@Telkitty when are you back? There's a job you may be interested in. Obj C

redhand

@YvetteColomb is there any job for me in Angular?

I downvoted this question because the OP approved that edit

user310756

@redhand seriously? another name. I'm ignoring you man. Too much - I have to go to your profile every time you talk to me, to find out who you are

redhand

@YvetteColomb why? didn't you talk to strangers?

if no, then for the first time when we talked, we are completely strangers :p

Journeyman Geek

9:15 AM

@redhand didn't your mom tell you not to talk to strangers?

redhand

@JourneymanGeek in childhood, yes. But not now

If you didn't talk to strangers, you can't talk to anyone. When you go to school, all of them are strangers.

until you talk to them, they are strangers for you

@ShaWizDowArd did you lost the track on me?

then blame Oded for that

Journeyman Geek

@redhand no u

@redhand meta.stackexchange.com/questions/301404/… is totally grounds for getting a book of anvils thrown at you with the kitchen sink

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@redhand yup

So Oded is another sock of Jeff?

redhand

no. blame oded because you lost track on me after these much days. if he didn't implemented, you may lost it very very early

Journeyman Geek

@redhand Oded did not hold a banana to your head and make you change nicks so often ;p

Oded

@JourneymanGeek that's very tempting now.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Oded too much white.

redhand

10:50 AM

@JourneymanGeek I've changed so often even without that. but now he's preventing me from doing so. I ask @Sha to blame him not for losing track of me. Instead, it took these much days for him to lose track on me. for that only I want sha to blame.

Journeyman Geek

no no no. See, you changed it so often cause it was broken,

Now its fixed

totally your fault

redhand

Since Oded fixed that, I wish he could change this from feature-request to

status-completed

@JourneymanGeek no. why they fixed it? when I opened a bug report, I wish it should take a 6-8 weeks. But they fixed it immediately. I think Oded self-assigned it and fixed it coz some members messaged here that they can't keep track of me

Journeyman Geek

"You wish"

If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets ;p

I mean, you're blaming oded for being efficient? ;p

redhand

@JourneymanGeek exactly

Journeyman Geek

I think claiming he was holding a banana to your head is much more credible...

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

10:57 AM

@redhand nope. Oded did not fix that, and feature request can't be fixed as it's not a bug. I really don't get you today, sorry....

(maybe we're in different modes?)

redhand

@ShaWizDowArd I think feature requests will be assigned after discussion of CM's internally

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

Allowing us to select what sites to update is a very long time request and very popular, but most likely it will never be done.

Journeyman Geek

@redhand actually, I think dev team also has some pretty significant say there, especially with DAG

@EdCottrell can you override this approved edit? stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/17458390

he is very careless while editing. he made 2 issues to code in this suggested edit stackoverflow.com/revisions/46442787/2

Ed Cottrell

@redhand I'll handle this one because I'm looking at it now. In the future, though, please just raise a flag. Thanks!

redhand

sure

@EdCottrell most of his edits are just to remove thanks or the signature. No other improvements are done. Is it acceptable?

throwing random ping @Sha

Ed, great. thanks for the support

Ed Cottrell

@redhand That's not a big deal, but most of the edits also break things and add new errors. That is a big deal. We'll handle it; thanks.

redhand

@EdCottrell 👍

I think previously he got a suspension for socking

angular animations are painless. happy working with it

another suspension O_O ?

A: Disable hot questions to prevent distraction

Even simpler than Unhandled's suggestion would be to install uBlock (available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera) followed by right-clicking the hot network questions area (or any other site element for that matter) and choosing Block element

@redhand its not likely to be officially supported

ah today was the last day to pay my exam fees. Forgot about it. from tomorrow onwards, it is public holiday till monday

Journeyman Geek

@redhand there's no single site badges

also, that sounds more like a winterbash hat ;p

redhand

is there any winterbash this year?

Journeyman Geek

3:38 PM

I would assume so

redhand

Q: Upcoming site design changes

A few weeks ago Canonical reached out to me about making some design changes on Ask Ubuntu to reflect the official Ubuntu site's new design guidelines. The goal is to keep all Ubuntu related sites(official or 3rd party) consistent. Currently on http://www.ubuntu.com, Ask Ubuntu is linked in the ...

NVZ

4:05 PM

Speaking of which - why is askubuntu's site design weird? Too much space left everywhere or too wide are the margins - I don't know the right terms.

redhand

@NVZ that is a container view

NVZ

okay, but i have no idea why that is so.

redhand

an 80% div with auto margin on left and right will do the job

that is a part of design

When it will be useful is a background image, then the container is transparent

That will make a good expression for sites on a particular category

NVZ

@redhand i didn't quite catch that. sorry?

i still don't understand why there is a yuuge gap above the stackexchange bar and below the ubuntu bar.

redhand

like this

this is a demo I am having now. you can find good designs

also there are things like non-transparent.

Apparently no one wants to have their conversation cut abruptly short when the room gets put in timeout.

I feel like we should have a play-by-play of people discussing what might be discussed until the blue flood and everyone cuts away to actually listen.

There's already a bunch of them in here but I never hang out in here to know whether they're just always here.

In my experience you can provoke them with some humor but don't look at me

Hey everyone! We’re just about ready to start up today’s Town Hall Chat. I’m going to put this room in timeout, go over the plan and the guidelines, and then give the floor to our hosts. Here we go!
