The neighbours' chooks have adopted this place as their second home (so I'm a chook mummy). Today they all sat with the dogs under the deck.

...The dogs looked a bit perplexed, like they were thinking, "WHAT are these birds, and WHAT are they doing here??" The chooks didn't care.

@dwd No! Really?? 280 for the longer win!
-
@dwd I didn't do it deliberately, in fact. And I still quite like the gap in the middle of two notices - it lends a bit of something extra.
-
@120new Adds a bit of drama. :-)
-
@120new ... But seriously, I'm increasingly leaning toward no limit - if people are silly enough to write an essay, I'll block 'em.
-
@dwd What if someone writes one essay for every 20 <140s? ^_^ Things might get really complicated around here. Block? Unsub? Scan? Filter?
-
@120new If anyone is writing an essay using a status update tool, I'd say that they are probably using the wrong tool.
-
@120new Same problem as if someone writes an essay...
-
@120new ... spread across many posts ...
-
@120new ... that then need to be read together ...
-
@120new ... to make any sense.

@dwd Oh, bravo!! :D Wish I could fave those as a thread.
-
@csarven Yes, and I plan to test that idiotic writing-an-essay idea here as soon as possible ;) (No, not really.)
-
@dwd Would you just include the parent notice in the favourites tab? Or would it have to go into a new favourite-conversations list?
-
@120new iono. Just showing the favourites in the conversation context by default would do me.
-
@dwd "iono"? Could you tell me what that means, please? I googled, but to no avail.
-
@120new "I don't know" - mumble it, and you'll see.
-
@120new ... with more characters I could spell such things out, you see. :-)
-
@dwd You're on fire today! :D
-
@dwd Haha! Oh!! Very nice.
-
@120new @dwd I also suggested that conversations should be made subscribeable. http://identi.ca/conversation/19654469 .

@greggish Subscribeable conversations could be like groups? That'd be good. If they got really long, I'd prefer they broke into pages, btw.
-
@dwd that's a cool idea. I think under the covers we'd need to do more to reify threads, but... could be cool. Thinking Gmail x Techmeme UI.
-
@evan lol, people on buzz want to be able to fav individual post, and people on identica want to fav conversations
-
@dwd that's the worst and most despicable kind of idea-stealing‼
-
@evan Exactly. Preplagarising should be banned.

@forest Beats me. I'm not a coder. Would like to be though. From everything I've read about PHP it's not too hard to learn.
-
@dwd I know what you're going to think WEEKS before you think it. Man, in April... You should start blushing now.

@stoney Lucy the dog, looking worried about 3 of the neighbours' 12 chooks, in the shade under the deck yesterday: http://ur1.ca/m7or
-
@120new it took me until just this moment to realize you've been talking about chickens when you use the word "chook."
-
@120new it means absolutely nothing here. I figured you were talking about some weird hybrid muskrat or hog or something.
-
@frankenspock Uh-oh. Does "chook" mean something else in the US?
-
@frankenspock Well, I did translate it the first time I mentioned chooks, but you probably insist on subbing millions of people & missed it.
-
@frankenspock the Passion of Benny Hill is testament to that.
-
@120new Ooooh! Thank you! Lucy does look quite worried -- the chooks are quite close, as if she is one of them, nearly. It's so odd.
-
@120new And I would have thought fowl would stay clear of canines. Lucy does not appear to enjoy being the life guard on duty.
-
@stoney I agree, it seems strange the hens are so unconcerned about big animals with teeth, and right from the start, too; no hesitation.
