I decided I would poke my head in to see how things were going here, and I get hit by a new theme! (Well, not hit... more like "patted on the head with" ;D)

This topic has received more attention in the past few days than most appear to have received in the past year!

I loved the other theme, but this is a nice change.

I have not been keeping up with the issue like I should have been. Can alternate profiles be submitted to the database or are they local only?

(Wow... this is only my 6th post since June last year. I have been away so long it seems!)

Thanks Gunnar. I do not have a use for it right now, but I have saved GsyLaunch. I am sure it will come in handy at some point. (Nothing wrong sticking with VB3 when it does the job. I still have VB6 installed.)

*reads your Subject title* You say that as if the place has been buzzing with a ton of activity and you have missed out.   (You haven't missed much, unfortunately.)

Warehouse 13 and Alphas are two shows that have been on my "to watch" list, but my list is way too long now, so I have no idea when I might get to them.

Glad to know that you are doing well other than the heat. (I have been melting the past month or so myself.)

So, several months ago, a video was released about random strangers (but all friends of the producer, I think) kissing each other for the first time:



It went viral and sparked a stupid number of parodies. The purpose was an experiment to see how 20 people who had never met would interact, especially knowing they were being recorded. It later received a lot of flack after it was learned that most of the people in the video were already actors. This meant that even though the kisses were impromptu, everyone was already comfortable being on camera with a crew around watching.


But then, this week a different guy released THIS video of 40 people (all friends of his, but only a minimal number of them actors and 4 or 6 with a connection to each other already) slapping each other. Some had never been slapped or never slapped another person before, and it was interesting how a rapport is formed between them as things continued.



I found this one to be a LOT more fun.

My first was an IBM PCJr. Aside from not having to turn the computer back off after inserting a disc, it worked pretty much the same (with a few improvement given a few years had passed) except many of the commands were different between the two companies.

I actually still have mine in storage for the sake of nostalgia.

Try to explain to a 15-year-old what the "save icon" actually means...



New video from the same guys that just happened to be uploaded a few hours after my post here. I would have included it above for it had existed:


My favorite comment is about homework/the library starting at 2:43.

That's what I thought about movies from the 50s when I was young in the early 80s. 30 years really is a long time for someone young.


There is a channel on YouTube where the "Fine Brothers" (who are a part of my generation) show kids, teens, adults, or popular YouTubers different objects and viral videos and comment.

Two of the more recent fun ones are "Kids React to Technology" and are shown...

... a rotary telephone


... and a walkman.



Generation gaps are much wider from a mental standpoint than they are physically.

Wow. Quick thinking and so smooth about it. (He didn't have to give them anything at all, but quickly thought to do that.)

Wow. I'm sure it was helpful for several people back then, though. It looked more interesting than the default manual.


For those who are sick and tired of the movie Frozen and the "Let it Go" soundtrack (*raises hand several times*) here is a nice change of pace...

He was a very good man.

May he rest in piece and God bless his friends and family.

We've been dodging tornadoes and flood warnings for the past few days.

Our area has been very lucky so far given some close calls and the unfortunate circumstances for those who were not as lucky as we.
