    I thought it was damn, it feels good to be a gangster.

    And I was gonna agree, cause I got mad street cred and I’ve done the dirt.

    Hey, Crosby made a play.

      why does it feel like there like nine A’s fans in the world right now?

    Jesus; HR in every other park, and triple if it hadn’t bounced over the fence…. He better score.

    Interesting facts:
    According to Geren’s lineup, Buck is a worse hitter than Cabrera, Kennedy, and Crosby. That is curious.

    • Leopold Bloom May 16,2009 4:49 pm || Up

      Have we ever given Geren any cognitive tests?

      • mikeA May 16,2009 4:52 pm || Up

        Yeah, we tried him as manager of the A’s.

        I think he might have one of those conditions where you show him numbers Bobby Crosby and he sees colors or hears sounds a Major League ballplayer.

    I fucking hate Final Cut. I could fry an egg on my computer right now.

    There's a wild thing in the woolshed and it's keeping me awake at night.

      What’s final cut?

      • Poppy May 16,2009 5:34 pm || Up

        Video editing software. It’s actually not that bad to use (other than the fact that I’ve heard news editors in the real world don’t use it, so I’m being required to learn it for nothing).

        I’m hot and cranky and hot and tired and hot and hot. When does the fog get home?

    Exciting News

    And no, I don’t mean the game.

    After spending an entire day coding, I believe I have unread comments tied into the database (rather than computer-specific cookies) and the “mark all read” link works.

    Can people hop over to betakraut and see if it works for them? It’s a pretty major change, so I don’t want to move it over here until I hear from people that it’s working.

      Mark all read works on Camino

      Logging in on Firefox and Safari on the same computer (best I can do from here) still shows them as read.

      Someone will have to post another comment there for me to check whether marking subsequent new comments as read now persists.

          Not seeing anything new over there (no unread comments in any browser).

            How about now?

              Nope – what’s the link?

      Totally.
