tomos is closing in on 10 (and some digits)

-our brain is good at understanding what was meant, even when we are talking gibberish...
you know, we read "1,000,000,000 posts", even though it said "1,000,000 posts" ;-)
so "10" ("and some digits") should do, if we want to read what was meant

Go for it, Tom!

we want 10, we want 10, we want 10!

haha, very good

Took me way longer than it should have to understand that...I'm going senile I think!

I know this isn't a post count, but I saw this today and thought it should go here:

Now we know why that software was discontinued...

In the collections of 'nice numbers' and palindromes, today member number 505505 has joined the forum:

Only 11 (another palindrome

) years after starting the forum...

(I missed the opportunity (== screenshots) at 500000 and 500005, so this is a bit belated, but who cares

)

I do, you should be much more attentive to important issues!

PS - CleverCat DCer's kitten Tinkerbell was killed by the neighbor's dogs, so out of sympathy and 'sensitivity', in the process of posting advice on how to yard-train a kitten using a wire cage as a 'kitten playpen', I switched out my Jetson's dog avatar in favor of the Jetson's boy Elroy. Once again, my deepest sympathies to CleverCat.

Screenshot(s) for posterity:

IainB + please forgive me! + but that background colour can not go unchallenged! Is it even a colour, or is it maybe grayly gravy ?!!

Sorry. It's grey, because that's how I have my background colour set for the DC website - too bright and glary for my eyes otherwise. Ergonomically, black print on a grey background is easy on the eyes (less contrast and still quite legible).
Anyway, stop complaining. I was in a hurry to get the screenshot whilst the count was still at 100 - @holt might've made a new post at any time, and then I'd have missed the opportunity. I thought his post was amusing.
The count is still at 100, so I've taken a normal-coloured screenshot and posted it above as well. Ach! Glary. Must restore my nice grey background now...

Hmm. Interesting. Is it just me, or do the colours look brighter/richer on the grey background screenshot clip, and a bit washed-out on the normal blue background?
I've changed my screen background back to grey, and it still seems to me as though the grey screenshot has richer colours.
I produced the clips in exactly the same way - OneNote screen clipper to capture the image into CHS, then ScreenshotCaptor to apply a frame and shadow.

they do look brighter - but they aren't :-)
The same colours can look incredibly different depending on adjoining/surrounding colours.

Why on earth do we not have a single screenshot of Tom / tomos crossing any of the big borders?
Not 9999 or 10,000 or 10001. What went wrong?! Please, someone!

Heh heh. That "sort of" snow is the only sort of snow I like. I think it happens in Miami once or twice a generation.
