The Unhandled Exception

9:02 PM

Yey, it's after 5pm, I can has chat again

How are you @PopularDemand? Hopefully fully recovered?

Popular Demand

@TheUnhandledException Yes, I think so, thanks.

Should leave soon, though. @TheUnhandledException is back. Uh, I mean, because it's after 5.

The Unhandled Exception

@PopularDemand You definitely should. I'm twice as dangerous now that I have XMPP :-)

I am loving the XMPP notifications :-)

Popular Demand

Heh. On a totally unrelated note, I wonder if I can vote tomorrow.

The Unhandled Exception

Why wouldn't you be able to?

Sathya

Hey folks.

Popular Demand

9:08 PM

@TheUnhandledException Could be convicted of a felony before then.

The Unhandled Exception

HAHAHA

Planning something nefarious @PopularDemand?

Popular Demand

No, actually it's because I just moved a few months ago (as I'm sure you're all tired of hearing by now). I wonder if this is one of those places where you can't vote 'til you've lived there for six months.

radp

@PopularDemand Only one way to know!

Popular Demand

A questionably legal rule in the first place, but I don't even know if it exists here.

Got some research to do tonight, I guess.

Michael Mrozek

Can you vote absentee in your old district?

It seems like you must be able to vote in one of them

The Unhandled Exception

9:10 PM

Yeah, you should be sure to vote one way or the other!

Just because you vote 30 times daily on SO, don't anybody use that as an excuse to not vote tomorrow

Popular Demand

@MichaelMrozek That's almost certainly illegal, as I can't prove residency there. I even returned a jury duty form to that effect.

radp

@The whatever you say, I'm not voting tomorrow!

Popular Demand

@TheUnhandledException I think I've only ever hit the vote cap once. And then it was because I was going through one of those old joke posts with 200 answers.

The Unhandled Exception

@radp I meant US citizens, but didn't state that :-)

radp

Anyway I don't think I want to see the US in political checkmate

but my voice is worthless, my amount of caring is low so have fun tomorrow at any rate.

The Unhandled Exception

9:13 PM

@PopularDemand I hit it very often

But I vote a LOT

radp

@PopularDemand Same here (on SO).

I actually got Suffrage legit on Ubuntu however :)

Popular Demand

@TheUnhandledException Only SO has enough questions that I might be able to do it without digging into old questions. But I don't understand 97% of the questions on SO.

radp

Clearly, we need popdemand.stackexchange.com

The Unhandled Exception

@PopularDemand True, I meant on SO

Moshe

9:23 PM

@TheUnhandledException - Hey

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Hey there

Sorry, been really busy!

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - np. Me too.

The Unhandled Exception

How have you been @Moshe?

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - Will you be available at all this week, possibly?

@TheUnhandledException - Thank G-d. [redacted]

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Awesome

Moshe

9:25 PM

And I was kinda hoping you'd resurface so we can talk PHP again.

Sathya

aww poor souls

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe I'll have limited availability this week, probably more time on Wednesday / Thursday

Sathya

apple.slashdot.org/story/10/11/01/136235/…

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException Thank you. I really appreciate it.

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Sure thing

rchern

9:27 PM

Oy, I just confused myself. Forgot I had a userscript loaded and wondered what the heck was happening.

Moshe

@Sathya - I saw that article earlier. That's a trade off for getting unlocked iPhones. :D

The Unhandled Exception

@Sathya HAHA, that's great

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - I was actually wondering about that PHP template you mentioned last time.

rchern

Actually used the mouse and wondered why hovering over a message was highlighting a message above and below it lol

Sathya

@Moshe I think my iPhone is going to hit the same problem @TheUnhandledException with DST ending next week

The Unhandled Exception

9:28 PM

@Moshe Are you on SO chat? I can hop over to the PHP room

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException ok great, I'll be there momentarily.

For the record, my main SO account still shows 101 rep and zero questions etc.

It knows that it's wrong because it even referred me to my other SE sites using the SE indicator!

The Unhandled Exception

hmmm. Maybe post an MSO question @Moshe

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - I really should.

I'm in PHP, btw.

Yi Jiang

Alright, I think I'll try pulling now. Hopes git doesn't mess this up again

Moshe

@YiJiang - Pulling what?

Yi Jiang

9:41 PM

zhang@zhang-desktop:~/Documents/Git/StackExchangeScripts$ git pull --no-ff github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts.git master
From github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up-to-date.

Grrrr...

rchern

pull my stuff into a different branch

Sathya

oh wow.

radp

Probably the most elegant FizzBuzz implementation I've seen so far.

Moshe

@radp -Cool

Q: My account is crippled. OpenID to blame?

I tried logging into my account on SO and I was told that I don't have an account associated with my openID. I click "Create ..." and it seems to have overwritten my account. When I look at my user profile, I see 101 rep and no question, answers votes etc. I've tried logging in using Safari and ...

The Unhandled Exception

We had a client leave about two months ago. Just checked their "new" site...

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - and?

Sathya

@TheUnhandledException dare I ask for the URL ?

Moshe

@Sathya - My thoughts exactly.

The Unhandled Exception

their new site is a gigantic image of what the site we built for them looked like, which is a huge link to their Facebook page...

rchern

9:53 PM

hahahahahaha

The Unhandled Exception

epic fail :-(

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - Is that legal?

Sathya

ouch.

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Yes -- we were paid in full, it's their design now

just... sad

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - Yep. I hear

The Unhandled Exception

9:53 PM

@Sathya and @Moshe click quick, won't be here for long:

Moshe

Reminds me of a potential client I contacted who said his webs.com website was "very good".

Sathya

facepalm

o holy crap.

The Unhandled Exception

I know

Yi Jiang

Erm.... I feel stupid.. but now that I've got a new branch set up how do I pull stuff into it?

rchern

aww damn i was a split second too slow

Sathya

9:54 PM

and love the page title too

The Unhandled Exception

I mean, it's completly misleading to any new visitors

Sathya

@YiJiang git pull <url>

rchern

clicked (:

Moshe

Mind you, he is a singer.

His site has "games" and "guestbook" links

The Unhandled Exception

@Sathya I know. "Untitled Page". That'll do a hell of a lot for their google ranking!

Moshe

9:55 PM

and some terrible CSS implementation of a horizontal navbar.

Yi Jiang

@Sathya No erm.. not that. I think.... erm...

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Guestbook...?

rchern

that's horrible

The Unhandled Exception

LOL

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - At least your graphics look nice.

The Unhandled Exception

9:55 PM

@rchern I know. And I worked my butt off for this client... oh well...

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - It's webs.com, welcome to web 1.5

Sathya

@TheUnhandledException you know i didn't realize that you literally meant it >_>

Yi Jiang

Oh wth. I git clone @rchern's repo. I think I'll manually merge them now...

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Thanks. I'll tell our graphics team. My graphics don't generally look very good -- Have you seen my sockpuppet?? ;-)

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - It does look great though. No I have not, link please? (A non-evaporating one, that is. :P )

The Unhandled Exception

9:57 PM

@Sathya Yes. I realized ;-)

Josh's Socks

@Moshe you asked for me?

Moshe

@JoshsSocks - lol

Sathya

LOL

Moshe

What's the deal with that acocunt?

You sell socks?

rchern

It says they'll be open for business starting today. Is that image what has been their placeholder or is that what they put up today?

The Unhandled Exception

9:58 PM

No. Nobody asked for you. Go back to the XMPP room or I'll let @rchern iron you again!

rchern

@Moshe, quick! grab an iron!

Josh's Socks

crys

Moshe

lol

The Unhandled Exception

@JoshsSocks That'd be an interesting feat for a sock

Moshe

grabs iron in haste

Josh's Socks

9:59 PM

@TheUnhandledException That was a horrible pun. I'm leaving in protest!

rchern

groans.

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - Seriously now, what's up with that acocunt?

The Unhandled Exception

I get far too much enjoyment out of that... ;-)

Sathya

:))

rchern

All in favor of getting rid of @TheUnhandledException in addition to @JoshsSocks say aye.

The Unhandled Exception

9:59 PM

@Moshe Seriously, I use it to test XMPP integration for the chat

And to annoy @rchern, which has become my new favorite pastime (-:

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - I see. That graphic aint too bad.

rchern

@TheUnhandledException ):

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern Oh, you know I jest (-:

Sathya

@rchern naay!

:P

rchern

...all in favor of getting rid of @Sathya too...

radp

10:01 PM

All in favour of an @rchern only channel...

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern I'm not sure if they've updated that image recently...

Sathya

@rchern :-D

rchern

@radp oy.

The Unhandled Exception

I checked that today because it's said Nov 1 for weeks

radp

@rchern I'm just fast forwarding there :P

Sathya

10:02 PM

btw, the Halloween parade in Austin --> flickr.com/photos/sathyabhat/tags/halloween2010

rchern

I mean, how do they plan to take orders? lol

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern, clearly they neither launched today nor did they even update the image, LOL

@rchern No idea. And with us they had a fully functioning website, ecommerce system, and online preview tool!

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - Well a company like that is not going to get anybody willing to work with them.

Sathya

@TheUnhandledException lol. they decided to take personal orders over facebook I suppose

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe We were their 3rd web development company...

Moshe

10:03 PM

@TheUnhandledException - Not surprised.

The Unhandled Exception

@Sathya haha, yeah, really

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - yesh is hebrew for "there is". :-)

Sathya

@Moshe oh ? didn't know that.

Moshe

@Sathya - yep. I only mentoined because of @TheUnhandledException's typo.

rchern

hehehe I knew that!

feels proud

The Unhandled Exception

10:05 PM

@Moshe Huh, even I had forgotten that :-)

I remember only the smallest amount of hebrew

And I have the chat open on Chrome for Linux where I don't know how to type Hebrew, I can only do that on my Mac

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - It's hard to forget while still in yeshiva (no relation to the word "yesh")

In linux you can add hebrew .

The Unhandled Exception

I do remember: Ani Ohev Malafelfone!

Moshe

I've done it before in Ubuntu

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe I'm sure I could. I just never bothered to :-)

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - rok

rchern

10:06 PM

שלום

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern Nice :-)

Moshe

Great photo here: digitalart.org/art/49540/miscellaneous/selfillumination

My wallpaper on my new MacBook

The Unhandled Exception

OK. Now I have to fire up Chrome for Mac...

rchern

applauds XMPP for showing the hebrew correctly

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern Really? Yours did? Mine was empty

Moshe

10:08 PM

@rchern, @TheUnhandledException - In XCode, I have to type hebrew backwards, that is, type a letter, arrow left, type a letter, arrow left etc.

rchern

...ouch.

The Unhandled Exception

UG!

Moshe

Yep

Sathya

Moshe

@Sathya - ?

I wonder if XCode 4 fixes this...

Sathya

10:09 PM

@Moshe that was wrt :260500

2 mins ago, by rchern

applauds XMPP for showing the hebrew correctly

The Unhandled Exception

@rchern: שלומ רבכא!

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException That second word is wrong, hehe

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe (not sure what her hebrew name is :-)

Sathya

hmm

Moshe

Oh, my bad, I didn't realize, you were trying to spell a hebrew name.

The Unhandled Exception

10:11 PM

Plus, if my English spelling is poor, my hebrew is even worse :-)

Moshe

Thought you were going for שלום וברכה!

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Actually, I was trying to spell an English name phonetically in Hebrew, LOL

Moshe

Which means, peace and blessing.

Ok

Well Rebecca would be רבקה, (Rivkah).

(Assuming I spelled it right.)

rchern

and on that note, leaving work (;

The Unhandled Exception

אני יהשײע. אני לו טדה עברת

@rchern LOL. Later!

Moshe

10:13 PM

@rchern - g'nite.

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe Oh yes, of course, I should have known that

There was a Rebecca in my second year Hebrew class at Brandeis

Moshe

@TheUnhandledException - I wish I could stay longer and correct both of our hebrew, but I have a killer app to write so I can afford CS5 and some new video equipment.

And you spelled your hebrew name wrong. :P

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe LOL, and I really should be working :-)

Moshe

Thanks for the hlep on PHP, I really appreciate it.

ttyl

The Unhandled Exception

@Moshe AHAHAHA. A very good sign I should NOT be typing in Hebrew!

@Moshe Sure thing, any time I'm around

Moshe

10:14 PM

Thanks.

The Unhandled Exception

...I spelled my own name wrong... that is too funny! Not going to try that again anytime soon...

radp

Having 21 interesting tags and just two questions in the unanswered tab... and one is yours.

The Unhandled Exception

@radp Not sure if that's good or bad :-)

Sathya

now this is a great website.

superior-web-solutions.com

The Unhandled Exception

It should attract more attention to your question!

@Sathya Must be. It's superior!

Sathya

10:22 PM

@TheUnhandledException :-D

The Unhandled Exception

One of my customers has created a recursive loop in their website's navigation structure... which is now causing a Stack Overflow when anyone tries to load the website...

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hmm... Cht.MSO works, but Chat.SE doesn't. strange.

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haven't others been having that issue over the past few days?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@TheUnhandledException I dunno. I haven't seen any mention of what I'm specifically running into (it seems like it's blocked my IP for some reason.)

Q: Can't access chat, multiple browsers deliver a 'too many redirects' browser error.

Currently I am unable to access http://chat.stackexchange.com via any link or by typing the URL. I get the following error in Safari on OS X: Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://chat.stackexchange.com/”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another pag...

support bug chat

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Could maybe be HAproxy blocking you?

That happens to me when I launch Chrome and it tries to load too many chats at once

LessPop_MoreFizz

10:29 PM

@TheUnhandledException Was only trying to open one chat though, not an entire row of tabs of them or anything.

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Have you tried clearing cookies for that domain?

LessPop_MoreFizz

yep.

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmm. And, "Too Many redirects" doesn't make sense...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Sorry, not sure...

Anyone else?

LessPop_MoreFizz

happens on multiple browsers, multiple platforms. The only browser that doesn't get too many redirects is IE. And IE gets the 'your IP is DOSing us' warining.

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, that's what triggered me to suggest the HAProxy thing

@LessPop_MoreFizz You could try Tor... just to see if using a new IP helps

LessPop_MoreFizz

10:35 PM

@TheUnhandledException using a new IP definitely helps. As mentioned, I can log in from my phone once I switch to 3G.

(i.e. using AT&T's IP rather than my home connection.)

The Unhandled Exception

@LessPop_MoreFizz Sorry. I'm doing too many things at once (no surprise there!)

The Unhandled Exception

10:48 PM

Allllmost done with work for the day, then I can return to XMPP integration

Having used it all day makes me long for write support!

rchern

11:03 PM

haha

Tim Stone

Ugh, I think the stupid Hot Pocket I foolishly decided would be alright to eat earlier poisoned me, heh.

rchern

o:

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Oh no!

Was it old?

Hey there @Dexter

Tim Stone

I've felt like someone's been stabbing me in the gut for the last three hours

Nah, it wasn't....but it was a Hot Pocket.

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Damn. That's not good at all

Dexter

11:09 PM

Hey

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Yeah last time I had one of those must've been 10 years ago

I could eat anything back then, LOL

Tim Stone

I eat a lot of obscure stuff, but I try to stay away from things that are too artificial, hahah.

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Yeah, these days same here

Tim Stone

Unfortunately I was short on lunch food today though, so compromises had to be made. ;)

The Unhandled Exception

I hope you feel better @Tim! I know an upset stomach can be really draining

Tim Stone

11:12 PM

Thanks! I'm hoping it clears up soon on account of the three day conference I have to go to tomorrow...Excellent timing, as always, heh.

I imagine it'll clear up by then though, so no big deal.

Hmm, I should take a photo with my shiny SO stuff sometime too.. makes note

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone How's everyone getting all the SO swag? I feel so left out ;-)

Tim Stone

@TheUnhandledException Oh, you did miss out on the 1,000,000th question, didn't you?

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone What do you mean by "miss out"?

I saw it like 20 minutes after it was posted, but, maybe I needed to do something, LOL

Tim Stone

@TheUnhandledException Ah, when it happened Jeff said to email the team because he was giving us all prizes for being in the room at the time.

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone DAMNIT!

I guess getting free stuff generally does involve doing something to earn it, LOL

Tim Stone

11:22 PM

Even if it's just being overly enthusiastic about reaching 1M, heheh ;)

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Or emailing proving I was in the room at the time, lol

Tim Stone

Also true. :P

The Unhandled Exception

I think even though I was probably technically in the room, I know I was AFK, so I think I'm disqualified :-)

Tim Stone

There's always 2M, Jeff's generosity permitting ;)

On a completely unrelated note, I'm going to blame everyone who notification spammed me earlier for breaking chat!

The Unhandled Exception

LOL

Tim Stone

11:24 PM

Now I get two notification sounds for every @-mention.

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone That's odd

Switch to XMPP and control your own notifications! XD

Tim Stone

What's even worse is that the first one comes before the message even shows up.

The Unhandled Exception

in XMPP, 2 hours ago, by Josh's Socks

Tim Stone

Then the message, then another one.

Hmm, that would be an epic feature. :P

I demanded rate limiting on the sounds here, but I don't think that I got it.

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone I asked for many sound changes, @balpha granted me none

rchern

11:27 PM

@TimStone, what's that you say?

@TimStone, could you repeat yourself please?

Tim Stone

@rchern Oh, so it turns out that the bug is slightly more difficult to fix than I thought, because the chat itself is interfering, heheh

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Unhandled Exception

hahahaha

Tim Stone

I should consider myself lucky, at least it isn't that bizarre SE chat sound.

rchern

I dunno that I've heard the SE one actually

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Yeah I haven't used SE chat yet

Tim Stone

11:28 PM

I was just sitting here, got a notification, and was like "WTF was that?"

rchern

Ah, just enabled the flash plugin on chat.se

The Unhandled Exception

rchern

nah, tis enabled

Tim Stone

Chrome doesn't have native audio support?

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Only when using jQuery

Tim Stone

11:30 PM

Hahah

There, let's see if she heard it. :P

rchern

o:

i wasn't paying attention, but it didn't grab my attention

Tim Stone

Ah :P

rchern

alert me again?

Lance Roberts

Ugghhh, how do we get the specific room banner that showed before under the user pictures?

The Unhandled Exception

@LanceRoberts What's this now?

@LanceRoberts Which banner?

it suddenly got quiet in here, lol
