in August 11th, 2009 @ 12:44Browser: Recently switched back to Safari after a long spell of Firefox.
Quest: I still haven’t figured it out. I’ve got some questlets though. One is to at least get up on my knees on a surf board (in the surf). I’m going to the beach on Sunday for a week so this will be a good chance.
Pets: No pets currently aside from the spiders that roam freely through the house. And there’s also the neighbors’ cat that hangs out at our place all the time. I don’t have names for any of them.
Inactive MuseBlogger: I also enjoy it when the Muses themselves stop by. It’s been awhile since that’s happened.
Desktop backgrounds: If my laptop is attached to a display, the background is the dashboard of my recently departed car. Unlike my “pets,” the car had a name: The Woofmobile. It was a 1981 (or was it 1983?) Toyota Corolla. Its dashboard resembled the surface of Mars — a heavily cratered and creviced part of Mars.
If the laptop is unattached, the background is a close-up of roses from the garden set in front of a black-and-white print of Samuel Johnson and pals sitting around his table.Why?: Why not?

in August 12th, 2009 @ 12:17Cloud computing: I like how it makes it possible to get to your “stuff” from any computer. That is really cool.
But it makes me nervous since said “stuff” would not be in my personal safekeeping. And I haven’t researched this at all … but it seems like such heavy reliance on the Internet would provide ever more opportunity for malicious hacking.

in August 12th, 2009 @ 18:08yes, actually. I was also tempted to wear Roman sandals and a beach cover up made to look like a toga with “Veni, vidi, vici” on the back. My mom told me I would look like a freak and wouldn’t let me out of the house.
At school, we have a Roman banquet once a year. 6th graders (our school only goes up to sixth grade, so they are special or something like that) get to wear togas. 5th graders get to play slaves. Not optional, either. Sooo glad it’s only in fifth grade. Now as I am fast approaching 6th grade, I’m pondering whether or not it’ll be as fun as it seems.

in August 12th, 2009 @ 18:34Oooh, ooh! This has nothing to do with using “pie” as a verb, but it is funny. Okay. So today at camp, we all wrote down a line from a song and then everyone drew one out of a hat and made a poem out of it. Sebastian’s was “His heart was made of knotted pine,” and Veronika (not me) thought it was “knotted pie!” The Kokonspiracy is taking over!

in August 12th, 2009 @ 21:11I fed it William Carlos Williams’ poem about the red wheel barrow. Along the way it became: “White chicken in water for a shower of glass next to REDDOHOIRUBARO, dependent” and eventually reached equilibrium with “Glass REDDOHOIRUBARO, water is dependent on the shower beside the white chickens.”

The last version was: “It is designed to ship a sea of green beans and cat owl.”May the force be with you: The outcome is certainly surprising — at least for someone who knows no Japanese (like me).

in August 15th, 2009 @ 09:33Canadians package milk in bags. They are rectangular, clear plastic bags, about as long as your forearm (or mine, at least). They are sold in threes in another bag.

in October 19th, 2009 @ 18:42To add onto the list of milk packaging in the USA, you can also buy boxed milk, something along the lines of it doesn’t have to be refrigerated until opened? I’m fuzzy on the details, my sis apparently likes it better than the other milk she can get her hands on at her college–she says that the milk in that state tastes “weird”….
But in general, I’ve only ever seen plastic jugs/cartons of varying sizes.

in January 11th, 2010 @ 18:10I suppose this is an extraordinarily late comment, but I just have to mention that my school now serves bagged milk with our lunches. (United States, by the way) We used to have cartons, but now the only way you can drink it is to stab the bag with the straw.

in August 23rd, 2009 @ 16:19Yes, it’s called “choco bisakeet”. (That’s probably a really bad transliteration; I’ve only heard it called that by Israelis.) They’re sold in grocery stores too, I think. Each bag contains a single portion, and people drink it directly out of the bag. Apparently, they are usually drunk at breakfast, and they’re sort of the Israeli version of the Starbucks latte. They’re also really good.

in August 14th, 2009 @ 23:07GAPAs: request for information
I was published twice (I think) in Muse magazine, once in a letter (that I had originally sent to the gaboomba, actually – I think Robert forwarded it) and once in a Q&A. After looking through the site, I believe that the Q&A was in the May/June 2006 issue (why do we blush), but I can’t remember when the letter was published, and going through all my old issues is going to be tedious. Would the gaboomba happen to be archived somewhere? If I could find roughly when I posted it on there that might help narrow it down. I think that I was responding to an article on tricks the brain plays on the eyes; I remember something vaguely about light refracting off of fingernails.Would you have any idea what I’m talking about / any place I could search to figure out what issue it would have been published in?

Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)
in August 15th, 2009 @ 13:30It was almost certainly “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” since that was their first hit in the U.S. Yes, this GAPA thinks she can remember watching the Beatles’ appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and being annoyed because she couldn’t hear the band over all the screaming girls. “I would never be that silly,” I thought. It’s hard to trust my memory because I have pretty much the same reaction every time I see the clip. (To be honest, however, I can be credited with plenty of silliness, just not like that.) I also vaguely remember the excitement around the first U.S. concert, probably because we were living in the D.C. at the time. But most of my early acquaintance with Beatles songs came from watching the cartoon show.

Yours is the last letter on the first mail page and it continues on the second mail page. Hope I have been of help!

in August 20th, 2009 @ 00:00GAPAs,
I just returned from a two-week camping trip in Yosemite, and when we were backpacking in the High Sierras, there was a rule that you couldn’t have open fires above 9,600 feet. Do you know why they had that rule?I was curious about that the entire trip, and I completely forgot to ask the ranger at the wilderness permit center.

in August 20th, 2009 @ 01:02I’m not sure if this is right, but I suspect it’s because we have lots of problems with wildfires in California. When I was in New Mexico last year (in the Sangre de Cristo mountains) they were also really strict about that kind of thing, I don’t think they would even let people hike on certain trails because there’s too much danger of a fire starting, due to carelessness or arson (and a lot of fires in “fire season” are actually arson fires! ) I wish I could remember more, but they said the drought was really bad…maybe it’s the same in Yosemite?

in August 20th, 2009 @ 07:07(39) I’ll bet Axa is right. When I went hiking in New Mexico a few years ago, no fires were allowed — “cold camping,” I think they called it. There had been a drought, and the state was worried about wildfires.

in August 23rd, 2009 @ 18:35Really? I thought that originally, but I didn’t think that could be it, because, especially in that area, they have been setting prescribed fires to make up for the suppressed fire policy in the past. And why only over 9,600 feet?

in August 21st, 2009 @ 08:55When my family was at Philmont (a Boy Scout ranch) in New Mexico, uh, 11-12 years ago, I think they had that rule, but when there was an ice storm, they broke it to keep the scouts who were hiking warm. I guess there wasn’t much of a fire-risk anymore.

in September 16th, 2009 @ 16:03Disagreement is not the same as flaming.
A brief demonstration:
Disagreement = HBP [rox, sux] because it reinterpreted the book as a movie [or whatever].
Headed for the flames = HBP [rox, sux], and you’re an idiot if you don’t agree.
Blowtorch = HBP [ROX, SUX], and anyone who disagrees with me should be PULVERIZED IN A BLENDER and fed to the cats, which will make them throw up of course all over Mom’s newly shampooed carpet because NOT EVEN a hungry cat would want to eat ANYTHING THAT STUPID11111!!

in September 16th, 2009 @ 19:42Sometimes it’s a judgment call. It might depend on who’s involved, or how serious it seems to be. Sometimes what seems to be an insult is more of a joke (or vice versa), and we can’t always tell in the moderating queue. Sometimes we simply miss things due to the perils of multitasking. At times we feel moved to do a little retrozapping.

in September 19th, 2009 @ 18:42mas0n, when we created the Paleophytes threads, we did so because many long-time MBers were feeling lost with the influx of newcomers. As we explained on the New MuseBlog Experiment thread, we settled on the six-months requirement because “after six months on the blog, MBers know the ropes and have shown that they are likely to stick around for a while. By making a special place for those who have settled in, we hope to carve out a slightly slower, calmer environment for those who want it.” After further review of those purposes, it seemed to us that six months should mean six months of regular participation. Sorry, mas0n, for the confusion, but you will enjoy the MA Student Lounge and feel happier there once you’ve spent more time getting to know the other residents of MuseBlog.

in September 20th, 2009 @ 09:33There’s not a hard and fast rule. Even a few times a month. Enough that other MBers have a chance to remember who you are and you have a chance to know who they are. But a handful of posts then a reappearance many months later didn’t seem to fit the bill.
But don’t worry. The Paleophytes area is only a small part of the blog, consisting of the Student Lounge — a slower, somewhat more contemplative version of the Random thread — and a few RRRs. Meanwhile, there’s plenty of territory to explore, as we see you’ve been discovering, so enjoy!

in September 25th, 2009 @ 14:09That works. By hiding the profiles, I meant that people who log in don’t automatically go straight to their profiles, as they would normally do. It seemed to make more sense to send them to the blog. If bookgirl_me wants to choose her own password, she can do the click-on-the-link trick.
I probably ought to add this information to one of the information pages, but I’m sure I’ll forget to do it.

As for your father, there’s no rule against it, as long as he identifies himself properly. I’d be interested in hearing what other MBers think about the idea.

in October 19th, 2009 @ 15:05Hm, it’s tricky. Ordinarily we require anyone over 18 on the blog to supply ens real name. But that could conflict with our policy of not revealing information about MBers on the blog.
In this case, I suppose proper identification would consist of his (1) letting us know by e-mail (gapa at musefanpage.com) that he plans to appear on MuseBlog and then (2) posting as “fireandhemlock1996’s dad” or a name that provides equivalent information.

in October 19th, 2009 @ 15:07While this seems a bit out of place in the tech-support / blog-related questions, I have been meaning to ask you guys this for a while:
I’m now living, for the first time in my life that I can remember, in a place that’s actually cold, and one thing I noticed was that every time I open a door to the outside, there’s this big gust of cold air that tries to hold the door shut. What causes this? Is there some difference in pressure due to the differences in temperature between inside and outside, or is it something else?
0

SudoRandom
in October 20th, 2009 @ 10:03Does your door open in like normal, or does it open out? The only reason I can think of is if your door opened out and the cold air tried moving to the lower pressure warmer air, but most house doors open in, so I’m not sure. (Yes, I know the question was for the GAPAs, sorry.)

in October 20th, 2009 @ 09:32Parents on MB- Hmm… The chance of my dad spending time on MB is just about the same as the Beatles reuniting and recruiting Britney Spears. I’d probably die (of embarrassment) if my mom came here and she respects that (I hope). Which sort of rules out my parents on MB. It would be weird. Like having a parent try to hang out with your friends at school. But I guess if you had a great relationship with your parents it might be fun. I wouldn’t mind if a MBers parent became a MBer.

New Wave was more my cup of tea. Fun stuff. Found most of my wardrobe at a fabulous second-hand place called Vintage Clothing.
Most people were fairly normal looking, actually. At least they were in D.C., which tends to be sartorially conservative. By contrast, my friends and I seemed bolder than we actually were. We were gorgeous, of course.

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 18:55Dearest GAPAs,
This is a somewhat urgent question. “Urgent” meaning I would like to know before monday (because my physics class is monday and I want to wow people).
I remember that there used to be a page on this site somewhere, where one could read a bunch of Q&A answers.One in particular stayed in my mind, as it was about Monty Python. I’m sure you’ve guessed it’s the question about the velocity of a swallow. I was wondering where I could find this answer. The question was brought up in my physics class (we watched the scene and everything) and I’m kind of curious about the answer.
Best Regards,
Kagcomix

in December 5th, 2009 @ 13:00Kagcomix — Reposting our Q&A archives is still on my “to do” list, but here is the answer I gave:
This question is dangerous! In the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, anyone who gave the wrong answer was hurled off a bridge into a deep gorge. Well, no more! According to the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Ornithology, a European swallow flies at 9 meters per second, or 20 miles per hour. Of course, swallows don’t fly at the same speed all the time. They slow down before they land, and they can put on a short burst of speed to escape from hawks or other predators. The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds reports that in 1930, the driver of a car in California noticed a barn swallow flying at 46 miles per hour. (American barn swallows are the same species as the European swallow.) I don’t know why that bird was in such a hurry, but my guess is that it was flying like mad to get away from the big metal monster chasing it down the highway.
(The answer refers to unladen swallows, of course.)

in December 6th, 2009 @ 12:06I already know the answer: no. The GAPAs don’t want to take any chances with MB, and, unfortunately, creating a Junior GAPA position would open up such a chance. Too many “what if’s” to worry about, too many things that could go wrong. In an alternate universe where the GAPAs would allow it, I would instantly throw my hat in the ring, but alas, ’tis not to be.

in December 15th, 2009 @ 17:58I’m not sure I understand your question. Do you mean the individual Muses? There isn’t a single picture. I made Photoshop brushes and Illustrator symbols from the vector graphics I drew for the Muse Academy seal and sometimes use them as a basis for images. Other times I draw them from scratch. Just depends on the situation. The current picture started with Illustrator symbols that I edited. I could “paint” them all onto a single page, if that’s what you’re asking.

in January 6th, 2010 @ 14:51GAPAs, I have a question. I was reading one of Robert’s comments on Hot Topics 2009.5 which said, “One of the rules is that the answer to the question “How does X happen?†is not allowed to be “It just happens†or “It’s a miracle.†That’s not because scientists don’t believe in miracles — some do, some don’t. It’s because saying that something just happened or happened because of a miracle doesn’t explain it in a way that scientists consider useful and satisfying.” This made me think of something: what’s the deal with inertia? Do any of you have theories on why it works, or theories that you think are hogwash?

in January 9th, 2010 @ 12:42A question: Sometimes in the recent comment bar, the comments are interrupted by 221; , even though it isn’t there when I click on the comment and read it on the thread. For instance:
What I see in the comments bar:
123- That’s strange… I recently “discovered 221; I’m Alive on my iPod, and it was really good….
What’s really there:
123- That’s strange… I recently “discovered†I’m Alive on my iPod, and it was really good.
In this case, it’s replacing â€, but I can see them just fine in other posts. Not that it bothers me; I’m just wondering if there might be something wrong with my computer.

0

106.2
Piggy
in January 11th, 2010 @ 17:18Well, originally it was just the Muse Magazine Fan Page, started by Robert a number of years ago–late 2003 or early 2004, I believe. Part of the fan page was called the GABOOMBA, which stood for GAllery + guest BOOk + Message BoArd. Part of the GABOOMBA was a rudimentary discussion area. The way it worked was that people emailed their messages to Robert and Robert manually posted each message on the page. This lasted for 261 messages in total (which took a considerable amount of time, as the pace was much, much slower than it is today) when Robert unveiled an experimental new system known as MuseBlog. Under this new system Robert didn’t have to manually post each and every message, which made things much easier, I imagine. The system was a success and is still in use today.
Basically, Robert started it as a place for Muse fans to discuss the magazine and other Muserly things that went along with it.
However, when Balrogs attacked the site last year, the area that took the most damage was the Fan Page. Due to the terrible conspirings of the Fates, Robert was unable to restore the Fan Page or the GABOOMBA. This is why going to https://musefanpage.com/ redirects you to https://musefanpage.com/blog. Skeletory remnants of it can be found by adamant internet-searchers, but it may never be restored to its former glory. I have managed to salvage the whole of the Message Board so as to read its contents, but the entirety of the Muse Magazine Fan Page may be lost forever.

fireandhemlock1996, I can bang around on the piano enough to entertain myself. Some minor dabblings with guitar and tin whistle never went too far. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with a riq (a combination tambourine and drum) as I am a frustrated percussionist. I’ll attempt anything I can shake, rattle, or beat.
Both Robert and Paul have far superior musical prowess than I on a much greater variety of instruments. I don’t know about Rosanne.

It made me think of Paul. First thought when she said hurdy-gurdy.

in January 25th, 2010 @ 18:33Question that has no connection to anything whatsoever:
In the July/August 2002 issue of Muse, I noticed that you had printed an excerpt from a story entitled, “The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents” (this was the Cat issue). My question runs thus: If the second round of editing was completed for the Bunny Apocalypse Thread (though it will probably take more than two rounds to completely edit the thread), would you consider printing segments of the story in Muse?

Visitor maps? Huh? I have no idea, I didn’t get to see them.
But how would it know where we are? I know that when I made my WordPress account I didn’t really put in any other information than my username, email and a password….as far as I recall anyway.How does it decide who’s a member and who’s a visitor? I mean, I know I didn’t make an account until the paleo threads showed up, and even when I’m on a strange computer and forget to check them, sometimes I don’t bother singing in.
Eh crazy voodoo magic, this interweb stuff.

in February 1st, 2010 @ 13:16It would know where you are based upon your IP address, and where it logs into the internet from. Or something like that–the same way that annoying personal ads on less reputable websites always know where you are: “So and so looking for a hot date in *******[town where you’re at.”
As for member/visitor, I’m guessing that if you’re currently logged into your MB account, it has you marked as member, if you’re not logged in, it probably marks you as visitor. So even if you’re on you’re computer, it would probably mark you as a visitor if you don’t sign into your account. That’s my guess, anyway.

in February 1st, 2010 @ 16:03You can easily fix that by editing the “nickname” field in your profile. You don’t have to, though, because I’ve just done it for you. You’ll be “starr” now even when you’re logged in.

in February 1st, 2010 @ 16:50If it were to get changed, (assuming that’s possible), the most logical would be “X visitors, Y logged in”. That way it doesn’t sound all cool and exclusive “Ooooh, members!” But also doesn’t apply not necessarily even accurate labels.

Errata
in February 17th, 2010 @ 07:05World of Piecraft, I believe. A thread that was, until recently, a pie war, but was then ended by the Truce of Something-or-other. Basically we just divided up all the land and ended it, although a MBer I haven’t seen before, Cérise, took objection and wrote a long post basically insulting everybody because we weren’t pointlessly throwing pies at each other anymore. Joined by AJAR, naturally.
It’s also possible that it’s something else, but that would be my guess.
