I need to kick the habbit. I would have finished this damn marking last night if I had not spent time lurking here. Still 3 scripts to go and it is nearly midnight. :x

Since setting up the site I have been intravaenously connected. Watching it grow is so addictive! I'm also spending most of my spare time fiddling with web site (forum looks prettier, the chat room beta, the motto on the front page, the stats...). Gaaaaaaagh, going mad! :evil: I could have 2 million metres by now if all that time had gone in to rowing...

I will try and go cold turkey tomorrow on the web site and forum and stick to rowing if I can. Can I go a whole 24 hours without posting? Wish me luck.

Have you been looking at the stats page too?

Quite impressive watching how the site is growing. :)

Thomas,You'll feel better now that you've admitted you have a problem.
I think Gregor may have similar problems involving a secret cache of the Highland Grouse. I deduced this from his photo which was obviously taken outside an Off Licence :lol:

Thomas - You've done it now - letting me loose on the Admin of this site. It's grown a bit more!!!

Trying to make it the "one stop shop" so people will come here first and it has everything they need.

Haven't figured out how to share files yet, e.g. my log spreadsheet some people might like.

The huge jump yesterday was me sticking the tracker on all the forum pages.

OMG. I have achieved the "rank" of Free Spirit.

Some of you will have noticed the tag lines under your names on the left hand side. They were set by me in an idle moment as follows:
  • New to the forum >0 posts
  • Spends too much time in the forum >50 posts
  • Stop posting and start rowing! >100 posts
  • Rower and forum addict... >200 posts
  • Free Spirit >300 posts
Now, I am CLEARLY not the only Free Spirit, but I ran out of ideas. Any suggestions for 300, 400, 500 posts?

Now, I really must go to bed... 301 now. Can I set up an ELM challenge for forum posts?
