does the Electorate badge award calculate when the day flips over?

I think so, but I forget the details on that one.

facepalms Gah, what a blatant bug.

@TimStone Eh? Squash it!

if (USED_TOKENS.contains(tokenID)) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException(
    		String.format("Attempting to already-in-use token ID %s",
    				tokenID)
    );
}

Amazingly, that doesn't do anything if you never put the token into USED_TOKENS. Who would have guessed?

lol

I see there's a bit of a sentence fail there too, damn.

hah

That's special, alright.

I put a ticket in so I can be ashamed of myself later. :P

tsk tsk tsk ;)

Speaking of which, that reminds me I want to setup some sort of ticketing system for my own projects. This current project keeps getting larger and larger. LOL It's a great example of the iceberg effect.

Yeah, I still keep far too many things in my head. Turns out that's a terrible storage spot.

Yup. Though, I am getting back to my old self in that regard, now that I have managed to improve my sleep schedule.

It "amazing" how correct my psych prof was about the need for sleep. At my last job, I was having problems remembering perl's syntax. This time around, it's been much less painful.

hehe, I worked out with the boss today where I'll focus between 2 and four hours of my morning working on other people's problems, but once I goto lunch and come back for the evening shift I'm gonna be working on my own projects, as I can't keep sacrificing half-a-days->whole-days on "this doesn't build, what's wrong with my query" even tho I can troubleshoot it faster ... holy crap that turned into a mini-rant. Sorry all

LOL no worries

in other news ... who wants to briefly thumb through (and offer loads of constructive feedback on what's wrong with it) my outline/sketch for tonight's "Introduction to jQuery" presentation? prezi.com/_cs9tco5arqo/an-introduction-to-jquery

"A method for cross browser standardization."

LOL "It's not a programming language!" Damn straight!

I'd say there are 3 parts to client-side web development. Most of my work on my current project has been in the perl data intake script. :)

FYI, something my lead just sent me: blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2009/02/26/…

@jcolebrand On the "Ok, so what?" slide, should that be "in a repeatable and sane fashion?"

You should show an example of chaining.

Nice. I like it. It's very much just an intro, but a good presentation.

$('#myDiv').append("<h3>").children('h3:last').append("<a>").children('a:last').‌​attr("href", "http://example.com").text("Click here");

@PopularDemand Interesting. I may have a hard time getting any actual work done today. ;)

@GeorgeMarian Mission accomplished!

lol

@GeorgeMarian thanks. I don't know who my audience is and I want to just cover the absolute barest points for the audience, and the guy after me is going to cover a use-case of jQuery to solve a pain-point of his, so he'll show chaining, I think. I'm worried, cos we didn't collab, so he might have wanted something more indepth from me. But I think this gives people a foundation.

@GeorgeMarian thanks, haha typos. Appreciated

@GeorgeMarian this one I wasn't sure I said what I wanted ...

You're quite welcome.

@jcolebrand Ah, yes. I know the feeling. W/o knowing what he's going to present it's hard to say, but I think it's a good wade through the waters of jQuery.

@GeorgeMarian Now to hope my narrative can keep the pace and the interest ;)

LOL

@GeorgeMarian Good, now I know not to click. :P

is anyone else having issues with voting on the stacks today?

@jcolebrand Well, you're not showing huge blocks of code, so it shouldn't be too hard. Plus, the presentation has all that motion.

@PopularDemand stupid "700 languages" is pay-only ... </college-student> oh that's right, I'm on this side now aren't I? Sheesh ...

@jcolebrand Nope, seems alright to me.

@TimStone Heh. It definitely looks like something to check out. I've added it to my README tag on delicious.

@jcolebrand Ha. I'm still trying to catch up on my email.

Gah! Firefox is overdue for a restart. =/

God, I really hate our forums.

The lack of Markdown angers me.

Trying to backtick code and it doesn't work.. shakes head

Yeah, the lack of Markdown in Mediawiki has been cramping me.

{{replyTo|645260}} What do you ''mean'' lack of [daringfireball.net/projects/markdown Markdown]

by the way I still wish we could use proper tables rather than blockquoted blocks of painstakingly aligned text.

@jcolebrand Wait, I'm a little lost. Which site?

It's OK, I'm sure you feel more fulfilled this way, having put that much more blood and sweat into each tabular post.

@GeorgeMarian prezi.com

Ah, yes. That looks pretty sweet.

hello chrome 12

I haven't yet gotten used to the fading text on the tabs. Still always thinking my monitor is dirty

@balpha There is some heuristic so that if you open a page from another and both have the same preffix followed by a dash (or somesuch; this happens e.g. for Youtube) then the prefix is also faded out.

but it's a pretty weird corner case I could never really reproduce

also moving the tabs away from each other loses the effect and moving them back doesn't reinstate it. Strange stuff.

engineers trying their luck at UX? :)

dunno, I thought Chrome had their own ad-hoc 'crack team'

Thanks, had you two not said anything I likely wouldn't have noticed.

And I'm out I guess, bbl (probably tomorrow)

@Jin Now we just need them for the Cool Kids™ too so I can get some. :p

@balpha I haven't gotten used to the "I'll let your tabs get so small you can't even see the favicons anymore"...I think that's always been there, but it's still damn annoying.

@Jin - Really cool idea.

@TimPost thanks! i got my cards the other day

@Jin - It would be nice to have those, as well as a stock of stickers and other cheap give aways. Although, I don't know how many community mods are often in a situation to actually hand them out. Still, it seems like an inexpensive enough proposition to happily satisfy the 'just in case' scenario.

@TimPost it's definitely nice to have. i've been work local meetups before where i wish i had a card to give out

but most of the time i just end up giving people my twitter id :)

and STRESSED that my tweets don't represent the company :) don't want people to think SE is about bacon 'n internet lolcats..

@Jin - That's another reason why I don't hand out my 'day job' business cards for talks I give on my own time .. especially when I blast my own industry for lack of cooperative development.

@Jin why would you want to lie about that? (:

@RebeccaChernoff gotta maintain our repz..
