Was Cleveland the last time they saw each other, or is Rob Reed’s “A
Wrinkle in Time” now canon? Or has that even happened yet?
And, Ginny, before you get ideas, remember what Elaine Benis said:
“Being a woman, I only really have access to the equipment, what, 30-45 minutes a week, and that’s on a good week. How can I be expected to have the same expertise as people who own this equipment and have access to it 24 hours a day their entire lives?”

If the browser sees no updates for 30 seconds for a normal, non-keep-alive web page, it assumes there is an interruption, but the server could still be working on the request. Servers should be designed to avoid the problem, but it’s a pretty common kind of malfunction, especially when something causes pages to load a lot slower than the developer expected.
Though really that’s two mistakes, since servers can and should be designed to prevent double-posting/double-submission errors.
I think there is an unmarked parity break in the dialog, such that “You don’t call” and all subsequent bubbles of the same parity here are Tip’s lines. That would mean Tip is being the more dramatic one here.
I think it has to do with the notifications stuff. I know that, even though I’ve been checking the “Notify” checkbox in every message, I stopped getting the emails and have been forced to check the site manually, like in the prehistoric ages. Or, y’know, like it was before last month.
I once dated a Narbon,
I went out with this Narbon,
Went to bed with Artie Narbon,
Then we went our separate ways …
Never heard from that Narbon,
Got no word from that Narbon,
How absurd that doggone Narbon
Doesn’t call for days and days …
Now Ginny’s worried ’bout sharing a room,
Just being close to me makes her nervous!
She’s stuck in her own little cloud of gloom
While we argue ’bout the bill for room service!
Don’t like the hair of that Narbon,
But I’ll still stare at that Narbon,
Wish I were there with just that Narbon!
(I don’t care where Ginny stays!)
I don’t know what Jeff and Shaenon were thinking, or what the kids are calling it these days, but in my day “room service” referred to an established couple who brought in a third party for sex, so this made me snigger.
Wow… Tip is MUCH less dramatic than I expected. But Ginny is one-track-minded as ever… :p
mnem
I have earring that would go perfectly with his hair!

“Well YOU have pretentious hair.”
“well YOU’RE a Dum-Dum face! Nyeeeeeeah!
Then Nick appears and shows ’em how it’s done.

It said fatal 30 second error, so I reposted faster, then it posted both anyway. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Yeah, I get that error every time I post lately too, but I reload and the message went through.
I got that message on a Yahoo Group, too. I think it’s all over the place.

Oscar: Yes on the dialog — given the previous encounter, it doesn’t make sense for Artie to be mooning after Tip.
I just assumed it was some glitch in the time-matrix
I get em, too But as Dave said, just refresh and you’ll see it’s there.
It’s not that you didn’t type fast enough or something in posting. I think it’s a timeout error on the page refreshing after you hit submit.

If Nick hadn’t made such a big deal, Dr Lee probably wouldn’t be agonizing so much over it. She’d still be all excited about all the zombies!
Working with a woman you’ve slept with is anything but awkward. Awkward is:
1) Working with a woman you’ve just split up with.
2) The two (or more, if you really like living dangerously) women you’re sleeping with start comparing notes at your staff meeting.
“staff meeting”?!?
Awkward is working with two or more people who are/were sleeping with each other, who won’t shut up about it.

wait, who has pretentious hair?
Which proves the point, never order room service food.
So you can dish it out but you can’t take it, hey, Tip?
(and just like that, my head is full of yaoi.)

Which is to say, 20. I really did stop putting these in my list document.
