you might've guessed from the number of views on that blog entry, there was quite the conversation going, but i did wind up deleting all the comments--it was a completely off-topic conversation. :>

    apparently, there's a bug in the SC software that if you delete a lot of comments quickly, it doesn't keep count properly. it comes up so infrequently i never thought to post it to soulcast_help. :>

    wombie - you really have a fear that you're going to die at your computer?
     
    it's nothing i'd bother with ed. it might take so long to find and fix the bug, and the fix might cause a break somewhere else. the cure worse than the desease, as it were.
  • silverwhisper said on May 02, 2008....
    ah right, as an IT guy, you'd see that prospect more readily than most of us. very good point, trav. :>

    ed
  • pickersplock said on May 02, 2008....
    Yes, Trav, they all disappeared, and then returned.
  • travelr712 said on May 02, 2008....
    only because i've had to try and fix minor bugs like that before ed. you know users, they want it PERFECT!!!!! :-)
     
     
  • pickersplock said on May 02, 2008....
    Hi, Trav!
  • travelr712 said on May 02, 2008....
    oh sorry pickers, it ate the part of my comment addressed to you, and i didn't notice!
     
    hi :-)
  • pickersplock said on May 02, 2008....
    Oh, that's alright!
  • wombat said on May 02, 2008....
    travelr712:  If I die at mycomputer, bury me with my keyboard....ha.   I will tell you all what I have been up to--or down to, as the case may be....

    i want to be creamated, and have my ashes sprinkled over the dell processing line :-P

So sorry for being all moody and weird...though I tend to be weird all the time...anyways. ...
I really don't have much to say. Or do.

Today, I going to read blogs and comment.

Hopefully, I will have something great to say later....
There are many free hosted blog platforms available, the most common being blogger and wordpress. These are great services and I think offer a good, no cost introduction to blogging. However if you are serious about your blogging, and intend to turn...
It's not as bad as it seems....
