Curlyq | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:53 pm     Is this board slowing down? My cable connection is out so I'm having to resort to using the dial-up, but it seems like it's taking longer than ever to load each page. Am I just spoiled by the cable or is this site getting heavy traffic tonight because of the concert? P.S. Thanks, Flyonthewall. I've been keeping an eye on that thread. I always love when you guys post screen caps! |

Bb3analyst | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:56 pm     yes, i've had a couple of short freezes but actually very little. I do have a 400k cable modem; a 2 gig p4 processor cpu and 1 meg of ram memory. All that helps of course. Like I said, the idea comes from how slooow my ie6 messages are posting as compared to regular when realplayer has little drain. Dedicating ram memory and having lots of memory will provide maximum buffering and bandwidth for realplayer. Shut off all programs except realplayer to maximize your resources for realplayer. Of course your primary pleasure of being able to read this board will be eliminated. |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:57 pm     Curly -- bad about your cable. :-( The site was very slow earlier for me, but the last 10 minutes or so fairly normal (fast) for me. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:58 pm     Oh good gosh, get a move on already!!! |
Babyruth | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Popcorn is ready!! |
Wendo | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:00 pm     Twinkle, I saw the set up too. It was quite a set up, I agree. I think it's going to surpass all their expectations. It looked great. btw, forgot to add in my last post, in the lizard cage their seemed to be a CD case. |
Alib | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:00 pm     So what time does the 10 o'clock concert start!!!! |

Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:02 pm     Bb3 --Boy, I'd hate to be here tonight on my last computer -- super slow and needed rebooting all the time. After an hour, resources would drop down to 70% and everything would drag. But this new computer (bought in May) is faster with more memory -- with XP -- and rarely needs rebooting. For once, I am thrilled with a MS product. XP lived up to my ideal, so far. I prolly won't try rebooting; right now my feeds are clear and this board's speed seems back to normal too. |
Jimmer | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:03 pm     Even the board is very slow tonight ... and still no Crow as at 11:02 Eastern. |
Wendo | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:03 pm     Ok, I'm getting a LITTLE tired of watching eight people hanging in a bedroom with nothing to do. This is getting a wee bit old. C'mon BB, hurry things up. Sheesh, we're now an hour late. What is TAKING so long???? |
Bb3analyst | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:03 pm     Go back to Twinkles post about killin' her game programs and then realplayer got better. Proof in the Puddin' |
Earthmother | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:03 pm     Maybe she is a no-show and Arnold will have to do his stand-up routine..lol |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:04 pm     Well, I have a cable modem, but the board seems back up to speed to me. An hour ago it seemed like it took a whole minute to refresh a page.... |
Bbtimes3 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:04 pm     I'm getting sleepy. Past my bedtime.... Maybe something wrong with the setup, I don't know. Anyday now....LOL |
Wendo | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:05 pm     FINALLY, they're hunting for CD cases. Oh man, if they don't find the cases (18) they don't get the concert. THAT SUX. |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:06 pm     They're making this a contest? If they lose, they can't go outside until tomorrow morning? They have to make cd cases spell out something, I think. I assume it'll spell out Sheryl Crow? Now FOTH |
Molz | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:06 pm     how bout we have our own concert? anyone want to start? |
Angelbleu | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:06 pm     are they serious????? If they don't complete the the task Sheryl packs up and goes home?????????? |
Bastable | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:06 pm     Wow! When they show FOTH, do you see all those people on the roof waiting for the concert to begin? And all the lights? Hey, why ARE they showing FOTH during the CD puzzle, anyway? We know they're about to see Sheryl Crow. |
Bb3analyst | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:07 pm     AMy just read rules of contest. Find 18 CDs scattered thoughtout the house. Put them together to form a message. Fail and can't go outside for the party. |
Strawberry | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:07 pm     maybe they meant the concert starts at 7 A.M. Maybe we all got it wrong? hehehe |
