9:01 AM

I've looked into a couple, I like Collabtive, but it'd be nice if there was bug tracking.

Yeah, I remember when I was looking for something similar it was difficult to find something that did both project management and bug tracking well in the same integrated package.

I guess I really just need a couple of editable lists. I should just write my own.

You mean "todo.txt" isn't the bleeding edge of project management?

@MarcGravell Even that's probably better than the amount of stuff I foolishly try and store in my head. ;)

so far the most advanced thing I've ever used was a perl script that gave me a list of occurrences of "//todo:" in a directory tree

9:13 AM

not everything I need todo is code...

lol

You mean we won't start seeing your shopping list popping up in the chat code?

no, but I do quite regularly post the odd hg status

Heheh :)

sadly not a joke :(

9:16 AM

If it makes you feel better, there are plenty of obscure comments in my source code, heh. I'm surprised no one has noticed by now..

In on place I actually had to add a txt file just to explain how complex a section of code was, and things not to do... maybe that was a bad sign of too much complexity.

Better than not explaining though. :P

The code was a rules-engine that compiled itself from an external database via several intermediate translations, then used itself to load its own data, serialized that data to a file...

...so that it could then be used offline and hot-loaded/unloaded as the underlying data changed. Crazy complex.

Yeah, that does seem a bit...involved, heh.

And straight after that project, I left...

Jeff's siren call was too alluring.

9:22 AM

Hahah

Now I'm having mental images of Jeff as a singing mermaid beckoning you to SO shakes head

Well, the hotel did have a pool. But what happens in NYC stays in NYC...

The things Rovio has seen...

@MarcGravell Thanks -- I no longer get logged out every other second on chat.SE

although it mainly stopped after I switched to Chromium on Ubuntu.

I haven't tried again with Chrome on Windows.

hmmm... really? with xmas pretty-much wiping out the last week I haven't changed much...

Did you wave your hand at it magic-like? I find that helps sometimes.

(I also haven't been logged out in some time, hooray)

9:37 AM

I tried ignoring it for a few days. And I rebooted.

but wait... I don't have the symptoms ;p

Seriously, I just don't get logged out. Ever. And no special "Marc" code.

I didn't have it happen for the longest time (and was content with just assuming there was special anti-@RebeccaChernoff code in there somewhere)...not sure what changed, heh, but I'm cool with just assuming it's somehow fixed now that it doesn't appear to be acting up any more. ;)

@MarcGravell All that raw power and not even using it to your advantage? :)

hehe indeed. Now that the SO web-farm has moved to NY, we are over-spec back in OR (where chat lives). Waffles is doing his best to eat up the spare clock-cycles, though.

Hooray SEDE \o/

10:12 AM

Happy new year all!

'Ello @balpha, happy new year to you as well!

audio.stackexchange.com

↑ a SE I didn't know about.

dammit! we tried to keep you away from there! sheesh...

Happy new year indeed balpha; you workin' today? Or just passing by?

@MarcGravell You won't stop me! goes ask, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, was it a pine tree?"

only try to realize the truth: there is no tree

10:24 AM

i just ate a pack of bacon.

I'm bacon! I'm bacon! .... I'm bacon!

@MarcGravell O_O

@MarcGravell i actually have 2 "My First Bacon" now. The in-laws got me one for Xmas

@radp i had seen that one before, i really liked it ........... (is talking about audio.stackexchange.com)

I guess technically, my second My First Bacon is really my My Second Bacon

10:26 AM

For those wondering what the "I'm bacon" was about:

oh its that stoner comics thing right

...oh, I see. An application of that one important truth.

to find teh cheezburger I must be teh cheezburger

(see the relevant lolcat posted by @balpha in the starred list. My connection sucks far too much to hunt for that one image)

@radp can you confirm if you have Dejavu Sans Mono on your OS?

@Jin Yes.

i think this is the origin of it :

user image

10:29 AM

@radp it comes with most unix/linux systems right?

@radp there's a joke there somewhere about a Buddhist and a hot-dog stand

@Jin In my limited experience -- yes.

Why don't you ask on Unix about fonts distros usually ship with? :)

@radp i usually ask on Yahoo Answers

@Jin don't make me /kick you!

I'd be pretty surprised if any (normal) distro doesn't ship dejavu

10:31 AM

(waves impotent /kick)

smirks

ok that animated gif of me stroking a piece of bacon was disturbing me

2

that was you ? :D

@Jin I'll go hunting for it in the cache now.

thank the maker it wasn't "my first sausage". I guess marketing and legal saw sense on that one.

10:33 AM

@MarcGravell or "my first rooster"

"and here we have Jin stroking a massive black c..."

(the end of that sentence is obviously "hicken")

You know, in theory it should be possible for GM or something to monitor the stream of messages for deletions, and 'restore' them. Hmmm...

Yay for about:cache.

@radp now you're gonna blackmail me with that gif when i run for president later aren't you?

how @jzy works, in animated gif form http://i.imgur.com/QBu9x.gif

@Jin Actually that'd win you the preference of the 105% of the population.

@balpha Hang on, Twitter profiles are supported in oneboxes?

Give or take 80% -- you know how scientific those political "polls" get.

@YiJiang yes

Still, bacon is pretty high in the country's priority list.

to not like Bacon is un-American.

10:37 AM

Also (gasp) S[OFU] actually uses a serif font somewhere!?

I have to see that again

@codinghorror, Bay Area, CA

Is it more interesting to talk about software than it is to develop software?

@YiJiang Oh noes!

Yup Georgia,Serif My god! I'm not dreaming!

i just bought a serif font this weekend

@Reno I so want to flag this message.

@Reno Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

@radp It is incredibly offensive, yes :|

insta win how did you do that

@Reno badp@delta:/$ figlet NEED MOAR BOLD

10:43 AM

@Reno There a Unix command to do that, but I can't quite remember what it's called...

Ah, yes. figlet

(I did hand moar enbolden the "moar" bit though.)

@Reno pastebin.com/Y54hP8bX

Seems like I forgot to install it:

The program 'figlet' can be found in the following packages:
 * toilet
 * figlet

Now I'm intrigued what toilet does. Hmmmmm....

> TOIlet prints text using large characters made of smaller characters. It is similar in many ways to FIGlet with additional features such as Unicode handling, colour fonts, filters and various export formats.

toilet - display large colourful characters in text mode

@YiJiang It probably accepts a width parameter.

@radp It does, but somehow that doesn't seem to work

we should sandbox this

At $7,398.18 for the Kindle only, it's a bargain!

i hope the give kindle free

and some nuclear materials too

@radp I love the --gay parameter

Can it create HTML?

@Pekka It can, although I'd expect the output to be filled with font and stuff

@Pekka i updated the unix meta post btw

@Jin I don't know - I actually prefer the original

11:21 AM

@YiJiang i liked it better too, but it's too close to O'rly

maybe i shouldn't include any mascots.

@Pekka Well, it's not using font, but it does come pretty darn close. This is what one letter looks like:

<span style="">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</span><br />

Sad that publicist is a once-off badge :(

I posted that 1-1000 question on proggit last night; it now has 40k+ views

@marcog Heh, congrats :P Gold badges are not easy to get, ya know

Even if it's one-off like this

@YiJiang thanks :)

11:38 AM

@Jin imgur seems to be down (or is it just me?)

@Pekka Yes.

Ah, it's back

@Jin I likes it! I did like the O'Reillyesque penguin, but I can understand the reasons for not using it after all.

finally jimmy wales got his 13 mil

@Pekka dl.dropbox.com/u/1164414/Ubuntu/toilet.html

@radp wow, nice!!!

11:40 AM

@radp Missing background-color there, yo

@YiJiang toilet OMG UNICORNS --gay -E html --font big > ~/Dropbox/Public/Ubuntu/toilet.html

@radp can i get the ANSI version of that?

@Pekka cool. i'm working on the css conversion now. aiming to get the site launched early this week.

@Jin I'm sorry?

@radp ANSI gfx

you mean text-only?

11:42 AM

no. ANSI

ANSI art is a computer artform that was widely used at one time on BBSes. It is similar to ASCII art, but constructed from a larger set of 256 letters, numbers, and symbols — all codes found in IBM code page 437, often referred to as extended ASCII and used in MS-DOS and Unix environments. ANSI art also contains special ANSI escape sequences that color text with the 16 foreground and 8 background colours offered by ANSI.SYS, an MS-DOS device driver loosely based upon the ANSI X3.64 standard for text terminals. Some ANSI artists take advantage of the cursor control sequences within ANS...

okay

blindly runs toilet OMG UNICORNS --gay -E ansi --font big > ~/Dropbox/Public/Ubuntu/toilet.ansi and hopes for the best.

Cool, I just noticed I'm 7 upvotes away from a bronze [discussion] badge here

I got the class bronze badge on SO a few days ago. Just goes to show what a classy guy I am

Q: Typo/bug: "1 Questions" on user page

On my SO user page I see the heading "1 Questions". I am aware that this is an edge case but a bug nonetheless. Update: At least it's consistent with Meta :)

I'm sure Jeff still has that giant S lying around somewhere...

Uh oh, hahah.

That stuff bothers me too, but apparently not nearly as much as bringing it up bothers Jeff.

2

Of course, I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I had as much other more consequential development work to do. :P

Apparently he does have that giant S lying around. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/73776/…

:D

Oh, good eyes on the person who answered, I didn't even notice that

I love fixing errors like this. Because they are easy and I suck at fixing hard errors.

12:48 PM

Morning all

1:13 PM

Morning!

Hmmm... I just finished that tiny GM script that can see undead messages

Or rather, it records all messages that appear here, then restores them if it gets removed

1:25 PM

I'm curious, is anyone else intereted in this? @TimStone, @RebeccaChernoff?

@YiJiang What can this be used for, other than some kind of blackmail?

@spoulson Meh, just thought it might be possible, and indeed it was. Although @RebeccaChernoff was complaining about people pinging her then deleting those messages

This won't help that though

1:51 PM

Good Morning 2011

1 more year to the end of the world

Finally made it onto stackathlon.appspot.com after hitting 1K on Server Fault yesterday.

Good morning

@ChrisF What's what? My work blocks the site as "Suspicious". :/

@spoulson Heh! It's a site written by Dennis Williamson (stackoverflow.com/users/26428) using the API that lists all users with more than 1K on SO, SF and SU.

2:00 PM

What a nice site!

I love the font.

@ChrisF Grats!

I was hoping to get on there when I was the only 10K+ user on both SU and SO but I don't answer enough questions on SF (for the obvious reason I'm not a sys admin!)

@Fosco Cheers. I'm happy now & can stop worrying about my rep on SF ;)

Q: Correct spelling for program (UK, Australian english)

I mostly have exposure to American english online. I am currently writing out a resume and need some help. In Australia, in general, we say programme to mean a schedule or something like community programme. however with computer studies i'm inclined to take to the spelling of 'program' to mean...

career spelling

As there's no one else active in the Teachers Lounge - should I migrate this to English?

@ChrisF I'm still trying to trick chat into realizing I'm logged in

Still having problems?

It shows you in the room but inactive (faded).

/users/chat-stackexchange-login has started telling me I'm "already logged in". Apparently they realized I was using that to get around the problem and modified it to no longer work

2:06 PM

@ChrisF I suspect it'll be a duplicate on english - let me look and see

I'm never sure whether that means you're still viewing the room or not or just have been in recently.

This looks like it belongs on English

@Benjol Cheers - I was thinking that myself actually.

Regarding getting 1K on SF - you know all those questions about getting privileges notifications apparently too early? Well I still haven't had one on SF! (Not that I need to know what abilities have just been granted to me, but I thought it ironic.

@radp You don't have to prove it. I'll take your word.

(Actually, every time I post a bad pun of the day, that's the expected reaction.)

Well, in practice this means more of the same /blame @rchern business, so nothing should change here.

@radp Oh, she actually is working there? I thought we were joking about that

@radp If I had DB access I would probably do that :)

@MichaelMrozek notes down @MichaelMrozek doesn't have this feature apparently, hence it must be opt-in.

someday, Pekka will trademark his whoosh head motion.

Speaking of which, I'll need @RebeccaChernoff to hook me up with DB access

Or did I totally make that up

@MichaelMrozek Maybe quote it from on on chat.SE, then quote here your Sandbox quote.

@MichaelMrozek yes, but that doesn't work cross-site

@radp I think I'll live with manually posting it :)

@MichaelMrozek I'll just star the original message to mess with people :P

the hassle of cross-site permission checking isn't worth it

@balpha And all this time I thought the laziness was a feature :)

Is @RebeccaChernoff in the NY office? I'm going to need to borrow the Rovio

Laziness is a feature. The less you work, the more rovio driving you can do

which is clearly more important

+1 @balpha and no rovio for you @MichaelMrozek

I updated the stackoverflowva list, for the 0 people here who care.

3:13 PM

SOIS is going to be so embarassed when they finally realize @RebeccaChernoff is just my sockpuppet, and nobody is showing up to work today

Not even I care about it, since I just follow these people anyway.

@MichaelMrozek That means you can never be hired, since your sockpuppet is already at SOIS, right?

@radp It means I'm already hired, but don't have to bother with silliness like actually accomplishing anything

The @balpha strategy, apparently

Now I see why rchern was all bothered by my feature request posts -- she knew she'd have to work on them shortly.

[Jeff, Joel, rchern, Zypher, rchern, balpha, rchern, rchern, Marc, rchern, Emily, rchern, Nick, rchern, ...]

@balpha Tosh... why would we need something that fancy when the one we have works, and more importantly, is properly balanced, like @radp says

By the way, it is January 3rd today.

@radp Yeah, where is that graphics design proposal launching? Also, the OSS advertisement question?

The elections? The domain names? The thingadongdongs?
