Yep... your not wrong mate, some of these posts are pure gold... hehe.
The thing is they are so serious and concerned about it, even though it's only nature doing it's thing... Fungus grows in damp conditions, it's a fact of life on Terra Firma.
Humans and fungus have co-existed for centuries, I can't see us being wiped out by a "lasagna noodle mushroom" any time soon, but hey who am I too judge? Rip up the floor and tear down that wall... or just get some anti fungal cream, the choice is yours.

Your Pittsburgh running mission is truly awesome in scope and I applaud you.
I know you ran the Cleveland Half-Marathon last year; any thoughts about a full one? Looking at your running stats I'd say you could do it if you wanted. |

Is that for a research project? I'd love street/etc. data for Pittsburgh because I'd like to write some of my own software.
It's true that most of the staircases are outside continental Pittsburgh (according to my thumbing through that Staircases of Pittsburgh book on display at B&N) but there are still an awful lot of them in conteniental Pgh too. I just saw a couple of them in "the run" (that little neighborhood on the way to the Eliza Furnace trail from campus) today even. |

I can get you a good map of most things you may want in the city. Most staircases aren't really places you're going (a huge number are in the southside slopes).
Actually . . . I'll probably end up doing approximately what you're doing, but with less running, and less intent to cover every street ever. Although I don't have the option to avoid the other parts of the city. |

It should say 53 miles squared above. I don't know what happened to the superscript 2. |

Graue: Well, I tried it a bit in CT where my parents live... it's a very different experience, since the road density is so much lower. I do think you could do it, but you'd probably finish after a hundred miles or so, and you'd end up running the same few main streets near your starting point so many times you'd probably be driven nuts. But less populated areas are pleasant too, because there are fewer traffic hazards and you can do longer stretches without thinking about turns and such. Perhaps you can invent your own running project appropriate to your geography? =)
Genug: Staircases are fun, but I don't have a good map of them, and they are so steep that once I get six miles out it's hard to get excited about huffin' up 'em...
And let's wait until I've covered a bit more ground before blindfold dropoffs. ;) |

I approve and fully support you in this endeavor. Comments:
"I'm not requiring myself to run any of the dozens of staircases that are officially marked as streets."
Aw, seems like that could be the funnest part!
"I almost feel like you could drop me off in any place randomly here and I could find a short path back home. (But don't do that.)"
This seems like a terrific idea. If you want to do this sometime, I volunteer throw a dart at a map and then blindfold you and drive you to that place. |

That's so cool! I kinda wish I lived in a city so I could do this. In northern Virginia, it would be really boring (long stretches of basically nothing to look at).
Or am I just making excuses that don't stand up to scrutiny? Scrutinize my excuse, please. |

Oooh -- I had one of those when I was a kid! It was slightly inappropriate since I clearly remember asking my dad what was funny about the character named "Randy Sheets". |

i have two teenagers living in our shed that we fixed up. they usually take care of their own space but the two times i have gotten out there to check things out in the past 6 mos. i swept up and found what i thought were lasagna noodles dropped under the sink on the floor(kitchen area).
the second time i wondered if it was something other than lasagna noodles since there isnt even a stove in the shed. talking to my son he said the same thing grows on the other side of the wall of the kitchen...lasagna noodle mushrooms...gross! the shed floor is right on the dirt ground(wood on dirt). i'm not surprised at weirdness such as mushrooms but how do i get rid of them? salt and lysol? bleach? should i tear the wall apart? there's also a sweet smell...is that typical of the lasagna mushroom?

Odd ... when you browse your radar via the years/months at the bottom, this text on the page the full width of the browser
radar.spacebar.org/?month=3&year=2002
This was the first year/month combination that resulted in a weird page display. Not sure if it's a safari thing or something else. |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
im a junior in High school (go to a very well know private school in CT). i havn't taken the SATs yet, but when i combined all my best scores from my PSATs i got a 1380. my GPA is kinda low (like a 2.20) but i do have a lot of ex cur activities ( varsity outdoor track, varsity bowling, bunch of clubs) And i know my recommendations would be very good (because all of my teachers and my guidance counselor know that i try hard and have a lot of spirit). I want to go to Western New England College in Springfield Mass (look it up on collegeboard.com for its stats). it has a high acceptance rate of %75. Say if i got a 1380 on my SAT and my GPA is a 2.20, do you think i have a chance of getting into a school like that? |

Okay, thanks a lot! |

Ok, I did it - and again lost those 2 solutions, but anything else works normally now, no bookmarking-problems. The solutions had gone without becaming bookmarks. |
| |
Tom, I'm sorry, I can't remember for sure... All I know is that I did had a problem with those bookmarks, it did bookmark and bookmark and bookmark again and again - whenever I tried to open a bookmark it did bookmark the actual situation instead of opening an existent bookmark. Or something like that! There had been a real bookmark-problem with those 2 levels - but I can't explain it any better and as I said, can't remember exactly what was going on.
I still have one backup old version of the game - I could try to upgrade that one and look what will happen. |

Kirima: Did those 2 solutions become bookmarks? I'm interested because if solutions disappear, it might be because I introduced a bug in the game rules, which is something serious I'd like to look into. |

Sophia: well, upgrading means writing in the package. I guess on OSX you could still write the save file in the user's home directory and allow administrators to update from in-game (if I could do that administrator password prompt thing), although it's tricky because you also want the user to be able to update the collection of levels, and I think that's not something you want only administrators to do... which means reconciling that there are some set of levels that "come with" the single installation of the game, but the user can choose to supplement (or reduce?) those by updating from the server or creating his/her own, etc. Generally I think it works better if there's just one copy of the app per user that wants to use it, especially since I think multi-user systems are pretty rare. |
| |
Tom, I had only lost 2 solutions, no problem. |

Why would that preclude self-upgrade? |
