Yep. Right before breaking into the data center, disabling the halon, and flipping the switches on the back of all your server PSUs from 120 to 240V while they're running.

Check out this message in the Lounge. In my email, this shows up as:

For what it's worth http://ww[^]w.getpaint.net/index.html is the superlative (free) replacement for MSPaint. And you can write add-ons in .NET to do just about anything you wish.

Notice the URL ends early. This might be because the author edited his post to fix the problem, or it might be because there was a bug in the process you use to convert messages to emails. If the original message was messed up, one has to wonder how it got that way (bug in the logic when pasting URL's?). Note that Thunderbird seems to have some other funky characters, which I removed so you could see the above as I see it in my email. However, here is the source of the email, in its full glory (although I removed header information):

I'm also getting that, I'm finding myself having to work instead of sit in the lounge.

Same here. CP also seems to be going at a snail's pace. It works if I click one of the links to messages in the Lounge on the front page though.

Same here. It's because somebody has posted a new thread, causing all of the recent threads to be on the first page.

Google and Go

Now that Google has the new programming language out called go, I think it would be great if you could add a new forum for discussion about go and programming in go. More information about go can be found at: http://golang.org/[^]

It will need to gain a bit of critical mass before CP jumps on the bandwagon. Just because somebody creates a language doesn't mean that we have to immediately go off half cocked and create a forum for it.

Google ain't your run-of-the-mill language creator.

They aren't, but it could still be this weeks fad of the moment.

Absolutely. But my gut instinct says that when it's Google, it may be worth a look.

The thing is, of course, I am here to witness that Chris has made it possible for the OP to set up a private forum focusing on Go. In Maunder's mansion, there are many houses.

By the way, I'll bet $5.00 to your favorite charity that Chrome ends up replacing FF as the #2 browser. But not for at least 2 years.

I have my doubts; if Go catches on and they provide the best implementation before MS launches its own Go dialect, yes maybe.

Go.Net? Go# ? or Go2 (After all, They haven't had a GoTo language in six years.)

Nope. it is bound to be called G#, as they'll never admit Go is any good. See how they treated Java.
