Hey Dianna C!
Thanks, I had a great time and I actually really enjoyed sharing the experience. Glad to hear you’ll soon be enjoying the same things as I did. During your day in Washington it might be a good idea to group up with other people who want to see the Smithsonian in detail if that is what you would like. We only saw a small portion of it. I think you might be better to spend your time around the DC landmarks though, other than the Holocaust museum, the US museums aren’t much better than anywere else. (you’d be better taking a week’s holiday in london for that!) The Holocaust museum we did at a good pace though I could maybe have spent a bit longer there. It was particularly interesting as even some of the very well educated arabic kids were holocaust deniers/ mildly anti-semitic, there is a lot of cultural sharing goes on there!

NYC was at times quite hectic, I was in a group of about 8 people who tended to hang around together, though were from a couple of different busses. I’m not aware of there being any buddy system though.

I’m very jealous of you wish I could be going again this summer, have a great time!

Hey, great description of GYLC! This summer I’m going to be attending the conference in DC and NYC. I have a couple questions; during your visits to various museums, how long did the FA give you to visit? How long did you guys have for lunch, did you guys have lunch as a group of were you guys free to do your own thing for lunch time. How was NYC? I hear NYC can get pretty hectic, were you guys in a tight group all the time? Or did you guys have the buddy system during your explorations?

Thanks!

Dianna

I’ve been getting these too. I thought perhaps that they were masked advertisments tricking people into going on their site.

You don’t happen to be using Ad Blocker on Firefox by any chance? I’ve just noticed I don’t get shown this box when I’m on my other browser without ad block plus.

Yeah, I’ve seen it for the past 2 days and, like you, found the buttons seem to do nothing. Searching on Google for this brought me here but doesn’t offer any tech news items on what it’s all about.

I have, however, been thinking that it would be great if there was some kind of “Google Translate” functionality that would offer to automatically translate all my foreign friend’s posts (for eg, even if my news feed has posts in Swedish, Korean and Chinese, it would attempt to auto translate all of them to English). I hope they’re working towards such a thing…

Maybe some dev guy accidentally made some test script go live, haha.

laughed at the gui part. also because she said ‘gui interface’, clearly showing that the writers don’t even know what the fucking acronym stands for…
