Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Grant Fritchey (5/15/2009)


    I live about 1/2 mile from here.

    Hey the worst 3 years of my life were spent in Shrewsbury (6th-8th grade). That's a tough age to move and then go to a different school each year. I had friends that lived in Grafton. Not a bad area.

  • I live here now which is good for having opportunities for User Groups and tech events but not great for outdoors stuff. I used to live here, which was just the opposite, great for outdoors stiff, but hours from anything technical. I like the weather in Florida better because I hate being cold.

    Jack, there's something wrong with your link. It directed to my neighborhood, midtown Memphis.

    Scared me for a sec ...

    Well, since we are showing about where we all live, here is where I live.

    I'm here (most of the time).

    I think I might have been there before but I can't be sure. It does look a bit familiar.

  • Gail,

    sorry to hear about that. I can sympathize a little. I had a car when I lived in San Diego that got broken into 3 times in less than a year. Felt like I was being targeted.

  • In our Island there is one make of car that they always target. Toyota. Especially Yaris.

    DUDE! I've visited that place before. How cool is that?

    And the continent visible is where I live, or more specifically, here

    Not great for usergroups, if I want something like that, I have to organise it. Still weather's good, I'm about an hour away from small mountains (Magalisburg), about 4 hours from bigger mountains (Drakensburg) and maybe 6 hours from the coast, and the country in general is beautiful.

  • Steve,

    Luke's post here is very nice, but it shows a great option for cross-side-scripting (by including an iframe into his post).

    Maybe you should speak with the site developers?

    @luke: Nothing against you!

    Heh. I used to live right across the river from you there, Luke, in West Fairview. Of course that was only for a year, and it was about 30 years ago...

  • yeah I was kinda amazed I could get away with it as well. But I'm lazy and it was the first link I clicked on in Google Maps... Figured I'd try it and see.

    Hehe. That's not an uncommon comment. I showed someone a photo of me (attached) once (the same one I use as an avatar here) and their next question was along the lines of 'Is that how you get to work?' (asked seriously)

    Anyone like to guess where that photo was actually taken?

    Loved the 'twit' in the comments too:

    "Seriously, guy doesn't even recognise the capital city of South Africa!

    Oh wait, or is that Johannesburg...? "

    It's neither. The capital's Pretoria.
