Very quiet today!

What is wrong?

Everybody must be happy little Publisher people.

Are the newsgroups broke?

=======================================
A few messages are trickling in now but apparently
the servers have been having problems.

I heard a story on the news that a pet Kangaroo
barked and saved his owner after a fall.

I didn't know a Kangaroo could bark.

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

Probably having problems due to the flood of viruses around and the amount
of traffic.

They don't bark, and you could not even say the sound they make comes close
to sounding like a bark.

Difficult to explain the sound. I would say if you kiss the air fast with
your lips pursed forward, that is what it sounds like.

Yes John, I am sitting here practicing it for you to ensure that is what it
sounds like LOL

The NGs have been read-only all day while the hash tables were being
rebuilt.

==================================
Yeah, the virus attack has been relentless.

I did a local file cleanup of OE newsgroups,
and like you said...lots of them downloaded
again. Seems like they would remove them.
==================================

They don't bark, and you could not even

==================================
Oh well...it was a good story anyway.
==================================

Difficult to explain the sound. I would say if

==================================
Sounds like a fart...huh?
==================================

Yes John, I am sitting here practicing it for
you to ensure that is what it sounds like LOL

==================================
Well, at least you are staying busy.

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

Ah ha, now what are 'hash tables'? That is a new one on me.

--

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

John you need to suck IN - not blow out.

Staying busy is an understatement. Just to much work and not enough play.

[John Inzer]

John you need to suck IN - not blow out.

===============================
Ahhh, more like a kiss...huh?
===============================

Staying busy is an understatement. Just
to much work and not enough play.

===============================
Sooo....does that mean you are a dull boy?

hash tables were being rebuilt.

=====================================
Hi Suzanne,

That explains it...I knew something must be going
on.

All I know is I did a cleanup and redownloaded my
messages about an hour ago and several of 156k
messages containing the virus showed up again.
Apparently, they're still on the server.

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

Yep, they sure are still all on the server. I just did a clean-up and
re-set and they are all there in all their glory.

My message of yesterday about MS failing to clean the virus was totally
valid!!!

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

John when I have got to much work, yes, I am a very dull boy.

Yeah, more like a kiss, but do it fast. Pity I don't have a microphone
attached to the computer, so I could record it for you. I have managed to
get it down pretty damn well. You sort of need to suck your tongue down
into the bottom of your mouth at the same time. The sound level of the
noise a kangaroo would make is nowhere near as loud as a dog. Due to the
lowish frequency of the sound, it does travel a reasonable distance.

==================================
I was just referring to an old saying.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

I guess we could change it to:
"All work and no play makes David a dull boy"

So now you sound like a kangaroo...at least
the day wasn't a total loss.

So...what's the deal on Dingos? Are they like
dogs?

 

[John Inzer]

==================================
Absolutely!

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

Ah, dingos are special and wombats are extra special. Dingos like dogs,
well they look quite like a dog, but thats were it ends. Trying to compare
them to a domesticated animal to a wild animal is not possible. Dingos
would not attack an adult. I get to areas that others don't get to, and
consequently the animals are reasonably fearless of humans. Australian
animals are nocturnal which means they only come out at night, or in
mid-winter when cold and overcast during the day. If you move around the
bush slowly and delicately at night in an area not frequented by humans, you
can get quite close up to the animals after a few nights. This time last
year when I had more time on my hands to do what I want, I spent a
considerable amount of time in the bush in the one location, and could walk
around without the animals being bothered. It is quite an experience to get
to that stage. I could walk around the dingo pups without the parents been
the least bit perturbed. I could walk up to the wombats with no fear at
all, and one would come up to me to get a scratch and rub on the head.
Fortunately, none of the Australian animals attack you and do any damage.
If you get a kangaroo in a corner they will kick you, and would not like to
be the recipient of a kangaroo kick, but you would have to be damned
unlucky. In the area I regularly go to there are few kangaroos, generally
mainly wallabies. Wallabies of which there are many species are like young
children - playful. When you climb over the rocks gently at night, it looks
like they are playing hide and seek with you. The wallabies in the area I
frequent are reasonably black and highly inquisative. They have such pretty
faces and fine features. Wallabies come in a large range of colours
according to the species. Normally you only see pictures with the common
brown wallaby also known as a pademelon.
Australian birdlife and wildlife is just amazing. You need to realise, I
have a backyard of wilderness that is about the same size as the UK.
I think Australian birdlife and wildlife is more special to people like
myself that decided to make Australia my home. In the area I live in
Australia, there are 112 species of Australian birds that live in the area
permanently. When I say birds, that includes all the cockatoo, parrots and
other magnificent species that Australia has.
When you consider that Australia and the US are pretty damn close in
area/size, and Australia only has the same population as greater Los
Angeles, there is a lot of areas that see few to no people.

Quiet is good......

Wow! Very interesting and informative.

When I used to joke with you about Koalas
I had no idea you were such a nature lover.

Thank you.
