Morning all. Someone upgraded Explorer to 7.0 when I wasn't looking. Hmmmm

5:17 am

CyborgScrabbler

all the puzzle done, was a toughie!

5:18 am

FMitch

matty, nice to see you!

5:18 am

mattygroves

Ditto :D

5:18 am

o-o

Congrats, CyborgScrabbler!

5:18 am

P.J.

yes Fm. just have to wrap gifts and bake cookies.

5:19 am

TrickyRic

don't use ie matty, its insecure, unreliable, slow, and doesn't follow web standards

5:19 am

P.J.

Hi hohoho matty.

5:19 am

TrickyRic

i'm an opera fan myself but most use firefox these days

5:19 am

FMitch

I've only ever use IE and have not had any problems

5:20 am

TrickyRic

honestly i'm a web developer, don't use ie lol

5:21 am

mattygroves

I use Firefox for most stuff, but Babble 'blinks' on Mozilla

5:21 am

CyborgScrabbler

Tricky ... IE7 now addresses all security problems, you cannot write outside of the temporary directory

5:21 am

TrickyRic

yea babble has some odd javascripting - i have to use konqueror for full support

5:22 am

P.J.

you guys have lost me !!lol

5:23 am

TrickyRic

i've not tried ie7 as i don't have any windows systems anymore to fiddle with, so can't comment there but i'd be very surprised if its reached the standard set by such as mozilla yet

5:23 am

P.J.

axed

5:23 am

P.J.

!@%#%#&*

5:25 am

P.J.

badsanta bad Snata!!!!

5:25 am

TrickyRic

lol

5:26 am

CyborgScrabbler

IE7 is great, it now has a taskbar for quick swapping between sites, a refresh all feature and thumbnail view of all open sites ... relative addressing of graphics stored on the C drive anywhere other than the Temporary files directory is blocked, just like firefox

5:26 am

o-o

nah, just an inadvertencty that reminds us periodically that we are human.

5:26 am

TrickyRic

apart from global refreshing, opera's had those features for years :-)

5:27 am

P.J.

Hi ho Babble,human is good...lol

5:27 am

CyborgScrabbler

exactly, IE7 is up there with the big boys again :-)

5:28 am

TrickyRic

one thing to remember though is that explorer is both a web and file browser, and many of windows' tools use it as a rendering engine. thus regardless of how locked down it may be, it still provides system level access to your file system. whats more windows gives the default user full administration by default which is a huge security risk in itself

5:29 am

mattygroves

Fonts are different - and it will just take me a bit to get used to the new interface.

5:30 am

mattygroves

Tough puzzle, or is it just me?

5:30 am

o-o

Are those the only choices?

5:31 am

P.J.

me too matty...lol

5:31 am

FMitch

It's not that easy matty but the small one usually do make us work.

5:32 am

TrickyRic

browser helper objects (ie's toolbar plugin layer) can also be exploited almost infinately due to poor design. many 'adult' dialers and zombie trojens install themselves transparently as browser helper objects for ie

5:32 am

TrickyRic

and no, its not an easy board

5:32 am

CyborgScrabbler

Tenge is missing from the puzzle solutions ... Tenge is the monetary unit of Kazakhstan

5:33 am

TrickyRic

all countries seem to be missing too - is that accidental?

5:34 am

P.J.

how is it you can know so many words and yet none of them work???

5:34 am

TrickyRic

as do nationalities

5:35 am

CyborgScrabbler

it has pound, dollar and yen, wonder why not tenge?

5:36 am

o-o

The enable dictionary is arbitrary; there is no other answer. Reference to that point has been made in a number of places at the Friend of Babble links below.

5:37 am

FMitch

remeber that enable is not the ultimate word database (otherwise the grids would prob be about 600+ every day)!

5:37 am

TrickyRic

fair point

5:37 am

TrickyRic

though i might at least find a good 100 at that, lol

5:38 am

CyborgScrabbler

Enable is a published wordlist and Tenge is part of it

5:38 am

mattygroves

Gosh, it looks like I need the list already. Sigh

5:38 am

TrickyRic

speaking of words - any clues for the second ge5,14 please?

5:39 am

P.J.

nobody wants to answer ....sucks to be me~~~~~~~

Minski

I have that one. Is there another one.

4:19 pm

greengeeny

not sure...

4:19 pm

Uneaixoise

there's one before it--just change the final consonant to a vowel

4:19 pm

Angb

Sorry about disappearing minski - kids playing online games on other caused hiccup with MY game - grrr - banned them from playing

4:20 pm

greengeeny

I just started about 20 minutes ago....still have 35 left, and am trying not to look at the list

4:20 pm

Takuma Sato

Thanks minski - didn't get it yet, but I'll go to work on your clue

4:20 pm

Angb

There are 2 in8's Yippee

4:20 pm

Uneaixoise

it's actually the french word for the following in8

4:20 pm

Minski

There are 2 th5/16s. One is the 2nd word in the list. That is the one I clued.

4:20 pm

greengeeny

is that a th5/16 or a th 5/12...I have the 12

4:21 pm

Angb

I'm off to do more gardening - have a good day / night everyone!

4:21 pm

arleneehm

there;s a "to th*** own self be true* and a someth*** to steal minksi's clue...and that 'a all I got

4:21 pm

Minski

There are 2 th 5/16s.

4:22 pm

Minski

and one th 5/12

4:22 pm

greengeeny

You get to garden angb??? oh I wish I could garden right now

4:23 pm

harpjane

OK, I'm confused on the th5's I have the Cat in the Hat's friends (th 1 and th 2), and to th*** own self be true. I don't see another 5/16

4:23 pm

Minski

sorry. not getting the clues for the other in8. English French dictionaries don't have a word.

4:24 pm

Minski

The TH5/16 you are missing is the 2nd TH4/5 with a consonent in the middle.

4:24 pm

harpjane

got the last th 5/16, at least I hope it's the last one.

4:24 pm

Angb

in 8's = in 7/40 + 2nd vowel AND in 7/40 plus a consonant

4:25 pm

Minski

Finally got it. Thanks Angb.

4:25 pm

Angb

yw minski

4:26 pm

Minski

I'm still missing 2 in words though.

4:26 pm

Minski

in6/27 & in6/21. Help please?

4:27 pm

Angb

Have you the first 5 letters of those long in words + middle letter of alphabet?

4:27 pm

Angb

That is the in 6/27

4:27 pm

chj

in6/27 first line from romeo & juliet "Two houses, alike in ****ity"

4:27 pm

Angb

And the in is the verb of the in 6/18

4:27 pm

smooth_pappa

hi people

4:28 pm

harpjane

Is the te 8 a compound word?

4:28 pm

Angb

Hi smooth

4:28 pm

Angb

No harp - but think babies

4:28 pm

smooth_pappa

angb, are you familiar with vicoria university in wellington?

4:29 pm

harpjane

thanks

4:29 pm

Angb

I have just finished my masters with victoria - but I live in Auckland s0 only visited the uni once in my studies

4:29 pm

Minski

Got them. Thanks. Those were tough.

4:29 pm

smooth_pappa

very nice... I've always wanted to go to victoria for my masters

4:30 pm

Angb

Why victoria particularly?

4:31 pm

smooth_pappa

well, I'd like to do international relations, and i think it would be great to leave the US for that. Victoria looks like a great university, and in a National capitol with a small population... I think it would make things a little more accesable

4:31 pm

Angb

I have to admit I did my masters there cause it was the shortest one in NZ

4:31 pm

smooth_pappa

lol

4:32 pm

Angb

Wellington is a real accessible city. Good social life - city easy to get in and out of - good public transport - but windy weather!

4:32 pm

smooth_pappa

plus it would be a great way to get me to NZ for a year. :)

4:32 pm

Angb

Believe though they have a good international relations department from memory

4:32 pm

smooth_pappa

after looking at that department in particular, it looked like it was a good program

4:33 pm

Angb

We Aucklanders avoid Wellington cause it is the capital - Auckland is the commercial centre of NZ

4:33 pm

Angb

When you are my age smooth - you don't really want a long masters ...

4:34 pm

smooth_pappa

I think I also like that wellington is just on the souther tip of the island... it seems it would be very easy to cross to the southern island from there, as well

4:34 pm

stidmama

*good happy Saturday all! I am slowly working toward a finish...

4:34 pm

stidmama

I think we should contribute to pappa

4:34 pm

stidmama

to pappa's boat ticket...

4:35 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah stid! I like thgat idea! :-D

4:35 pm

stidmama

sorry. Cut my finger and the bandaid makes my mother's keyboard even stranger than normal

4:35 pm

smooth_pappa

buy my pictures... that'll help me get to NZ... and probably lead to great pictures, as well. lol

4:35 pm

stidmama

It's been such a busy time for me -- first time I couldn't finish a wee one like this!

11:34 pm

Babs1

hi min...haven't been on the board in months...just seeing if I can finish this one..

11:34 pm

Minveryork

Since I finished at 11:29 game time I guess 129 words

11:35 pm

jillibus

I couldn't enter any words -- got that red message to try again 3 times -- couldn't put anything into the chat (well, couldn't see it arrive) -- probably my ISP messing up yet again

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Fireworks!!!!

(I finally got the clue :) )

11:36 pm

jillibus

YAY woulf!

11:36 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations GreyWoulf on fireworks! Good for U!

11:37 pm

jillibus

Woulf -- the loast message I saw from you was that Seb took his first steps. My grid also announced at that time that there was less than 1 minute left -- hours ago...

11:38 pm

itzie

Woo hoo! Done!

11:38 pm

jillibus

My hope is 47 words for tomorrow -- so busy at this season, and so behind in what I have to do!

11:39 pm

jillibus

YAY itzie!!!

11:39 pm

itzie

Thanks for the clues everyone!

11:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Jilli -- I have actually been pretty quiet -- I have been chatting with my mom this whole time

11:40 pm

jillibus

Woulf, what I meant was that I haven't been able to get through to Babble since then

11:40 pm

stidmama

11:43 pm

GreyWoulf

yep Stid -- he took his first steps today - real honest to goodness step - step - step - step - step towards his mom before he went boom! onto his butt -- He is a very proud boy as a result

11:43 pm

FranMag

11:43 pm

jillibus

oh sweet, woulf -- nothing like the thrill of those first real steps!

11:44 pm

stidmama

11:44 pm

jillibus

hi fran!

11:44 pm

flosey

hey greywoulf - it is indeed a proud moment - I remember them well

11:44 pm

FranMag

hey wolfie, isn't it cool? i remember my son's first steps. he walked out into the middle of the room at my sister-in-law's house with the whole family around and when he realized he had nothing to hold on to he just stood there and cried.

11:44 pm

FranMag

hi jilli!

11:44 pm

GreyWoulf

especially coupled with all the climbing he has been doing -- he decided to demonstrate that he can climb over the gates today as well

11:45 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Fran

11:45 pm

FranMag

i don't envy you wolfie! climbing gates already?

11:45 pm

flosey
