TCH-Sales Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 James, I got to say your board picture there rocks.. hail to the king! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 James, I got to say your board picture there rocks.. hail to the king! Great films! Give me some sugar baby! Thumbs Up Quote
TCH-Dick Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 heh, i watched army of darkness again the other day, I love those movies Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Klattu Verada Nikto, Army of Darkness, Star Wars, Day the Earth Stood Still. Hmmmmmm, Where is my "Boom Stick"? As to the countdown clock, I dont know but you might want to check the SETI site to see if there is any connection. I bought another kilt today, is that strange? Quote
Bunni Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 So what happens on Monday at 8pm? Didn't see anything on Seti except that I have completed more work units than 97.646% of their users. The clock sure does slow down page load time though. Quote
MikeJ Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Hmm.... actually I think I might know what it is.... Quote
Head Guru Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Me birthday is in March, but thats not it! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 I heard Bill is putting in a pepper bar. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Hm...I will curse my isp if they make me not being here tomorrow at that time. <_> Quote
Head Guru Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 I heard Bill is putting in a pepper bar. BLAHAHA A TCH Pepper Bar... Thats Classic Dick. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 It wasnt SETI? Dang! Bill, you sent me the wrong memo again. Quote
!!blue Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 A pepper bar!! BLAAHAlhaHAAHHAHHAHhahahhahAA!! My b-day's in March too! All hail Pisces!!! I bet it's counting down to some special feature TCH is going to offer everyone on their sites, I hope! a pepper bar... that's going to haunt me Quote
TCH-Rick Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 It's obviously a countdown until Bill's appearance on "Fear Factor" (or is it his appearance on "American Idol".) Quote
ejh Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 It's obviously a countdown until Bill's appearance on "Fear Factor" (or is it his appearance on "American Idol".) OMG!! That has got to be it... That's FOX and NBC for you all- TUNE IN! Quote
Head Guru Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 LOL... The day I appear on Idol is the day tch is sold to the lowest bidder. Aint gonna happen. Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 The day I appear on Idol is the day tch is sold to the lowest bidder. I bid 1 cent in case hell freezes over. Quote
ejh Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 The day I appear on Idol is the day tch is sold to the lowest bidder. Well that narrows it down! Looks like we can watch Head Guru on Fear Factor! Quote
jacobw Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I have a couple of guesses as to what the clock is referring to, but at the risk of being completely wrong, I'm keeping those guesses to myself and will reward myself with a short break from studying for midterms tomorrow night if I end up being right. Quote
DarqFlare Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah make your wrong guesses! I bid $0.009 for TCH -> The tax added to a gallon of gasoline! Quote
youneverknow Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 My guess...a new TCH web site... redone with all the navigational problems resolved...just a thought... Quote
james8547 Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 TCH's IPO? If so, then I want some of them stocks. I want to get in on the 1st floor. I'm still hitting my head for not buying eBay stock a couple of years back. Btw, the army of darkness is a cool movie. I saw 2 different endings to it Quote
TCH-Andy Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Well it's close to the time I get on a plane and return home from a trip away - but I doubt that's the reason - unless you are having a big party for my return If so, you are all invited - but I guess it's more likely to be that Bill is having an upgrade to his main CPU or additional memory installed Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Ok...Im out of popcorn...what are we actually counting up and down for? Quote
Guest LightKeeper Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I was also wondering what that clock is! I am ready!!! Quote
Bunni Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Nobody's talkin', Thomas. I guess we just have to wait and see. If curiosity doesn't kill me first..... Quote
stevevan Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I tho't curiousity killed the cat...not the bunny! I have to admit...my curiousity is driving me nuts, too! Looks like I'll have to set an alarm clock to check back and find out! Quote
kaseytraeger Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 It'll be about 11pm here on the west coast when the curtain is lifted, so if I can just keep my eyes open ... Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 It'll be about 11pm here on the west coast when the curtain is lifted, so if I can just keep my eyes open ... Hmmm...what's showing up for me is 6:36 to go. Which means about 9pm my time (CST), 7pm West Coast (I'm assuming your talking about the U.S.?) Quote
Bunni Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Hm, at 3:30pm ET it says 4.5 hours left so I am assuming it's 8pm Eastern time? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Hm, at 3:30pm ET it says 4.5 hours left so I am assuming it's 8pm Eastern time? Now Im lost, counter here says T+ 07.53... Quote
kaseytraeger Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Hmmm...what's showing up for me is 6:36 to go. Which means about 9pm my time (CST), 7pm West Coast (I'm assuming your talking about the U.S.?) Yes, in the U.S. It's now 1pm, and my countdown clock shows 10 hours to go, so that would make it 11pm, right? I'm not the best when it comes to time switching and translation... Quote
TCH-Dick Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 just a little FYI, the countdown clock is based off of your PC's clock, so times are going to be a little diffeent depending on wether you use daylight savings time, your clock is set wrong etc. Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Hmm... my clock's set right. My system periodically polls a reliable time source. As of this post, I'm showing 5 hours, 33 minutes. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I agree on the lasts posts, but isnt a countdown clock supposed to count down? Mine is counting up. Quote
HCSuperStores Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 The code for the countdown clock must look at your computer's local time. Mine says there's 6:17 left. Someone earlier posted that they had 5:33 left. I'm on EST I wonder who has the correct countdown time? Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Yea, I said the 5:33 (now 5:11), and my computer is set to CST. Maybe the actual time something happens is a mystery too... Quote
Head Guru Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Stay Tuned for Big Announcement @ 10PM EST tonight. We are uploading a new image to replace the countdown timer now. :) *TCH-Dick lips are sealed till 10pm EST Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah, right... Bill not posting untill 10PM? riiiight I am loving all of these guesses. This is great. I'll throw mine in... I say it is when the world as we know it will change for the better and the greater good will prevail. There will be more war, no more famine, no more disease and shiny little balls of light will dance around everyone's head. No... I don't do drugs, why would you ask? Quote
jacobw Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 My guesses. Some are serious, some don't seem too far-fetched, others seem unreasonable, and others seem outlandish. Average Joe: Hawaii begins and Larissa's big surprise is that she's in love with TCH. A TCH member steals $2.3 million from an armored truck on CSI: Miami. A TCH member has his apartment raided by a SWAT team on COPS. A new billing system of sorts. A new TCH website. A new contest. Fantastico on servers. Change in TOS/AUP. Change in Reseller program somehow (price or features) Something to do with the dedicated servers. A TCH datacenter. An aquisition/merger. A TCH marriage/engagement. That's all I can think of at the moment... Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Change in Reseller program somehow (price or features) That one's a given. They announced a while ago that the reseller prices go up starting today. Quote
jacobw Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Mike, that's why I included it. In addition, I'd like to add: A TCH store/merchandise. Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 But that new account price went into effect already. OK OK... it is that my wife gets her birthday present from me at 8PM my time (today is her birthday). Or maybe it is when I will actually get home form my day job? Oh oh oh, I got it! genetically altered pigs will begin flight! Quote
TCH-Don Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) A TCH store/merchandise Hey, maybe a TCH tee shirt or a hat, I would like that Edited March 1, 2004 by TCH-Don Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) I KNEW you couldn't do it!!! Besides, I saw posts from you elsewhere that already proved it BWAHAHAHAA Edited March 1, 2004 by TCH-Glenn Quote
Head Guru Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 whatever you say bounces of me and sticks to you! neener neener neener Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 can only respond with chuckles to that one... especially after looking into your mechanized 5.1 gigaPixel photoreceptor eyesockets Quote
Ninepatch Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Gee Glenn, I think they make an ointment for that nowadays. Happy Birf'day to the Wife!! Pisces Rule! Thumbs Up Quote
MikeJ Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 TCH needs a chatroom, so we can all sit online and chat in anticipation before 10pm. Quote
Deverill Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 A TCH member steals $2.3 million from an armored truck on CSI: Miami. Uh, I hope not! I think I'm the closest to Miami and those CSI guys always catch the crooks! Head Guru, got any bail money? Quote
HCSuperStores Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Ok ... I'll guess. I think it's a new site design for the TCH site. Notice that the "new" rates for the resellers hasn't been put in yet. If I were planning a site redesign, and something like that was changing on my site, I wouldn't bother posting new rates on that OLD site. I'd just put them up with the new site. Isn't that right ... BILL!!! Quote
Ninepatch Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Well, whatever it is, I'm ready. Got 3 large pizzas, double cheese, double mushrooms. Garlic-butter dipping sauce on the side. Anyone bring anything to drink? Beth Rock Sign Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) I just finished my aged angus-certified Ribeye steaks that I just grilled out on the back patio. Not EVEn close to my diet, but them thangs is tasty!!! we get them directly from the processing facility (got them yesterday), so they are fresher and more tender than ANY grocery store steak we have eve gotten. And now I am having a nice Bacardi 8 and Code Red while watching a special on VH1 about South Park So... any last-minute predictions??? <evil grin> I think we will get to see something never before done by a webhost!!

MikeJ Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I just finished my aged angus-certified Ribeye steaks that I just grilled out on the back patio. Not EVEn close to my diet, but them thangs is tasty!!! What?!? You didn't make enough to share?!?! Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 There is 1/2 of one left over (about .75 lbs) come on over Here's a pic to whet your whistle Quote
kaseytraeger Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Dang, Glenn, that looks so much tastier than even Outback Steakhouse or Black Angus!!! Definitely much better than my dinner tonight. Hubby has to work late, so his company is providing pizza for his development team. I, on the other hand, have to cook for one tonight, so it's chicken pot pie baaaaby! Quote
Ninepatch Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 OK - put the pizzas on hold - move the party to Glenn's house - we'll help him celebrat the Mrs' Birthday!! Quote
MikeJ Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Naughty Naughty Naughty Naughty Naughty Naughty Quote
kaseytraeger Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Mine too. This had as much anticipation as Dick Clark's countdown on New Year's Eve! I'm waiting for the dang shimmery ball to drop and confetti to start falling! Quote
HCSuperStores Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I'm at 10pm on the dot. What's up with Bill? Slacker???? Quote
Deverill Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Are you sure nothing's happened? Muh huh ha ha haaaa! Quote
Virtual Imager Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Got 3 large pizzas, double cheese, double mushrooms. Garlic-butter dipping sauce on the side. You dip pizza in garlic butter? You are very strange, Beth! Quote
Ninepatch Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 VI - Must be a regional thing - it's really popular here in northern Ohio, comes with all the delivery pizzas. Kinda good actually if you don't over do it - I just like it with the crust. Dang, I have to pee - hurry up Bill!!!!!! Quote
ThumpAZ Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Randy... you know, the dipping stuff that Pap John's tries to pass off on ya. Quote
kaseytraeger Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Server loads are probably peggin' out right about now! Quote
borfast Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Guys, check out the Major Announcement thread Quote
Ninepatch Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Bruce - Is there somewhere special we're supposed to be looking? Quote
jacobw Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I would like to point out my guesses weren't half bad. I even guessed the acquisition. :-) Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Bruce - Is there somewhere special we're supposed to be looking? Beth, if you haven't seen it yet, it is the first post in the pinned topic Major Announcement. Quote
