| | WannaBe: Details on SNAP and lockup period:
http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/31/tec... What just expired was early investor lockup period, employee's lockup will be in 2 weeks after earning report. (According to the article) |
|

| | WannaBe: SNAP short-sellers are cashing in their chips as high interest (borrowing) rate cuts into short-selling profit. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/snap... |
|
Aug-02-17
| | WannaBe: SNAP IPO was $24, on March 2, 2017. Today, it closed at $12.65 |

| | WannaBe: Holy cow that was a long update process for the latest Win10 (PRO) August patch releases. From start to finish, took my PC 2+ hours to complete, with 5 different reboots and my taskbar became transparent... Ugh. |
|
Aug-09-17
| | WannaBe: The updates also screwed up my taskbar text colour, went from white to black and I couldn't see the clock/time. Had to reset my settings on that, too. Ugh. |
|
| Aug-11-17 | | chessmoron: The first 2 episodes of Stephen King's <Mr. Mercedes> is here and free to watch: http://start.att.net/exclusive/audi... |

| | WannaBe: Cloudy here at NorCal, hope it clear up by 9:30AM for the eclipse... Otherwise, it would be a real bummer. |
|
Aug-21-17
| | WannaBe: During the eclipse, iPhone's camera definitely out-performed Android's camera. |
|
Aug-21-17
 | | tpstar: <WannaBe> That was glorious to follow in real time. In Michigan, we only had a partial eclipse, but a drug rep brought by a welding helmet with a visor for us to see it safely, which was amazing. He also gave us some Moon Pies. ;>D |

| | tpstar: <Sneaky> is credited as the first poster here, as part of beta testing = Steinitz vs Bird, 1866 Check out Page One of the Kibitzer's Café = The Kibitzer's Café When I joined in 2004, <drukenknight> and <ughaibu> had the most posts by far, then <acirce> joined and quickly took over the top spot. |
|
| Aug-22-17 | | thegoodanarchist: <tpstar> that's interesting - <Sneaky> is a member since Jan. 19, 2002, but kibitzed the first kibitz on that game the previous month, on Festivus of 2001, a month before. |
|
| Aug-22-17 | | technical draw: Oh, great! A wasting time competition. I'm in since Nov. 18, 2003. <Sneaky> has me beat though, sneaky fella. |
|
| Aug-22-17 | | technical draw: Ha! A New York Yankee sets another record! Read it and weep!: <Hasta la vista, Bill Stoneman. Aaron Judge now holds the all-time single season record. 36 consecutive games with a strikeout.> |
|
| Aug-22-17 | | thegoodanarchist: I guess Stoneman's cavalry came, and tore up the tracks again. |
|
| Aug-22-17 | | technical draw: The LA Dodgers are on a pace to have the 6th highest all time regular season winning percentage. In modern times the last highest was the Seattle Mariners in 2001 with .716. |

| | WannaBe: Had an interesting problem at work and it was resolved with the help of a co-worker... The president of the company wants to setup a (sub) web page that is a bit different from all the other (world-wide) corporate web pages. No problem, got a server installed Linux with Apache2, PHP and MySQL, piece of cake. Put the server on the DMZ with a static IP, and got the public IP to the DNS so people (world-wide) can type in the name to access it. (e.g. Chessgames Home Page, instead of http://199.237.62.178) The actual content of the web-pages are coming from a sister company in EU (Italy), so I also enabled SSH/FTP ports on the server. Tested it internally, everything works, time to add this to the Firewall so it can be seen/accessed externally. <No Go. Nada. Zilch.> Blank, web-site can't be accessed. No response from server. Double-Triple checked my Firewall settings, looked at the Network Address Translation (NAT) settings. Looked at the ports (http/https), everything is good. Internally, everything is good. Externally, no Bueno. Co-Worker pointed out to me that the Firewall setting for WAN -> DMZ for that server was not enabled. This is different from NAT, this is access rule. Okay, just enable it, right? Error. Can't mix management (SSH) & non-management ports (http/https). Grrrrrrr... Took out everything except allowing http(s). Page is up and running. Lesson learned. |
