Robert is in the midst of upgrading the blog’s software. You can expect things to look odd and stop working unexpectedly until he finishes. It’s impossible to say how long that will take. Patience, please!

That explains a lot.
Yes. I thought about doing it late at night but decided that I really need to be wide awake for this job.
Is it done? Or will it turn strange again?
well, what happened? will this stop the wordpress has the wrong long-in password error or the times when the the blog looks odd?
Yay! Weirdness! Unpredictableness! w00t!
I like weirdness!!!! And that explains why it wouldnt let me post sometimes……..
2- Yeah. I was a tad confused. Everything was blue and white and weird when I loaded it this morning!
I’m very excited for this weirdness… I feel like I shall fit in….
Hmmm. That would explain the ‘Word Press’ Problems. What exactly are you updating?
I never actually saw any weirdness… but then I wasn’t on this morning.
We’re updating the blog software, WordPress. It’s slow going, because we’ve customized the blog with little add-ons called “plug-ins.” Some of them have new versions that have to be installed, too, and some require us to modify the blog’s program files by hand. All very complicated and annoying. I didn’t finish today and will have to continue next weekend. With luck, I’ll finish then.
l noticed nothing, but there’s a great chance that something will happen once l post.
Nothing.
Robert – how will it help MuseCast? *is very excited*
Didn’t you say you needed RSS feeds?
15-ooooooh. RSS. sweeeeet.
request #1- an tag.
i assume sigs and avatars are too much to ask.
maybe some more smilies?
I don’t see the need for RSS, but if some one else wants it, maybe they can win me over.
15 (Robert) – Yeah, you can make RSS feeds? Flamablamablous!
17-its cool. what more need could the be?
Lolz…this’ll be fun…:mrgreen:
don’t we have rss feeds? there just after the catigorys on the main page.
could you change the
to a flying pie?
I may be experiencing some of this weirdness right now! How exciting! But actually I think it’s just WordPress’s usual quirks.
Ah yes. ‘Twas a database error, whatever that may be.
24- I think that hapens when the Gapas comuters are sleeping.
25- But the BLOG exists whether the COMPUTERS exist or not.
cooooooooooool lets have a cross eyes face
let’s have…umm…err…a cooler design!
Since this is a weirdness forum and we are all actually WAITING for the weirdness to begin, let’s increase the weirdness by talking about weirder subjects than the ones that will be coming when the weird forum is actually set up!!! What is this weird subject, you ask???? (drumroll, please,) CUCUMBERS!!! I don’t like them salted; yet maybe the salt we have is too salty. I don’t really get the people that like them salted. Pepper is ok, though. What do you think?
29- I love cucumbers, but I HATE THE LITTLE SEEDS! My dream way of preparing a cucumber would be to cut it into slices, CUT EVERY LAST SEED OUT, and then cut it into thinner slices. And mail the seeds to Nizhny Novgorod. Oh, and put a nice Italian dressing on the now seedless cucumbers.
LUMBERJACK
I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.
Mounties :
He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’
And have buttered scones for tea.
Mounties:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus :
I’m (He’s) a lumberjack, and I’m (he’s) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars.
Mounties :
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women’s clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
Chorus :
I’m (He’s) a lumberjack, and I’m (he’s) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama (or Papa in later versions)
Mounties :
He cuts down trees.
He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
Chorus :
I’m (He’s) a lumberjack, and I’m (he’s) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
Yes, I’m (He’s) a lumberjack, and I’m (he’s) ok-a-y.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
l put them sliced in sandwiches.
29- 1) this is the weird blog, just in case you don’t understand. the GAPAS just upgraded the software a few days ago. why do people still post here
2) are you new? *pies for good mesure*
Cucumbers! I love ’em.
Erm, the site was upgraded? l didn’t notice.
Still in progress, I’m afraid. Any noticeable changes will take place sometime this month.
ah.
I haven’t noticed anything different. Of course, that might just be me being totally unperceptive, as usual, or because I’ve been on and off a good bit lately. Mostly off, it seems.
You don’t like the seeds?!?! How could you! I like to pick out the seeds with my teeth and sorta suck on em and then bite em in half. My friends call me disgusting, but hey! Have you ever tried a cuke sandwich? You put em on subway bread w. pepper and vinnagrette, and mm mm good! Try it sometime!

blog bulletin board wikimuse round robin ‘rites website cafepress cricket’s home.
( were the blog stuff is)
thanks for visting!
welcome to the muse-wide-web. if you are new, click blog to bring you to our web of oddness. if you have read a book that took you here, click rrr website. the wikimuse an bulitain board are for oldbies ONLY. we will tell you whenyou can go contubute.
here, have a pie:
(this will be replaced with a pie.
43- Nonono. You can’t ban the newbies from places where oldbies can go!
Weirdness! Weirdness! But it’ll probably be gone when l go to the home page. There was a database wordpress error on the recent comments.
More weirdness! No recent comments, a page saying l can’t access the blog, and the blog takes 5 minutes to lode!
Yeah, the Recent Comments was messed up for a while. That was creepy.
YES! weirdness. I was on at 11:00 and when I opened a theard it had a error message I have never seen before.
this is nice…
am currently experiencing weirdness. the white background disappeared… but that was all.
oh, and recent comments was gone. sorry for the double post.
Earlier it was refusing to load, so I just didn’t bother. I suppose that was the weirdness. I had hoped it would be more dramatic than that.
43- YES! PERFECT! GAPAs, please?
(52, 43) It’s a good design and includes several things that we’d like to do if we can find the time.
Like, for example, the oldbie exclusive stuff. Right?
54- yeah, but not only oldbies.
54-I dunno, do I count as an oldbie? (no…)
It shouldn’t be exclusive, but I like the idea of parts that would appeal more to oldbies and newbies.
56- yes. Your are one of the twelve topblogs. I’ll get a list at somepoint.
l suspect l’m on that list.
59-yes.
1.Agagabagabg
2.Beveo
3.P.C.
4.Alice
5.Jadestone
6.shadowKat
7.TNO
8.the man for aeiou
9.Grant O.
10.E2MB
11.Kagamax
12.FS
60- What is that a list of?
I think it’s a list of the most frequent bloggers. Hehe, i feel left out now.
What, the most popular bloggers? Let’s not become like High School, here…
No. That was way exhaggerated. But still, this makes others feel not so good about themselves. Let’s remember, we’re all musers here (*cringes*), and none of us are any more special than the others.
62-isn’t it a list of oldbies? aren’t you new-ish?
E2MB isn’t older than me, idiot. Get your dates right. I was on the JS side in the original pie wars. *shakes head in exasperation*
I don’t get it…
lt’s not age. lt’s frequency.
67-????????
It’s still not nice…
65- It is not age. and it was just put in a random order.
It was mostly about things like rrrs, museica, and shuch. I’ll get why yeah got on when I can.
All I have noticed is slow blog loading. I must not be on when the Robert are working on it…
If it’s frequency, I’m definitely more frequent than FS, who isn’t on at all.
what about content though? There are bloggers who double or triple post short, one or two sentence posts all over the blog all the time, and then there are bloggers who rant on in great length (no, not just me, other people do it too!). These people would have fewer posts, but they would have said more.
actually, it’s technically the GAPAs that post everything anyway…
60-excuse me, TMFA, could you explain to us what that is, so we don’t start quarraling?
73- Unlike gimanator. l don’t post on same thred again and again pointlessley.
It is all the blogers I could think of.
what about MissSwann2223? Bloggers has 2 ‘g’ s
I’m home sick today and i’m bored so i fed the cat then i practiced piano then i did the recycling then i read my book then i reorganized my bookshelf and now i’m doing this and i’m not so bored anymore

Black and orange stray cats sittin on a fence

I’m flat broke but I don’t care,
I strut right by with my tail in the air.
Stray cat strut, I’m a lady’s cat

Howl to the moon on a hot summer’s night,
Sing to the moon while the lady cats cry,

I wish i could be as carefree and wild,
But i got cat class, and I got cat style…

THERE ARE BIRDS ON MY WINDOWSILL
Towels are cool.
No one is posting still and i went to school today but it was a half day and i babaysat two hyperactive seven year olds.
No one is posting here
We lost our soccer game today.
Wow, i belive that this thread is a lost cause, cuz i am the only one that posts.
What happened to the weirdness? ls oo still upgyadin the sowftwaeh?
We’re not done yet, so more weirdness will lie ahead. It probably won’t hit this weekend, though, because I’ll be busy catching up with chores and errands after the Pumpkin Drop.
More weirdness shall always lie ahead…
That’s a safe prediction around here. It could even be our motto.
YAY someone finally posted [sending oober pies]
Jeezum, I feel like this is my own personal little thread.
93- Not quite.
91- Yeah, that would be a great motto! “More weirdness shall always lie ahead…” Like it!
Yay, someone came to join me in my private little thread. [starts meditation] So, my friend, what brings you to Missswann’s little haven?
ahem… ibcf… that’s your cue…
Shouldn’t this thread be closed because the weirdness is over and we’ve progressed onto other technical problems?
Actually, there’s still a little more weirdness coming along soon. Given the time lag, however, it’s probably best for me to post another announcement.
I don’t see any harm in leaving threads open, but as MBers seem to prefer closure (and seem compelled to leave pointless posts on any open thread), I guess I’ll start closing them again.
