"Total time logged in:" just ticked over to 100 days!
Just as I come up to my third BBM anniversary (December 16). Hmm, that's more than a month of days online per year.
Makes one think...
No regrets, Brokies.
How about you? How long have you been online here?

41 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes
My third anniversary is about a month off.

Paul, I'm glad to see you're even more addicted than I am! ;D

My third anniversary was on the 10th. Time flies! :P
Hmm, maybe you should start the 100 Days+ Club thread! ;D

My count was not as bad as I thought it would be. I've ONLY been online 107 days! Last nite my hubby asked me if I've made 5,000 posts yet. Little does he know that I'm coming up on 12,000!!
With an anniversary on December 16, you musta been one of the founding fathers, just like your ancestors! That will be cause for celebration for sure!!

Being 19th century German and Irish immigrants, my ancestors didn't found much!
But yes, definitely will celebrate my third anniversary on Tuesday.

The thing with me though, is that I often stay logged on to Bettermost while I'm working. I'll minimize it, but I won't log off. So, it's not really as bad as it looks.
At least I don't think it is. :-\

Sorry to break this to you David, but we've had this discussion on DCF.
If you log onto DCF (I think BetterMost is the same) and you minimize it, and don't use it, you'll be offline after 15 minutes.
You're name will appear on the user list at the bottom of the screen, and it wil slowly move down the list until it hits the end, and then disappears. At that point, you're logged off.
When you maximize your screen and click anything, you are back online.

Wail, you have been on twice as long as me Paul, I have only been logged on 50 days, 1 hour and 57 minutes. I rememory last summer you were up to 75 hours in June.

A lot of this time, as Chuck points out, is having BetterMost minimized and checking back every so often...but some large percentage of it is real hours...I would guess half.
I think I'll start channeling LaShawn and set personal goals of 5,000 posts by 12/1/2009 and 100 hours by my 3 year BetterMost anniversary on 3/6/2009.

I'm a mod on DCF. I moderate on 6 forums there, with over 65 threads that are active. I post in all them to keep up to date on what is going on there. Then there are other threads where I post and not a mod, and then there's the mod section.....
so that's how I've accumulated all those posts!

Sounds like there could be an Armistice coming up!
111 days + 11 hrs + 1 min = Armistice ???
almost droll HK - historically it was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918 that is. but points for trying! ;)

Those handsome young men are two of the grandsons of William II, who in this photo is about in his late 60s. The young men are the children of Crown Princess Cecelie, who had very good genes to pass on....
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/eurochief/1910portrait.jpg)
so that was taken in exile in Holland? yes, handsome family, much better looking that their British cousins, at least until Diana had her genes added to the gene pool.
-
Cecelie was never exiled in Holland. Only the Kaiser. She remained at Cecelienhof in Potsdam until she had to flee the Russians.
The photo of the Kaiser is at his estate at Doorn in Holland. The man on the right is Louis Ferdinand, who I had the pleasure of meeting.
So Louis Ferdinand was the grandson of Wilhelm II? and was he also the heir to the title of Crown Prince?

Hey! Duke Wally and the Baron of Beav! What have you done to my thread?

Sorry for the off-topic trot down history lane. It started with your 111 11 1 notation that bore such striking resemblance to the Armistice...I couldn't help myself. :)
But, it did generate a funny and cute little missive from king southendmd!
All done. :)
I want to know more!! come tell me that story on my Evening Chat!!

this has made me pay attention to the nums, and now my own log in is 11, 11, 11.
I still think it's an Armistice thing happening. :)
That's better. Happy Armistice Logged-in Day, HK!

I'm not in the 100+ days club (quite), but I did calculate that I've spent just short of 52 40-hour weeks here. Shouldn't I qualify for health insurance now?

LOL, it's interesting to realize that time logged does not necessarily equate to rate of posting since you have about 900 more posts than me. ;D
I'm guessing that one of the reasons I have a high time log is that I often sit here at work with BetterMost minimized. So, I'm not really active, but I am technically online.
-
I'm 49 days, 9 hours and 6 minutes.
Loong way to go!!!
I think we had this convo before about a screen being minimised and whether that counted as active & time logged in. Did we not work out that the time clockd out if youhave been inactive for more than a couple of minutes... ie stayed on the same page?

I'm getting closer.

Chat time doesn't count, I don't think.
To recap the answer to that age-old question: the BetterMost system logs you out if you have been inactive for 15 minutes. You can watch it happen on the "Who's Online" page. When someone reaches the 15 minute mark of being on the same page, they disappear. So if you were dancing in the middle of your room, and every 14 minutes and 55 seconds you went over and clicked on a BetterMost page, but then went back to dancing, and kept doing that every 14 minutes and 55 seconds, it would look like you were on here all day long, even if you didn't read or write a thing. But I don't think most of us do that. I think that mostly, we can't use the "I keep it minimized on my desktop" claim.
-
That's why I'm surprised I'm behind some folks. I'm at my computer all day, I don't have a boss watching over me, and I feel like I'm on here constantly, to the point that when people see a post of mine they go, "Not HER again! ::)"

I think this is pretty much my story. If I'm sitting at my desk I flip BetterMost on and off (or minimized/not-minimized) very frequently, but certainly at irregular intervals. And, sometimes I just take a quick glance or refresh a page or jump to a new forum, etc. and then minimize again. No dancing in the middle of the room for me though.
It's things like this that make me realize just how addicted I really am to BetterMost. It gets me through the day.

the dreams a flavor of comic obscenity. The spoon handle was the kind that could be
used as a tire iron. And he would wake sometimes in grief, sometimes with the old
sense of joy and release; the pillow sometimes wet, sometimes the sheets.

Thanks Jeff. I'd completely forgotten about that phrase in the passage you quoted.

You're welcome. I'm glad I still had that electronic copy on my office PC. 8)
But it is nice to know where AP got the phrase. I didn't know that. I always had this image in my head of Jack picking himself up off the ground in the ring after he didn't make his eight seconds. ...

Thanks for the reminder Jeff. This really is making me realize that I need to re-read the story again. I'm thinking, though, that in them early days when I read the story frequently, I may not have even registered that "getting up off his pockets" was a reference to bull riding. I think it can be a more general phrase too, about getting up and getting moving.
Mostly when I've heard announcers use the phrase it essentially means "get up off your Wrangler pockets"... usually in reference to posture on the bull when you leave the chute. It's best to be sitting up straight or leaning slightly forward. If you're slouching or leaning back at the very beginning, it can be very easy for the bull to whip you forward and off pretty quickly as he bolts out of the chute. Sometimes during a ride you pretty much need to lean back to make a countermove, so it can mean something different during the course of a ride vs. at the beginning. Bending at the waist and leaning slightly forward in many cases is basic, good form and would demonstrate control (maybe this is the "control zone" idea from BBM)... This would be the case especially if the bull is mostly spinning rather than kicking. In the picture on my avatar Brian needs to be leaning back... since the bull is in such a steep pitch kicking. In this case if he bent at the waist and leaned forward, he'd be "dashboarded". The fact that he's able to keep his back up as much as it is (not essentially laying down on the bull's back) at this angle takes a lot of core strength. So they say.

Anyway, getting back on topic... my time logged at the moment is:

I'm still shocked by this! :o

180 days, 11 hours and 47 minutes
And that is after 11 days of not being on the internet. :P

David! 180 days sure is impressive! :)
-
That must explain "and into the control zone," too.
And this all makes sense, because the pockets on jeans aren't exactly what you're on if you're just sitting down in the normal way. It's more a slouched back position.
-
That's why I'm surprised I'm behind some folks. I'm at my computer all day, I don't have a boss watching over me, and I feel like I'm on here constantly, to the point that when people see a post of mine they go, "Not HER again! ::)"
Katherine, maybe you could make that your new signature line. ;D ;)

Congrats, Jeff! I never look at my stats either. But right now I'm at 130 days. Not bad! ;D
-
Yeah, this thread is kind of horrifying. LOL!
My stats are currently: 137 days, 16 hours and 51 minutes
I must say in my own defense, that I often keep BetterMost open (but minimized - with quick glances now and then) throughout the day at work.

I'm not a bean-counter naturally. I don't particularly care about personal stats.
While I love our board and the people on it, I look at a stat like that and think...
Nearly two months. If you look at it in months, I have been sitting on my fat ass in this chair reading and talking with people for nearly two months 24/7.
Could I have spent that time more productively? Saving the whales perhaps? Writing the great American novel? Digging a garden? Helping refugees? Writing my representative about women's rights? Probably. :P

That's because your posts are so much more beautifully designed than most. When you post an article here, you really post it! Boldfaced names and titles, colors, hyperlinks that actually work, all the pictures ...
I just lazily include the URL and think, oh well, if they want that stuff they can go to the site ... ::)
But we deeply appreciate the extra effort! :)
