who's online... logic
Does anyone find it sort of useless to have yourself show up on the who's online screen?

I don't get lost too often.... err.. not online anyway. I'll be the first guy to admit that I need my hand held driving long distances. Sly

I don't drive much... just to work and back 3 times a week (yes, I "am" full time -- just long shifts). at most I put 50 miles a week on my car. Very rarely do I ever drive out of town on my own for reason stated.Unsure

I live less than 1k away from work, and I *still* drive to work. Disgusting really. I should make more of an effort to walk.... but I don't want to leave my beast at home all day. She'll get lonely ;-)

Some disturbing statistics...

Work is 3 miles away... that's um... 3 x 2 x 3 = 18 miles. The only significant mileage I get is when driving to Virginia Tech campus to see some friends (10 x 2). I have a 10 year old car with 62k miles on it. My dad has the EXACT same car (including year), but with 162k miles. At this rate (3 trips to work, 1 to campus each week), I'll catch up in 50.61 years, assuming he never drives his car again!

It you really want to disable it, the easiest thing to do would be to add the following line in the template:

Code:
<%if current_user_id and user_id = $current_user_id%><%nextloop%><%endif%>


This would go immediately after

Code:


<% loop online_users%>
in the "whos_online.html" template.

a blue '92 Chevrolet Lumina (Euro), with one small scratch and a ding. Previous owner took very good care of it. Pretty decent car, except Luminas are notorious for needing alternators replaced more often than any other car, as I unfortunately found out 2 weeks ago.

hehe ... must be in way better shape than my junker ....

have you thought of putting in a performance alternator ... also takes car of heavy usage for your stereo, woofers, and amps!

I'm not a mechanic, but from what I understand it's a flaw in the engine design that's causing the problem. Coughing up extra money for a high-end part is probably not something I would try unless I was certain it wouldn't have to be replaced.

oops ... misalignment or something like that I bet ... nope ... better off getting rebuilt alternators from you're local Chief Autoparts or whatever shop you have in town. ... bummer ...
