12:00 AM
I was really tempted to send around the clip from half baked "F* you, F* you, You're cool I'm out PEACE"
 
The job is meh, the people are cool. So both \o/ and |:
 
@mootinator damn you
 
That should have gone straight to the bad joke room.
 
1 message moved to Bad Joke Room
 
12:03 AM
Hahah
 
^_^
 
@Zypher, that security conversation is still going on?
 
nah
joking around w/ the new mods now
btw security lost :-D
 
Oh ok, I just glanced in and saw the line just before yours about knowing a thing or two.
 
@mootinator I just spent the last five minutes reading all of the sql childrens books
 
12:08 AM
@jleedev Seems it ran out of steam rather quickly, heh.
 
@Zypher lmao, "Zypher triumphantly declared the end of security, and the day was saved. Besides for all the compromised machines and everything, but just ignore those."
 
/me dancing
 
Hey look, somebody doesn't have the userscript installed. q:
 
Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!
 
12:12 AM
points finger
SHAME ON YOU!
 
what this now ? some random script developed by people on the ... internets ?? hmm i dunno about that
 
Where is a security discussion going on?
@Zypher, you STILL haven't activated SSL for all users?
Just kidding
 
hmm
what's your ip?
i'll show you ssl activation
 
@Pekka hides from the nuclear fallout
 
@Zypher We're trustworthy. I've verified it with unit tests.
ducks and covers
 
12:16 AM
but is it continusly integrated ?
 
Yeah, it runs every time I rebuild myself.
 
What's a unit test?
 
And it creates documentation every time he rebuilds himself.
 
Yes, people are always anxious to know more about me.
 
wait documentation?
pfft ... i'm going nowhere near that
 
12:18 AM
blinks at @TimStone
there's documentation?
 
Only for posh people
 
NOT IN ONE OF MY PROJECTS THERE SHALL NOT BE!
 
That's the spirit.
So where is this security discussion?
Has The Rook finished his Firesheep plugin? :)
Mind you, the guy knows what he's talking about
 
@pfft ... he is weak
 
I have nothing against him.
 
12:19 AM
:-D
nah i woulda done the design ... the work isn't the problem
 
Yeah
 
the attitude of just toss a cert on a site that gets 10MM+ uniques a month is rediculous
 
@RebeccaChernoff I'm one of your projects? I think that the conversation may have gotten confused at some point. :P
 
@Zypher Hahah "@pfft"
 
12:20 AM
yeah...I took a left turn somewhere.
 
but jeff's answer to that same question tells you what my priorities have been set at by the biz
 
Honestly, I'm very confused myself, so..
 
@TimStone isn't that a normal state in here
 
@Zypher But I'm so terribly worried that someone will pilfer my reps!
 
and damnit i hate when i lose track of where my train is
 
12:21 AM
How will I buy food without my reps?!
 
@TimStone too late ;)
 
Somewhere between NY and NJ, hopefully.
 
oh the sign is working today
pulling into New Brunswick
 
@Zypher This is true.
 
@Zypher don't get off yet! 4 more stops!
 
12:22 AM
3 ore stops
 
dammit.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo close
 
haha you where oh so close @RebeccaChernoff
 
@Zypher Run, run now! She's gained control of Rovio and is following you :O

Q: Should moderators get reputation?

Graham LeeI ask as moderator of security.se. Would it be better if moderators didn't gain/lose reputation for their questions and answers? We are already supposed to represent the communities we mod, and we already have full access to the tools that are the 'prize' for good participants. So perhaps we, lik...

WTF
@TimStone yes but i control the wireless network ;)
 
Moderators aren't people and don't contribute anything other than their modliness.

Ah, well played, well played.
 
12:24 AM
@TimStone Dammit don't blow my cover!
 
I mean she uhh...err.... \o/!
 
hmm yes downvoting that question is worth my precious EXP
 
@RebeccaChernoff So are we still playing the game where we guess where @TimStone lives?
 
wait you odn't know where @TimStone lives?
 
@drachenstern No. We've moved on to stalking.
 
12:26 AM
@Zypher I'm mysterious like that.
 
shrugs
 
@RebeccaChernoff so we nailed down an actual address or we're handily using the information provided us by his WwF handle to track him down and see that he appears to be an avid FB user?
 
so ... should i be taking bribes for history removal ?
 
@drachenstern No, we're going to bribe @Zypher for the ip. That's why I'm on the train with him.
 
lol, oooooh
 
12:28 AM
@RebeccaChernoff wait ... what?
 
actually I'm not 100% certain that that's @TimStone but I do know that most of us techies use the same handles all over, so I'm assuming a 90% gaurantee rate of success
 
I should really change that picture..
 
@TimStone or am I wrong and you've secretly tricked me in a subtle way?
Hobble? Hobble? wtf am I supposed to do with Hobble.
 
@drachenstern Nah, not this time. ;)
 
12:30 AM
@TimStone woot. Then in that case I claim minor victory in the sleuthiness ;)
 
i think the guy sitting across from me is having a nightmare
 
I actually didn't think about that until after the fact either, heh.
Having a nightmare, or is on crack?
 
dunno .. he's a well dressed asian guy ... opium maybe ?
 
Crack or LSD?
Ah.
 
It's not like I'm not instantly trackable ... 1 google search gives you like 99% of what's needed to track me down, and a few deep searches gives you like 60% of my personal history.
 
12:34 AM
If you Google my name, the first instance that comes up that actually is me is my Gaming.SE profile for some reason. :P
 
I get your pro webmasters at this point
 
Nice, heh.

@drachenstern Actually in thinking about it, that's really bad given that I used to blog for my university...clearly their SEO-fu is terrible. :P
 
or that's just an incredibly common pair of names, so you're rather a needle in a haystack
 
12:39 AM
That too, but I started getting into some pretty obscure search results, heh. :P
 
and you have to admit, drachenstern is even more specifically searchable than Cole Brand ... I mean, if you're doing English only searches, what're the odds there's two of us with the same nick, whereas Brand is fairly common, and Cole was the new hotness about six to ten years ago for naming kids.
 
it makes me sad that zypher.com is just a parked website
regestered till 2014
 
I seem to get Saskatoon Tim Stone results exclusively on the first page. Probably from being in Canada.
 
and came up before me I think on google
@Zypher drachenstern.com was almost up for sniping, until they renewed in the last ten days
 
@Zypher Just hijack their session when they log into their registrar.
 
12:42 AM
yea ... and it's still not worth the 70-100$ it would cost to try and have a broker try to get it
one day it might be
 
wow ... I didn't realize I was really rather unsearchable by name
 
My name comes up with several references to my brief episode in politics :P
 
wow my damned name is everywhere
 
hmm crap the blog.sf post now has my pic as one of the top images google comes up with when you search me
 
12:43 AM
@mootinator You were a politician?
 
@TimStone Not really.
I was a name on a ballot candidate.
I suppose Google ranks that high because I used kevinstricker.ca for a domain name.
 
anybody here in .DE? (Germany for the rest of you)
 
alrighty train is comming up to my station g'night all
 
buh-bye @Zypher
 
I want to know why this doesn't resolve, or if it magically does there .... drachenstern.com
 
12:46 AM
G'night
 
Huh? CNAME lilith?
 
yah exactly
but the refer time in between is horrendous
so I'm curious why it takes so long to resolve
@Jin I'm pretty sure you win dude ;)
 
it failed to resolve pretty instantly here
 
yeah but why's it broken if they keep renewing the damned domain?
I even tried emailing around a bit, and couldn't get any responses, so that sucked
 
not your domain?
hm
maybe lilith is a working host for them :)
intranet
 
12:54 AM
now you're seeing my point :p
 
Hmm.
 
and I want the domain, I could put it to so much better use
 
It's hosted on 1and1. That explains everything.
drachenstern.com A 82.165.127.218
 
hey I didn't pay attention to that, it wasn't hosted with them before
bastards
 
Or I could be confusing another error message with them.
 
12:56 AM
I also want to pick up whois.net/whois/colebrand.com
@mootinator no, that's who whois reports now ... it wasn't that before
before it was gmx.de and lilia7@gmx.de was listed as the contact
holy crap, that gmx.de is a portal site right? it has an "erotic" tab as part of the stock home page
I'm at work so I'll just close that
 
@drachenstern Right next to Games. The ideal location.
 
Ha.
 
those europeans are much less prudish than americans
 
@DanGrossman yeah but it was unexpected 'twas all ... on the portal page? really? I didn't think it was necessary
so apparently I can get drachenstern.me which might not be a bad idea, but I like the idea of drachenstern.com
CGASRHQ = not a chance in hell
 
1:20 AM
Whoof, answered two questions in two days. At this rate I'll still be at the same rep forever.
Better than not answering any questions though.
 
Yeah, rub it in why don't ya? ;)
 
Although I got an up vote today, so :P
 
1:30 AM
Yatta!
 
Party!...Again!
 
Jin
@RebeccaChernoff i shall have my WwF revenge tomorrow..
busy css-s-s-ing tonight..
 
@Jin and kicking my arse at WwF
 
Hehe. Twas a close game. I was sure you'd nail me there at the end after I caught up.
I should go get my phone and make my moves in the other games.
It is all the over there points though.
 
You don't have to :p
 
Jin
1:31 AM
@drachenstern there's a luck factor of course.
 
Yeah, otherwise she might beat me :P
 
In a game I did with a random user I'm losing by 90. ):
 
Jin
New blog post: My love affair with @StackExchange (and a plea for help) http://bit.ly/e11vPQ @codinghorror
 
Woo big 25 point payoff.
I can take a few weeks break after all that activity.
@Jin Sheesh. I'm giving him a sympathy commit for his tenacity.
 
Ya know, the rep limit is 200 per day, not 25 per few weeks (;
 
1:46 AM
200..per..day?
 
you now have 35 points on that payoff
I would personally press forward
and just because I can :p

A: How to create rownum in SQL Server

mootinatorJust use a regular IDENTITY column as your SEQ: declare @table table(raw_seq int IDENTITY(1,1), col1 varchar(10),col2 varchar(10)); then use ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY col1 ORDER BY raw_seq) AS seq In order to get the value you want.

I'll commit to his proposal, why not
anybody have tools to find out what his rep% levels are?
 
See, the problem here is that you commit, then it goes into beta. Can you fulfill that commitment?
 
@RebeccaChernoff But only from up votes. Don't forget the unlimited extra reps for other stuff :P
 
@RebeccaChernoff I can definitely come up with 10 questions to ask during that time, or offer answers to up to 10 questions
more than that I cannot say
 
1:50 AM
@RebeccaChernoff I've even used smugmug.
 
@mootinator +1 here
 
@mootinator hehe, you're excused then. q:
 
Jin
i have several friends who use it. it's a pretty good service.
i just use Flickr Pro
 
To clarify, my usage of "you" did not mean @drachenstern or anyone specifically. Just the whole commit so my percentage goes up, doesn't matter if you're interested or would use or can contribute process is flawed.
 
@RebeccaChernoff oh, well yeah true. I kinda meant like "my questions may not be on topic but I'll ask 'em"
which just goes to show that your premise is accurate, that's all
 
1:56 AM
I bet chat doesn't onebox smugmug URLs
Damn, I lose.
For some reason I thought it didn't have a file extension.
 
and here we go again:

Q: Writing regular expression in PHP to wrap <img> with <a>

gioI want to make it so that any occurance of an image gets wrapped with a link to the image source How can I write a pattern, in PHP so that I can find these variations, which are scattered throughout text coming from the database: <img src='/dir/dir2/image1.jpg' alt='blah blah blah'> <i...

 
jQuery should be able to write a regexp to parse HTML
 
Hahah @Jin :P
32 points for 'STONED' shakes head
 
overkill?

A: Writing regular expression in PHP to wrap <img> with <a>

drachensternMay I recommend using jQuery and use this snippet instead, it should be easier (and we all love jQuery to brute-force any problem ;] ) $('img').wrap( function(){ return '<a href="' + this.src + '"></a>'; }); or is it $('img').wrap( function(){ return '<a href="' + $(this).attr...

 
@drachenstern Hmm.
 
2:10 AM
I bet he really means "wrap just these specific images" (which makes mine even more fun and applicable :D)
@mootinator hey, any situation which allows the use of jQuery to solve a non-jQuery problem ... that's what we're here for, right?
 
Exactly.

Its popularity became so great that eventually jQuery becam...

 
Though I still had to vote the non-jQuery answer up in order to justify that one :)
 
lmao, awwww
hey I got some love!
 
@drachenstern I should have had an also in there.
 
2:19 AM
@RebeccaChernoff I take it the phone did not grow legs?
I have a killer word for my next play :D (hoping @TimStone doesn't kill that option ;] )
 
God, you guys are still playing
 
Yes
You mistook us for non-geeks?
and now to give @TimStone the second triple in two turns
QMDVEYK = Not a snowball's fighting chance in hell
 
@drachenstern Ha. I've actually been talking on the phone for about the last 20 minutes. Now I can take my turns. (;
 
hehehe
 
So apparently the phone did grow legs. That, or hacked Rovio is much speedier than I expected.
ZAFTIG...nice
 
2:26 AM
My next play will be not so magnificent
@TimStone what can I say, I know what I like ;)
 
I definitely did not know what that word meant until now ;)
 
> adj : euphemisms for slightly fat; "a generation ago...buxom actresses were popular"- Robt.A.Hamilton; "chubby babies"; "pleasingly plump"
 
lmao, seriously? interesting.
It's a good word
<-- such a dork
 
EEEEOOH |:
 
@RebeccaChernoff I seriously thought you were just making a weird noise, but I think it's more likely those are your letters? :P
 
2:29 AM
> EEEEOOH definition not found
 
lmao, that was my first thought too
oh that's horrid hon, sorry
 
Nooooo
 
So maybe you could do one of the lines from the Ewok village on Endor when they were singing their songs ... EEEE ooooh EEooEEoo
 
The board is slightly too small :P
 
2:30 AM
Yatta!
 
Did I take your spot or something @TimStone? (;
 
Otherwise I could have played fruitage and gotten rid of all of my letters.
 
I'm dumping my Q
 
Oh, damn. :P
@RebeccaChernoff I'm still waiting on your move ;)
 
Hey, I won't scoff at 11 points ;)
@TimStone +1 here
 
2:32 AM
@TimStone I went...
 
@RebeccaChernoff It hasn't informed me yet :(
 
I went before a played my turn against @drachenstern and I just submitted that move.
 
Wow, the game just made a weird bubbly noise
Oh, whew.
 
@drachenstern Thank god you didn't see the other spot you could have played Qi :P
 
2:33 AM
oh helll no
damnit
 
@drachenstern I just saw that, why?
 
@RebeccaChernoff Yeah, I see it now :)

I already up voted you on that. :p
 
Sometimes you wonder if the other answerers actually read the answers that are already there
 
Naw
 
3:27 AM
Two answers duplicating my answer -__-
 
I don't wonder. I know people don't. (;
I also like getting a comment on my answer about something and my reply is:

I saw that answer too ;)
