The Unhandled Exception

9:41 PM

Hey there everyone

Wow, it's quiet in here right now!

Lance Roberts

Wow, I was showing blanks for names until I reloaded. They must have done some update.

Piers Myers

I had that a few times recently too

Hi Josh, how's it going?

rchern

@TheUnhandledException, well without you here how can we party?

radp

@TheUnhandledException Booyah

Aiden Bell

@TheUnhandledException howdy

The Unhandled Exception

9:48 PM

@rchern haha, thanks -- I'm baaack now (-:

Hey there @radp and @Aiden

rchern

i see what you did there (;

Piers Myers

@rchern - I was thinking the other day, your emoticons are the correct way round if you compare them to text on DVDs, CDs or book spines - you need to turn your head to the right to read them (:

The Unhandled Exception

Just for you @rchern (-:

Tim Stone

@TheUnhandledException You have a typo in your message, you meant to say "backward"

is helpful

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone LOL

rchern

9:50 PM

heh.

The Unhandled Exception

I translate my messages for the intended recipient ;-)

Tim Stone

Ah, well, that's very nice of you :P

rchern

lol

The Unhandled Exception

/me looks around to see if balpha's here before hacking chat...

whew, all clear!

rchern

hehe, i like how with some messages i can tell whether or not you're running the chat userscript i started (;

(not saying you should, just saying i can tell)

The Unhandled Exception

9:53 PM

LOL, I need to install that on this laptop :-)

Tim Stone

(I'm saying you should, even though I didn't actually say anything)

radp

@rchern spy!!

rchern

has no way of starting a message with /me

** /me tries this

lame

radp

smirks

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern do you mean because your userscript parses messages starting with /?

rchern

9:55 PM

/command isn't always handled

but if it starts with /me then there's code to take out the /me and wrap it in *

The Unhandled Exception

Ahhh

Piers Myers

why not just use '*'s in the first place? (:

The Unhandled Exception

I realized that's an issue with XMPP integration today -- Pidgin parses all messages starting with /

I planned to use XMPP messages like /login, /edit, /reply, etc as commands

Tim Stone

@rchern With Messenger Plus! (it uses similar /command s) the workaround was to use a double forward slash as an escape, so //me would just show /me, do we need something like that?

rchern

@LanceRoberts do you have my script installed?

The Unhandled Exception

9:56 PM

@TimStone Ah, that's an idea which could help me.

Currently with Pidgin you have to do: /say /something else

rchern

yeah you can do that in my irc client as well

The Unhandled Exception

which is silly

rchern

that works in my irc client as well, as does ctrl+enter if i recall

Lance Roberts

@rchern Which script?

(which means probably not)

The Unhandled Exception

@LanceRoberts LOL, that's a good sign probably not :-)

Wow, in my abscence last week, @rchern achieved #1 chat user position!

Nice work

Tim Stone

10:07 PM

Hmm, I'm neck and neck with @YiJiang now at the very top of the second page, heh. :P

rchern

@LanceRoberts, a chat script that adds /commands to chat instead of using the mouse

Q: The nobodies of chat

It seems that it's possible for gravatars and screen names to not be displayed properly in chat. Check out the following screenie: As you can see, the user chatting is Marco. Marco came in first, followed by the user next to him (whose name I can't remember). Marco's screen name and gravata...

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone The race is on! I got where I am by posting lots. of. small. messages :-)

Lance Roberts

@rchern, Nope, I have no chat-specific GM scripts installed. Just SO/SE ones.

The Unhandled Exception

Also, talking to my own sockpuppet helped push me to #3 chat user... LOL

rchern

@LanceRoberts, i knew it wasn't my script (;

Aiden Bell

10:11 PM

I have seen this (for a while) when the request is slow, they usually pop up in the end. Usually my torrents hehe

copy and pastes comment

rchern

did my last message appear weird to anybody else

Tim Stone

Weird?

Aiden Bell

nope

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern You mean weirder than any other of your messages?

rchern

hey ):

The Unhandled Exception

10:12 PM

;-)

rchern

Aiden Bell

Image quote

Tim Stone

@TheUnhandledException I was going to go for the backward smiley joke, but I thought it was too much :P

Aiden Bell

whoop

Lance Roberts

now that's wierd

The Unhandled Exception

10:12 PM

@rchern That's how I saw it too

rchern

bad line for it to happen on (;

but i still don't think it is my script

Aiden Bell

to be fair, lowercase 'i' is weird

Tim Stone

He's talking to himself!

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Who, me?

Not in here. Only in the XMPP room :-)

Tim Stone

@rchern It's not...I haven't had a good chance to try and track it down myself though, hopefully balpha will have better luck. :)

Heheh :P But no, @LanceRoberts per @rchern's screenshot

The Unhandled Exception

10:14 PM

Sorry. I'm not with it today :-)

rchern

i don't think the nobodies are because of my script

The Unhandled Exception

I didn't even look at the gravitars, LOL

rchern

i also don't think the weird attribution with my message is because of my script

so hrmph!

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern I take back what I said. I did not see what you saw

rchern

no js errors

Tim Stone

10:18 PM

Hm

rchern

after refreshing it looks fine, especially considering @TheUnhandledException's message is between mine and Lance's lol

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern Where did you see my message before the reload?

rchern

i presume after mine but i don't recall

hmmm

your message shouldn't be there @TheUnhandledException

check out the ids on the right

that's after several refreshes

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern oh weird

That's how I see it too

without refreshing at all

rchern

and if you look at the html, it isn't that my script is putting the ids on the wrong messages

The Unhandled Exception

10:27 PM

(Sorry, I'm distracted because I'm bugfixing XMPP integration)

@rchern You should let @balpha know you found a bug :-)

Better yet, fix it and then he'll be your best friend, haha

rchern

hehe

it's in the weird order in the transcript also

and my script only runs on /rooms/*

Tim Stone

Heh

They were posted at exactly the same time.

rchern

where are you seeing exact timestamps?

Tim Stone

Check the data of the message nodes.

rchern

what the heck? is that new? i looked for timestamps prior

Tim Stone

10:39 PM

I think it's been there for a while, but I could be mistaken.

rchern

what do you think about getting rid of the periodic timestamp and adding it on each line with the id?

Tim Stone

I'm always going to check when a message was posted, so we should do something with it, yes. :P

The Unhandled Exception

11:00 PM

The company in this place is great, but I have to say, they only serve bar food here.

So, I'm headed out to find some dinner

I'll catch you guys later!

Tim Stone

Enjoy :P

Hmm..

rchern

11:14 PM

hmm indeed

hehe, timestamp parts aren't being padded to 2 digits

Lance Roberts

ugghhh, sites going down.

rchern

hmm

daily git commit complete

Lance Roberts

11:29 PM

Wow, every single site down.

rchern

nah, back (:

Tim Stone

That was nice of them to only go down while I was away eating.

rchern

hehe

Lance Roberts

11:46 PM

I sure hate the fact that they take you to a different page, so now I have to open every window individually.

Tim Stone

Hm, I can't decide what I want to work on...too many fun things. So, Sim City it is. :P

Fosco

@TimStone Have you seen Minecraft?

Tim Stone

Yeah, but not in the "I've tried it out" sense yet.

Fosco

I don't recommend too many things (at least I don't think so...)

Minecraft would be the best $10 you'll ever spend.

It's incredible just as it is, and it's only getting started.

Tim Stone

I'll take that as an incentive to give it a shot, then :)

Fosco

11:54 PM

I got it recently, and spent like 30+ hours either playing it or watching youtube videos of other people playing it, or looking at the subreddit page for it.

watched most of this guys youtube channel: youtube.com/user/FatalSaint83?feature=mhum#p/u/37/-MWNZTQbqbs

funny accent..

rchern

hehe, timestamps are useful @TimStone! (:

allo @Fosco

Fosco

@rchern hey, how are you doing?

rchern

good (:

you?

Tim Stone

@Fosco Hahah, in that case I better wait until post-conference/deadline to get it then ;)
