<p>Hey Astrix, your photo is taking a lifetime to load up here! Is Shikhar your real first name?</p>
<p>Okay Astrix - you become a bonafide Mr-Oh-So-Secretive...only topped by EncomiumII. I can hardly see you there - your half-photo shall not count!</p>
<p>Gianievve - I pronounce your name Genevieve.</p>
<p>Where is your picture?</p>
<p>I don't have one Ill Captain (hope you don't mind the nickname - I'm sure it won't bruise your 6-pack ego, 'Mr. Hot' ;)) But I'm def. working on setting it up. Hey, maybe you can help me out here - how do you get a photo posted on a blank webpage? (I'm a bonafide techno-phobe btw; ask Keb)</p>
<p>I think I've somewhat adopted the Encomium paranoia...removed several links, etc. :)
So you can see my prstats/pic if you ask, but they're not up permanently anymore. I'll put them back up after I get notification. I was just thinking of the pros and cons of having everything posted.....</p>
<p>haha, gianievve....don't worry, I only knew the correct terms after I went shopping around online for a laptop early this fall (and I still haven't gotten one....).</p>
<p>"I was just thinking of the pros and cons of having everything posted....."
which are?</p>
<p>I agree on the paranoia though. Imagine if....</p>
<p>what should i do to not set myself up for a huge disappointment? i need to get this off my mind and just relllaaxxxxxxxx.</p>
<p>any advice on how i can do that? :p</p>
<p>

<p>Any controversial political statements, jokes, etc. would not be good for the adcom to see if they actually did check CC (which I doubt, but still). Also (and most importantly), they may think a candidate who spends a lot of time on CC is wasting too much time/ spends too much time on the internet/etc. They'd be right :/</p>
<p>Jeez Keb - completely turned my stomach with that last one. Noooooo you've killed our fun. I shouldn't have asked. But don't you also think they'll see people with real character, live personalities with arb. quirkinesses? wouldn't it be sadder if they were checking up on us here?</p>
<p>Okay well, I have to go now anyway, but before I do: how do you get the shaded box for quotes?</p>
<p>test test
[quote]
this is a [ _quote ] with an underscore
[/quote]
bla</p>
<p>here's how you do it: you write [ quote ] then write the actual quote and then [ /quote ]
Pretty simple... (and remove the spaces before and after the word "quote" so that it works)</p>
<p>oh and another test:
