12:05 AM
It looked good in the webpage, but lost the font color here.
 
hm? what font color?
 
It was white (IE 8).
 
12:28 AM
i'm thinking perhaps i'm seeing something different than what you're looking at. the username and rep are both in white in the image you linked for me
 
12:43 AM
I might murder the person who invented perl
 
OK, I guess I didn't mention that I'm in chat in firefox 3.6.10, while I was on your webpage in IE 8.
So I don't see it in Firefox.
 
hmm. you're requesting the png, so browser shouldn't matter.
try refreshing shrugs
 
at first refreshing didn't do it, but after a second the white rep popped up
guess it's one of those chat bugs
 
eh, i'd probably blame it on somee over chat
 
1:01 AM
any rails devs?
 
hmm i need a color code for bronze that will work on a red background
 
2:02 AM
I just saw that Project Euler now has flair
Every site with scoring/points seems to have that now
 
i just made StackFlair epic!!
HOT DOG STAND THEME
2
 
You finished the color theme thing ?
 
themes are supported, not individual element customization.
though if someone gives me colors, i'll make a theme, takes about 2 minutes if i'm not playing around with finding a color code
 
badge colors there are meh. the red background makes it difficult ):
 
2:06 AM
M?SO icon looks wierd with that theme
 
how so?
 
almost same colour as background
it's hard to see
 
the orange in the SO favicon is harder to see than MSO for me.
 
ya, but they are both hard to see
the colour doesn't constrast much
 
is there a theme you want?
 
2:11 AM
I don't have special demand for the moment, it's already nice to have a flair for all the SE site
 
they're quick to make. a theme pretty much just needs 7 colors: border, background, name, rep, gold, silver, bronze. font and size are optional but i've kept those the same so far
 
Just take the color theme of my website :p
It's even more flashy then the hot-dog theme
It's kindda horrible, everytime I visited it, I'm saying to myself "I need to change the colour !"
 
what should i call it? (;
 
The HoLy theme
:p
 
2:31 AM
 
look ok? go ahead and publish?
 
sure
It looked better than I expected
 
(:
published!
 
Runtime Error
That's what I get atm :(
 
@HoLy: Same here.
 
i can hit the admin cp, but not stackflair.somee.com
can't wait for my new hosting, heh
 
came up for me
 
well aren't you special :P
 
2:43 AM
Yeah its working for me also.
 
 
not here ):
 
@rchern: Who is your new hosting with?
 
setting it up through a buddy. forget who it is through. >_>
stackflair.somee works for me again
 
2:53 AM
I see that your currently using network solutions. I feel your pain. I've used them before and I would not recommend them to anyone. EVER!
 
well, it is a free hosting account from somee.com. i didn't expect it to be the best, heh.
looks like 1and1
 
Oh, I've heard they are good. Never used them myself though.
 
What was the link for?
 
nothing in particular. i was just searching to figure out who the hosting will be going through and google gave me that.
 
3:03 AM
Oh, okay. I've always used the whois tool in Ubuntu under the Network Tools program.
The other users are really dropping like flies. I love the animation. ;-)
 
hehe
some whois tools just do the domain. and the domain registrar you bought the domain with isn't necessarily the hoster.
 
Does SO wish you a Happy Birthday when its your birthday?
 
I haven't been on SO long enough to know it :(
 
no

Q: Display a "Happy Birthday" message when a user logs in on their birthday

GManToday is my birthday. I was disappointed to see that when I logged on to SO I was not greeted with a "Happy Birthday" message. Can we display something (maybe through the notification bar?) when someone logs in on their birthday?

 
That really sucks!
 
3:13 AM
hehe
 
Look what I found in the revision history of the Happy Birthday question:
i.imgur.com/aOOug.png
 
hehe
I want to comment questioning it being closed as too localized
everyone has a birthday
and not just one moment in time
we have them yearly!
 
Totally agreed! I wanted to start a bounty to attract more attention, but like you said it was closed.
 
If you created your account on your birthday date, you will get a Yearling badge at every birthday
 
hmm, i wonder when i created my SO account
 
3:18 AM
Nice idea.
 
9/29/09. one more week!
and i'm 12 days away from 100 consecutive
 
For your yearling badge or bday?
 
knocks on wood
my birthday is in june (:
 
I'm missing 9 more months for my yearling :(
 
I got to 75 consecutive once and then we had a snow storm and the power was off for 2 days. I was so pissed!
 
3:20 AM
aww
I'm getting close on a few. 88 SO, 79 MSO, 79 WA, 78 PW, 77 FC
 
Oh, wow. Do you actually visit those sites each day or are you using a browser extensions that checks for your rep?
 
I do check SO/MSO/Programmer every day, it's often just a quick look
 
i have them open in tabs and ctrl-tab through (;
 
I can usually check SO and Meta everyday, but I use a Chrome extension to check superuser and others.
 
SO, MSO, and WA i'm generally good. PW doesn't really click for me though.
 
3:26 AM
PW was really nice ressource when I did the build up/launch a website recently
It was first time, I had to look more indepth the SEO for that site
 
nice
 
I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Good to know I'm not alone.
 
4:19 AM
wow, that's grammar nazi
anyway, I'm off to sleep now
 
5:13 AM
@HoLyVieRUNIONDOEVILSQL Didn't even add an 's' in there...
 
We, as a community, must be doing something wrong.

Q: How addicted to Stack Overflow are you?

Andrew MooreHow addicted to Stack Overflow are you really? I've recently realized that I'm getting really addicted to these sites (especially SO) for various reasons. I feel like I've failed myself when a day passes and I didn't reach my 200 reputation cap. (maybe that's a small exaggeration) I've build a...

 
5:32 AM
@PopularDemand ? I understand for the first question, what's the problem with the second?
 
5:47 AM
why wrong?
 
@User151569, hello, who is your question addressed to?
 
6:25 AM
@PopularDemand I feel like we're doing something wrong as a community when this is the highest voted question of the week:

Q: where can i get source code of google?

vidhihello I am making an application where i would require the google's spell check algorithm ("did you mean?" algorithm). Does anyone has any idea is the source code or algorithm of google available anywhere on net or in any book?

It got killed because a bunch of people assumed he meant the source for the search engine itself, so then people retaliated and upvoted it ridiculously
 
7:13 AM
Oops, @rchern, someone just stole your thunder...
Not sure why betas not showing on mine though...
 
 
2 hours later…
9:28 AM
morning all
 
9:53 AM
morning Mr. E
 
Jin
morning
hmm i guess i should go to bed
 
@Jin Hi Jin, what time zone are you in?
 
Jin
EST
aka New York time. 5:54am right now
 
Then it's definitely morning there :P Just the wrong half of the morning
 
morning
BST ( GMT + 1) 10:55am here :)
 
9:55 AM
@Jin ouch, time to get up for some people - you prefer the night shift?
 
Jin
i prefer both. day time is good for coding, night is good for creative design stuff since it's more quiet.
by coding, i mean css-s-ing
 
when do you sleep, or you don't?
 
Jin
sleep is over-rated!
 
or more to the point, how do you keep yourself awake :)
 
Jin
i take two 4 hour naps everyday. so it's almost a full night of sleep
and my morning nap starts now... gn :)
 
10:34 AM
@Jin sleep() considered harmful, anyway ;)
 
10:55 AM
HAH!
I love it when my blacklists pay off!

This was purely an informative message about a legitimate and serious virus that also included information about the differences in protection of various products, and how to get protection against it."
@Jin slap wrist you're in EDT!
 
@badp They've been dancing on the edge for several years now; I note the complete lack of surprise on my part.
 
@Piskvor Yeah, I also was a user back then (2002 maybe?). Then they decided they had to make a "security suite"
I remember Norton AV '97. It took 5 minutes to complete the first 99% of the scan and 3 hours for the last percent. Who knows why? :D
In other news I'm loving the current Dilbert series on the iPad
 
11:14 AM
You mean about the iPad?
 
errr.. yeah I did.
 
For a minute I thought you were reading it on the iPad, then I went and had a look and figured that's what the useless piece of wood was referring to... a bit slow, sorry :)
 
@Benjol My bad, poor English on my part
 
@badp, no, your English is astoundingly good. On is a perfectly good synonym for about in that context. It was just slightly ambiguous for me without having properly read the strip
 
Howdy all
 
11:28 AM
G'day Bruce
 
12:23 PM
oof
they really did do combined flair
):
 
@rchern I guess that does mean you had an awesome idea!
 
heh
 
Besides, their per-site flair still has a bug
It didn't update to the new favicons
 
is there more dead space in there than actual used space?
 
yep.
 
12:29 PM
And for some reason my beta accounts don't show up....
 
good morning stackheads!
 
status-norepro
are you sure your accounts are all linked?
 
ah. he at least listed the community alternatives.
 
@badp well they are on my accounts page...
 
Indeed they are.
I guess you need at least 200 rep to have accounts listed there?
 
12:31 PM
yeah, could be that
 
yeah, they won't show anything under 200 rep
also, the combined flair doesn't have themes
and all combined flair needs Hot Dog stand theme!!

@rchern yet.. I'm guessing
 
hush ):
 
btw what happened to single sign on?
It's been a week now since it's gone...
 
12:34 PM
 
dunno, haven't signed in since then...
 
what's the point in counting the number of diamonds you have?
I mean, it's either 1, 2 if you're a trilogy mod or eleventy hundred if you're in the staff
 
lol @ eleventy hundred
 
hah, I caused an error in StackFlair.
 
:O!
 
12:37 PM
I wanted to get the stackflair for Community :(
 
hahahaha
i believe that would count under the open issue github.com/rchern/StackFlair/issues#issue/6
 
12:50 PM
↑ okay, so far it's just eleventy
 
:P
hmm, GitExtensions is being bratty
 
To be fair, site stakeholders should probably not have reputation scores.
That's ripe for rep embezzlement
 
@spoulson why?
especially when you consider they're not topping the charts
 
"No supported authentication methods available"
 
@rchern Hack! Cheat! Unfair!
 
12:55 PM
o:
 
I guess my point is that as a stakeholder, having that title is quite enough. Rep isn't very relevant
 
being a mod has nothing to do with your rep
 
rep is a mod's retirement plan :P
 
When you own the mint, does it matter how much money you have?
 
You can voice your concerns and get downvoted to hell and back on meta.stackoverflow.com
 
12:57 PM
OK!!
 
owning the mint doesn't mean you can walk out with as much as you want, any time you want
(;
 
@rchern Seen the movie "Mad Money"?
 
\o/
 
@spoulson, nope!
 
Well anyway, it's not a big deal. It's just like watching General Patreaus with his billboard of badges and star trinkets on his uniform. He's a top general. That's about all you need to know. :)
 
1:00 PM
hehe
@badp, the glitter theme is so much better as .html
so it, ya know, glitters :D
 
@rchern but then I can't embed it in here :(
 
true ):
 
choices choices
 
such is life
 
You could create glitter overflow!
Then the chat would have native glitter support.
OH MY GOD IT'S FULL OF STARS

1:07 PM
oy
 
1:17 PM
I wish I could buy motivation.
 
What a coincidence!
I happen to sell motivation.
 
what... free with bridge purchase? )
 
lol
scuttles off to work
 
1:47 PM
@Benjol The second isn't a problem, I just had two separate thoughts and nobody talked in between them.
It's hard to see, but there's actually a "this is a reply" icon before the second message.
@spoulson When does he ever put the full fruit salad on? I always see him in BDUs.
 
2:04 PM
@PopularDemand, ok, I see.
Me = long weekend, over and out ;)
 
@Benjol, sorry for the confusion.
 
2:37 PM
Heyooo
That's weird, generally there are people on at this time.
 
@SergioTapia Sorry, crazy day here, I have been unable to check chat until just now
 
Everyone must be busy today.
I'm just finishing up with MSO myself for the morning.
 
@rchern thanks for the heads up! I will play with StackFlair again this afternoon/tomorrow
@PopularDemand Are you back to coding? :-)
I know I sure am...
 
@TheUnhandledException No, the customer wants even more documentation.
Including a one-page simple diagram of what I will simply call a very large service.
 
Well it's work,work,work either way
@PopularDemand LOL, fuuun.
 
2:41 PM
lol
 
Maybe after you finish their docs you could write ours! :-)
 
Documentation is always fun to do
 
@PopularDemand [Input] → [Service] → [Output]
 
I actually didn't get assigned that diagram, but I have something equally aggravating.
 
You're welcome
 
2:42 PM
@badp Thanks, but that may not strictly be accurate.
 
@TheUnhandledException, heads up about?
 
@rchern Something re: Stack Flair you said like 10 hours ago, LOL
 
@rchern I can't check out the code with SVN. get a 200 OK message (wtf)
Are you sure your repo is set to allow anyone?
 
14 hours ago, by rchern
@Fosco, @TheUnhandledException, @badp and anyone else who noticed >_> StackFlair black theme is fixed
 
ah
@Sergio, i didn't change any settings, i guess i assumed default, let me check
 
2:44 PM
thanks
 
(I've been suddenly überwhelmed with work and thus my response time has gone from "long" to "insanely long". But I will reply if you @The me!)
 
it is public...
any github pros that see anything wrong? |:
 
REPORT of '/rchern/StackFlair.git/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (svn.github.com)
I don't know what that error is and I really want to help out on the project :(
 
Anyway I'm headed off into low-opacity gravitar oblivion again... I'll catch you guys later this afternoon!
 
200 ok seems good...
 
2:47 PM
I only get a .sln file and a StackFlair.Web folder.
and a .gitignore file
 
seems like you're just not getting it recursively
 
StackFlair.Web folder is where the code is
 
There ya go. Damn, it seems like it's a known error.
 
@TheUnhandledException Sure, I have plenty of free time! I'll bill you my usual hourly rate.
(Pay no attention to my actual answer on that question, as it doesn't translate.)
 
2:51 PM
anybody else got a bouncy chat?
it keeps jumping so that the last message isn't visible and then scrolls to fix itself
 
@rchern browser?
 
@rchern I've been dealing with that ever since I switched back to FF from Chrome.
 
← Chrome 7.0.517.8; no bouncing
 
i've got the chrome dev @badp does
 
is there a cat sitting on your F11 key, madame?
 
2:54 PM
Or a bunny, or a Shetland Unicorn?
 
it isn't switching between full screen >_>
 
@badp By the way, I think you mean mlle, not mme.
 
@PopularDemand presses Ctrl-F, types mme, finds exactly one match and is as a result confused.
 
@badp Unless you know for a fact that someone's married -- and I admit that I don't know whether you do in this case -- it's more polite to go with "mademoiselle"; otherwise you're calling her old (and/or the boss of a bunch of hookers).
