I'm going to start popping into THCs and asking questions like "which nominee would make the worst mod?". It's going to be fun

HAHA

"What secret do you think would put you out of the running if it became widely known?"

Programmer town hall is over

The Renamed Exception

@JustinjjnguyNelson great questions!

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

12:08 AM

@TheRenamedException Thanks, just trying to help.

I probably won't even vote. I haven't participated on the site at all.

The Renamed Exception

haha, I might not either

Michael Mrozek

@JustinjjnguyNelson I can't vote; I asked questions anyway :)

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@MichaelMrozek why can't you vote?

Are you a pro tem mod?

Michael Mrozek

No, I have 101 rep there

I'm pretty sure pro tem mods can vote

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@MichaelMrozek ah. I could have sworn your name was blue...

Michael Mrozek

12:10 AM

I'm a pro tem mod on Unix; chat doesn't make a distinction

If you click a name on chat.SE you can see what site their account is associated with

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@MichaelMrozek Ah.

Rebecca Chernoff

Ask, sure

The Renamed Exception

@JustinjjnguyNelson I am sure Zypher will help you out :-D

@TheRenamedException i meant to ask Rebecca in P.SE chat.

The Renamed Exception

12:15 AM

@JustinjjnguyNelson She will probably help you. I was referring to when Zypher changed my name without my permission :-)

@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException also when chat re-syncs with meta your username will be shorter ... i ... couldn't ... stand ... it

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@TheRenamedException Haha. oh I see. I'm not hip to all of the inside jokes.

The Renamed Exception

@JustinjjnguyNelson you had to be here. It happened 30 days ago -- I just got my name back ;-)

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@TheRenamedException Ah, fair enough.

Michael Mrozek

@JustinjjnguyNelson oy. (:

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@MichaelMrozek I don't get that one either...

Well, the smiley I get...but not oy

Michael Mrozek

@YiJiang Good job with the election site btw.

@JustinjjnguyNelson Thanks

@JustinjjnguyNelson yeah, I second this @YiJiang!

@YiJiang spreading evil lies about me? ):

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@RebeccaChernoff You'd have to disprove his statement before they become lies.

The Renamed Exception

@MichaelMrozek I did it again, huh? I created the room under the wrong site!

How did I do that wrong?

Michael Mrozek

I don't even remember how it works, it's been a long time since I made a room

It probably associates the room with whatever site your chat account is associated with, which for you is SO

Yi Jiang

12:29 AM

@TheRenamedException Shouldn't you have to choose from a list of sites when you create the room?

The Renamed Exception

@YiJiang I swear I checked everything before making this room since last time I miessed it up

Michael Mrozek

@YiJiang That's how I would expect it to work, but there's no option for it

The Renamed Exception

I think @MichaelMrozek is right, it uses my associated account

Rebecca Chernoff

in Programmers Town Hall Chat, 31 mins ago, by Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

How do you feel about the (what seems to me as a ) relatively small turnout to this chat? Does it upset you? Are you phased by it at all?

Michael Mrozek

12:31 AM

Possibly to prevent you from making a room on a site you don't have enough rep on, although it seems like it could just check for that after you submit

The Renamed Exception

That was a good question @JustinjjnguyNelson, I didn't even see it live

only just saw it

@MichaelMrozek makes sense

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@TheRenamedException thanks

Michael Mrozek

I see an alert in here, and like 15 seconds later my really slow computer across the room that also has chat open makes the "new message!" sound

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

I hope SO holds a mid year election...I can't wait another year to run again.

That digest was a piece of cake :-)

@TheRenamedException Good work.

Trufa

@JustinjjnguyNelson you'll have my support!

The Renamed Exception

@JustinjjnguyNelson haha, thanks

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

@Trufa thanks.

The Renamed Exception

I agree with @MichaelMrozek there has to be a better format

it was pretty bad when JoshK and Renesis though my room was the real town hall! =o

Yi Jiang

Hmmm, where did the 'invite this user to...' option go?

@TheRenamedException Ahahaha

Justin 'jjnguy' Nelson

12:36 AM

@TheRenamedException Yah. I wouldn't have started it before the town hall was over

The Renamed Exception

@YiJiang see my query from last digest :-)

@JustinjjnguyNelson yes, I agree :-)

or at least until all candidates were present

Yi Jiang

I can create a GM script that would allow you to pull out chat messages and format them with a template, would that work?

You can then do whatever you want with the formatted messages

The Renamed Exception

that would be awesome.

but what Town Halls are left?

Yi Jiang

@TheRenamedException Well, there's at least half a dozen more elections, so...

The Renamed Exception

ah, nice

I had no idea there were so many for some reason

First, a quick update on the Stack Exchange moderator election schedule.

Ending today, so get those votes in!

Ending soon:

Coming soon, in this order, at 3 per week:

(as always check out Yi Jiang’s awesome Stack Exchange Moderator Candidate Statistics page for insanely detailed election stats on any of the above.)

@MichaelMrozek I like that

Trufa

@ircmaxell well that could be nice

The Renamed Exception

it's clean and easy to read. But, will votes affect it? I guess people will vote for the best questions

I kinda like that idea also actually!

Michael Mrozek

@TheRenamedException Yeah, that's exactly why I didn't break it down by user (although I think that view would certainly be useful, possibly more so than by question)

@ircmaxell I've asked a couple of (seemingly interesting questions) on security

But seriously, you can look at the source code

I will have too sleep eventually (random - thinking out loud though)

Michael Mrozek

@TheRenamedException Ah, yes, that would save quite a bit of work

The Renamed Exception

@MichaelMrozek sorry meant GM

Yi Jiang

@ircmaxell The list is cloned 4 times to give it enough spin length

ircmaxell

ahhh

makes sense then

Trufa

@TheRenamedException how do you quote like that!

?

Yi Jiang

1:03 AM

The second li.length * 2 is there to make sure that it spins through at least 2 list lengths

What is your fav site behind SO?

The Renamed Exception

1:28 AM

@Benny favorite to use? Meta :-)

Followed by StackOverflow

Favorite design? Apple

Trufa

any mods around here?? (or with enough power to make a post community wiki which I think is the same thing)

Benny

@TheRenamedException I mean anything besides SE sites

The Renamed Exception

@Benny oh, you said "behind", I was unclear as to what you meant

@Benny ...wait, there exists sites other than StackExchange sites? LIES!

@TheRenamedException You can't call it Apple any more, you have to call it Ask Different now. :-P

@Trufa by the way, that's Tim Stone. Tim Post is a moderator ;-)

Yi Jiang

@TheRenamedException Not yet, no

Tim Stone

1:38 AM

Tim Post's name coming before mine in the autocomplete is the best thing that could have happened. People accidentally throw insults his way, and he can ban them before they realize their mistake and come after me.

@ChrisJesterYoung my view exactly

Michael Petrotta

My plan to elect Michael Mrozek as a mod, and thereby make him too busy for the chat, so I don't get his notifications, has evidently failed.

Trufa

@TheRenamedException thats why we are here (joke too) ;)

Benny

Did any run to be a mod on any site here?

Chris Jester-Young

@Benny I nominated myself for SO moderatorship, but didn't pass the primary.

The Renamed Exception

@ChrisJesterYoung why didn't you tell me you were from Durham earlier, I would have campaigned for you! :-)

...like my campaign for @MichaelMrozek did any good, haha...

Benny

1:42 AM

@Chris How many votes did you get?

Chris Jester-Young

@TheRenamedException @TimPost supported my nomination too. That wasn't enough either.

@Benny High two figures.

The Renamed Exception

@ChrisJesterYoung clearly that was a facade to get elected himself ;-)

Chris Jester-Young

@TheRenamedException Hahahahaha. I'd vote for him anyway, he's a #stackoverflow semi-regular, and I always support anybody in #stackoverflow who runs for moderatorship.

The Renamed Exception

@ChrisJesterYoung what is this #stackoverflow you speak of??

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE CHAT!

:-)

Benny

@TheRenamedException what server is #stackoverflow on?

The Renamed Exception

1:45 AM

@Benny IDK. I only chat here

Chris Jester-Young

@Benny Freenode.

@TheRenamedException It's my home channel, don't dis it!

If you want to use IRC to chat with stackoverflow people...

Q: IRC access for the chat?

Will there be any way of accessing the chat over IRC? As beautiful ajax interfaces are ... IRC is still #1 for chats.

discussion chat irc

This is a request for the SO chat system to have an XMPP interface.

@MichaelMrozek they don't have one on meta.so

Michael Mrozek

@Benny I still don't understand if they're going to be mods there or not; I haven't gotten a straight answer yet

Benny

1:52 AM

@MichaelMrozek If they don't will there be a election on meta.so?

Michael Mrozek

@Benny Well, meta already has tons of mods, that's the main reason they might not add new ones

Benny

@MichaelMrozek how many mods do they have?

Michael Mrozek

@Benny 12 (all the trilogy mods up to a certain point, and a couple dedicated meta mods)

Benny

@MichaelMrozek How many mods do SO have now?

@ChrisJesterYoung XMPP bridge is back

1:54 AM

@Benny 9

Chris Jester-Young

@TheRenamedException \o/

Trufa

@MichaelMrozek 9? including founders?

Michael Mrozek

No, I don't count devs

Yi Jiang

@Trufa The full list is actually quite long if you count devs

api.meta.stackoverflow.com/1.0/users/moderators

Michael Mrozek

It doesn't change the comparison anyway, since they have mod abilities everywhere. It's 12 vs. 9 or 12+n vs. 9+n

Benny

1:55 AM

@MichaelMrozek if they don't become meta mods will meta have an election becuase I will run/

Michael Mrozek

@YiJiang Oh, that's a useful route

@Benny Didn't you ask that already?

Trufa

@YiJiang where the hell do you get all this stuff

???

Yi Jiang

@MichaelMrozek Yeah, but it doesn't separate dev and mods, which is annoying

Benny

@MichaelMrozek sorry :(

Yi Jiang

@Trufa The Stack Exchange API

stackapps.com

Trufa

1:57 AM

@YiJiang the API is read only right?

Yi Jiang

@Trufa Yup

Michael Mrozek

SLaks is a meta mod now, so I guess that answers that question

So we'll have 15 mods now

Benny

@MichaelMrozek what about SF/SU mods?

Michael Mrozek

They're not going to be MSO mods, they have dedicated metas now

The Renamed Exception

That's a lot of mods

Michael Mrozek

1:58 AM

@TheRenamedException Indeed; hence the lack of a dedicated election T_T

Benny

Does anyone know how to build an SE programm on Windows using VS 2010?

The Renamed Exception

Ok, I confess, I was just using that last comment as an excuse to test XMPP write support XD

@TheRenamedException I feel so used
