I've added a DISPLAYTITLE to get your user (and this talk) page title to display the way you want it. I assume you don't mind. -- Rick Block (talk) 21:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hell no Rick, don't mind at all - it seems there's always someone to fix anything around here. We're so glad to hear from you personally; you fixed so much more than our initial "H" and I think that you know what we mean ;-) Thanks my friend - we needed that right now!

We'll be about restoring our pages as soon as we are done toasting to your unexpected surprise and welcomed visit! heidi 'n joe 00:53, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you're still around as well. I've been kind of busy at work, so haven't had a lot of time to spend here. We should catch up sometime. -- Rick Block (talk) 01:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: clever Colossal Cave Adventure reference that almost slipped past me

I guess you're technically right that per the WP:3RR you can't revert again, but I certainly wouldn't call you on it if you did. Let's just see what people think, you'll probably get your way anyway --⁪ffroth 03:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cloaked? Just go to the page history and hit undo next to the last edit. Or do you mean trying to find a direct link to my header? Yeah, it has to be transcluded or you only see the noinclude text, and it needs arguments too or you just see the default- headercfg is just a transclusion of the header with no parameter --⁪ffroth 03:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, everything's becoming clear now :) Not to you apparently, since what you said doesn't make any sense. /RD_header is what's transcluded onto WP:RD and used to contain the entire iconic header, so all you'd have to do is revert that single page. All I changed was that page, and I changed it to a double-transclusion to the main header. As for the trickery in finding an independent copy of the header, that was due to technical limitations that my latest code changes have relieved- I'll make it so the header is directly visible at WP:RD/HEAD --⁪ffroth 04:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a minute. Are we in the maze of twisty little passages all different, or the maze of twisty little passages all alike? I think I'm completely lost without my issue of Spelunker Today. -- (plugh) 04:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

"All alike", although they're not exactly alike- that's one of the puzzles --⁪ffroth 15:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:With colorwheel icon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:With colorwheel icon.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

Re: expressions

lol, you mean like light current's slimey faces? OK I'll give it a shot

O_O freaked out

o_o glazed over stare

>_> <_< glancing around paranoid-ly

>_< d'oh!

>_> kind of annoyed like "why am I even talking to you, I'm going to look over there now" but not so personal cause it's just a emot

^_^ very happy

^_~ gay wink

-_- *sigh*

>.> this one's pretty complex, I might use it after being sarcastic or after imitating someone annoying to indicate that my voice is back.. it's mostly like a signifier like after someone rushes into a group and starts talking 1000 miles per second and then they realize everyone's staring at them like "what is your problem.." and then they clear their throat awkwardly and glance to the side. That's this, but since it's on the internet it can be used sarcastically

ô_o raised eyebrow

ō_ō even more of the glazed over stare

ó_ò resigned

ò_ó sarcastic anger.. like "REEEEEEEE" in I hate yuo myg0t 2

Oops forgot @_@ confused or just made an egregious spelling error correction --⁪ffroth 21:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep

Yeah that's me, I just forgot to sign in. What is and RD? Thanks, --DatDoo (talk) 03:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree, especially in light of User:Saudade7's comment about ..."Heilige Schauer" or "Holy Shiver". I wonder if we already have a page on it...Nope - so it is free for you to build/write! Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottfried Herder, Friedrich Schiller, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm von Humboldt, even Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel all wrote things..." unfortunately he thinks that much of the info on it might be in German. I have been surprised at how little info I can uncover about cold chills from music and what not though. --DatDoo (talk) 03:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it somewhat depends on the physical effect. Goosebumps is more like a raising of hair on the skin and cold chills is more an actual shiver perhaps. I teach guitar and today was teaching some students Layla and Sunshine of your love. Unfortunately this is not typically accompanied by cold chills. I think it is a strange phenomenon that music can do that. As Kurt Vonnegut said "music is, to me, proof of the existence of God". I also find it odd that there isn't more information explaining this from a physiological standpoint. --DatDoo (talk) 06:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cockapoo question

Hello Heidi and Joe. I'm not familiar AT ALL with wikipedia and actually just had a question for you both. A coworker saw a picture of your 12 wk old puppy on the cuckapoo page and was wondering if you were breeders and/or if she was for sale. Please let me know by answering on your page. I will check it frequently for the next month. Today is January 4, 2008. Thank you SO much for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.60.106 (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Cockapoo puppy picture in the Cockapoo article was taken about four weeks after we adopted Rocky. The article at that time had no image of a young Cockapoo and so we added our own. And no, we are not breeders but we sure feel like parents so of course he's not for sale!

As you can see, I've relocated your question to its proper place on this page and added a section header. Let us know if you would like any further information about editing on Wikipedia and we'll be glad to help. ;-) hydnjo talk 03:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sooo much for your very fast response!! Rocky is such a cutie! Since you are not breeders, do you mind telling us which breeders you got him from? We absolutely fell in love with him when we saw the picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.60.106 (talk) 23:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

modified pic

Jan. 14, 2008 From: maurajbo Hello Hydnjo. I modified your cockapoo image slightly to take away the glare it its eyes and to brighten the picture a bit. I hope that's OK. If not, feel free to revert to the old image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maurajbo (talk • contribs) 23:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frivolous thread

Excuse the break from serious discussion. :) Sometimes the serious discussion gets overwhelming. David D. (Talk) 08:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that for sure. A thread that long needs some digression or it will be ignored (slowing down to see a traffic accident after all). Keep up your good humor. I don't think that I need to ask you to interject as your sense of humor it is always there! Anyway, thanks for bringing it up here, I truly appreciate your considerate manner and do think that we're on the same page about lots of goings on around here without actuall discussion. On the other hand, It's sure nice to hear personally from you as it reinforces my belief that I'm not alone (I knew that but it's good to hear from another) or did I already say that.? hydnjo talk 08:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The ojndyh klat troll

Did you notice that the ojndyh klat troll is back? ;) David D. (Talk) 04:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah! I'm sure that it's some sock trying disguise the identity of the author of some really stupid/silly but succinct posting with which he/she doesn't wish to associated. The sock seems to have found a way to confound his/hers identity to all but the most astute and clever detectives there Mr. D ;-) --hydnjo talk 04:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, if he/she had a shread of cleverness she/he would have chosen klat ojndyh as its sock's name. The name chosen shows ineptitude and a lack of coherent thinking. --hydnjo talk 06:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that was part of the shrewd plan to throw everyone off the trail! David D. (Talk) 06:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah! --hydnjo talk 06:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Traffic

That's amusing, thank you for letting me know! Most of my posts so far have been to the ref desk so I haven't felt the need to provide much in terms of edit summaries unless I am doing something untoward. ;-) --Captain Ref Desk (talk) 16:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
