Jana | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 12:59 pm  p.s.s. when people type the this: (sic)...what does that mean please? the only thing i could come up with is "said in context" is that right? |
Teecee | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 01:11 pm  (sic) means "thus" in Latin, meaning basically it is a direct quote and not a typo or mistake. The best example I can think of, off the top of my head, is "George W. Bush said, 'we should help the Kosovarians (sic).'" (sic) indicating that Dubya is the one making the mistake and not the poor writer. I think you pretty much understood it anyway |
Lindarebecca | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 01:44 pm  not sure if this is the place to ask this or not, but I have not been able to log onto any of the live feeds all day. Has anyone else had this problem? NONE of the feeds are working for me and I'm going through withdrawl HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLP!!! |
Wendo | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 02:12 pm  Jana, In my defense, I'd just like to add that I specifically said within my post that I wasn't trying to call out Janine when I posted my comments last night and I tried to word my comments as such. I made sure to include that I, too, make mistakes as well. If my comments came across improperly, then I apologize to Janine. Again, I wasn't calling Janine on the carpet, I was merely using her post as an example to clarify my comments about using all caps and screaming at the other posters. I didn't post my comments in the live section, I posted here in the comments and suggestions section (that's why it's here, right?) Personally, I fully expect to receive feedback when I make mistakes etc. I want to know how to be a better poster for the group. In fact, that is why I suggested this forum initially. Secondly, I didn't email Janine directly because we have the comments section here and it is my understanding that this is the place to make such comments (and also, (1) I don't have her email address and (2) I personally prefer not to email people directly because many people don't like that.) Again, that is why I requested this type of forum, so that people can read comments and suggestions from the posters and readers to help improve their reporting. I didn't mean to start a bruhaha about this. When I requested this forum awhile back I expected it to be read as constructive criticism and not to be taken personally. Perhaps I've got too much BB on the brain and need to take a break... |
Bigbrofan | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 03:19 pm  Wendo- That's exactly how I feel. Janine is a wonderful poster. I would just hate to see the live feed area turn into a big debate. I posted that and said I love her posting and the constructive criticism was to all of us, not just her. I didn't mean for it to sound as if it was JUST Janine. Apparently it sounded that way, from the responses it seems that way anyway! |
Karenskid | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 07:00 am  Hi all. Just read on bigbrother.com that they are having a live chat session with Karen tonight (friday) at 7pm eastern. Should be interesting. |
Katf | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 07:08 am  F1/2 - Yard, Cass is up and feeding/cleaning up after chickens F3/4 - Dard bedrooms |
Karenskid | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 07:09 am  Hi again. Sorry - correct address for that chat is http://webcenter.bigrother2000.aol.com/entertainment/NON/ or www.bigbrother2000.com should get you there too. |
Teecee | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 10:04 am  I have a suggestion for those archiving the live feed updates (who are doing a great job btw): it looks like the archives have been reorganized so that as soon as the day is over, the updates for that day go straight into the archives. How about making it sort of like the way it was previously, so that the archives for at least the last two days stay on the top level of the 'live feeds' folder before getting tossed into the 'live feed archives' folder? Reason being, I'm sure most ppl go to sleep before midnight PDT and when they wake up and want to see what happened overnight, they now have to go one extra folder to get the updates from earlier that night. Not such a big deal (it only saves like two clicks), hope this is understandable... |
Joynow98 | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 10:45 am  I just wanted to say that I've been enjoying the live feed posting for weeks now. I really appreciate all the hard work and patience that you guys have. I also would like to say that I really enjoyed the editorializing. It was very entertaining....I used to find myself laughing out loud, and it really helped to get to know the personality of the poster. I do understand that it bugs some people though. However, I feel that some people are taking things way too seriously and it is taking all the fun out of it. I think that everyone should maintain politeness and respect for those taking the time to post rather than watching over their shoulders and chastising them for just being human and involved...and often very humorous. hehehe Thanks so much everyone for posting and keeping me up to date. |
Philitup23 | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 01:52 pm  is bb on fridays?? because on the eastern coast there is no bb, its football, can some1 please answer this for me, asap! |
Philitup23 | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 02:08 pm  WHY IS BB NOT ON FRIDAYS? |
Ryn | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 02:17 pm  this is NOT for general questions try the general discussion area - thanks |
Admin | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 03:42 pm  Email I received... I must admit to being a BB hater initially. As I look back on it, I realise that my problem stemmed from only watching what CBS showed me on the one-hour rap-up each week. The show seemed boring, and Chen should held under water untill she stops talking. But several days ago I found your site. Thank God! I don't have access to a realplayer while at work, so monitoring on my own is impossible. Without your site I would probably have stopped watching the show, and would have missed the true drama that is occuring. I just wanted to drop you this line to let you know that what you have built is important and usefull. Thank you again. Sincerely, David XXXXXXXX Cleveland, OH |
Wavgoddess | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 04:53 pm  I would like to tell everyone what an awesome job you do. I love the editorial notes when they help to understand the current situation. Also just wanted to identify the Butthole Surfers song it is called Pepper. You can listen to a clip of it (the clip that Brit was trying to sing actually) on cdnow website. It is on the Electriclarryland CD. Thanks again for all your posting maybe when we get our dsl line I can actually get the feeds well enough to post some too. |
Jana | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 07:54 pm  alright, i give up....what the heck is the w/c...i mean i figured out it's the bathroom (i think), but what does it stand for? sorry, im a stupid Texan....jana |
Teecee | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 08:03 pm  w/c is short for water closet (old school term for toilet) |
Ryn | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 08:21 pm  that term is still used in the UK |
Jana | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 09:36 pm  thank you to everyone that posted today...i'm not done yet, but everyone did an EXCELLENT job on the map challenge! thanks to TeeCee for helping on that,,,,keep up the good work guys....i think we could make a book out of all these posts and sell it jana |
Jana | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 09:55 pm  to SNAVE: it is really really too bad that you do not have an email here....i hope that you read this....i have to say that your posts are HILARIOUS....some of the best posts i have ever read here...so descriptive and completely funny....skinny hulk.....hee hee, i have been giggling forever over your posts! (p.s. if someone knows snave's email, please pass this along to her/him) |
Teecee | Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 12:05 am  thanks Jana - most dramatic thing I have seen so far (only been doing feeds for three days now) which is a very sad thing to say. Wish I'd seen the pie-eating contest last week, those are some hilarious reports |
Ryn | Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 11:27 pm  Teecee, Tuesdays are bad because that is nomination day. Not sure if it will be so this tuesday since the show for nominations is on Thursday because of the 2 hour survivor show. |
Teecee | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 01:12 am  Sorry Ryn - I have no idea what you are referring to |
Karen | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 05:51 am  Does anyone else use the Broadband Feeds? and .. if so, have you had problems with them the last couple of days? I don't know if it is my computer or them.. but I cannot get any video on the individual feeds.. only on f7. audio comes through fine.. but screen is black. I have to use the modem feeds for the individual ones. This happens whether I use Real Player or BBLive |
Ryn | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 05:58 am  oh well treece - someone asked why tuesday was stessful in the bb house - thought it was you ;) |
