@MarcGravell, Hi, how's the play rehearsal going?
 
Well, the dress rehearsal was uninspiring, but we're working on it
 
\o/
lol
 
@rchern you can't regress now. We all saw the right-way-around smilie
 
7:02 PM
ha
 
cheater!
 
She regressed ages ago. We may never know what traumatic event happened between the 3 day beta and now
 
rchernBot Issue #4233 - Backwards smile - now marked as regression from the July 17th commit
 
@JoshsSocks Proving the correct way once and for all?
 
7:02 PM
@Michael Adium does not approve
 
@JoshsSocks :)(:
 
@JoshsSocks :(
 
@MarcGravell huh?

This page does not load for me. It is a lie.
 
Ah, I missed the fact that it was July

rchernBot Issue #4233 - Backwards smile - now marked as regression from the July 17th commit
 
7:05 PM
@rchern I have to agree here.
 
I was wondering about that. How is it oneboxing?
 
@Michael you mean XMPP?
 
@MichaelMrozek it depends on whether the person posting the link has access
 
@TheUnhandledException No, the rchern right-way smiley post; the link itself is broken but somehow the onebox still works
 
you need 10k to see deleted rooms, for example
 
7:06 PM
@MarcGravell Really? I was going to feature request that exact thing, I didn't think it worked
 
Oh! I didn't even think about that, excellent point!
It's a bug :-)
The JSOn feed contains the onebox
 
Old Feedback Beta sounds very suspicious |:
 
and obviously, someone who has access to the room could just post it directly, so we allow it to onebox in that case
 
Oh! So that's why @PopularDemand could have posted that
 
so it's not a bug @Marc?
 
7:07 PM
Hmmmm @rchern doesn't remember. That means she must have had her memory wiped since then
 
I don't think so, no. If you have access to the room you can re-post. If you don't have access you can't abuse onebox to get messages that you shouldn't be able to see normally.
 
Why are we boring @Marc with the same kind of chit chat he could do from the comfort of his home when we could bore @Marc with the kind of chit chat he can only do before he passes through porno security scans at the airport?
 
If I was supposedly in the room to say it, why can't I see the onebox? (;
 
Interesting, I had no idea that room was deleted.
 
@rchern It's been deleted in the meantime.
 
7:09 PM
@radp Ugh, I was listening to the news about that yesterday. Very scary.
 
Oh right, and I can't see deleted rooms. Got it.
 
@rchern You should get 10k on meta :P
 
So, we should talk about important things.
Like when we can expect the play to be web-cast.
 
@rchern Fairy wings, yes. I wonder which one of the team want's to wear them.
 
or forward smilies.
 
7:09 PM
That was apparently a very interesting conversation back in July.
 
@MichaelMrozek I don't even have 3K.
 
@rchern You'll probably get it on the way to 10k
 
Heh. Ya think?
 
I've been throwing away reps in bounties when I could now be closer to have access to the private beta logs!
 
@radp I did actually get all my luggage emptied over a table at the airport (UK while leaving)
 
7:11 PM
I'm so foolish.
@MarcGravell I read. You still weren't searched until resistance™ is met.
...or scanned through an automated penis measuring device.
 
I almost got a gamecube confiscated the last time I flew; fortunately one of the TSA guys knew what it was, the others were highly suspicious of the scary box the scanner couldn't see inside
 
@radp It's amazing the sort of terms they use, eh
 
the old "do you mind if we look in your bag, sir" which is really fancy talk for "step back or the guy with the gun is stepping in; we are looking in your bag - if you say no I'm fetching the rubber gloves"
 
I wonder what they'd do to the members of the other gender
 
@MarcGravell Are you in NY now?
 
7:12 PM
@YiJiang no resistance is met, so...
 
@MarcGravell Seriously, I never want to fly ever again.
 
Yeah, there are many horror stories about US airport security, abusing the fact it's not US yet and everything.
 
@MichaelMyers yes; downtown at the SO office.
 
@PopularDemand Will be flying ext week, but not to the US, so I should be safe
 
@radp Apparently balpha was about 90 minutes in immigraion

Q: What CSS Framework does StackOverflow use?

Liquid90605I am in charge of maintaining a large number of sites running on the same code base but with subtle color/ui differences. This is similar to how Stack Overflow has many different Q&A sites with the same code base but different layouts/colors. I remember reading an Article written by one of th...

 
I love flying. I hate being assaulted. This is a dilemma.

@MarcGravell He's fairly dodgy-looking
 
Comments? I don't remember there been any though.
 
Unrelated. (Link shared by LessPopMoreFizz.)
 
7:15 PM
Argh, Minecraft death.
 
@MarcGravell: Feature request: Make IT upgrade me to IE8 so chat won't bounce around and randomly freeze.

@rchern Nice win/win scenario you've concocted there
 
LOL @rchern image
 
@rchern I believe that evaluates to false.
 
7:18 PM
↑ More likely.
 
heh

shakes fist at music industry, goes off to spin the wheel
 
@YiJiang It's "The Final Countdown" by Europe.
 
The Wheel says it's C#'s fault. I wonder how we're going to pin it this time
@radp Thanks
 
7:23 PM
@YiJiang you should add $() to the wheel.
Then, if $() is selected, the wheel spins again suspiciously.
 
Heh.
Hello.
 
Hello @Moshe
 
Did you rig it to always blame @rchern, or am I just lucky
 
@MichaelMrozek It's just more accurate.
 
7:28 PM
Not cool. ):
 
Hey look, a smiley with eyes on it's chin.
 
To be honest all I was trying to do is write a different animation function that tried to emulate the way the wheel's ticks slow down the wheel itself, but jQuery didn't want any of that.
 
@MichaelMrozek It's random, like the way the RNG always returns 4
@radp Try writing your own easing function
 
I'M having problems with some animation myself.
Anyone care to join me in the roach motel?
 
@YiJiang I tried and found out that if you pass an easing parameter that isn't "linear" -- any easing parameter, it'll just do the "swing" one.
 
7:30 PM
@radp I made a mistake in the original wheel - the easing parameter is suppose to take a string
 
Indeed, if you took your original wheel and used some other easing parameter, the wheel wouldn't change.
 
Try "easeInBounce"
 
@YiJiang Yeah, so I tried to write my function then pass jQuery the name of that function in a string.
Didn't work.
 
@radp Check the easing plugin for how they did it
 
@TheUnhandledException - I'm in the roach motel.
Simple math algorithm troubles.
 
7:41 PM
@Moshe I have a deadline today, can't help out too much right now, sorry
 
Ok, np.
Good luck.
 
So I just experienced something I've never had happen before. I answered a question along with someone else and they downvote me with a comment that just says -1 No that's not it. Interesting.
 
Msarchet? What question?
 
One on SO about XMLNamespaces
 
7:42 PM
-1
A: xml document, set attribute question

msarchetI think it's because you are adding an empty namespace into the document here: string s = doc.DocumentElement.GetNamespaceOfPrefix(""); XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable); nsmgr.AddNamespace("rs", s); And then when you append that node it...

 
I just think that's odd
that one
yes
and actually yes I see what I misread now, I just think's it odd to leave a downvote comment like that
 
It seems logical; he's saying that isn't the cause of the OP's problem
I thought you were saying you both posted the same answer, which would've made the comment pretty confusing
 
Yea I get WHY he did it
I dunno, I don't mind the downvotes, I just thought the comment was a little, eh, pointless
btw, how do you link a question link that, just the link?
 
aww. Easing functions only need return a value between 0 and 1.
So if I want to change the effect by how much the thing changes, I need to rely on global variables and slow maths.
...or ditch jQuery.
 
inconceivable!
 
7:57 PM
I found some people who don't love jQuery
hard to believe, I know..
 
2 mins ago, by rchern
inconceivable!
 
@Fosco They idolize it instead?
Also, teleconference finally complete, whew.
 
sadly, no.. they want me to re-do it in ASP.NET AJAX.
lightweight web services and an amazing interface was just too much for them.
 
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
they want every postback to completely regenerate the entire page object and use the same bandwidth as the entire page, even if only updating tiny sections.
i should've known.. of course that makes the most sense. :)
 
8:01 PM
Sounds like a quality Enterprise choice™ to me.
 
Three people leaving simultaneously makes me suspicious
 
Leaving from where?
 
here.. i saw that too.
 
@MichaelMrozek Auto kick from inactivity I suspect
 
@MichaelMrozek and yet you're still here. (;
 
8:04 PM
Ah, clearly I wasn't paying enough attention.
 
8:14 PM
@rchern No power in the verse can stop me

@MichaelMrozek Sadly, that just makes me feel old now.

Q: How can I send an image on the web in an XMPP (Jabber) message?

JoshFor the XMPP interface for the Stack Overflow chat, I am currently taking the HTML of the chat messages and converting to valid XML, and setting that as the html child element of the XMPP message object. In my Mac OS X jabber client this was working great! It meant that when users in the SO chat ...

Any expert advice welcomed!
 
@TheUnhandledException daaamn... thats unfortunate =\
 
I know!!!
And it was working so well
but Adium had to fix that "bug". I think for now I'm going to recompile Adium and reverse that change :-)
 
8:26 PM
@TheUnhandledException Worth an upvote, at any rate.
 
Thanks @PopularDemand... like your questions I've upvoted, what I really want is some brilliant ruby code which will solve the problem for me, but I'll take +5 Rep
 
@PopularDemand We're in rare agreement.
 
@TheUnhandledException Sorry, I'm un-upvoting you. Blame Fosco.
 
@Fosco!!!! shakes fist
 
8:29 PM
@TheUnhandledException Solution: ascii-art all images
 
@MichaelMrozek I love it!!!
 
@MichaelMrozek That is a far creepier version of your avatar. Well done.
 
That's great @MichaelMrozek
 
@PopularDemand Oh, the shrinkage for chat helped disturbify it. But still.
 
The one that's twice as big is less disturbing, but doesn't fit in a terminal window
 
8:32 PM
@MichaelMrozek you could've switched between a few more image types :)</nitpick>
well, okay, aview only needs conversion to pnm
 
@rchern Stackflair ): Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Line 1, position 1.
 
Oh yey, I have surpassed @radp in chat message volume and reclaimed the #2 spot!
 
 
Yes well, I'm only ever on here
Oh. Sum of all
 
@radp Not nearly as entertaining:
 
8:43 PM
Ok. You win :-)
 
@MichaelMrozek I'll give you that :)
however you should get to zoom
+ and -
 
muahaha... iamfos.co
 
hrm, why is Putty failing to send F-keys over SSH :/
 
@Fosco that's great!
 
status-norepro
better now?
 
8:47 PM
@rchern has MSO rep been fixed yet?
 
oh, okay. Terminal → Keyboard → Xterm R6
 
@TheUnhandledException yes
 
and welcome @mootinator
 
/wave
 
Oh so it has @rchern:

er
Much better
 
8:49 PM
Hooray
 
Thanks @rchern
 
I should probably play catch-up to rest of you. :P
 
 
oh oh my turn!
 
I was just thinking @Tim it's funny how both you and @Fosco are ahead of me on SO but I'm ahead with combined rep
 
8:50 PM
Gold and diamonds are for losers!!
 
@rchern you besteded me :'(
 
@TheUnhandledException You've got all around talent.. that's a good thing :)
 
@TheUnhandledException I'm not good at branching out.
 
@rchern Well played.
 
 
8:51 PM
@radp Well played!
 
zing
 
I'm bronzer than you! :P
 
Clearly everyone brought their A-game today.
 
Yeah but I'm 65% of the way to G=Fanatic on MSO, SU and SF!
 
you really have no gold badges on any stack site?
 
8:52 PM
Silverer too it turns out. It pays to have a bazillion accounts :P
 
i only have one, but really, just surprised.
 
@Fosco yep.
I'm that boring.
 
...are we really having a rep/badge contest..? ;-)
 
Beat that! Oh wait...
 
I'm pretty sure @rchern rigged StackFlair to not work for me:
 
8:53 PM
@mootinator meet StackFlair (;
 
@MichaelMrozek You know where the accurate wheel is.
 
<_<
 
@radp I don't need your fancy Javascript to know who to blame all my problems on
 
So the API responds to too many requests by giving you a HTML page? :P
 
@rchern you were saved by my XMPP interface!
 
8:54 PM
 
> 3:54:09 PM The_tavern: Unknown Command "/blame rchern"
 
@MichaelMrozek What's the problem?
 
@JoshsSocks your XMPP interface???
 
What gold badges do you have?

@MichaelMrozek PEBKAC.
 
@JoshsSocks How can a sock gulp? Seriously, how does that even physically work?
 
Url please?
 
Oh, right, fanatic is an easy one.
14 days to go for that one.
 
8:56 PM
Maybe I should not get it instead, come think of it.
 
@MichaelMrozek, you should post an issue on the GitHub site, you've found a bug! If a single site is requested, it apparently requires the theme to be listed explicitly.
 
Yay, support for Community™ has been added :D
 
Am I the first person to ever request non-combined flair?
 
@MichaelMrozek I've only been using Gaming-only flair. But with a black theme.
 
8:58 PM
But with an explicit theme :P
 
that already has the theme specified
 
@radp Wow, you can really see the blood in the meat slurry.
 
I have an answer on Programmers.SE that has +11 / -9.. there should be a badge for that.
 
@Fosco [ • Troll]
