Title: RUAUR: Onyx is now at version 1.7.4
Post by: Xairbusdriver on August 28, 2006, 12:08:58 PM
<Onyx has been updated>. But there have been a couple of reports of problems with the two previous versions that are not mentioned in the "what's new" text. Caution is always advised with "system" utilities.

Any suggestions about a possible "title suffix"? We've tried a single thread for updates and it didn't go over well ( possibly because of early search bugs ). Others say these threads get lost by not staying on the 'front page' very long. I'm thinking a common 'tag' might help in a search for this type of posts. dntknw.gif

It would need to be more than 2 letters, as the search engine doesn't see less than 3., so no UP, no UA, UPDATE will work..... Thinking.gif

Well, CHANGE THE SOFTWARE!doh.gif

Next problem...flower-smilie.gif

OK, how about "RUAUBM" = Recently Updated Application Used By Many? We can always add "Here" (RUAUBMH) if the former is too ambiguous...

He, he.  I thought you were trying to come up with some sort of palindrome.

HA! I've got pals in planes! I don't need no pals in dromes! rant.gif

OTOH, "RUAUR:" might be useful. I was have way serious about the prefix, but it doesn't appear to be a problem for more than 3 of us! dntknw.gif And I can't remember who the other two are! eek2.gif

It just occurred to me that if you say RUAUR out loud, it sounds like one of our OS kitties.

And, what does it sound like if you don't say it "out loud"? dntknw.gif
( from one who always reads/thinks "out loud" in his mind. blush-anim-cl.gif )

OK, wise guy, if you 'speak it', rather than spell it.

Why is it whenever someone uses "wise" when talking about me, they always include "guy" along with it? dntknw.gif Hey! I don't have to surf the web to get abuse like this! flower-smilie.gif

Trying to bring this thread somewhere near the useful category...

Never mind, I think I'll start a new thread...wallbash.gif
