Coincidence... The two sites on the top of leaderboards of StackEgg
 
user259867
SE has a curious way to select people to hire...
 
Beer.SE could do with new pro tem mods too.
Or, better still, active users.
:3258277 If drunk, then they've been in a 10 week stupor.

Uh oh. Usually the self-evaluation contains 10 questions. Whatever the criteria are, it looks like we didn't have 10 that met them. — Monica Cellio Feb 4 at 1:57

Is Beer.SE a meme yet?
 
Cya!

HAHAHAH.. I've just finished reading the last 12 hours of transcript. You guys crack me up.
BUT... have you successfully gotten a lock on triangulation yet?
 
@LynnCrumbling No, lol. We only know where Wolfram|Alpha thinks his IP address is. The only option is proper internet stalking, which has failed so far.
 
ponders
is the bot still up?

Nice try xD
@SmokeDetector tpu
 
@Mooseman Blacklisted user and registered question as true positive: added title to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'.
 
Lol here we go again.
 
Ooh, I see Martijn is going to be a mod. Nice.
 
@Bart Oh?
 
1:31 PM
@Bart Which site?
 
Now with images. And now gone.
 
@Bart I haven't even posted a nomination yet. :-P
 
@LynnCrumbling I was thinking of that last night, but I can't think of any ways to start a conversation with an IP address and no name, and end with a physical address. If we knew his name, maybe.
 
!comp nearest gardens
 
1:32 PM
It's pinned @MartijnPieters. That's pretty much a confirmation. A shoo-in at worst.
 
(none found)
 
@JasonC I thought we knew his name....
 
!comp nearest mall
 
1:33 PM
@MartijnPieters We went through this. It's on this block: google.co.uk/maps/place/Rockdale+Academy/…
 
Premium Outlets
 
!comp nearest university
 
"comp"
 
@JasonC :-D But I'm playing with it now..
 
It would be funny if we all called his ISP pretending to be bjb.
 
1:34 PM
Don't spoil my fun just yet!
 
We should start a fundraising campaign.
 
@JasonC if he speaks as he types, I'm not sure I can be convincing

!comp nearest bus stop

Shouting in the background, "Yeah guys, it's that weird cat kid again."

Are you guys using bjb's bot against him?
 
@Andy Against his privacy perhaps, but never against him.
 
@Mooseman gone
 
1:46 PM
I didn't know that I had 188 rep in tor.se
 
!comp destroy owner
I love how abusing bjb's bot has set a tavern attention span record.
 
@MartijnPieters gone
 
to create or not create an account on beer.se
 
@Braiam I only have spam with beer :p
 
1:47 PM
HA!
 
@JasonC the !comp antipode of current location / !comp antipode of <result of previous query> got it down to a building, I see.
!comp antipode of current location
 
39° 8' 24"S, 95° 29' 37"E
 
You can do:
 
!comp antipode of 39° 8' 24"S, 95° 29' 37"E
 
39° 8' 24"N, 84° 30' 23"W
 
1:55 PM
But it's a non-residential building, near that block. It was good validation for our previous guessing game though.
!comp antipode of antipode of current location
 
39° 8' 24"N, 84° 30' 23"W
 
@SmokeDetector Really...
 
@JasonC I'd say it is the other building, the apartment block with the ads fro apartments for the new academic year.
 
Are we stalking bjb?
 
2:00 PM
We're showing Martijn how to stalk bjb. It's part of the tavern's new mandatory training program.
 
@Undo We are coercing his bot to do the stalking for us.
 
@JasonC this digital program is far better than the previous one though. Two weeks in the tree in front of his house was a real pain.
 
Tell me about it. At least there are no police stations in Cincinnati.
 
So what's the bot do?
I want to get in on this malicious bot-using thing
:P
 
Queries Wolfram|Alpha
 
2:09 PM
ah
!comp ip

@Undo You can do better than that. That wasn't original
 
nmap isn't finding anything
!comp location
 
1 | noun | a point or extent in space
2 | noun | the act of putting something in a certain place
3 | noun | a determination of the place where something is
4 | noun | a workplace away from a studio at which some or all of a movie may be made
 
!comp geolocate ip
 
2:11 PM
Geo | (data not available)

... wut?
 
"International Paper" would not have been my first definition of "ip"
 
So there's no way to make it run JS?
 
!eval 1+1
apparently not

Thank god I don't run a bot

2:18 PM
I run Smokey, but he's fairly safe
:P
 
!!/revealUndo'sLocation
 
@Unihedro ... on your personal system
 
ROFL
 
Ummm
 
2:19 PM
LOL
 
@Andy starts with !!/rev
 
Ah. That makes sense then
 
My initial reaction was "wth, it replies"
 
you should use a parser instead of regex :/
 
Just about the worst thing you could do with it is commit something that spikes the CPU and then !!/pull it, and that would only work until I saw it :P
 
2:20 PM
@ProgramFOX Did you add !!/so2015?
 
I did
!!/so2015
 
@Undo Yay for the 2015 Stack Overflow Moderator Election! Nominations start in 0 days, 5 hours, 39 minutes and 28 seconds.
 
@JasonC no, Undo did
 
@Undo Way to totally ignore the comment at the top of the file :P
 
@Braiam We use startswith, so all of !!/rev, !!/rev?, !!/revision etc. work.
 
2:21 PM
@JasonC I'm an idiot :P
8
 
@Undo pizza made fun of me for it, lol.
 
Why is typing "I'm an idiot" the only way I can get stars? :/
 
One is bigger
 
!!/rev
 
@Undo It triggers the auto-star bot that everybody in here is actually running.
 
2:22 PM
eats bigger one and leaves bjb the others
 
Lol
!!/commands
 
BTW, I'm pretty sure the wolfram thing is just looking at my IP.
 
I'm pretty sure it's looking in your window.
Hey @bjb tell us how we did! How close is google.co.uk/maps/@39.1409486,-84.5064291,19z to your actual house?
 
Couple miles
 
2:25 PM
And how did I end up with a google.co.uk tab... o.O
 
!!/so2015

@bjb568 So, well within the reach of a decent nuclear weapon.

!!/commands
 
@Undo Commands: addblu, rmblu, addwlu, rmwlu, wut, lick, hats, alive, rev, status, reboot, stappit, master, clearbl, block, unblock, errorlogs, pull, help, apiquota, queuestatus, so2015, commands
 
2:26 PM
^ Suck it, @pizza
Oh looks like ProgramFOX has the wiki link in there. In that case should we just get rid of !!/commands, put the link in !!/help, and keep it all in as few places as possible?
 
I still won't remember to update it :P
 
But at least you'll just forget to update one thing instead of two.
 
@Undo I bet you could make a test that fails at the CI stage if a new command is missing the documentation
 
voted
 
2:28 PM
I'll make the change later. I think it's for the better.
@Andy The better solution would be a dictionary mapping commands to both a command handler function and an optional short description, instead of a big if block. Then it will always be up to date if !!/commands generates the list from that. But now that there's a wiki it's silly.
Hey @bjb my cat's in heat, can I hire you to come... help her out?
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@bjb568 Do they block VPNs?
 
@bjb568 Hey look everyone! A new IP address!
 
Yep
 
I have a VPN to my server ready to go for when I'm on government networks
 
2:33 PM
U hakkorz!
 
chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3258643#3258643 needs more stars than it has. Come on guys, step it up.
 
@Undo ... and you said that in public? gg
 
The day they go after me for VPNing on Govm't networks, I have other things to worry about
 
On the github site, if I want to make my fork be the same as the current, newer version of the original, do I just delete it and make a new fork? Or is there a way to merge it in?
(I want my Smokey fork to be the current version)
 
2:41 PM
Thank ye
 
np :)
 
Aw I have to actually install the command line client.
Guess it's about time though.
 
@Roombatron5000 Hrm?
 
A vote for a candidate who doesn't win isn't a wasted vote
A vote for a candidate who does win is a wasted vote :P
Depending on the weather
 
@Undo I guess you don't vote on questions either?
 
2:46 PM
er what?
I'm missing a point somewhere :P
 
I think that's an off-by-1522 error.
 
user259867
@Undo The total is low.
 
@JasonC … It doesn't come preinstalled?
 
by same user
also cv the questions, OT tool-rec
 
2:51 PM
@bjb568 Not with the GitHub desktop client.
Or if it is it's in some weird place.
I think it's sort of the same situation as TortoiseSVN; also have to install SVN separately for the traditional client.
 
@ProgramFOX added to Smokey
 
good idea
 
@Undo Yeah, but I was only in the primary, where you can't really waste a vote.
@JasonC No, it does. Just search for Git shell on your computer.
@Unihedro nevermind

@pizza Anna was elected without 20k IIRC.
@AlexisKing That's... a good presumption.

Also animuson was elected without 20k.

You have to vote for Martijn if he runs.
