What do you mean it reached stumble?

As a newcomer to the site, I do appreciate having found a friendly soul in you. Many thanks is in order, Old Flyer, and may Hitchens bless you!

Hey, thanks for the friend request and providing the link! Could you send it again in a message? I was so tired today that I clicked accept the friend request before copying the link...awesome, right?

Had a poke around. A very attractive and well designed site.

I think part of the problem is my reading speed. I am such a slow reader that I am VERY selective about where I choose to invest my reading time.

I used the wrong word earlier. I (wrongly) said "ambivalent" (=uncommitted). I really meant to say "apathetic" (=strongly committed to not giving a shit what's in the Bible) - so much so that as soon as I see the word "thy" (or similar archaic words), I immediately turn away.

Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the friend request, and the link to your site. I'm unlikely to use it, though. I seem to have a rather singular ambivalence toward the Bible. But if I have a question, I'll post it on TA and maybe get lucky enough for you to field it.

Kings, something.  Jezebel.  She brings in 450 Baal priests, and also brings 400 priests of the grove, or something...  Um, what is the priest of the grove, historically. 

Hi, thanks for the friend request, and the link to your site.  Sorry if my response took a bit, I don't always check in here every day (or every week, depending on how hectic life gets).

archaeopteryx, much software has what we programmers called undocumented capabilities, a fancy name for bugs.

My netbook's keyboard has a CTRL key where my other computer's keyboard has a SHIFT key. Intending to uppercase a letter, I hit the CTRL key and the words I'd typed disappeared.

Thank you for telling me where they went. I was intending to add a remark that Romney has no concern for people such as the Japanese who were vaporized, so the key combination CTRL-R might have sent my words away.

I'm gutted.  No rat nookie after all.  Bugger!

Thanks for reaching out to me, archaeopteryx!  What woke you up from religion?

Dear Arch:

Good to hear from you.

The 'dabble in electricity'.

About 5 years ago there was an interesting OPB science documentary concerning the experimentation with some 'near fringe' ideas. One was concerning using bacteria to generate  DC power. That demo was using the early single chamber, air cathode, mud cell, that uses a mixed anaerobic bacteria culture from river sediments, that can transfer free electrons(from the cellular electron transfer chain) to a conductor.

I puttered with the idea for a few years, reading much of the literature, fabricating different conductive composites, and finally building a small test cell to see if I understood the theory and design issues. My first cell output maxed out at 218 mV and .5mA, over 33 days of operation. If you are interested, I have a FB page 'Microbial Fuelcell Design'. The FB page has pix, papers, and soon a Powerpoint presentation. These fuel cells use biomass as the fuel source.

Take Care,

James

I hope by befriending me, that I will not add to your troubles. I hope my humor only brightens your day, and lightens the heart.

Sorry, just found this message or I'd have replied sooner. Yes I have been as far as I know.  I was up until 2 am working on client stuff, then got up early to help with a voter-registration drive for 4 hours outside. Was rather draining actually.

The "illegal attachments" might be the result of your emails also going to a GMail account at the same time and Google is probably spitting them out. My host doesn't care :)

I have been to your site. :)

The link was: http://diaryofabasketcaseprogrammer.blogspot.com/2012/08/of-arms-and-gun-control.html

And I can be reached at: richard@basketcasesoftware.com

I might host the blog later and do my own features, but until then I'm going to be lazy like this. My hands are already full designing clients' sites, doing 3d imaging and animation, and software development (that's the short list :p).

No, you did. I had an answer :)

Here was my response:

Yeah, I made several typos. I also forgot the requirement that registered arms dealers need to check the list against restricted individuals - that part is essential. 

I haven't sought a sponsor yet - the topic is still yet too new - but I'd love suggestions in this direction. And proofreading is very welcome. :) 

Coming from someone with your standing such comments feel quite good.

I don't know if it does. I'm still getting used to the site.

Actually Richard, other than requiring another once-over for typos, which admittedly distract from the content, I find your proposal very sound and well-considered.

Is that as far as it goes, or have you plans for attracting someone's attention with it for further consideration?

You left a comment on my blog and had a question. I responded there. Should I follow up here?

I'll look into this. Thanks for the heads up. What I would do off the bat is to sign out of Think Atheist. Clear your cache/cookies. Close the browser and restart your browser. Let me know if that helps. I'll look on my end to see if we are having problems. Also, have you tried another browser?
