well, at least IE8 does support localStorage -- an HTML5 feature, no less. Should be grateful for that :)

Hey, any wordpress experts in here?

Nope, they're all at wordpress.stackexchange.com

(:

I'm very excited for this weekend. I'm going to start on my Note taking application

what do you call 100 wordpress experts at the bottom of the sea?

Bad Programmers?

a good start!

I don't get it...

@rchern Awesome thanks :-)

I'm flagging your messages as unfunny..

Maybe I should make a new channel called 'Unfunny Messages' and migrate them there..

@balpha How do I acknowledge mentions in other rooms?

@Chacha102 A gold star I give to you!

@badp click the room name

Thank you.

@balpha When will I be able to kick people from my channel?

I saw a tweet I liked the other day...

"How many SEO copywriters does it take to change a lightbulb, light bulb, bulb, lamp, light, eco-bulb, bulbs.."

lol

@rchern !! that's great :)

THAT is how you be funny..

1,640 people caught on the joke just on Twitter.

Heh

@Chacha102 When IE6 freezes over

@Chacha102 Have you seriously never heard that joke, with Lawyers instead of wordpress experts?... Maybe we should re-open the "Under a Rock" chat room and migrate you back there.

@balpha I'll hold you to that. As soon as IE6 becomes obsolete I expect a kick ability..

@balpha You mean hourly?

Oh wait, IE6 is already obsolete

This one was the original.

oy

Ok, I'll be back later

Don't ruin my counters with your laptops..

Um, what?

(We're in a Tavern....)

→ 1 messages have been migrated to 'Unfunny Messages'

@Fosco Here, have a → for extra realism

@Fosco ZING!

You are in a Tavern. You see: Chacha102's counters.

Popular demand is east, west, south and north.

give beer to Chacha102

@badp Are you calling me fat?

@PopularDemand No, I'm calling you crowd-sourced.

It is on like Donkey Kong, @badp.

Eh, I lack the motivation to participate in this argument.

99% done applying to grad school....

Besides I only have 33 days to see the 10k tools in action, before 10k rep is required to use the 10k tools.

@PopularDemand Almost there!

I wish everyone a great holiday weekend, where applicable.

@Fosco I have to work tomorrow. But it could be worse; some of my co-workers are being called back Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

"Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance", cool page... :O

@Fosco Thanks, same to you!

@mmyers sorry to hear that..

@Fosco You headed out?

@badp Wait, what?

@Josh yeah it's about that time.. 430 and I bolt for the door.

@mmyers :-( I'll hop in here and keep you company :-)

see @mmyers, even with autocomplete, people can misspell your name :)

oops

@balpha LOL

autocomplete is optional! :)

@Fosco You have a nice weekend too.

@rnrnyers

Too bad @Focso left before I could post the answer to the /me question :-)

I'm 80% done composing it

yes, @rchem, we should totally fix that ;)

'zactly!

@balpha Yeah, I noticed that about 45 minutes ago.

Hmm, is this right:

odata.stackexchange.com/superuser/s/335/…

Seems not, never mind... :-(

This is insane

zomg xD

«"You are perfect player!"»

OK, to anyone following the /me discussion:

/me ducks the beer thrown at him

@Josh, got a screenshot to go with that?

@rchern Coming right up

very crude, but

@Josh I am busy looking up your address

/me notices a pattern with @Diago

@Diago LOL. It's 123 Fake Street, Springfield, MA, 01234

> javascript:var meRe=/^\/me .*$/;var doMe=function(){$('div.message').each(function(){ var c=$(this).find('div.content');if(c.length&&meRe.test(c[0].innerHTML)){ c=c[0];var a=c.innerHTML.substr(3); uc=$($(c).parents('div.user-container')[0]); uc.after('<div class="'+uc[0].className+'"></div>'); uc.find('div.signature').clone().appendTo(uc.next()); uc.next().append('<div class="message">'+a+'</div>'); $(c).remove(); found=c; }})};window.setInterval(doMe,100);

there, that's better :p

It's quite crude indeed.

@badp It's CW, feel free to improve it :-)

I meant of the output, not the input.

I knows, I knows.

@Josh Look out for the incoming /me bat :P

that's what you get for 15-20 min of work :-)

@rchern What pattern?

@balpha Damn, beat me to it!

I just finished uploading

@badp I'm also a Prototype guy, not a jQuery guy

/me hides under a table

<ot>In case you are interested, Skype 5.0 Beta 2</ot>

@Diago, looking up people's addresses so you can threaten and beat them (;

@rchern Hey I think this is the first thing I did to get @Diago to threaten me -- normally he and I get along quite well :-)

He has threatened me too. ):

@rchern It actually depends on the amount of alcohol I had before I log on. But I am actually quite a friendly and peaceful guy if you get to know me.

time for the long weekend to start!

bye!

It's the latter that some may find a bit difficult

@Diago, I was just teasing (:

@rchern I know :) Enjoy your weekend.

@josh I've edited it so it always shows the small version of the signature

@balpha Awesome!

You did that so quickly

I am impressed

I kinda know the DOM of this chat :)

I forget I'm surrounded by geniuses :-D

@balpha It's really nice

I work with many DOM designs and this one is very well done (IMO)

@rchern See you later (If I'm not too late)

okay, have a good one, all

I didn't realize that the % on CW posts show the percent of chars each user has contributed, that's cool

I thought if I posted something and @balpha edited it, it was 50% me, 50% him

not chars, lines

ahhh

@balpha Nite

@Shog9 ahh

unfortunately, that means editing a CW post rife with typos ends up attributing all or most of it to the editor

actually that's a shame, as my CW post which @balpha edited is a one-liner, so I'll always be 90%? That's not fair :-)

@Shog9 Ah, another good (bad) point

@Josh oh, i can fix that...

@Shog9 oh? :-)

if it doesn't stay as a one-liner it might be harder to bookmark

Cool, inline tag editing

oh right, just a 10k ability :(

@badp I was happy to reach 3k on SO this week. 10k will probably take me another 3 years, heh

@Josh I only reached 2k on Gaming.SE, which is enough to unlock the 10k tools during the beta.

@badp I'll be lucky to reach 1k there

In 33 days the bar goes back up to 10k, so I'm enjoying the ride till I can :D

(I'm at 2.4k and stationary on SO)

I hope to be an active participant, but I'm not very knowledgeable

(about video games)

I can't reach 10k even when I sum up all my 14 reputations scores together :D

I reach around 30k combined..

or 27k

somewhere around there..

@badp Me neither -- 6749

6 accounts

@Chacha102 nice!

16.7k on So, 11k on Meta = 27.7k total

@Josh Area51 sez 8,862 •0 •10 •105 -- but 1,300 of that is just linking bonuses

@Josh There. No more 90%...

/me laughs maniacally

@Shog9 Nice work!

Now you'll get the blame for my monstrosity, HAR HAR!

Ha, I love the comments: @name So Do Me

I always prefix my SO userscripts with SO you see...

playing off my var doMe = function ()

@Shog9 haha, I didn't even get that part, that's even better

You made it really elegant @Shog9, makes me want to use jQuery more often :-)

JavaScript is good fun

@Shog9 Yeah, I learned Ruby on Rails and that introduced me to Prototype, and that changed my whole view of JavaScript

I used to hate it before then

Now, my company's main product has 246,595 lines of JS code :-)

:-D

/me removes So Do Me as Chrome doesn't attempt to autoupdate greasemonkey scripts.

Ah, found a bug :-)

ah?

You've gotta say something else otherwise it leaves a lingering gray box

/me points to @badp's post

Yeah.

I could fix that pretty easily, if I wasn't truing to fix an issue for my buxiness :-)

Maybe this weekend

before I start on XMPP

which is daunting :-)

my VPN connection just dropped off, so i might as well

@Shog9 thanks for the edits and have a great evening/weekend/whatever!

you too

Too bad @devinb's not here to see soDoMe() :-)

where can I see how many people are in here?

The user list is thataway →

@JoePhillips The grayed out users have been inactive for... someone correct me... at least 5 minutes, I think?

@Josh The first grayed out user talked 48m ago (The one after shog9, who talked 11m ago)

@JoePhillips And you can use the graphs on the chat home page to see when the room is likely to be hopping

@badp When do they first go gray?

cool

Well, they fade away rather than become gray

I think they reach minimum opacity at 1h idle time

Ahhhh

Indeed

rchern was last active 45 mins ago and has 0.304054 opacity

Greg was last active 4 hours ago and has 0.15 opacity

and it doesn't get any lower than 0.15

Have I mentioned recently that this chat system is awesome? :-)

whereas even a few seconds of idle time give you 0.999999 opacity

@Josh can't say it enough number of times

Interestingly enough, the "Other rooms you're in" feature uses text colour instead of opacity.

I guess that's because it's friendlier with some browsers.

Well folks it's about time for me to pack up and head for the hills

@Josh have fun

Watch out. They have eyes

@JoePhillips I'm hoping they also have beer :-D

@Sathya Thanks :-)

stock up just in case :P @Josh

have a great night/weekend everyone, and a great long weekend to those celebrating work by playing all day Monday! :-)

speaking of beer... I wish the homebrew site in area51 was more popular
