The are already some electronic countermeasures in place, incuding poison fields I think, but I usually end up deleting a few spam messages per day manually. It's not that bad but I have been busy this week. I wish there were a clever solution that didn't involve captchas; I don't want to resort to that because I think it also reduces the rate of legitimate feedback. |

I thought no one would have this problems except us, what a surprise and very concerning. Last night when looking for something in our semi finished basement I found the carpeting in front of some bookshelves to be wet. On top of the carpeting we had a jute area rug. When I moved the area rug I found the pale almost sheer mushrooms about 10 of them scattered within the area. I freaked. We moved the bookcases and pulled back the broadloom to find a leak along the foundation. After reading this site we removed the mushrooms and covered the area with salt. Some spots have black mold which we removed with bleach and also poured it along the floor where the wall meets. We were told to run the A/C to keep moisture from building and to use a fan to keep the air circulating. Unfortunately our story will have a... to be continued... when the contractor arrives to inspect the foundation. We will be purchasing a dehumidifier as soon as we can to keep on top of the humidity issues in the future. |

Has Tom considered adding a hidden field on these forms that has an id of something like "email"? In actuality, of course, the server should look at that field and if there's anything at all there, reject the comment as autogenerated spam.
Might go a long way toward cutting out the crap that's coming in recently, and for everyone else the field is hidden so not a bother at all.
(After taking care of this last block of spam, you can go ahead and delete this comment too.) |

I'm not getting any error. Maybe it was a transient thing? (or on your end? I don't think that's an error string that's even in my code...) |

Actually, many songs are on 8bc, under the user name T7ES. :) But you won't get anything new by going there; my site is the one-stop shop... |

Yuck, again I'm not alone it appears...I had some about 2 weeks growing right below the trim on my carpet in my bedroom and my husband found them and took care of them then poured bleach and scrubbed, well tonight, found another one...We are trying to sell our house in the next few months, and not sure what to do. I guess we will get an inspector and go from there..gross!!

Your stuff should be on 8bc! |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I don't have a mushroom in my bath but I did notice what appears to be a sprout like thing growing in the space between my hardwood and wall by my dishwasher. My dishwasher overflowed a few weeks ago. Not a mjor leak but had some water spill out onto the floor and I cleaned it up. Since then I notice these little sprout like things. I initially thought it was something electrical as it apparently died quickly and left a black residue on my floor. My Dad came & checked and knocked out my electrical theory and just cleaned it up. Last night while loading the dishwasher I noticed a new spout growing from under the same space. And again this morning it was keeled over leaving a black residue on the floor. Ugh. It's creepy. Has anyone else had the sprout? Is it the same as the mushroom. What do I do? Salt? Bleach? btw I'm the homeowner & bought my place 2 years ago so looking for least costly method of repairing. |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
I got a 1530 on my SAT. I took it in my junior year so i've still got a chance. I will also take the French and literature SAT IIs next fall. In my last practice at my prep class i got 1680 (still pretty bad). I have a 3.9 GPA but not many extra-curriculars. I was in a school band in 9th grade, did a week internship at mount sinai hospital in 10th grade, am going to participate in a student run musical this fall. Also did some voluntering with bake sales and i have about 40 hours of community service (required by the school). I really dont think that is enough. I am thinking of applying to Fordham university or NYU, but i'll probably go to a suny. How am I looking??? |

P.S. I live in a rental house and the owner is a slumlord...I've already reported him to Code Enforcement in our city. |

There is a colony of mushrooms growing out of a board covering a huge hole in my bedroom wall, right under a window unit a/c. It's all wet there and I know (from living in Florida) that mushrooms love this type of climate. Are they poisonous? They are the skinny white kind. There is also another one that looks wavy and whitish/light beige color growing on the baseboard. Is this going to make me sick? I may have to move into the other bedroom... |
|
Okay the same thing happened in my bathroom except it is on the second floor. this has never happened before and it used to be that my bathroom almost never got cleaned and now we have a cleaning lady who comes every 2 weeks and now all of a sudden it happens and i don't get it. can anyone exlain to me what is going on |

Wow all of this mushroom talk! I found one coming out of my tile floor by my bathtub. we try to keep the area dry but at times it's moist. Will try the salt first. I really hope this is not a big problem.

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
same with me, ugh. but i dont think this is a serious matter, its just that, the WOODEN door gets WET always, thats the reason, and it grows fast because the BATHROOM tiles makes the environment COOL. what i do, i just pull it out then let it grow again, i dont mind if there's mushroom, its harmless, it just look gross. you can just pull it every time there's one. it wont take you so long to do that, maybe a second or three. ;) |

I found a mushroom growing out of my counter top in the kitchen. The water may have leaked behind the backsplash. My concern is whether or not just dampness creates the mushroom or does another microoraganism or substance, or bacteria have to be present and if so is that substance dangerous. Does anyone know? My e-mail is Springtime196345@Yahoo.com please contact me if you have any info. Also my apartment is on a cement slab and near adamp area. There is a small creek. Deer live in the woods around me., but it is damp, My apartment is cold on an 80 degree day. I think I have to move because I have developed arthritis, but I like it there. I just feel the cold and dampness have contributed to my pains. Also my mushroom gave a dust that was sandy colored. |

I just realized I left my rather long post about how Pre-solving levels is not worth the effort, with the "Anonymous" name yet again. Maybe a catch to ask if someone really wants to be Anonymous?
Yes, bot levels can be annoying, but they do have really simple rules:
The simplified rule of the bot:
Bots move in order of their number.
Bots move towards the player.
Bots prefer to move horizontally over vertically. |
|
For my part, it's not about giving away the solutions or respect (though I understand why authors might feel that way), but just that every time I've seen a solution to a level, I felt like 1% of the satisfaction I got from actually solving it. But I've definitely often felt the temptation to peek and wouldn't have been able to stop myself if they were easily available. So basically I'm just protecting you guys from yourselves. :) I understand the frustration, though. "Jungle Fever" and "Crosshairs (Potetz variation)" have used up hours of my life without any satisfaction yet!
To comment, press ctrl-c when the level is selected in the 'load level' screen in the game. Oddly, you can only read comments from the web. Of course I plan to fix that mismatch some day!
I know what you mean about bots. That was a Pandora's box I was somewhat hesitant to open, mainly because as I was implementing them I started to realize how complex the behavior could be with multiple bots and I have a long-standing principle of predictability in the game's design. I worked hard to make the rules for bots as simple as I could, but when there are a couple of them it can easily get confusing (the 'n' key might help, because it shows the order that bots will move in). With some practice some of their movements can even become intuitive, but more than any other element, it's not hard to make a level that's simply obnoxious by using bots. The onus has always been on the level author to use the features of the game to make good levels, though, and there have definitely been some amazing ideas using bots. So I don't regret it! |
