Oh, you're here!

@mccarthynator eh?

mccarthynator

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Exactly what a communist sympathizer would say.

Hrmph. Canadians.

Hrmph.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@mccarthynator Canadian? I am a New Yorker

mccarthynator

A New Yorker who says eh? More like a Canadian spy.

Tim Stone

I say "eh", but I was a covert agent in your country for six years.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

6:03 PM

Nope. Born in Brooklyn. Raised in Long Island

Am I missing something?

Q: Canada is not in England

If I visit http://careers.stackoverflow.com/employer/cv/18130 I see that this candidate wants to hear about positions in "Canada, England United Kingdom". Note there actually is a tiny village called Canada in the county of Hampshire - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellow,_Hampshire. However...

rrrg what a waste of 300 rep....

mccarthynator

I was going to post a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head for you but I didn't get around to it in time.

Tim Stone

I was going to post an answer that was entirely in a spoiler, but then you wouldn't have been able to see it.

mccarthynator

>! This needs to work in chat, so we can exclude people.

Tim Stone

There's actually a feature request for that.

Q: Why doesn't chat allow spoilers?

Stack Overflow allows spoilers in the form: >! SPOILER Example: Why doesn't chat support them? They would be quite useful, especially for rooms that are frequently off topic and often have dicussions about movies etc. Many other sites, like Arqade, would make even better use of spoilers.

feature-request chat spoilers

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@TimStone lol im not always on the iPad

like now

Tim Stone

6:13 PM

I know, but it was funnier that way.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

pffft

mccarthynator

It's 12:15.

That means I should mention about how I don't have lunch plans.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

2:15 here

animuson

I just got up. Lunch isn't until 5pm...

Tim Stone

There appears to be some leftover pizza here.

    that didn't work

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

> BANANAS !== pizza

mccarthynator

> It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

animuson

I'd be more afraid of being eaten by a Rebecca.

@RebeccaChernoff ? @animuson

Tim Stone

I uh...what?

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@RebeccaChernoff LURKER :-P that was waaay too fast lol

mccarthynator

That settles it.

@RebeccaChernoff is not deaf.

Rebecca Chernoff

Well, I'm working...so I have chat open...and you @lerted me, so my computer made nose and showed a desktop notification, so...

Once again, I find myself regretting speaking in The Tavern.

jadarnel27

@mccarthynator Knowing is half the battle.

Jim

Anyone else having problems opening this question? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/145534/…

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@RebeccaChernoff ahhh noses

Jim

I just get a blank page

mccarthynator

Nope.

Popular Demand

6:24 PM

No repro here.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Jim i'm good

Jim

Can't right-click to view source, but developer tools shows that it actually loads

mccarthynator

@Jim I suspect the question has flagged you as a security risk.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@mccarthynator hehe

Jim

Perhaps there is some content in there that IE8 can't handle?

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

6:25 PM

idk abt that

animuson

The only odd content I'm aware of on that page is just a bunch of RTL characters...

Tim Stone

@Jim That...is interesting.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@animuson MOO HAHAHA :-P

animuson

Unless someone hid some characters in their text...

mccarthynator

@animuson @Jim did say IE8. It renders nothing for no apparent reason.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

6:26 PM

I am able to repro in IE9 @Jim

Bart

Trying that page in IE9 makes it go to "compatibility view" whatever that is. Wow, long time since I've even opened that browser.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

Only works in compat view

Jim

interesting

Bart

It's just a sign to stop using IE

Jim

I'm pretty sure I've disabled compat view

animuson

6:27 PM

I only use IE to test Stack Overflow as a guest so I don't have to logout on my real browser.

Jim

A sign, yes. An option - sadly no

ThiefMaster

You could use one_of(firefox,chrome,opera) for that

mccarthynator

Perhaps you should add a note to the question that mentions that those characters break IE... Oh wait...

animuson

Firefox is already logged in as well.

and Opera is, well, Opera

Jim

Compatibility mode seems to do the trick

animuson

6:29 PM

Weird, IE reverses the "x mins ago" text as well as the username.

Jim

Now I can go back to being productive!

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@animuson lol that is all browsers :-P

Jim

Except it's Friday afternoon....

animuson

It doesn't do that in Chrome...

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@animuson of course it does :-)

mccarthynator

6:31 PM

Weird, Chrome forwards the username.

animuson

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@animuson my name is backwards there :-P

mccarthynator

Oh you mean IE reverses oga sruoh 5

jadarnel27

@mccarthynator Forwards it to where?

animuson

^ IE

Bart

6:33 PM

That proves IE is backwards

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@mccarthynator hmmm yea. now I see. interesting.

lol but my name is backwards all over ^_^ @Bart

mccarthynator

I blame Canada.

Who's on first?

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

Who?

mccarthynator

Who.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@mccarthynator Thats what I asked.

mccarthynator

6:35 PM

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Who is on first!

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@mccarthynator I don't know who.

mccarthynator

What's the guy's name on second.

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

3rd BASE!

mccarthynator

I don't know...

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

hehe screwed up there i did :-P

Can someone move the nose image to bin?

Jim

6:42 PM

will move it to your Meta question to account for Yannis's laziness

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Jim move what?

Jim

The transcript

and/or the nose

and done

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Jim I rolled back. That was unnecessary.

sorry. but it was.

Shog9

Jim

can't really disagree with you

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

6:47 PM

@Shog9 a little big to pick, no?

Shog9

Hence the cropping

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Shog9 ahhh nice. I did not notice that :-P

Well anyway. Have a good weekend people. and for people in the US have a great Labor Day weekend!

mccarthynator

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Jerk.

Popular Demand

Apparently I've visited Meta Stack Overflow on 1000 different days.

mccarthynator

I know what you meant by that is "@mootinator, have a terrible Labor Day weekend!"

Tim Stone

6:54 PM

@PopularDemand 1000 steps closer to losing your mind, nicely done. You're also ahead of me by 274

Popular Demand

@PopularDemand That must set a record for non-employees. Some terrible, terrible record. I think... I'm going to leave now.

Tim Stone

Let me preemptively say that it's not my fault.

...That is all.

Rebecca Chernoff

...except that it really is. I know better. Don't let him fool you.

mccarthynator

@RebeccaChernoff Actually the wheel of blame just implicated you. Sorry.

Rebecca Chernoff

data.se has some new hotness. and it's all @Tim's changes. so yeah, pretty sure it is his fault.

Tim Stone

7:00 PM

@mccarthynator has a long history of blaming people, you should believe him.

Shog9

@PopularDemand My condolences

mccarthynator

@TimStone Yes. In fact, I don't trust anyone with red hair.

Shog9

(I wonder if I can get @Pop to quickly cycle through the room just by pinging him again)

ThiefMaster

ugh, this tab still shows a huge nose on top

this

must

be

changed

jcolebrand

Why would you do that?

Don't you like noses?

chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/247

If this room were open I could dispose of the noses

Shog9

7:13 PM

Wow... > 12hours without getting logged out. Nice work, @tim-rchern!

Tim Stone

What'd we do? :P

Shog9

fixed shit

Tim Stone

@mccarthynator will surely be furious that the main page of Meta has run red with status-completed

Rebecca Chernoff

heh

the main page IS MINE mwuahahaha

animuson

Ooooo pretty

Tim Stone

7:16 PM

Bwuahaha

animuson

Tim going for some rep? You're not even on the 1st page anymore!

Tim Stone

The fix for your feature is coming later tonight by the way, @jadarnel27 (so don't look for it just yet)

@animuson What?!

Son of a...

Wait, that might be a positive thing.

(sanity and what not)

Rebecca Chernoff

@TimStone this would make sense to have closed as a dupe of the one you linked in your answer?

jadarnel27

Sanity is highly overrated.

mccarthynator

@TimStone Noooo.

Tim Stone

7:19 PM

@RebeccaChernoff Yeah, that's makes sense. I think I was on the fence about it when I answered.

animuson

Ohhh easy tag to kill ^_^

Goodbye, low-quality

jadarnel27

@TimStone Cool! It's all good, thanks for the heads up =)

Rebecca Chernoff

@TimStone [status-decline] this?

Tim Stone

status-approved

Rebecca Chernoff

@TimStone I'll change it to support instead of feature-request and leave it open...that's probably better

Tim Stone

7:22 PM

I can't think of a use case where it would be necessary, since updates to the data already take care of this.

animuson

status-tim-stone-was-here

Rebecca Chernoff

if you run it with different values for parameters it correctly queries it without cache, right?

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff Yep

I actually should have retagged it when I answered, that was my bad.

Rebecca Chernoff

yep to which? (:

Tim Stone

(and I agree that the retagging makes more sense looking at the question now)

jadarnel27

7:42 PM

If any of you all like Muse, their new song, "Madness", is really cool.

Very different direction from the other music I've heard by them.

Tim Stone

7:58 PM

Man, what is it with Canada and body parts washing up on beaches?

Purmou

hey hey

mccarthynator

8:28 PM

Eh.

Purmou

8:53 PM

why did changing my email on one SE site change my network email?

i'm getting SE emails in another inbox now...

Anonymous

@Purmou Do you mean notification emails or filter emails?

Anonymous

Although AFAIK neither should be affected.

Purmou

good question, only filters

Anonymous

Huh.

mccarthynator

Was it 'one SE site' or 'your oldest account' (not that I know anything about it)

Purmou

8:57 PM

filters being "New [tag] Questions..." right?

on a christianity.se

i tried going to the network profile and syncing with my oldest account (SO), which has my proper email

but no dice

Anonymous

Just tried testing it on my primary account and on a secondary account. My active filters were not affected. The suggested email when creating a new filter was changed both times (similar to the name that appears in the top bar on SE.com).

Anonymous

Or at least the interface tells me it wasn't affected; I haven't actually had a test email.

Purmou

well yeah, there are also discrepancies in usernames

i changed my username on the same site, and the SE.com top bar shows that username, while the profile page shows my SO/everything else username

Anonymous

Marked status-bydesign, but I'm pretty sure Emmet misunderstood what I was reporting.

Purmou

ah, i think you were the one I was talking to about this the other day

Anonymous

9:01 PM

Yeah, I mentioned it but couldn't find the link because I was on my phone.

Purmou

mm, that's very strange...

think we could merge the email/username errors and repost it?

Anonymous

That's not a bad idea.

Purmou

eh, worse comes to worst, i'll split them up. but they are similar enough

Yeah, probably the same root cause. If you made a newer post covering both of them, I'd VtC my old one as a dupe of it. (It doesn't look like the old report is going to get any love.)

mccarthynator

9:06 PM

I wonder why I don't get that behavior.

Anonymous

@mccarthynator You see "mootinator" in the header on SE.com, not "mccarthynator"?

mccarthynator

Yeah. And I just changed movies.se to "movienator"

And didn't see that either.

Weird.

mccarthynator

I only have one ID associated with my accounts, though.
