Well your "I don't have a social life" number is currently 0.29 ppd. (Mine is 6.24 ppd.)
You are currently behind froglegg on
page 7 of The Piazza leaderboard. (Froglegg only has 0.04, so I think you can leap past him. #DYSWIDT)
Alzirus (0.11 ppd) might stay ahead of you for a while, but I think you
will eventually catch him. But Mike Myler also has 0.29 ppd, so I think you will struggle to
ever catch him.
Sarastro Magnifico has 0.21 ppd, so you will probably catch him
eventually, but not too quickly.
Everyone else ahead of you on your page is also listed as 0.04 ppd, so if you want to
prove you have no social life, and get onto page 6 of the leaderboard, you
might be able to do it, assuming there are some slow people on page 6 that you
and Mike Myler can steal the slots from.
I assume ppd is posts per day?
Yes it is. I abbreviated it. The forum writes it in full.

Giant in the Playground do some cool stuff. I don't blame you for hanging out over there. And there is nothing wrong with a bit of lurking. But it is nice when people delurk and you can have a chat with them.
Khedrac wrote:The other is that my work varies between "working flat out with no time to look at the PC with internet access" and "spend (nearly) all day on the internet because I have nothing to do" (our part of the project is effectively done so we spend most of our time waiting on others). Now this latter sounds good, but my work PC usually gets a network access error on these forums whenever I browse into a sub-forum, something it doesn't seem to do anywhere else. It's not a blocked website as that is a different message (found that out with Project Gutenberg), it just rarely works from my office. It could be something to do with the routing as the network portal is usually in Germany even though I work int he UK (which really messes up listening to the cricket on the BBC).
That's odd. I do occasionally get problems with a page on The Piazza loading, but if I immediately reload the page, it usually loads the second time.
There was a time, in the past, when I was using Internet Explorer and I kept loosing my posts. I use Firefox now, and have much less problems, although my work PC just went a bit weird with some other websites. (We swapped it out, as we got asked to test Windows 10, so that's fixed that problem.)
If you can try using a different browser, I would suggest giving that a go.

I'm glad you got that title. Those custom titles are fun. But, seriously, it's more about cool ideas here, than post count. So if you have any great ideas, please do share them.
