At ti-wereld we get like 5 posts a day  during exam periods, and strangely, 2/day during normal periods  :D. The explanation is obvious: we don't have any running projects. The only thing we still have is our offtopic board and the newbie help board, which, of course, gets a lot of activity during exam periods where everyone needs help.

(and apparently, Flemish and Dutch schoolkids are incapable of reading the big sticky topic called FAQ... Half of the questions is like: TiConnect doesn't work! help!)

At least some try to use TI-Connect. But I believe many errors could be avoided by TI. I know because it sometimes did not work for me because I deleted a temporary folder for example.

Yes, without new projects, there is few talk.

The main issue now is that new errors pop ups in TI Connect these days, with new computers and OSes, it seems. It will eventually make those FAQs very huge

Yes it is true. But you can put the questions on top that link to the answer. That way you don't need to scroll much.
A great majority of new computers and OSes problems should be with 64-bit and the solution is using latest TI-Connect or patch from education.ti

Yeah true
* DJ Omnimaga just hopes that when new OSes comes out, the amount of questions in those FAQs is not OVER 9000!!!!

Yeah true. I think this will take A LONG while before we get a day in the 350s again, though (or 400+, for that matter). I say the few days after Christmas 2010 and January, at the very best. Maybe a few in November, if we are lucky. I think by mid or late August, we may have beaten our yearly record of 30132, though. :P

I personally need to a rest a bit of forums during summer. ;)
I will be reading and only posting for helping or when the reply is short and I easily write it out.

I hope that I can post sometimes like I did today, too. Working on it. :D Thanks for the poke. Too bad today I am tired and my head hurts a bit.

Aw sorry to hear D:

I understand the feeling, though. I hate when that happens to me.

Sure hope activity picks up quickly. I'm getting bored. No calculator to program, no documentations to read, and now the summer lull...

Hope you feel better.

Hate that feeling too, and especially when it makes me not want to work on calculator stuff. Nothing feels worse than not being able to program :-\

It will be cool if some projects progress this summer. Maybe some ppl should reveal their Axe entry to create some activity.

One thing I hated in the past is that when I had motivation to program and ideas, I was at work. When I arrived at home, I didn't felt like coding anymore D:

I am better today, at 100%. Running 8km in a sunny and windy day is not compatible with coding in the afternoon. :P Hopefully I managed to do something before going to bed. :)

That happened to me too. (returning from school) And happens with lots of other things you wish to do but you are unable and later when you can you don't feel any more.
