Why are cookies called cookies if you can’t eat them? :cry:

I forgot to tell you I used a bunch of different browsers trying to log on and nothing worked so it might not have been cookies or cache but it’s working now so that doesn’t matter anymore :cool:

p.s. you always come up with a better solution :mrgreen:

Never had the problem – just re-logged in after the server move. Using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.7

‘C’ is for Cookie! :mrgreen:

If you’re so brilliant, answer the question.

I been having problem logging in and getting to the website on the new server.At first it only had taken me a few tries to get the the website.This last time it had taken me forever to finally get back to your new website,and be able to post.It was hours this past time. I couldn’t get to the new website.I cleared the cookies and deleted my history.It just seem to started working all of a sudden!Not even after I cleared my cookies and history and stuff ,it still wouldn’t work after doing that.I just seemed to get lucky to get to your new site Marina,not sure what is causing me to have problems getting to the website,it either never loads up or a get a error that this website does not exist,or is having problems.Hopefully this will be the last time I have trouble accessing this website!Thank you for your time :!:

your comment was about the opposite of brilliant moron

It was a question for a lady who likes to explain the origin of words. I’d like to know why computer cookies are called “cookies.” Do you know?

Tommy’s Cookies :mrgreen:

Cookie Doh!
This doesn’t answer the question, but it has some useful information :mrgreen:

There was that fairy tale about how this kid got out of a maze by leaving magic cookie crumbs to mark where he had been…

Though it really came from the UNIX “magic cookie”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_cookie

Marina, I had some trouble uploading my avatar. On some of the images I could not crop them, there were just 2 boxes with question marks.

Makes sense. Cookies leave a trail of crumbs, similar to a trail of electronic data.

Glad you finally figured out how the caps key works and how to add some punctuation.

Maybe the designer was eating a cookie while he was designing it.

I woke this morning to find a blank screen where HFW shoulda been. Same thing around 2pm CST. Zip zilch Nada 86 Bye bye.
I was very pleased when I buzzed in around 4:30 to find everything up and running. The only casualties I see are a few Tweets and TwitPics that didn’t stay linked.

(It’s working.)

Woodchuck to Gray Squirrel, Woodchuck to Gray Squirrel – come in Gray Squirrel.
I made it and logged in with no problems Gray Squirrel, over. :grin:

Tuh-weak! Wish we had some notice BEFORE she did that! :lol:

*sniff* And no one noticed I was not commenting on such a geeky subject. ;)

That being said I could explain why the move pole-axed identity cookies but does anyone really care.

I just like the idea of me having a shiny shiny new server with extra Gigs in it to leave my worthwhile missives :P

Thank Marina.. Job well done.

:???: Did you get this message…

:smile:

hello

:razz:

Underdog Theme

Awwwww, come here Veritanuda…you need a hug! Veritas!

I’m telling Mr. Big!

That was the post… Thought I’d try after I got the message…
Thanks for getting back to me!

Yes :-)

Why did it kill the cookies?

Still no luck in the forums, that is, to log in! :???: Maybe my deleting system is controlled by the neo-American {demo-commies}…what ever happened to your Republic of Lexicon? Oh well!

Because eating raw dough might make you have an unexpected bowel movement? :lol:

Yep… you only get the latest version of this page if you are logged on.
Now it reverts back 20 hours.
When I logged in with firefox it updated but I logged out and came back and it reverted right back. Then I used safari and it is also 20 hours ago.

If you have found a way to freeze time… I want in :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing :mrgreen:

I bet Marina is all but wore out after this debacle.
Still got a bug in the reply/comments email notifications.
That’s all I’ve got. Anyone else still finding bugs?
Maybe we can get it down to a short list for Marina. :mrgreen:

What is the problem you are getting with the comment notifications?

Well… The explanation is kinda technical (combined data hashes and auth domains) but essentially if you ticked the box to say Remember Me, you were left a cookie that persisted without being overwritten on a new login. The problem was not restricted to logins for comments it was applicable to logins full stop. However, clearing the cookie cache forced regeneration with the correct credentials with the current domain hash.

Depending on whether you had configured your browser to eliminate cookies upon a new session (usually for privacy reasons) depends on whether the cookies remained persistent from session to session.

I like the white theme Marina. Makes my mood a lot lighter, even if I do still need a hug.. *sighs*

;-)

@melikadothechacha test

I didn’t notice anything wrong with the reply/comments and this page is NOT frozen anymore :cool:

p.s. when you change DNS numbers, sometimes it takes a while for them to catch up all over the internet

I didn’t get an email notification of your response to this comment. I checked my settings and they’re set to send me one – but, no joy. :|
I still get friend request emails, etc. just not comment reply notifications (go figger)

Let me know if you get it now? Check your spam folder as well.

Thanks!

D*mn Spam! :x
There it was – problem fixed :mrgreen:
I should have caught that :oops:
I guess I’m not a perfect a$$ :grin:

Hello, Miss Marina.
The tabs that used to be at the top of the page now appear as a left hand column which overlays the normal page layout. This bug displays both while logged out and logged in.

You know, I am kind-of sick of the website not responding, the server “not found” The “error 404″ when visiting a member profile, the avatars not uploading, the tabs of the top bar appearing on the left column, not being able to log in, pages taking 3 years to load. So I am going to leave for a week or so and let you figure this all out.

That was quick. That issue now appears to have been fixed.

Why did the christmas cookies feel relieved after December 25th passed(?)

Coz a Keebler elf told em that Santa comes but only once a year

omg… I’m even embarassed {vicariously} :oops:
p.s. only kidding :mrgreen:

Yes… one time someone reported a problem or something and she wrote “Why is this? So weird!” then she figured it out and wrote up the explanation in under 3 minutes.

I’m hardly ever amazed at anybody / anything but she got me 3 or 4 times already.

Hey , be right back. I can be log. Well it’s amazing because I never log or comment. See you beautifull woman Marina

Dear Marina,
I can log in and comment, now. You did great work. I notice your count of number of views has exceeded 336 Million. When you crossed the mark of 333,333,333, I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on one-third Billion views! Your numbers are reaching astronomical levels!
I hope you enjoyed your vacation in Spain and the Mediterranean. It must be great fun to enjoy the beaches, the nice weather, and the gigantic luxury yachts! I hope you enjoyed great food, cool beverages, good music, great times, and you come back to us healthy, happy and relaxed! My adventure for this weekend is that I going to see the movie, “Salt.” Angelina Jolie portays someone who might be a Russian spy, so it sounds thrilling!

@marina now something is wrong, I didn’t get the email notification on this one (I checked spam). And this page was created on the new server?

I was going to ajax edit my last comment below and say everything is unbelievably fast (it still is) but look at this…

You can’t catch me ’cause the rabbit done died!

Hello Me Lika Do The Cha Cha that was a very cool :!: I love Aerosmith :!: That was a hot woman in the video,at least I thought so until the end.Man would that guy what would that guy have done if he had known who he was talking too :!: Peace :!: :cool: :smile:

I can play almost all of the Police,
including the remakes.
It took awhile to tweak the effects
boxes to get the sound exactly right. :cool:
You might like this one from
Andy Summers – XYZ :mrgreen:

Can you play Don’t stand so close to me ,and the king of pain by the police.I love both of these songs :!: :cool: :smile:

Yes! … and the remakes, too :mrgreen:
Some other bands I cover are Metallica,
Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Candlebox,
AC/DC, Black Crows, Bush, Everclear,
INXS, the Silencers, Robert Plant, Led Zep,
Weezer, Pearl Jam, Extreme, Tom Petty,
and on and on… (been at it a few years)
This one’s fun to play -> The Hollies
I love to watch the looks on peoples faces when they ask me to play “Stairway to Heaven”, and I bang it out on whatever guitar they got -heh heh

Wow… I never heard that song before. It sounds very stingy / policey because of the add 9th notes (and flanger?)… but without stings high vocals.

I copy a lot of great guitar parts also and make up my own.
I have an acoustic version of message in a bottle…
pretty cool, here are the first 4 chords,

capo fourth fret…

@marina no email notification on this page again.

The way it works for me is this:
If a song catches my ear, I get
a copy and play it to death until
I get every note (timing is everything).
This is one I got via Marina:
Ron Jenkees
It’s fun to play, I can do all the sweeps
and grunge – but I keep wanting to
improvise on top of his sound.

I do a version of Zombie (Cranberries) and What if God (Joan Osborne) where I have melodies of the vocals imposed over the main melody so it sounds like two people playing separately.

I don’t capo so much; I detune and
that way I can play off the nut. :mrgreen:
Every Breath You Take is a real finger stretcher…
…and you HAVE to use your thumb, or you can’t
make the transitions fast enough to keep time.

If Marina doesn’t post something soon, I may have to tell another anecdote…. just sayin’

What the…???!!
The Twitter box is gone? :shock:
by design, or accident?

It was hanging.. I put it back as it’s ok now.

What great talent you must have to play all these different songs :!: Andy Summers Love Is The Strangest Way was very good.For the Police I forgot about every breathe you take,also forgot Roxanne.Metallica what do you play from them,also AC/DC and alot more of what you play is very numerous to mention :!: The Hollies Long Cool Woman IN A Black Dress was a cool song the women with the big mellons and the black dress is sexy :!:Ronald Jenkees Guitar Sound is my favorite theme songs that Marina uses :!: Thank you for the info. and the different video’s Me LIka Do The Cha Cha Peace :!: :cool: :smile:

If you go to my YouTube page and check out the Playlist, you’ll find a fair number of songs assembled that I play along with to stay on top of my game. I’m still looking for a bunch more I need to add, but it’s a good start. :mrgreen:

What is the name of your site on you tube,I sure would like to check it out :!: :cool: :smile:

DPS670950′s YouTube Channel
Hmmm… it was linked to my screenname here at one point.
I guess that feature got shanked in the upgrade.

@ Marina – Will we be able to link to our YT channel anymore?

Do cookies? .. a joke? sorry for the lost of your Teacher Assistant :cry:

Oh.. and why are they called cookies in the first place? Might make for a good lesson

:lol: ..{recipe}..spys must eat cookies and die :lol: I’ll hang back :|

The Netscape-browser was the first to implement cookies, they came up with the idea to add it for webpages.

Here is a correct but not perticularly useful, actually a bit disappointing description:

According to an article written by Paul Bonner for Builder.Com on 11/18/1997:

“Lou Montulli, currently the protocols manager in Netscape’s client product division, wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology. Montulli says there’s nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: ‘A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. The term fits the usage precisely; it’s just not a well-known term outside of computer science circles.’”

http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#1.1

___

The wikipedia-article makes it bit more clear:

A magic cookie or just cookie for short, is a token or short packet of data passed between communicating programs, where the data is typically not meaningful to the recipient program. The contents are opaque and not usually interpreted until the recipient passes the cookie data back to the sender or perhaps another program at a later time. The cookie is often used like a ticket — to identify a particular event or transaction. The name “cookie” comes from a comparison to an unopened fortune cookie, because of the hidden information inside.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_cookie

Any other questions ? :-)

Wow.. and I thought it came from cookie crumbs! That actually would be a good lesson to do then.

While I did know the first part, I wasn’t sure about the second either. So it was informative to me too. :-)

Lady M had a hanging Twitter box??? :???:

:shock:

I noticed the edit problem too but it was only at 8 levels deep… where there would be no reply button. Keep going and you might see it happen.

edit: Ouch… all the tests are gone

The comment box gets smaller and smaller as you go deeper but that is a good thing because your comment will also have that same width.
But the “click to edit” text gets schmooshed into nothing as you go deep.

You can still see the edit button, though, correct?

No… it goes out of the div or whatever it is in. invisible

I noticed it here…
http://www.hotforwords.com/2010/08/23/apologize/#comment-184260
couldn’t edit

Matrix was also 8 deep

Oy…

I just moved the edit button to the left.. does it still happen?

test

no… it is fantastic now, no more scruntch either…
http://www.gootar.com/hfw/cte.png

p.s. If I make a comment then add in an @someone later in the edit… they don’t get it, correct?
Because it was ajax’d and not submitted?
And there is nothing that can be done about this one?

edit @charles-2

edit2 @charles-2

wow… the link on the regular at someone is doubled up for no reason

hmmm… everytime you edit a comment that has an at someone in it, it ads more links to it

Test comment and a fix

cool:)

I like this New Site News tab… and the clear cache instructions are (4 me) straight-forward and easy. TY
