Mobius Loopy at that.

Thank god MY sister has her own computer.

A manual implementation of a ‘busy-wait loop’…

Wow I’ve done that… gotta go to facebook now and see if anybody wrote anything now in fact. Except I don’t have twitter (and won’t) and have no clue what Tumblr is…

Thank God I told my wife of serious electrical shocks from the key board unless you wear pink rubber hip waders

Yeah - what the heck is Tumblr?

No idea either. Likely if we have to ask, we’re not “pop culture enough” to use it .

pretty sure Tumblr is a blogging site.

Another social site thingy?! I have no idea what this one is. I think if you have to ask what Tumblr is you have to ask yourself, ‘Do I really need it?’ or ‘Do I have time for it?’. And better yet, ‘Do I want to know?’ My answer is NO, NO and NO.

Hey, Paige! either get a smartphone or your own computer.

She’s executing a simple polling algorithm. The problem is that you’re supposed to do it on a separate thread

If you want people to notice your social networking, you have to post something yourself.

Yes, Tumblr is a blogging site. Similar to Twitter in that you follow people, but it’s not as restrictive to the number of “characters” you can post (like Twitter). My 15yo daughter uses it all the time. It’s a little too extreme for me.

Should have everyone graduated by now and moved out?

Yes, if this was real life or everybody aged in real time. But sadly, this is a comic strip. Every birthday is Paige’s 14th birthday. Every year of high school is the same one.

I don’t twitter (though I’m a bird person)- don’t evenn like the limits that FB puts on status messages. If I need more space there I just add in a comment. Just checking email, FB and the various comics forums takes too much time to deal with some days. People are staarting to complain that I don’t answer emails as promptly as before, so I’m opting out of may group emails and stores (even where I shop often).

The internet is a dangerous thing, Paige.

And GoComics… lol.

Paige is finally using an ACTUAL computer! no more Apple shaped one!
