# I know - I've been used to UK b3ta hours for the last year or so
and now I've moved to US (and have a job so I can't really post during the working day) I miss it greatly.

# I can understand what you're going through.
I work for myself, so I get on at all hours of the day. Day shift is a LOT different than night shift.

Don't undersell the night shift, though. There are a few (mostly lurking) that are quite talented. Our volume is less (and spam a bit more), but there is still talent to be found in a pinch (I try to help, as I can).

# Oh, it's not a talent thing - I've seen some great stuff here at night.
And actually, I've a fairly flexible job so I can at least hit the 5pm UK rush over lunch. I just miss the general activity and sort of humour. US humour is different - not worse, just different.

# A good point, well made.
British humor is different, which is part of my attraction to this site (other than the graphic talent). I enjoy 'the other side of the coin', so to speak.

I think many British take a little more pride in grammar, and the jokes, et al, have a little more flavor. They're often more a turn of phrase than a 'jump in your face' type of joke.

It's all quite good. I take it in scoops and enjoy the ride.

# I certainly take pride in my grammar.
And if you listen carefully, I say 'cock orff'.

# Exactly
Why this is the time I prefer to post, since everything I post is all crap anyway :P

# Everything you post is effort.
which isn't crap.

B3ta is a community. There are elite people (pippy is one of my favorites, Eclectech another), we all contribute. It's part of the beauty. By posting, we learn to be better. Our peers teach us, and we grow.

It's just a good thing.

# LOL
Thanks for the ego boost :P

I'm sure I could improve my technique, but it doesn't help when I can't convey what I'm thinking anyway, technique or no... usually end up ditching things I'm working on cause nobody else gets it :P

I have a hole in my hummus tank methinks

# I have the same leak.
I posted this yesterday (well, two days ago, now).


I wanted it to be so much more, but I just don't have the skill.
