Don't tempt me with brown, @Shog9. Don't do it. Also, I don't want to have to go to the store to get this "head cheese" you speak of.

Shog9

12:02 AM

@jadarnel27 yeah you do. I'll bet you need some rye bread anyway

and with that, I'm gonna go get some beer & a burger

jadarnel27

Well...you're right about that.

Damn it, I really am hungry now.

I lost the link and registered stackapps page, so please excuse:

hichris123

@ManofSnow Hmm?

Man of Snow

@hichris123 OAuth stuff, lost the page I already made so had to re-create it with icon URL

hichris123

Oh, okay.

Doorknob of Snow

hmmm, I want to try to make a logo too. :P

Man of Snow

I'm posting a meta question

If you make chat window small and refresh page (or don't), you can't see your text if you type a lot

Doorknob of Snow

1:37 AM

a quick first attempt:

not very good since I threw it together really quickly :P

Man of Snow

Maybe...

It seems pretty good

Don't know how you made it :P

Doorknob of Snow

I used paint.NET

Man of Snow

I know :P

Doorknob of Snow

Clouds -> Displacement -> Typing a C -> Blend mode: overlay -> Merge -> Relief

pretty easy :P

Man of Snow

I use photoshop tutorials sometimes, and they just experiment the options, they don't know what they're talking about :P

Q: Can't efficiently post chat messages when window is small

I was just working on my project while chat messaging, and I wasn't able to see what I typed! The hidden text is 'ur text if you typed a lot'. You can see the rest here (posted): This can be pretty easily solved by allowing the user to make the textarea smaller than 540px. However, I would ...

Not one of my best questions :P (posted just now)

Man of Snow

1:46 AM

I have meta questions I can ask whenever, I just like to post them sometimes because I'm not sure if they're "good", like whether American english should be the preferred type for posting questions rather than UK english, like "realise" instead of "realize"

jmac

The first one was definitely better.

Doorknob of Snow

I'm going to go eat dinner, brb

Man of Snow

I wonder if I should post this issue: transparent background in images turns black if you add an 'l' (for large). Large is the default, so it shouldn't be an issue, though

jmac

Screw you company filter. First you block Google Images, then you block Wikimedia Commons, now you block compfight.com? Why do you taunt me so!

This wikipedia page has some awesome images of Charcoal. Maybe some of them are freely licensed without attribution and can be used for the logo.

hichris123

@jmac I'm going to laugh when they block SE. :P

Man of Snow

1:50 AM

Haha I changed the title of my post to 'Text areas and full alpha madness' :P

jmac

@hichris123 It is semi-blocked, but I can click 'ok' to access it. The issue is that I create presentations and rely heavily on CC images, for which compfight is a great source, since we lack good stock image contracts.

hichris123

@jmac Someone dares block SE? brings out site hammer this time

Man of Snow

@hichris123 Do you have the worthiness to wield the hammer?

jmac

@hichris123 They block tons of stuff and don't manage the filter themselves. Which is idiocy. There is a message that pops up telling you how to get stuff unblocked. So I used to actually try to get stuff unblocked (100% work related). What did they do? Told me how to bypass the web filter for that site since they didn't want to deal with the third-party company that maintains the filter.

hichris123

@jmac So basically it's just an annoyance, not a block... sad.

@ManofSnow I do.

Man of Snow

1:56 AM

@hichris123 I can't even lift the hammer :P

jmac

Yes. Chat.stackoverflow is blocked as 'web mail', but this one isn't. Silliness.

hichris123

I wish I had a real mod hammer... :)

Man of Snow

@hichris123 I was actually thinking of a Mjölnir

animuson

jmac

@ani, do you have universal mod powers? Or just on SO/MSO?

animuson

2:00 AM

Just SO/MSO. I'm not a CM.

hichris123

@jmac SO+MSO+chat.SE

animuson

Even though people keep thinking I am.

jmac

Though, separately, this comment thread is absurdly unnecessary and totally verboten by the concept of SE in general. Should I flag all messages? Just flag one with an 'other' flag?

And who other than my site mods can actually handle it?

hichris123

@animuson That's a complement. :P

jmac

I didn't know it was only CMs who have the universal powers. I thought some mods had a bit more power across the sites too if based on the biggies (SO/MSO). I guess I was wrong!

animuson

2:03 AM

@jmac If you get enough people to flag them all, they'll be automatically deleted.

I don't remember what the deletion threshold is, though.

jmac

It's too late to get flags at this point...

hichris123

@jmac Why?

jmac

Most of our users are on until 5pm EST or so at the latest.

animuson

@jmac Some of the SU/SF mods have mod powers on MSO, but that's about as "universal" as it gets.

jmac

We have a handful of users in Europe, but everyone else is generally in the US and doesn't come on in the evenings much

hichris123

2:05 AM

@animuson You're going to be so sad when the mSO/mSE split happens and you're not a mod on mSE. :P

jmac

So I pull down the graveyard shift.

animuson

The Workplace is my next highest-rep site below SO. :)

jmac

Really?

Very true. Scary-like.

I've even answered your questions. Wow. I should have realized it.

Charcoal logo idea #3:

Man of Snow

That's (almost) the sugar!

jmac

I really like that one.

Man of Snow

@jmac He probably pressed two buttons considering he used paint.net

jmac

You going to round the corners iOS-style, and add some nice glare-esque gradient?

Man of Snow

2:14 AM

No

Don't

iOS auto rounds the corners

They used to auto add the glare, but not anymore (with iOS7)

Doorknob of Snow

@ManofSnow Random Shape Fill -> Brightness/Contrast -> Text -> Negation -> Overlay -> Flatten ;)

jmac

I did not know that. I have become more educated on things I don't really much worry about.

Man of Snow

Also, there's a simple thing you can do on sites for it to look iOSish

@jmac I would know, I'm an iOS developer with 3 apps in the App Store

jmac

I would drop the transparency on the text down a few notches so the C appears more solid.

Man of Snow

@jmac I don't think so

jmac

2:16 AM

@ManofSnow You should totally drop that and try jQuery.

Man of Snow

2:24 AM

Random white things around the 'C'

jmac

I really think the C needs to be whiter.

Man of Snow

What is that?

Doorknob of Snow

I tried to make it a bit rougher but it made it look weird

jmac

The grey in the bottom-left section of the C needs to be fixed.

Doorknob of Snow

ok, anyway, I'll do more logoishness later; have to work on essay

jmac

2:25 AM

It bleeds in to the C too much and doesn't look like the C is stacked because of the grey-white grey-black illusion

which is bad.
