Wow, ticalc.org is pretty desperate for news :)

What else do you expect us to do when we are bored?

How come I wasn't invited to feast on marshmellow peeps?

Wow... Three fake news items all on my front page here... I've NEVER seen that before...

We're desperate, come on :) (I only see one on the front page... how many do you have displayed!?)

7 -- the max, I think. (lol, I'm on 56k too...)

It's amazing. More than 80 replies to a news item like this. I think the TI programming is in a recession period. So, it would be good that somebody makes something interesting, or we're gonna die by the boring.

Boring?

Certainly not!

It's still funny!

Oops! I forgot to check.

*checks* Yup..

OK, I think I've chosen the wrong word. It's just that I'd like to see some nice program reviews in my front page. I like also the funny news, but the really interesting news are lacking.

I agree, I mean this is fun, but having *New* reviews would be really nice. I mean, the newest one was written 2 years ago. There are many people who are happy to volunteer their time to do this, myself included. Just an idea :)

Gerha;t

I agree, it would be really nice to see just about all the files reviewed if possible because then it would be easier to download the ones you like.

That would take years to accomplish. Just think about writing a review for every program on the frontpage every day. Even if there were a 100 reviewers, it would be next to impossible to get all the files reviewed. Hell, just screenshotting the programs on the front page takes a long enough time.

It's not necessary to review every program. You could just take a look what programs are the most downloaded and review them, or the programs that show something new or extraordinary. This is your site, so you choose the programs you or something else could review.

Or, do a distibuted reviewing project. like distributed computing, a bunch of geeks sit back, download their favorite flavor of program, run it on their calc, and write a review. If you get complaints from other reviewers, take the review off in favor of another. that simple. a volunteer mission. please? I NEED SOMETHING TO DO!!! <sobs for hours>

We thought it would take a few months for you two (archivers) to get rid of of the massive amounts in the pending queue but it didn't. If we get about 10 people dedicated people for each calculator the jiob might be able to be finished in a year or less. Anyway it still is unrealistic.

Peeps are the best, they keep you up all night on a sugar high! Maybe the marshmallows got stuck in the servers innards for the downtime, or the server was away for a peep break.

Hey if you haven't seen this, this game is pretty cool, for a webpage based game:

Maybe someone could create a calcwar.com.....

I just ate an 18 pack. I'm gonna puke.

Go run [two miles] directly after! That will do it!

No there's no way to avoid vomiting up peeps - they're completely evil...they look weird, and are just totally disgusting :-)

but they're so good... :p

lol. Not after you just ate an 18-pack.

Why do you put '~'. What is the character called and how is it used? I've always thought it was wierd.

he wants to be different, but who doesn't. It is located to the left of the "1". Got to hold down shift first.

Hey, you stole my title. It's copyrighted, you know.

lol...Micro$oft probably copywrited it and is trying to copywrite the English language alphabet :)

I am making a Manopoly (yes, that is how you spell it) game, but now I might make the properties businesses, such as Boardwalk being Micro$oft (copyright 2003 KermMartian), and all of the other properties being some type of business. Look for it when it comes out. :)

I know where it is but I think it actually has a grammatical use.

It's called a tilde.

Ah, the character keycodes are great. Or did you use the charmap? Where can one find a list of all the microsoft keycodes?

-W-
