CA3LE

I love Grey Goose.... mmmmmm But I like to ruin it with RedBull ~~ I didn't make up the drink but I did give it a name... maybe it will catch on. "Red Goose" --- waitresses are always like "What the hell is that..." -- heh, it will catch on

Best idea I have seen posted here yet! We will start by giving Damon a free beer first... One from each country our various members are from! :haha: Now this is going to branch into a "What's your favorite beer" conversation. I guess I will start off Budweiser is okay if your fishing or riding ATVs - Corona is okay if your having a good time in Mexico (but I have grown to kinda dislike all Mexican beer because of too many trips to Mexico, lol) But for real beer I LOVE anything from Rock Bottom here in Phoenix. Great beer! I also love Stone's selection (they are from California) Arrogant Bastard Ale is one of their good ones and Stone IPA is great too.... But the past few months my over all favorite is Grolsch (Holland), it has a very deep taste.. heavy hops but not too hoppy at the same time, very crisp. If you go out and get some Grolsch make sure you get the 4 pack of 16oz flip top lids.. awesome bottles and I swear it makes the beer better, drinking from quality bottles just makes it more enjoyable. This isn't usually a beer most people would favor though... make sure you like beer because I have heard quite a few people that I've thrown a bottle to talk crap about it (what the hell do they know anyway) it has a very long after taste (which I love but most don't I guess). I tell them "Hey, I'm Sorry. I like to taste my beer... not just drink and get drunk." lol. People say crap like "Grolsch... they need to rename is GROSS." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Try it, if you like it --and-- live in Phoenix --and-- go to Pint Night at Rock Bottom on Thursdays at Desert Ridge --and-- happen to see me... next rounds on me! Can you tell how much I enjoy beer ~ TGFB! :evil6:

I will think about that next time I do an overhaul - not a bad idea at all.

Less than 2 weeks... for real

Everyone has their own idea of what a speedtest should be. By trial and error over the years I have came to the version I am using right now. It will without a doubt change over the following years. But right now the version I use is used because of compatability issues, their test uses flash and some of my guests come to this site because of the fact that you don't need to download any special plug-in's - That test looked and worked great for me also... but my results were actually exactly the same as testmy.net --- testmy.net I think I got 4409 Kbps and that site I got something like 4403 Kbps (I am running slow right now). Nice test, but as with most testing sites no upload test, and no logging and stats. Then again, that's not that websites goal anyway, they are a newgroup server(s) so I understand. By the way, I don't know if you use them for your newsgroups but I personally use www.usenetserver.com I pay something like 14.95/month for unlimited transfer and I max my connection out without a problem everytime.

I don't even open the top lid... I just piss all over the walls, lol. Okay, now the truth... seat up... when done put 'em both down, I want to be in a happy marriage one day so I thought I would start training right now.

Oh I didn't see this post.... looks like your running right in line with what you pay for now... you can expect +-10Kbps -- that's normal.

Are you sure there is no limits... I looked at their website and it says nothing about that. http://www.troycable.net/services/rez_broadband.mv Looks like their best package is 2Mbps/256Kbps ~~

Always nice to talk to shug... he makes sure we don't get to serious around here

I get that error sometimes too.. it's a problem with SMF and hopefull will be fixed in their next build. What I do is when that happens I click back and then click the subject title of the post I want to quote... that reload the page then the quote will work just fine.

Sorry guys, I accidently uploaded the header template for the mirror server on the main server it has <base href="http://www.testmy.net/"> tag in it that's needed for the mirror but is bad for the main server... this should be resolved now. - Damon

Nope... those who decide to abuse it will be removed from the program... and the list of Editors will be a small one ~~ only trusted users will be invited to post news. What did you think I was going to make it a free for all..

yeah... like yourself

Okay, I will get a new managment program in place first... then what I think would be cool is if I made it to where curtain members will log into news admin accounts and will have access to add news, with photos and URLs -- stuff like that. I will try and get started on that soon, I will keep you guys posted

So industry news? News about the internet in general?

btw, you can also check your ip at https://testmy.net/whois.php - there is a button that says "check your ip" and it shows your IP ~ may be quicker for ya, I know it is for me.

seems to work for me....

looked into it... try now, my times are much lower Page created in 0.066 seconds with 17 queries. Page created in 0.086 seconds with 17 queries. Page created in 0.046 seconds with 17 queries. Page created in 0.098 seconds with 13 queries. extreamly fast...

The today numbers are often off .. look at the 1 wk. Avg. and 3 mos. Avg. 25,242 and 36,574 shit yesterday the 'today' said 16,000

:haha: 15,000 -- sheeeeeeiiiiit by the end of the year we should be well over 50K registered users, and I actually expect a lot more than that because of the snowball effect (compounded traffic growth)... I would expect 15K right around 45 days from today - current registration growth is 75-100+ /day ~~ I can't even imagine what the site will be in two more years, it's already becoming a giant and ranking in the top 20K sites on the net (traffic wise) which isn't very easy to do... but I will tell you this, April was a month for me to transfer everything to the new servers, this is almost done... May/June I expect to put in MANY hours of scripting new tools and additions to the site, so stick around and as always tell people about the site. - Damon

attachments will have a problem for some durring the DNS propegation by the way... usually take 48 hours to propegate to the new server ~~ about 12 hours in right now. DNS is wierd

Good idea, I will see what I can come up with

hehe, no I just posted that premature.. the query wasn't done yet... you should notice now that it's fast as a mofo ~~ I haven't even gotten to the point of tweaking the details of the server yet... still need to transfer

Okay, score DB has been transfered. Some of you may have noticed the lag durring the transfer... I added about 1.2 million records to mysql so this is normal ~~ the worst is over (for you guys anyway) the rest should be smooth with little or no effect on testmy.net users - I'll keep this thread posted.
