I get around.

@hichris123 I think I am going to keep this one as my "main" account. Not sure yet if I want to run experiment again in a different way.

@qwertynl Sage advice, I'd say.

@ShadowWizard not really, we have no clue what happens around here, @TimPost can confirm

@ShadowWizard fix is in dev already, just not a pressing issue

Does the space get bigger when you do it more?

Shadow Wizard

@Undo oh, didn't check it yet

Undo

wonders when beta sites will show up in SEDE so that I don't hammer the API

I have a PHP script designed to take all the comments from a site off the API :P

(and yes, I respect backoff)

Nick Craver

@Undo possibly this week

Undo

Yay!

Shadow Wizard

2:13 PM

@Undo nope, same space

Nick Craver

the data is easy, just an import change, but it needs a homepage redesign since beta sites no longer have logos

Undo

huh

@NickCraver Doesn't the API return a logo?

I could have sworn it does

Shadow Wizard

@NickCraver it's a spacing issue :P

Tim Post

@Undo pretty sure that's just the favicon

@TimPost Oh, huh.

Must have been a recent change?

@sudorm-rfTelkitty we only have one dev, and it's continuously integrated

@Undo oh hey thought we stopped generating those, hang on

Shadow Wizard

@NickCraver I think telkitty thinks "in dev" literally as if a dev ate it :D

rene

@oded that is for now I assume until https is fully supported?

Oded

We force https on the login/signup page, so instead of keeping everyone on https, we would rather force back to http after the process and let people choose.

Nick Craver

@rene it'll be wherever you came from once it's supported, it'll still be optional

however, eventually all logged in traffic will be over https, hopefully - there are major hurdles

Shadow Wizard

2:38 PM

@MartijnPieters yup, tms rulz!

Laszlo Papp

Oh, right.

Martijn Pieters

Tim, Sam, Nick, Oded. And Geoff Dalgas is not even listed on the contributors graphs.

@Oded God is a DJ!

Has anyone else got one of these cool desks that can pneumatically rise up to chest height for standing at work?

Shadow Wizard

2:41 PM

@Oded lol

Duncan

@Oded I am indeed a DJ. As is my son.

Oded

@Duncan pretty much all desk @ Stack Exchange are sit/stand desks.

Shadow Wizard

@MartijnPieters probably because he never committed any changes?

Martijn Pieters

@ShadowWizard: The main page says '5 contributors'; the first commit by Geoff is indeed a merge though.

Bart

Oh man, I'd love one of those. I'm at a table that comfortably rests on my knees.

Duncan

2:42 PM

And for a brief period, I was actually a (music) DJ too.

Shadow Wizard

@Duncan wow, that's cool... DJ who is a DJ

Duncan

I was sorely tempted to be a geek and call myself "DJ squared" or something.

I resisted.

Shadow Wizard

Nothing to do with YB

@Oded Exactly. But that clashes a little with the "cool" image of a DJ.

Oded

Laszlo Papp

Q: Beta sites should be in the Data Explorer

The Stack Exchange Data Explorer is a very nice and useful tool, but it has one very large drawback: Beta sites are not included at all.

Tim Stone

@NickCraver Ah, I've just been opening it in VS 2012 anyway, I committed the compatibility changes it made to the project. But yeah, will take a look here momentarily.

Shadow Wizard

Tim Stone

The problem is that the name that's used is terrible.

This makes a lot of sense, so now it's done pending a pull and redeploy of Data Explorer.

@ShadowWizard The real problem is that there's an inconsistent use of ampersands and the word "and" in site titles.

Tim Stone

Shadow Wizard

@TimStone but when encoded to %[something]?

Tim Stone

The validation is done on the interpreted URL, which is decoded.

Martijn Pieters

@TimStone: What are the chances of being able to consolidate accounts?

Tim Stone

On Data Explorer?

Martijn Pieters

The only account that's not a Jon Doe is my MyOpenID url.

Shadow Wizard

Martijn Pieters

Which is now delegated to Stack Exchange.

But yes, on Data Explorer.

Tim Stone

3:19 PM

Data Explorer has user merging, you just have to get someone with moderator powers to do it.

Shadow Wizard

@TimStone oh, bummer... so how you're going to fix it?

You could post about it on Meta requesting it be done but there are a few pending requests already that haven't gotten resolved yet...

@NickCraver The easiest stopgap measure is probably to just update the sites table and replace & with and in Name. We could reconfigure requestPathInvalidCharacters too, but that doesn't seem as reasonable. I'm just going to fix all those URLs to use the more sane TinyName now anyway, but that will probably take a few hours between lunch/babby/testing since Name is used in a lot of places.
