call me stupid but isn't it time DPC will hire another web master?
Just think if something real happened to longdon? How can a web site like this be depended only on one person?

Tough S___ !! Life's not Fair ! ....j/k.

I was actually looking forward to ending the voting on my why image (with a score I'm happy with) and start voting on transitions (with a photo I'm happy with)

There is another. There's Drew!

The site belongs to Drew & Langdon and they've done a damn good job managing it for 5 years. So what if there's a hiccup here now and then - keeps things from gettign boring! ;)

Notice he only says he went to bed early. Maybe somebody was in there with him, and in that case, we totally understand. ;-)

When that site belongs to only two people - it can easily depend on just those two people. And they alone decide how to share the responsibilities to the site.

So what if it's not a perfect-running site ? It's damn good, they've done great in the time I've been here.

Let's cut them some slack, poke a little good-humoured fun, and relax.

To err is human after all.

OK that's what we need. langdon write a script called virtual alarm and attach it to the loudest most annoying .mp3 file. Put a on/off and time option in our preference area. That way we can set our DPCvertual Alarm to keep from over sleeping. I would set mine to go off 30 minutes before rollover.

You could set yours so you wake up to make sure the script runs.

As I said in my post somewhere on page 21; skip pages 16-19. The pyramid delirium was in full effect. =D

Anyway, not to worry - it has been fun!

Ok a question for the SC.

Are we allowed to shoot then today for the "pure" and "transitions II" challenges since the rollover was longer, would shots dated the 13th of June be legal? I know I can always just set the camera to the 12th but then I would always know I was cheating :P

I'll save you any excuses and just tell you that I stupidly went to bed early last night (~9:30) feeling confident that the rollover script would run smoothly. I even had a dream that I received a text message from someone telling me that it failed.

The good news is that my new AIM client (Asleep Instant Messaging) appears to work perfectly!

I'm glad this didn't happen on April 1st.

Yeah, no worries about the glitch. Apparently people took their frustrations out on the Candid entries. :-/

The SC peeked at my entry for "Transitions," and saw that it had potentially disturbing ramifications because it's the awesomeist image ever submitted to DPC, and could literally break the voting scripts and screw up 5 years worth of stats.

I can't imagine the scheming that must be going on right now.

Yes, awesomeist.

Dreamer!

funny. i had that same ~~delusion~~dream...
