Okay, I'm back (for an hour), and here's the Hijack Release Of The Day (Hour?).

v277 fixes a rare "jiffies" bug in Hijack, which has a very slight chance of having been the cause of occasional "unexpected standby transitions" with Hijack installed.

The bug is so rare in occurance that I doubt it ever affected anything, but hey! It's fixed now.

Cheers

[waves hi and good-bye to you]

has a very slight chance of having been the cause of occasional "unexpected standby transitions" with Hijack installed.

AHA. We were wondering about that! I think I even have a "player unexpectedly dropped into standby" thread in Bug Reports.

Okay. Another hour, another Hijack.

This one has Tonys "remount message" change, and also increases the simulated longpresses from the button translator by 10% (1.1 seconds instead of 1.0 seconds).

Cheers

(Mark waves back, longingly..)

Poor man. Must be working too hard

Why am I imagining the private emails these two might be sending back and forth?

Hey, as long as it motivates Mark to do more good things with Hijack, I'm with it.

Someone tried to start that rumor once before. Ah, the guy is married, and married guys just make great friends, that is all
I haven't made one hijack request yet but maybe I should just to see if it get's implemented.

I'm really just being nice in hopes he'll come to my meet so I can take advantage of him and have him do the button hack for me. (Just kidding)

Sorry, didn't realize Mark was married at that moment. Now that you mention it, though, I should have, as he's said so before. I just have a terrible short-term memory.

II just have a terrible short-term memory.

...don't believe her lies.

memento reference?

you remembered !!

memento reference?

That was a great flick.

I was discussing it with a friend who rented the DVD and had the idea of watching the chapters in reverse order to make the plot line run forward instead of backward. But then the telephone conversations that opened each chapter (which are forward in the film) would then be backward. So we decided the only way to make complete sense of the movie is to rip it into Premeire and re-sequence it completely.

Not that the movie was incomprehensible by any means, it's just that there's a few details that are hard to nail down...

Or you could just buy the special edition version that has a feature that puts all the scenes in forwards chronological order.

Just turned 31 - (although I had to subtract 1971 from 2002 to figure it out) but still feel much younger. Apparently I look much younger too (even with 2 children under 2 years old I haven't succumbed to the eye sockets looking like piss-holes in the snow thing yet.

uh.. only such old guys here! im 18 and wanna be 16 again.. course life is over with 20 right?

Well, just turned 30. Not as bad as everyone thinks...

...the real pain and suffering begins at 35, when you are no longer in that "target market".

Ben

Coming up on 30...realising that my twenties disappeared rather quickly and that if my thirties go any faster I'll be over the hill before I've achieved anything!

I'm turning 26 next month. I've noticed that this year I began saying stuff like : "In my days...."

Damn, I feel old.

Damn, thought I was doing OK until I got to number 18.

...the real pain and suffering begins at 35, when you are no longer in that "target market".

Perhaps when I arrive @ that age, it will be the 'target market' age.

I just turned 30 on the 4th.... I feel old

All of you virtual teeny-boppers are making me (1) laugh, and (2) feel old.. very old..

So excuse me now, as I head back to that sauna full of climbing babes.

Cheers

Deleted sexual innuendo

Stop it you guys....I'm 39...how do you think I feel? I remember the Monkies on tv (the first time 'round)

Sheesh

Sigh.. another young'n..

They all seem rather young don't they

This thread is reminding me that it is my birthday tomorrow (26) and that I am getting old :-(

-Mike

Oh shut up!

Happy birthday to ya.

Ya, Happy Birthday.

I don't even remember being 26.. must've been a good year, then!

(Oh, Mark blows a ki.. a sigh.. yeah, a Sigh, to Laura!)

Yes, they do sometimes.

Pity (for me anyhow) that most all of them are male.

-ml

LOL. Be careful or you'll get Tony going again!

Ah, I shouldn't have implied that I am older than they are. I stuck my foot in my mouth that time

Thanks for the happy bdays. You guys need to watch your flirting with all the impressionable young minds around here

A little harmless flirting is always fun.

Actually, I just assumed you were one of them! No woman I know is over 29. Or so they all claim..

Cheers

I know more guys that lie about their age than women. I've never lied about mine to anyone but I am glad that I look much younger than I am But I'll be 29 again, I don't mind.

Sigh.. another young'n..

Look who's talking!

I strongly suspect that the oldest people on this bbs, in descending order of age are:

tanstaafl.
henno
bonzi
schofiel

with a combined age of more than 200 years.

tanstaafl.

I feel better all ready.

"with a combined age of more than 200 years"

I always get a real kick out of that kind of statement...I see it so much in advertising in law firms and such...kinda like a company with 400 employees that have been there for a year each...

"Put 400 years of experience to work for you! - Bloggins Law Firm" ha ha
