So.... I take it that 'Happy Hour' is over?

122 messages deleted

I took a break from this room because I felt that I had become more of a problem for it than an asset to it.

...I may have been mistaken in this.

None the less, I'm still taking a break, and so are others.

Have a good weekend y'all!

Luckily nothing much had happened while there was nobody around who could kick

@Shog9 huh? You deleted all recent messages from Journeyman and Sonic? Why?

@JohnDvorak Journeyman is RO he can kick.

Hi!

@ShadowWizard ... it got heated, and well, not productive.

@Shog9 honestly that's not a good reason to stay away... E.g. parents don't take a break from educating their children. :)

and I decided I needed a (short) break?

@ShadowWizard its called "dumping the kids with the grandparents so we can get some us time" ;p

@JourneymanGeek you usually take a step back long before it reach such stage. What was different this time?

@ShadowWizard Well, stuff.

No grandparents in this timeline, for one

Would be useful I guess. Also I think if my kid backassed me like that, I'd be serious.

All your grandparents are belong to us

@JourneymanGeek this makes you and @rene Shog's parents... How weird to imagine that. LOL

"The tavern on the meta family tree. By which we mean a map of the london underground"

- by serious "Kiddo, I set a password and FDE on your system. You can wait a month, or break into it. Have fun!"

Well, maybe I will ask more in a month when Sonic will be back... Until then guess this room won't have much more drama. :)

That's a positive step IMO ;)

And see another bright side: we learned how to lure Shog back into the Tavern! :D

;p

(cost is chat ban but... ;))

I'd rather we go back to "This is a fun, positive place to be in" as a way to do it ;)

Don't forget an important use of the place is as an informal, non work place for SE employees to hang out with us plebians ;)

@JourneymanGeek think it still usually is.

@ShadowWizard well more so, lol. We have a lot of good folks here

All the discussions with @Tink for example are fun. :)

lol ya

And @Nog adds lots of shine to the room.

snort

-10 points for whatever house @ShadowWizard is in for bad punnery!

Buh never remembered any except the first. ;)

Talking about movies... Anyone ever heard of this one?

newp

Password class?

p.scramble();

nope=newp

Haha I know. :p

@ShadowWizard not yet, though I thought it'd be another Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Lol

Bear mounts can't not be mentioned

@JourneymanGeek Why snort?

@NogShine terrible pun

Morning ! Well ... That was an easy transcript to catch up with :D

@ShadowWizard Yay, compliments before I'm even up :P

@JourneymanGeek :|

@Tinkeringbell GOOD MORNING! I WAITED TILL YOU WERE ALMOST AWAKE!

@JourneymanGeek now you're too late. I'm already super awake, that's why I'm getting out of bed XD

@JourneymanGeek Reminds me of a squirrel who chats lol

@Tinkeringbell easy! ;)

I didn't even sleep in that long :P

I am going to regret this am I not? I just allowed my youngest brother to borrow my expensive headphones...

@Tinkeringbell yes. Consider them gone.

But that opens a shopping opportunity ...

True, shopping is good :P

(for headphones, at least)

@rene or sold

buying headphones for $5 from @Tinker's brother in eBay

0_0

More likely lost lol

@Tinkeringbell define expensive though

ebay.com/itm/… these are my expensive pair. They're also irreplacable cause they don't make the model, nor is there an updated model any more ._.

@JourneymanGeek Yep, in that range mine are too

I wouldn't lend that lol

Its my precious

Yeah well... Otherwise the poor thing would be on a train for three hours without music...

I didn't have anything cheaper to lend him

@ShadowWizard you take that back!

@Bart OI! YOU RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!

NO U

I don't resemble bart. My glasses might ;p

LOUD NOISES

GOOD MORNING @Magisch

I just woke up from a fever and shivers induced afternoon nap

... my condolences.

Do try to get better. Feeling ill sucks

cv-plz meta.stackexchange.com/questions/316396/…

also amusingly, that got fixed up by Peter Mortensen .-.

@JourneymanGeek Been there, done that :)

@Magisch get well soon

Already better then yesterday

triple dose antibiotics doing serious work

@Bart only if change your name! ;)

@Magisch whoa... Hope doctor approve? Too much sounds risky.

ya

doctor ordered

Good... :)

time for coffee with tiny dark Toblerone

@ShadowWizard I bungled going to the doc earlier (should have went on tuesday instead of thursday)

So I caught a secondary infection

Huh. Hope you learned your lesson then... :)

If I had a question like "Does anyone here maybe have some Selenium IDE experience and have a few minutes to help me figure something out", would that be appropriate for this room?

@NotThatGuy It's a tool used for progamming. Sounds like an SO question to me.

@MartinJames Yeah, but I'm still at the "I have no idea what I'm doing" phase (except that I have already managed to hack together at least one working script), so that probably won't fly on SO. It's somewhere between Selenium and CSS and it's about interacting with a website I didn't write, so I wouldn't even know what to post, really.

@NotThatGuy sure. Just don't build your hopes too high to get help here and you won't be disappointed. :)

@NotThatGuy There is an 'HTML / CSS / WebDesign' chatroom - maybe check out their rules and them maybe ask there?

Oh, I'll see, thanks.

I think the underlying problem is that I'm trying to use a testing framework to write a bot.

It just isn't that well-suited to even doing as something as simple as a loop.

@NotThatGuy I've used Selenium (ONCE). It's a kind of thingy that records where you clicks, and then confirms that certain page elements are there.

I definitely wouldn't use it to write a bot.

You can use it to test the bot ;)

It's a really simple bot though. It just clicks a button, checks if something exists, then clicks another button, and repeat. That would be fine if I didn't have to do the "and repeat" part, because there are only assertions for checking if something exists, no if statements, which means the script fails instead of continuing.

In pseudo-code it would just be click(A); while (true) if (exists(B)) click(C);

Eating KFC for Saturday's dinner is almost a habit now...

I eat burgers on the weekend, and pizza in the week - healthy living for the win.

... but also muesli and fruit and fish and lots of water, so it'll probably take a while to kill me.

@SmokeDetector here let me help: reddit.com/r/CanadianMOMs

@Somewhat You need professional help, KFC is a class A fast 'food': check yourself into rehab.

@NotThatGuy sounds like a good diet. Who recommended it? ;)

@Magisch Get well soon

@ShadowWizard It was that guy over there. Not that guy.
