Hello

We need to create a screaming room where we can just scream at people..

which is really just an all caps room

lol, ok, what's stopping us?

are the mods going to complain? honestly?

I WANT TO SCREAM AT YOU

chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/328/all-caps-room

well, it's going to be a very interesting week next week... We're shedding employees (2 quit today out of a company of 30). They didn't renew a contract after new-years. And they are eliminating another 10 positions from another office (not mine). So we'll be down to 20. I'm debating putting my resume out there...

where do you live/work?

New Jersey, and for a private company who does marketing research for pharmaceuticals...

What I fear is not getting fired, but not getting fired...

I think Tyler has flipped out

I'll find out Thursday. (But I also called the President of the company an idiot and a liar last Friday, so that might affect things)

@drachenstern Really?

oh hi Tyler

:p

lol

My company is being stupid, apparently.

@mootinator: do tell. Stupidity is in the air from how it seems...

wait, there's ever an occasion where that's not the case?

Buying domains from domain squatters.

lovely

ahhh

Offering them something like 10% less than what they want for it and thinking they were somehow clever in doing so.

bahahahaha

How do I link to a chat post?

is it a particularly good domain name?

lol

@John Click the menu arrow on the left side of the post, and use the "permalink" link

chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/328/all-caps-room

@drachenstern I don't know the specifics, but from what I gather it has next to no actual value (since nobody actually noticed the site was missing).

Some interesting stuff going on in there..

@MichaelMrozek Ok thanks!

@TylerChacha i do not think that means what you think it means

I AGREE

oops...

Ok, have a good weekend...

you out mate?

I'm going to need to do this screaming thing more often

it is fun

wow this room is boring. You people should work less...

@TylerChacha Sorry, this afternoon started to suck a lot over here

server problems, apache problems, communication problems, ARGH!

Apache problems are solved?

meh, kinda

The server I migrated Monday was apparenly still serving one website I wasn't aware it was serving

and the new Apache on there isn't compatible with our Site Palette framework system

Ah, I see.

lovely

but this site is so old, it's not compatible with the current version of Site Palette...

why do I have two clipboard buttons on the chatroom?

@drachenstern Do you have two copies of the script installed somehow?

so now I have the site's admin on one server and the publci side on another with an NFS link in between. It's a hodgepodge :-p

I hope not ...

@Josh Gah, that sounds rather unpleasant, heh.

@TimStone it is. Oh and our backup server decided to crash and now it doesn't think it has a network card. FML........

@TimStone somehow I do in fact

wtf?

so @TylerChacha I'll work less and chat more when you give me a new backup server ;-)

@Josh Oh, damn :/

@drachenstern the userscript so nice you installed it twice

I must've had an old one installed still??????????????

wtf?

@drachenstern Ah ha. Hm...I figure this doesn't happen very much, but I'll put in something to help with that.

to be sure

woot, 25 points away from close votes on dba.SE :D

<-- dork

WOW

@Josh Isn't the point of a backup server to not fail?

Nice work Cole!

because your other server failed?

@TylerChacha good to see you're as helpful as usual!

Thus you would put more effort/money into your backup server than your production server?

Sorry for the sarcastic comment. Obviously I know that @Tyler...

I didn't decide the backup server should fail...

@Josh Oh, we weren't supposed to start a ritualistic chant to provoke it to?

shakes fist at @TimStone

My bad, lemme Ctrl + Z.

it's been too much of a pain in the ass, I'm going to dump this server and replace it with FreeBSD

it has Open Solaris on it now, just not working for me

Could I pose another question about developing my area51 proposal, or am I starting to wear you all out too much?

You can't wear me as much as Windows Mobile 6 does

lol, ok

well, simply stated, I need more experienced users to commit, and I don't think there will ever be enough dermatologists with high reps until they start building those reps on the derm SE site

I can continue to bring in noobie dermatologists; that is no problem; I have not even started to really campaign for the site; but again, I need more experienced SE users to join too

with that being said, would it be appropriate to post something on meta looking for experienced users to help, maybe "looking for users with rashes"

or any other type of post

So there is Application Data, a 650 kB folder; ConnMgr, empty; Documents and Settings, one empty folder; My documents, 1.8 MB; My storage, 5 bytes; Program Files, 3 empty folders; Programmi, 2.5 MB; TomTom, 35 kB; a few random files on the root, for 1.1 MB

basically I am brainstorming here

total: 12.4 MB

right?

right?

probably not, by golly!

wait

12.4 MB is the free space on the partition

the actual total is 78.2 MB

why have a partition 90.6 MB large to begin with?!

@user10926 I think that would probably get closed

@user10926 Joel Spolsky has said it is abuse on the high rep users' side to sympathy commit

They do like the word "abuse"

ok, so I will not post that

The problem is that expert SE users are required as they have the experience to know what works and what doesn't on an SE site

hey @MichaelMrozek how do I send ^A if I'm using screen, do you know offhand?

I.E. if I have a screen within a screen, how do I control the inner screen?

                      Screen key bindings, page 1 of 3.

                       Command key:  ^A   Literal ^A:  a

thanks @radp

ctrl-a,a I guess?

exactly

Also, screen within screen is pretty much never a good idea

it wasn't intentional

or avoidable :-p

never done it before which is why I was asking

doesn't screen show a warning when you're about to nest? (I know it does in this scenario: you have two computer. byobu is your shell on both. you ssh from one to the other.)

I know byobu does

I am SSHed, oh, ok, nevermind, it is avoidable, LOL

sorry. I'm doing too much at once right now

DON'T STAR THAT!!!!

;-)

Follow best practices and panic properly

Actually, what am I think, I can't trust you people!

@badp Screen doesn't, at least by default; I've done it before too

Your forearm should form a 135° angle with your body; your hands should massage your hair nervously; your speaking should be incoherent; your eye blood vessels should be well visible and distinguishable; your feet tapping in sync with your heart.

135 out would mean you couldn't touch your head

@drachenstern when in difficulty pretend I was using square degrees

oh thank god I have a copy on my local machine

the day is saved!

\o/

@badp I was almost doing this, LOL

oh no, I don't have the mysql tables

oh well nothing was posted to those in years anyway. maybe nobody will notice they're broken...

mention something about the privacy policy data retention legalese if in trouble!

HAHAHAHA

Good call @radp

radp is offline, he kept misbehaving with his OpenID

he's in detention for a week

Alrighty. Time to go see what trouble I can cause at GiveCamp. Adios! (;

@RebeccaChernoff Try and smile in reading order, or you'll scare the kids away!

@RebeccaChernoff have fun and do good!

@RebeccaChernoff Enjoy! Spread the good word of Stack Overflow! ;)
