Site changes
By Scott Lockwood from the Doin' some 'stuff' department, Section Diaries Posted on Thu Aug 30, 2007 at 01:10:28 AM PST Tags: (all tags)

I'm making a few changes to the way the site works.

The main one for now, is that I changed the "hard" threshold of 3 for a story to be posted to 3%. Right now, we have 267 users, so this means 8.01 of them will have to vote for a story for it to hit the front page. I may make this 2% if it slows us down too much. :-) This will help keep only good quality articles on the front page - we are already getting lots of duplicates because people don't read all the old articles or search the site for previous postings. the 100th itteration of "how do I treat ick" should really be a diary entry, since we've discussed it's treatment before, just as an example.

Would a basic key word search engine be feasible? (none / 0) (#1)

If a visitor could search for "ich" "worms hanging from vent" or "fish not swallowing" or "ugly fish" ;) maybe they could more effectively find useful ideas from previous articles or comments.

Are there public domain word searchers available? I'm sure i don't even realize what costs (storage size, cost or advertizing links, ad infinitum) go with some available search software.

Thanks,
u.s.

I thought there already was a search thing here. It's at the bottom of the screen. That's how I did my searches for "fry", "babies", "pregnant" etc...It worked very well for me =)

Do you offer lessons in following basic (none / 0) (#5)

instructions? "When all else fails...."

************

From the play Nunsense:

Smoothly interrupting the flow of the play, a "nun" standing way off to the side of the auditorium sweetly calls out, "Why did Moses and the Isrealites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years?"

The nuns on stage stop what they are doing and melodiously respond, "Why DID Moses and the Isrealites wander in the wilderness for 40 years?"

The first party coyly responds, "Being a man, ....
..................................................
..................................................
he couldn't stop and ask directions."

Partly because of the unexpected, but fine timing, half the audience erupts in wonderful laughter, verging on chortling. The men folk just act a little confused and start off in the distance.

All the best,
um, uncle somebody
