Ranger's training thread

[eliotsmith]

I think it is time to place bets on how many consecutive posts our hero will make upon return.

I say 6.

If we all ignore him (I know it's hard when he posts stuff that is so very wrong) he could post hundreds talking to the desert with the tumbleweed blowing by.

Another one of my favorites. There are so many, it is hard to choose.

January 19, 2009: That predicts a 1:33/6:12 2K, pretty much right at the physiological limit for my age and weight. Almost half a minute better than has ever been done before. --snip-- I now row _exactly_ like the great Danish lightweights: Eskild, Henrik, Mads, etc.

I'll guess 12. And some of them will contain things like 3 WR's in 2003, so much better now, will do a FM as soon as the new stroke is habituated, all in good time, right on schedule, delighted with the progress, don't race your training, need to get around to 20K OTE, 20K OTW every day, yakity, yakity.

Another hard day on the F5 key. Plus two deranged fools who were stoking his fire and pulling his plonker.

How does that work?

Shift+F5 is the same as clicking the browser reload button. Each reload adds one to the view counter.

I tried both on my own blog as tests, but the count stayed the same. I must be missing something here.

Dougie, How long do you think it would actually take to keep pressing that key to get his desired 2461 times? Im sure there are some learned maths types that could tell us.

Holding down F5 works on most pages to send the reload command continuously. It will usually overload the server but I would imagine you could send a few thousand in a few minutes. Or use Autokey with a a loop command to send the F5 command X times

Sure, someone must be doing something to pump up the views, but it's not me.

Oh christ. The creature from the Blog Lagoon returns.....

Of course it's you, you moron. You have nothing better to do.

Your DF arpeggio didn't produce the response you were craving so you thought you'd inflate the numbers to make yourself -- or was it your other self? -- feel better

No, it's not me.

I won't be posting here for a while, either.

I'll just run my blog on the British forum.

You folks here are stunned assholes of the first order, you being the one of the most stunningly stunned.

Good luck with it.

To quote the great Homer Simpson...WOOHOO!!! Right lads how long before he is back posting on here? Im going for next tuesday before he breaks his other index finger pressing the F5 key and realises that this is where he belongs....in the warm embrace of Naysayers Inc.

O.K. I tried another test. A different one this time. I went back to the first page of blogs (from 2005) and picked one with just a few views. I tried out the refresh button and, sure enough it added a view. I added a few more and it continued to add views, but I had to pause a bit between refresh button clicks to allow the refresh to complete.

It definitely did not add any views when I did it to one of my own blogs, so I am convinced that there is another UK forum member who is playing games with the ranger blogs. If that is the case, it is as foolish as the content of the blogs.
