Just wondering! I am 87 years old today.

I am trying to find a post on the blue about men who have a penis disorder, something to do (AFAIR) about the urethra not reaching the end. It was in the last few months but a search for penis doesn't find it, although interestingly it did show that "peniscravat," "penisdecorations," and "penisfencing" have been used as tags. Urethra doesn't find it either, nor does genitals. Thanks.

Is someone compiling/has someone already compiled statistics such as: the average number of favorites per post, the average number of comments per post, comment quantity by time posted, average number of favorited posts by user, etc? I assume this has been discussed here in meta previously, but I couldn't find it in searching. Feel free to direct me to old threads on this topic though.

I've been patiently waiting for someone to suggest an LA meetup since I moved here a couple months ago, but I guess if something's worth doing it's worth doing yourself. Thus:

Folks, how about an LA meetup?

Trying to get to the blue ... my default view is 20 most recently commented threads... get Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid column name 'link_day'.

Whenever I try to make a post to a thread in the Blue, I get " Error Executing Database Query.
Invalid data contribute,post_comment_preview.cfm for CFSQLTYPE CF_SQL_INTEGER." and c.
Other people make posts, so I suppose there's some prob with my account, perhaps?

http://metafilter.com times out for me, while http://www.metafilter.com works with no problem. Is it me or MetaFilter?

Since I missed the last one, any interest in a short-notice MeFi Boston?

In a recent AskMeFi thread a link to a Google query was provided in lieu of an answer [more inside].

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.. it's late at night and I've poked around a little bit looking for a place to email questions like this and didn't find one, but I didn't want to FPP to MeFi without asking this first...

The company I work for (but not me personally) has developed a web scripting language that in some ways is comparable to ColdFusion, which MeFi is run on...

Is it kosher for me to post a link to it on MeFi? The product is free and the only end goal I want to see is that interested parties go try it out and give feedback on it... The "business model" so to speak is to eventually sell customer support to corporate types, but there are online forums and the like for free support to regular joes just tinkering with the language and helping each other out...

Anyhow... if it's not cool to post it, no big deal... if it is, cool... If anyone wants to check it out, let me know... I'll respond with a link...

I respect the new zipcode geotracker as much as the next guy, but I think it would be that much cooler if there were a page where we could enter a zipcode and see the users around it. I'm road-tripping next week, and it would be awesome to see which of my favorite MeFites lie en route.

Re: this comment, is there a limit to how much the MeFi search will look for?

Just for future reference I was wondering why this post hasn't promoted comment? Is it just that it's a quiet day or something else?

"Can't you folks simply address an issue and tell us what you think without attacking the poster rather than what has been posted?" A few threads have featured variations on this sentiment, so I figured the subject was worth a longer look here.
