mick_laptop: I'm slowly moving all my domains to gandi.net. They won me over with their motto, "no bullshit".
whoops
jlgaddis: is gandi.net cheaper or equivalent to godaddy.com ? do they do IPv6 glue for ns records?
I'll put up with stupid adds and such if I know how to cut to the chase and save $$
Gandi are good. I have a few domains with them. It helps if you can speak a bit of French if you ever need to talk to tech support.
man,  I'm loving 'Waze'
I'm in the top 1000 in the world in waze
(A gps/navigation app for smartphones)
RandalSchwartz: nice.  I just picked it up yesterday.  already approved to be an area manager for my hometown.  been editing and fixing maps like a madman.
RandalSchwartz: do you ever edit the map at all?  or do you just drive with it on?
I've done some edits
and I've also bitched about some breakage
I *hate* that their site occasionally shows my account username AND password in the URL,  as plaintext.  specifically when I view the forums or wiki
the problem is when I drive... I can't type!
so I say "this is broken"
and then I get a note back ... "WHAT is broken?"
I've also driven over a *lot* of dots :)
and plowed quite a few new roads
*nod*  I just cleared 38 "general error" reports with absolutely no information.  some as old as 480 days  (not many waze users around here yet)
yeah, the problem is that there should be a button that informs *me* to go onto the website to remember what the hell was wrong
instead of pinging you, and then getting a "what the f" 45 days later
I'm not quite sure how to tell if a new road needs plowed yet.  but I'm sure I'll be doing a fair amount of that.  since the hurricane,  we've lost a lot of roads,  and added a lot of new roads.
have you seen my new bearding?
... http://xrl.us/merlynthebearded
There is an option the area manager can select that says "need more info"
I can't say I've ever seen a pic of you,  with or without bearding.
20 days into the experiment
well if you look at the first pic, you can see how I looked 20 days ago
man.   I wish mine grew as slow as yours.
I can't tell.  are you trimming the neck area,  or just letting it grow caveman style?
I am trimming the neck a bit
that part was coming in very sparse, and just itchy
once I got rid of that, the rest makes sense
with no exaggeration,   my "day 5"  or "day 7" would look like your day 20
yeah - I have limited testosterone, apparently :)
whatever it is,  I'm envious.  I *hate* shaving.
well - before the beard, I absolutely had to shave every day
now I have to trim every few days to keep the ugly parts from showing up
so I don't know that you have anything to envy

added a comment,  to add the feature you just mentioned.  you can vote for it, if interested.
checking it out
just updated that thread
cool
ahh, it's there now
what I do right now, is..  if I'm in an area that is wrong (and a LOT of them are around here.. becuase so few people use it, and all the reconstruction after the hurricane)   I actually submit update requests with complete info.  then, since I'm the aea manager.. when I get home..  I do the actual edits with my own notes ;)
I think the reminder email would be good though.  I've talked to about a dozen users now, who didn't realize they could update the maps for areas they've driven.
basically:  YOU know what was wrong, and why you reported it.   It'd be awesome if YOU go update the map.  (granted, not everyone has the time, patience, interest, or know how to do it..  but if even 5% of the users do..  that's still a lot of additional help.
up_the_irons: Are there any issue with the servers ?
as my VPS is giving me a bunch of runtime went backword issues
cpet: "sysctl kern.hz" ?
Yes might need to play with that
FreeBSD defaults to 1000
Yeah, general recommended value for VMs is 100, AIUI.
I will mess with it after I finish a FreeBSD port
