Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Twizzle]

Geez I'm glad Twiz was here to clear that up, I was about to run out to Allianz (closest stadium to me ATM) and have a munch, I'm a little peckish and a hot dog sounds good right now.

Thanks Twiz!

I have a question for I Bleed Blue and Gold.
What is happening to your job mate at the stadium after the last games are played there soon? Demolition is scheduled for January I believe.
Cheers.

Bro you can ping him by typing his name --> @I bleed blue & gold .

 

[Twizzle]

real nerds refer to it as tagging him

So how does that work?
Truly, I don't know.

You just start typing his name after the @ symbol. Like @Suitman and it pops up.

 

[Twizzle]

@Suitman I just tagged you so you will receive an alert, so if you tag IBB&G he will see your message when he logs in

 

[Suitman]

Thanks guys.

Actually ping is waaaay more nerdy than tag.

Ping goes back to c:\ command prompt stuff. Way back to Windows 95 or earlier. Super Geeks will be able to confirm.

 

[Twizzle]

yes Gronk I know what ping is but this is refereed to as tagging

Do you want to have a nerd off ?

Ping might be nerdier but it doesn't really relate to tagging someone in a publicly available message board such as this (or facebook or twitter , etc.)

Ping in the context of your post is a network command used to check the availability of another computer/server, not a person.

Tagging on the other hand is used to link someone (or something) to a post or tweet or whatever. Sure, tagging someone in a post sends them an alert that they have been tagged but it isn't the same as pinging them.

Nerdy enough?


FTR:
The ping utility was written in December 1983 as a tool to troubleshoot problems in an IP network. The author named it after the sound that sonar makes, since its methodology is analogous to sonar's echo location.

With the majority of home games at ANZ in the next couple of years. Its a shame that the ground the GWS giants play at is no longer shaped for rugby-league. That stadium fits 24,000 would have been perfect for a couple years. Obviously we could have still played the dogs tigers and souths at ANZ but certainly low drawing sydney and out of town teams it would have been great size and would have created a better atmosphere than 15,000 at anz
