Correct! Thank you, Admiral. As for you, people, run while you still can.

...once people asked me to send them a couple of test messages so that they could test something.

So I told them:

What is the tree testing when it falls in forest without a single iOS device around for miles and miles and miles.

And then I added:

Oh, and there was supposed to be a question mark at the end of that last passage.

Were they satisfied? No. They asked for more. And, times being what they are, they wanted photos, not just plain old text.

By the way the answer to the earlier question about the tree falling down in the forest goes like this:

It's testing the OSX app, which too tends to crash when you're not looking.

Did everyone wait for me to change my private username to something ugly with an underscore to start mentioning me in every group message?

Sticker of the day:

Psst. Wanna get some sleep? I know people who could fix you up with a few hours on the cheap.

Unless you're an iOS dev.

I'm not gonna push any sleep to iOS devs. Stuff like that can land you in serious trouble with boss man.

We've lost two members during the night. Something horrible crept out of the well and dragged them both in.

On the other hand, I only have the member count: was 68, is 66 now. It could have well been that the well thing dragged a full dozen away – and then a fresh party of ten joined us in the morning.

Anyhow, I'm glad the rest of you are alive and kicking.

I wonder now, how long could this thing survive and how popular can it get without a decent photo. I don't exactly mind the letter M, but some of the backgrounds it gets every now and then... Green and blue are fine. But pink, really?

Don't you ever use pink in your profile pictures, you brutal people.

...Posting without feedback is like dropping messages into a well. The only difference is that they don't make a splash, save for the view counters maybe.

Luckily, this is just the beginning.

...I've just realized that a well had been mentioned here before. Better not drop anything down THAT one — judging by the member count today, the thing is still sleeping after yesterday's meal.

And while it's asleep, we can safely usher in a few new members. Bring your friends, you'll need them when it wakes up.

Street musicians play their irritating drums right by my windows, so whenever there's something big to be done, I put on my headphones and turn on something like this thing:
