@MichaelMrozek Hahahahah

Michael Mrozek

@drachenstern He should've talked to this guy

drachenstern

@MichaelMrozek you should flip over to the tavern ;)

Popular Demand

@MichaelMrozek Finally. I was wondering if you were going to grab that link.

Pekka

But @Pop I assume they sent Joel to charm Steve Jobs into signing a waiver

Michael Mrozek

@drachenstern I hope you didn't just refer to the SO tavern as "the tavern"

Popular Demand

10:02 PM

@drachenstern Excellent contraction, sir.

Pekka

and not raising a fuss over the askdifferent.com domain

Which is a nice name btw

Tim Stone

@MichaelMrozek Grace's answer to that is great

drachenstern

@PopularDemand you're welcome

@MichaelMrozek you're already in one tavern, so surely there being only one other tavern implies that you should goto the other one, no?

@RebeccaChernoff WHOA.

Tim Stone

This apple design conversion has been most challenging and tedius

Tim Stone

lmao, that might be a bit harsh :P

Jin

BUT, it will be worth it once i'm done.

Michael Mrozek

10:10 PM

@Jin I'd make a joke or ten about Apple users, but I think you are one, so I'll refrain

Jin

@MichaelMrozek haha. it's ok, i'm the only Mac user in SOIS. I get made fun of by PC devs ALL THE TIME

drachenstern

@Tyler pin :478947

@Jin Indeed it will sir

Moshe

YAY! it works!

badp

@Moshe did you ask on SU?

link us your questions

Moshe

@drachenstern Ugh forgot.

Will do.

drachenstern

/facepalm

@TimStone I thought you were gonna s/10E3/10E2/gi ... did that get vetoed?

or do I need to /update?

Tim Stone

Ask me again in a little bit, I think I did something different to the same effect but haven't checked it in yet

drachenstern

lol, ok

note-to-self, ask @TimStone again in a little bit

Q: How do I concatenate strings in a bash script?

How can I concatenate strings and variables in a shell script? stringOne = "foo" stringTwo = "anythingButBar" stringThree = "??" I want to output "fooanythingButBar"

Got it to work, sent to the client.

Tim Stone

10:28 PM

@drachenstern Sorry, annoyed because I have to explain how SSH works for some reason.

drachenstern

@TimStone that's ok, I get bothered with how to configure a IIS site to use port 81 instead of port 80

hell, they get surprised that that works /facepalm

Tim Stone

Hahah, well that makes me feel a little better.

drachenstern

@TimStone now you should goto the SO tavern and laugh some more ;)

Tim Stone

@TimStone "I'll type slowly"

Moshe

10:45 PM

Huh?

drachenstern

Moshe

Michael Mrozek

Do you get paid for converting people to the SO tavern?

drachenstern

lol, yes shhhh, I get 30 stars per day if I do ;)

or is it 20 ... bah, way to ruin a joke there @drachenstern ... sheesh

Jin

10:54 PM

did everyone see the new area51.stackexchange.com ?

Tim Stone

Yeah, @RebeccaChernoff already showed off ;)

Jin

it now has a Meta now too discuss.area51.stackexchange.com

Rebecca Chernoff

NOOOOOOOOO

don't call it a meta

(;

drachenstern

lol

Yeah, I wouldn't call that a meta

I would just call that the SE2.0 side of Area51

Jin

i meant Discussion :)

Jason Plank

10:56 PM

It is apparently a "Discussion Zone"

drachenstern

@Jin well yeah, it's called that already ;)

Tim Stone

I'm a little confused why the Multicollider has made its debut on the Discussion Zone but not on the main Area 51 site. :P

causes trouble

drachenstern

@TimStone lol

@RebeccaChernoff so can I pester you more about my inbox++ from earlier?

or do all replies just go straight to /bin?

Josh

Can't stay long but

Rebecca Chernoff

Something more than the inbox++ I already got? Feel free to email me again then.

Q: Can a question be moved from one account to another?

A friend of mine was looking for a word in an Im conversation. I asked the question for him on English.SE as if it were my own question. being the smart ass he is he decided to create an account there himself, and now I feel badly for stealing his question :-) Is it possible for moderators to re...

Moshe

@Josh - Hey.

Josh

Hey @Moshe. Can't stay long :-)

Tim Stone

@drachenstern Either you're in trouble or I'm going to guess that has something to do with a particular sketchy site. :P

Q: Ugly border around search box on Area 51 Discussion

The Area 51 Discussion site has a square border around the search box which itself is rounded. Looks a little amateurish to me.

bug design area51-discussion

Moshe

11:04 PM

@drachenstern Hey, cut some slack, I needed a closure on the transcript.

Tim Stone

@Josh 'Ello momentarily

ChrisF

@Jin - someone's not happy with your design

drachenstern

@TimStone see :479097

Josh

@TimStone Hey there, things going OK?

drachenstern

@Moshe oh I just thought it was funny :p

and the pesterry was for something else

Tim Stone

11:05 PM

scratches head

Moshe

@drachenstern I was going to "bow and leave" but that post caught my attention on the way out.

Tim Stone

@Josh Eh...I suppose, heh.

@ChrisF Perhaps they should GTFO OS X.

ChrisF

@TimStone GTFO?

Moshe

@TimStone Hey, many fine folk use OS X.

points at self

Am I the only one who can't access github?

ChrisF

@Moshe I would if I could afford to buy a Mac

2

Tim Stone

11:06 PM

@ChrisF Get the f__ off, I assume it's rounded because their text fields are rounded, or something. :P

ChrisF

@TimStone I was thinking it was something along those lines...

drachenstern

@TimStone no, I repro on chrome on xp

Moshe

@ChrisF Ah well I'm an iOS dev, i have no choice there. And it's paid for itself.

Tim Stone

@drachenstern Really?

drachenstern

@ChrisF hear hear

@TimStone red border on search yes

Rebecca Chernoff

11:07 PM

@ChrisF is this [status-repro] for you? What browser/version?

Tim Stone

@drachenstern Right, but not rounded text field.

Josh

Ok so @RebeccaChernoff I guess you lack the power I require? or, you are choosing to do more important things than deal with my silly requests? (I would if I were you... :-)

Rebecca Chernoff

Uh, say what? I just glanced in here and the onebox stood out.

drachenstern

@TimStone oh ack

Josh

@RebeccaChernoff See meta question above, waiwai993 just answered only devs can help me

You're the only employee I know well enough to ask for such a small thing, it's a silly request really

drachenstern

11:09 PM

ChrisF

@RebeccaChernoff There is a blue border, but it's not as pronounced as in the screen shot. I'm running Chrome 8.0.552.237 on XP SP3

Moshe

I repeat, am I the only one staring at this for too long while waiting for GitHub?

...wait for it...

laughs at double joke

Tim Stone

Ah, I suppose I should have actually looked at the post first.

Moshe

I can't access github

Tim Stone

status-norepro

Moshe

11:11 PM

Ugh

The internet here is messed up.

I have been meaning to (verb *)(open source) a small iOS app and I was about to do so!

Josh

@RebeccaChernoff my friend said he doesn't care about rep, so no need to investigate further :-) Thanks!

Tim Stone

@Josh You deserve rep for bringing in another victim to the SE network anyway ;)

Moshe

datayped "open source" to "verb"

ChrisF

@drachenstern This is pretty much what I see

Josh

@TimStone point taken :-)

now back to work for me, sadly! You all keep the insanity alive while I'm gone, now!

Moshe

11:13 PM

(removed)

Rebecca Chernoff

@Josh I think I can. Maybe. Seems like it, but not something I've tried.

Tim Stone

@Josh Be productive!

Moshe

Everyone ping @Josh so he doesn't go back to work </sarcasm>

Rebecca Chernoff

@ChrisF what about a blue border? I thought the issue was rounded corners

ChrisF

@RebeccaChernoff I'm not seeing any rounded corners - even when I zoom in

Rebecca Chernoff

11:15 PM

Right, but look at the screenshot in the question.

Moshe

@drachenstern - Think a mod would be able to assist with cleaning up that fellows questions? I can't delete 10 dupes. I only have 12 votes and no power to just delete myself.

drachenstern

why is my sidebar blowing up? :\

@Moshe yeah I flagged it and went on

Tim Stone

@drachenstern Complete with fiery explosion?

drachenstern

@TimStone indeed

ChrisF

@RebeccaChernoff I'm not seeing any rounded corners even in Firefox v3.6.7

Moshe

11:19 PM

@drachenstern Okay, just asking. I just feel bad flagging ten questions, that a lot of rep this guy loses. I think he get's the point now that it's been explained. Plus, he has more direct help so it should be less of an issue in the future.

drachenstern

@Moshe nah, I just flag one, leave it up to the mods

Moshe

@drachenstern Okay.

Ride leaves in five.

drachenstern

They don't need me to go and flag 10 questions I'm sure

ciao

Moshe

Gotta close up shop.

Thanks. Cya later folks, extended weekend!

badp

I wonder if foo-rec would be a good area51 tag

probably recommendations is better, but I can never get the spelling right!

Tim Stone

11:25 PM

@RebeccaChernoff I think they're just using some Firefox theme (so I guess I have to redact my anti-OS X comments from earlier, sigh :P)

drachenstern

damnit I have over 20k messages on the two chat servers :\

that's almost depressing

Q: QUESTION:: c# events broken

I am told to post on the meta I am sorry for the psoting of the dual but i must have now waited the 20 minutes... :) A problem I am having with the events of the c# some of my variables are not getting serialized per each entire method invocation. how do I know where arguments go??? or am I...

bug meta

Gah, he misunderstood. :/

badp

Is there somebody with 2k Area51 rep around?

Tim Stone

Definitely not me.

ChrisF

11:42 PM

Nowhere near - sorry

Josh

@Moshe if I get fired you're going to hire me again right? ;-)

Dan Grossman

Oops, a log file grew to 40GB and filled the drive on one of my VPS's. Kinda broke everything.

ChrisF

Nor am I likely to get there as I'm not proposing questions on new sites

Tim Stone

@DanGrossman Wow, whoops, that's quite the log.

@Josh I'll hire you ;)

drachenstern

busted :\ ... 6 hours on a sproc that should've taken 2 ... :\

Josh

11:43 PM

@RebeccaChernoff if you want to try seeing how far your powers extend, then the following question really belongs to thee user tryaria, not myself. You can see he is commenting on the question as well

Q: What's the word for "overly proud of your education"?

A friend and I are trying to remember a word to describe someone who is overly proud of their education. An example usage would be: Does that email make me appear too blank? Where blank is the word I am looking for, in case that is not obvious. He thought the word was "erudite" but when tha...

word-choice vocabulary

Tim Stone

@drachenstern At least the weekend is in sight

Josh

@TimStone LOL awesome, except you guys don't use PHP ;-)

Tim Stone

@Josh We use Java in a PHP-like way, does that count? :P

Josh

LOL

badp

aw, Area51 discussion upvotes don't bring Area51 reps.

Josh

11:46 PM

@RebeccaChernoff Nick, er, tryria said that he really doesn't care that I asked the question instead of him, so it's totally not a big deal. But if I know you, I think you like trying to see what kind of things you are able to do. So if and only you want to, move that question to tryaria's account

k thx bai, back to work for me!
