Blogrolling is down, and poor monkey can't access the Web sites of all his favorite monkey blogs! What's worse, all you west coasters aren't awake yet! What's a monkey to do? Work?
Posted by adampsyche at July 30, 2002 10:58 AMThree more comments on the blue and I hit 1000. Do I get a pony?
Posted by: adampsyche on July 30, 2002 11:18 AMAdam: pause at 999 and then think up a truly witty comment including the word "thousand" with a cheeky link to your user profile.
It would be nice if you could tell someone off along the lines"if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times."
Or preferably something witty, as I said. ;)
Posted by: Miguel on July 30, 2002 12:11 PMHeh. When Miguel reached his comment #1142 on MeFi(sigh. were we ever that young?), I sent him an email telling him to "STOP POSTING" so he could see the beauty of the number.
In his fear, Miguel thought that I was lashing out at him. And then he saw the beauty of it. And we both laughed and then hugged like drunken brothers.
Posted by: ColdChef on July 30, 2002 12:28 PMYes because you wrote it in capital letters, STOP POSTING NOW, and I thought "Shit, even the only guy who puts up with me has had enough". Hell, it even made me stop posting!
Embarrassingly, I see I have just gone through the First World War and am now more or less around the Fascist march on Rome.
Posted by: Miguel on July 30, 2002 12:43 PMYes Miguel - you had better get busy and post Post POST! Post like the wind!
Posted by: kokogiak on July 30, 2002 12:53 PMThat would explain the constant torturing and stockading, yes.
Posted by: Miguel on July 30, 2002 12:54 PMIs it me, or am I an addict to my monkey buisness. As, Metafilter is now posting what I saw in the advice columns, before the net. Talk about regression, these tikes are posting what the old folks talk about or buy. And what is worse than a double post? When you read about it in both Dear Abby & Anne Landers, as they were twins at birth. Then years later you see the product to the answer in Meta, like this lovely pancaked product.
After today, this site is now thinking, whoa.... stock those shelves we have some monkeys that are so polite they don't say they pooed, they just let it rip, with the "fragrance of filtered underware".
Hey All:
I've been meaning to write my own custom Blogrolling-type app in php. When BR went down this morning, it clinched it.
I'll make it available to y'all when I'm done.
Posted by: jpoulos on July 30, 2002 02:00 PMI would so use that. Especially if it was named Blogfucking.
Posted by: adampsyche on July 30, 2002 02:17 PMI wish I had time to learn php. You'd think, since I work in software. I even have a book on it. Can I play with your tool too, jp?
And, just to be obsessive, what sort of storage system were you thinking about? Database, flat files, XML? I've got some ideas about XML if you want to mail me.
Posted by: walrus on July 30, 2002 03:33 PMOh yeah. The topic. Can we have a list of member links, like meatlifter? Hope me administrator!
Posted by: walrus on July 30, 2002 03:36 PMAlso, while we're asking for things, I'd like a tiny, little link at the top of our homepage, linking back to MetaFilter. Why? I'm too lazy to type it each time, and I dare not bookmark it at work.
I will give you TP for your bunghole for this.
Posted by: ColdChef on July 30, 2002 03:37 PMWanna know how much I Hate My Job? Filepilers can check this wack shit.
Posted by: adampsyche on July 30, 2002 03:53 PMColdchef, I almost mentioned this earlier, since you brought it up,Meta. You said we should not post stuff related here on Meta. That it could come back on us as we used our get out of jail card, or some crud like that. And on the front page post, vice versa. On the same line should we advertise by having a Meta button. They don't for here, well they do, with all our dooo dooo ....just saying
Posted by: thomcatspike on July 30, 2002 05:15 PMThom, I see your point. I'm just (as I said above) a lazy, lazy fucker.
Posted by: ColdChef on July 30, 2002 05:26 PMHow cool am I?
I forgot until this very moment that I have had a filepile account just about forever.
Posted by: kafkaesque on July 30, 2002 05:31 PMso cold chef like I bitched next door I have to type everytime thomcatspike and the e-mail address everytime as I lost my cookies because of my fire walls, and by the time I post, I'm really lagging behind....I feel like the kid tagging along who yells wait up as he pulls his britches up ever five seconds, wait up.....
Posted by: thomcatspike on July 30, 2002 06:07 PMWell, I just started a live journal...for no apparent reason whatsoever. You could feel free to go read the nonsense I have there if you're really bored. ;)
I mean, thus far, it's not much, really...just one entry and links to all my weird friends. However, if any of you have LJ sites, please, send me the links or usernames so I can include you on my watched people...I mean friends list. :)
Posted by: dejah420 on July 30, 2002 07:09 PMTo be serious for uno momento, I would second the suggestion for a page of 9622 members sites' links. If I ever get the nerve up to ask our IT guy why 9622.net is firewalled, I could enjoy them all during the day, too.
Posted by: yhbc on July 30, 2002 07:32 PMOk, now I'm hovering at 999 comments, but there just isn't a thread right now that deserves to be looked back upon as my 1000th comment. Maybe tomorrow...
Posted by: adampsyche on July 30, 2002 08:16 PMAs long as you warn us so we can be around, Adam to celebrate with a subtle post along the lines of "Great 1000th post, Adam! Drinks at our place?". ;)
Posted by: Miguel on July 30, 2002 08:36 PMjpoulos, if you name your blogroll app 'Blogfucker' could you please add the tagline '...with Special Reach-around Technology!'
Just for me?

Lucky Bastard. I am outside the gates of paradise..I mean filepile...
Posted by: jonmc on July 30, 2002 10:10 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
