Fits perfectly with his character, too. Also, I love the parallel with 340 (*is* that the one? I thought there was an episode that was more 'conversational'...) where Nerd Boy says he doesn't like winter. (Being able to search for dates on your site would be nice... or even on keywords.)

You seem to mean NB292: http://www.nerd-boy.net/292 I also need to search my site sometimes, and since Google apparently has my whole website indexed, I just go there: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.nerd-boy.net > Did you notice someone has been 'hacking' your rating system? :-( Yes. I imagined it would happen sooner or later. It actually happened much later than I thought it would, which is rather sad, seeing how people have actually been using that feature. > I hope you have them in a database and can delete all votes in a > certain period... No. It's all screwed now. > do you check for multiple votes from one IP address? No, I'm working on a new system that does that. I'll add a date to each vote too, since you mentioned it. Seems like a good feature in case someone cheats blatantly, like this time. However, all the current votes will be erased in the process. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

> I like swimming
OK. I hate swimming. I sink like a stone or some kind of
very heavy rock-like substance. And don't get me started
on how gross it is to swim in lakes. Did you know they
keep all kinds of animals and insects loose in nature?!

Thanks. Wow, I just didn't find that one funny at all. I thought it was a good summer episode about nothing in particular, and a nice reprise of the flying Nerd Boy routine. I'm glad you liked it. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

All worship the wonder that is google. You never did a strip about google, did you?

First off, sorry for following up to myself. I failed miserably to keep a straight face when I read that on Tue, 24 Jun 2003 00:49:28 +0000 (UTC), L�on Planken wrote: > I failed miserably to keep a straight face when I read that > on Tue, 24 Jun 2003 02:26:30 +0200, Joaquim G�ndara wrote: >> >> You seem to mean NB292: http://www.nerd-boy.net/292 > > That's the one indeed. Lovely :-) One I still like the best (and was reminded of because of the seasons thing) is episode 71. (Found with google :-) ) I also 'found' that you didn't do one about spring yet... (couldn't remember one either). I wonder how symmetric Nerd Boy is in this respect. We'll probably have to wait another 3/4 year for that, which is good, because they seem to be spaced rather apart so far. > Of course. All worship the wonder that is google.

Probably, but I would have to remember to back-up the database, which I wouldn't. I'll opt for the lazy, space-consuming version. It's not that much data anyway.

Lovely :-) > > One I still like the best (and was reminded of because of the seasons thing) > is episode 71. (Found with google :-) ) Thanks, that's indeed a nice one. A bit of trivia: The tree is based on a sketch my younger brother did on a whiteboard while he was doing his practical working experience program at my workplace. Btw, remember the winter version? http://www.nerd-boy.net/121 I have to say my all-time favourite is this one though. I found it again when you mentioned NB340. http://www.nerd-boy.net/337 > I also 'found' that you didn't do one about spring yet... (couldn't remember > one either). I wonder how symmetric Nerd Boy is in this respect. Not very, if you take NB121 in account. I make seasonal episodes now and then, no special system to it. > > Of course.

You didn't. :-) I have been toying with the fact that Google has one of the biggest computer clusters in the world. Not only that, they're optimized for database operations. What happens if you add some Bayesian reasoning or just plain logic inference to that? -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg
