Open Thread for Administrative Issues (Friday)

Thought I’d go ahead and put up the daily post for suggestions and questions since I’m here. I think if we try to keep them consolidated into one post per day, they’ll be easier to track. /okie ocd

  1. I will probably be scarce most of today. Slept late, people working at the house, meeting all afternoon. Will look around for some newsy links, though, and drop a few sites into sites in moderation, to make it easier for people to find all the extreme right-wing sites I know you are dying to surf.

  4. I like to think Judge is an Old Country Judge, confining big city doctor Michael J. Fox to small town life until he learns to value the truly important things in life, like sunsets and county fairs.

  7. Judge Crater is a friend of Mark in Austin. But Mark says he's too busy for this.

  8. MarK: Doc Hollywood or Cars? They are effectively the same movie, although Cars lacks the amazing scene of Julie Warner coming out of the lake (although it has an analogue, it's a car driving by a waterfall, not the same thing).However, Cars has the voice of Paul Newman as the judge. And the voice of historian and author Michael Wallis as the Sheriff.

  9. Just thought I'd let everyone know I've been in touch with AllButCertain and hope she will join us. Now I'm going to try to work on a post of some sort. Hope you're all doing the same. I know, I'm nagging.

  10. Doc Hollywood. Big fan of Julie Warner. And Major Charles Winchester (D.O. Steirs) as the hometown mayor was very good.

  11. Woohoo, I just experimented with lms's Bits and Pieces draft and successfully inserted a url text link or whatever it is called in my item bashing the current administration. (Please no one report me to Attackwatch.)

  12. One other note/question before I have to head to the office: I find that when I have the edit page open from the dashboard the text box blocks most of the buttons at the top (bolding, link insert, etc.). Anyone else have this problem?

  14. New Post by me.Again, if JudgeCrater actually shows up, he is really an engineering prof at tOSU and an entrepreneur in the biomaterials industry.Not a judge. Not a lawyer.

  17. Administrative question: So, when shall we take the blog back public? I really do want to test out the recent comments gadget and see if it works.

  18. Kevin, is it possible to have an area that is kept private to admins to discuss admin stuff? I'm guessing not.

  19. I don't think so. It'd have to be yet another blog, or we could leave the post as a draft and "discuss within it", as it were.

  20. If you just want to test a gadget, we could do it for just a few minutes any time a fair number of us are around the keep an eye on things while you (or somebody) runs the test.
