^^ That being said, he may be hosting the party, but we're the ones who keep the place tidy.

Report trolls, don't engage.
Be civil. Make this place what you want to see.

COSO was down when my column about it pubbed. So, in case you missed it: houstonchronicle.com/business/

And yeah, there's a paywall. Sorry, not sorry.

Folks, - After the herculean effort to get COSO up, in a severe twist of ironic fate nobody can go PRO right now - it's a certificate thing.

I'll fix it tomorrow.

Welcome new users!

If you're new here from Twitter, what do you think of CS so far? I've been looking at a few alternatives and so far, it holds the most promise. (Well, when it's not crashing under the load, anyway.)

UPDATE - We're still experiencing some sporadic technical issues. I'm really sorry about the spotty service, I am still working on a resolution.

Will update. 👍

Someone shared this with me this morning, should be helpful: User guide to CS. counter.social/userguide.pdf

Good morning, campers. Checking this out, may end up writing about it, who knows? If you've been here a while, tell me why you like it. Are there enough users to make it feel like critical mass to you?
