Tavern on the Meta

I figure data.SE is updated at about the same time as the dump, and since the month is over in a few hours, then if it takes "3 to 4 days" then I'll know ;)

@radp but of course not

Know what sucks about having a corrupted library with lots of duplicate songs?

radp

@drachenstern starting over?

drachenstern

6:08 PM

lol, no, I have ~7000 songs to go through and check for what's useful and what's crap

I've done about 1k this morning

mostly based on path/filename/size

radp

6:30 PM

Anyway

Have a capital I with a dot on it:

drachenstern

6:42 PM

lol

radp

$("head link[rel=stylesheet]").attr("href","content/gaming/all.css")

more pixelation for everybody!

Rebecca Chernoff

nothxkbye

radp

(use on, say, Stack Overflow)

Tim Stone

Hmm..

drachenstern

Does that really work? wow, I never knew that ... I'll have to remember that

radp

6:53 PM

Actually it doesn't fully work.

It doesn't load the required web fonts

Actually it doesn't fully work.

Tim Stone

I think we get the message ;)

Moshe

Hi all.

What should we call that wallpaper?

Decoy?

@YiJiang - Yea, we were discussing name for an app, but not necessarily a "steakhouse".

drachenstern

@Moshe boredom?

Moshe

@drachenstern - no, something wittier.

Tim Stone

I'm not sure it's wit-worth...eh

drachenstern

7:06 PM

@Moshe I know, see :421215

Moshe

@drachenstern link?

radp

@RebeccaChernoff See? Much better.

drachenstern

You don't have the userscript installed?

radp

Moshe

@TimStone - I find it humerous, if it had a lolcat in it, you people would like it.

drachenstern

7:08 PM

it puts the numbers in the right hand list

radp

@Moshe Failed experiment #4

drachenstern

@radp no I assume that's gaming (probably because of the logo)

Rebecca Chernoff

@radp I already have a migraine, no need to help it along.

radp

@drachenstern That makes it at least thrice as better!

Moshe

What script are you discussing @radp and @drachenstern?

drachenstern

7:10 PM

I'm discussing rchern's userscript for SE

he's discussing replacing the CSS on other sites with the one from gaming

as a bit of humor

Moshe

Ah, heh.

drachenstern

damnit @MarcGravell please fix the hide on the desktop notifys!

radp

@drachenstern Actual Support Call™

Moshe

Can we get a userscript to tally all of the stars that "oy" has received all time?

radp

well almost.

Q: Using StackOverflow's visual style in other StackExchange sites

Would this be somehow possible? It would help my poor eyes. P.S: I guess there could be a Chrome/Firefox extension to do this.

drachenstern

7:11 PM

@RebeccaChernoff @TimStone @YiJiang can we put something in the userscript that will remove those every thirty seconds or so? or remove the first found on screen once every ten seconds?

$('desktop-notification-toast')[0].cancel();

Moshe

@RebeccaChernoff - has two seperate times she said "oy" but they should be tallied together - it saves space and makes the "oy" factor greater.

@drachenstern agreed.

drachenstern

@Moshe or we could stop starring the Oy's

Moshe

@drachenstern - I actually want to see the all time number of "oy"s starred.

drachenstern

@Moshe chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/search?q=oy

3

Rebecca Chernoff

@drachenstern I like this option

drachenstern

7:13 PM

lol, somebody should star it, then we could get Tyler to pin it

Rebecca Chernoff

@drachenstern It isn't an element on the page like that.

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff damnit, I was hoping you could get it :(

since you're in the same domain and all

Rebecca Chernoff

I don't think so.

radp

I like the part where an owner uses the "Cancel star" button

drachenstern

Is there a way to capture them on create? can we reverse hack his code and remove that part?

Tim Stone

7:15 PM

Yeah no, the notification API is dumb and does let you ask for visible toasts..

Rebecca Chernoff

doesn't...

Tim Stone

Right, on iPhone, sorry..

Anyway, I didnt check how Marc did it to see if there was any way to hook in, but I doubt it.

radp

lol, my mobile phone's GSM interference with my computer's speakers sounds produces floppy disk drive like sounds.

FLOPPY LIKE IT WAS 1984

In other news.

Yay, Gaming gets its first +500 bounty!

Q: What happened to my face?!

I bought Dragon Age: Origins -- Ultimate Edition, and got it installed on my computer. Registered the game, registered the DLC it comes with, and go to create a new character. Male humans apparently lack a model at all (they are just floating hair and a set of mysteriously floating clothes) and ...

pc bug dragonage-origins

Tim Stone

Hahah, nice. Also, hooray!

Moshe

A quick bit of trivia:

@RebeccaChernoff, then @rchern, introduced chat.meta.stackoverflow.com to the word "oy" on August 3, 2010 in the following post:

in Chat feedback, Aug 3 at 17:49, by rchern

Haha, oh man...if the number of tabs I have just from this worries me...and then this goes to each site. Oy.

radp

7:21 PM

She never knew what she was going to get herself into.

Tim Stone

Heh

radp

@Moshe You can't be sure of that tbh -- you don't have 10k meta reps, so you can't see the private betas' rooms.

I also don't :(

Later.

Tim Stone

See ya

Rebecca Chernoff

Heh.

Oh, that reminds me, need to push my display name out to the other sites.

Moshe

@radp - True.

@RebeccaChernoff - ?

Rebecca Chernoff

7:27 PM

? ?

Tim Stone

You finally decided to go ahead with that? :P

Rebecca Chernoff

Mostly just forgot lol

Tim Stone

Ah, heheh.

sighs I hope I can get back to my computer soon, tired of typing on the phone..

Rebecca Chernoff

I'm surprised the Keyboard Shortcut userscript didn't get any buzz when I posted it.

Tim Stone

Oh, it didn't? I thought at least a few people were really interested in that, hrm..

Must because the help menu isn't shiny enough ;)

I actuallly started to fix that up for you, but not quite done..

drachenstern

7:38 PM

Yeah, I was thinking about that, would it be worthwhile to use a tabular layout or just a fixed-columns-width thing?

I'm a table kind of guy myself, but I'm not normal, and I recognize that

Tim Stone

Heh :P

yawns I can't wait to go home..that's terrible of me. shakes head

@RebeccaChernoff, don't let me forget to actually pull that pull request sometime too, heh.

The Unhandled Exception

2010 has seen it's end! Here's to a much better 2011. Happy new year everyone!

Rebecca Chernoff

I'm thinking 2011 is gonna be an epic year. \o/

The Unhandled Exception

For some like @YiJiang it's 2011 already, many it's in a few hours, but I won't be here at 12 ESt so I'll wish you all a happy 2011 now :-)

@RebeccaChernoff I am hoping so myself

Tim Stone

You too!

The Unhandled Exception

7:47 PM

I'm expecting a far better year than 2010. This was a tough year for a lot of us!

Tim Stone

I hope so...I need to change something, heh...

The Unhandled Exception

I can relate @Tim, I surely can relate :-)

Rebecca Chernoff

I hope my migraine is gone by tonight. ):

Tim Stone

I'm beginning to think it's all self-inflicted, which makes changing problematic, but what can you do..

The Unhandled Exception

@RebeccaChernoff Ug that is no fun!!! :-( I hope so too

@TimStone No reason you can't change yourself :-)

Tim Stone

7:49 PM

$('#Rebecca.migraine').remove();

The Unhandled Exception

One of my new year's resolutions is to be more efficient and I think that will help me a lot

@Rebecca, you got lucky, my 2010 prank failed. I had planned to change my name from "The Unhandled Exception to "Oy!", but the system silently rejected that name.

Tim Stone

Sure, if I can decide what the problem is, Hahah..

Rebecca Chernoff

@TheUnhandledException o:

Tim Stone

lmao, touche SO code, touche.

I need to stop letting myself depress myself, I guess that's one of my resolutions :P

drachenstern

and to you Josh, happy new years

The Unhandled Exception

7:51 PM

@TimStone I've been there before!

Tim Stone

...I mean, I'm a shining beacon of optimism and everything, but... ;)

The Unhandled Exception

@drachenstern Thanks, same to you :-)

drachenstern

My only resolution is to stick to my budget at the house

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone I can relate, the face I present to the world can differ from the person inside!

drachenstern

@TheUnhandledException we all do that ;)

Geez, I've deleted over 300 confirmed duplicates ... :(

That's out of 7000+

new resolution: don't hork the media library in the future

Tim Stone

7:53 PM

If I acted like I act on chat, but all the time...that'd be an issue ;)

drachenstern

secondary new resolution: do timely backups of media folders on the computers I own (media not being restricted to audio)

Tim Stone

Backups...I might steal that one for myself, hahah

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Yes same for me (obviously). I find being ridiculous on chat helps my spirits, since I have to be so serious everywhere else these days :-)

@drachenstern This is a resolution of mine also

except for all data

I have a backup system in place I am just not resolute enough in using it

Rebecca Chernoff

Your backup system shouldn't be something you use.

The Unhandled Exception

I also will choose a new name for 2011. "The Unhanded Exception" has really grown on me, but, it was supposed to be temporary so I think I should change :-/

Rebecca Chernoff

7:58 PM

It should be something that just happens.

After initial setup of course.

The Unhandled Exception

Exactly

And right now it's not, it's a Virtual Machine I start up and run a script

Tim Stone

Well I just want to RAID my box, but I've been lazy about getting over to NewEgg. That Internet drive is a long one..

The Unhandled Exception

RAID != backup

Rebecca Chernoff

newegg.com

The Unhandled Exception

You should know that @Tim :-)

Rebecca Chernoff

8:01 PM

@TimStone, click ^^ (:

Or shift+tab to it or use glee or whatever keyboard navigation you prefer.

Tim Stone

Im not worried about much else than drive failure, heh

I'm on my phone! :p

Rebecca Chernoff

Oh, right. Then tap!

Tim Stone

It's not a link, hahah

Rebecca Chernoff

Interesting. Tis for me.

The Unhandled Exception

You people and your web-enabled phones. bah!

Tim Stone

8:04 PM

Not for me :o

It keeps me sane. ;)

Actually since I didn't go to Hong Kong or win that MythBusters stuff, I have money to burn..I should get over to NewEgg while there are sales on, hahah.

The Unhandled Exception

Check out dealmac.com

or dealnews.com

There's crazy, crazy hard drive deals recently

I saw a 500GB hard drive for like $34 the other day I think

Tim Stone

I'm debating, I might get an SSD for the desktop too, heh. Works well in the laptop..

The Unhandled Exception

I want an SSD for my laptop so badly

but the laptop is PATA not SATA, so, I need a new laptop first :-(

Tim Stone

Would help for work too, our program is very IO intensive..

The Unhandled Exception

I hope 2011 brings more money for me to buy hardware :-)

@TimStone Our servers have RAID10, they scream. But my workstation / laptop is due for an upgrade

We're about to upgrade to servers with SSDs (I hope)

(for the databases)

@TimStone dealmac.com/Computers/Storage-Deals-51.html

(when you're at a real computer)

Tim Stone

8:17 PM

For me, having money isn't a huge issue...it's the convincing myself to not regret the purchase part, hahah. So I tend to want a lot, get a little. Good for my bank account at least.

That one is a link for me ;)

Also, thanks!

The Unhandled Exception

Sure thing. I figure even if you have a lot of money, a good deal is still appreciated :-)

Not that I'm broke or anything, haha, I just feel a bit nervous about spending when I know I have a big move coming up

Which reminds me, I should be on craigslist not dealmac...

Tim Stone

My desktop has one 500GB WD, think it's a black caviar, but I don't remember. The HD is by far the low point in the system, so I should do something.

Hmm...green messages, boo

The Unhandled Exception

@TimStone Green messages?

@drachenstern you still here?
