@EatmoreTwisters You could always become a famous athlete first. Or a sailor. Or an aide to a man of the cloth. And if all else fails, become the victim of a crime.
@jcolebrand What is a transaction in a store but a battle between two people over price?
my point Moshe is that what I'm talking about is how you recover when there's a mega failure (home button counts here or a crash). I would rather have autosave
That's helpful, actually, especially if it's showing more than just a list of text. Avatars may be more complicated to mess with movement, but meh, I'm being lazy there.

That sounds like a great idea. So I have to acquire a qualification that no one in the US has. Simple!
a few of us are going to do the nodeknockout competition in a couple days, so we're trying to get the last minute (the stuff we should've done first) things in order
the views would have more hard coded string data, the chat windo itself would be easier
That's a great point, I'll keep that in mind as I'm building things. I may actually implement it for the contest depending on the time. I have someone I could get to do portuguese, and I imagine I could tap you or a couple others for German, yeah?
and even if we don't get any kudos from them for the project, the people that have asked for this on this chatroom alone are gonna kinda make it worth it
you just wanna see how close we come to your setup :p admit it ;)
it's gonna be a couple months at least I imagine in our spare time to match up to anything close to what this system does
@jcolebrand That does seem like an insane timeframe. But I'd be interested in helping out. Or at least spectating. (I saw the word "contest" in there, which leads me to believe that there may be rules/restrictions I'm not yet aware of.)

> A leaked GameStop memo indicates that employees are to open the regular PC release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and discard the included OnLive coupon.
@PopularDemand yes, but we're not going to do a rewrite of everything
just the core functionality at first
we'll probably throw it all away and rebuild it after we find the pain points from the first version
What I'm debating is to make it in such a way that it can tie in with an SEI/OSQA rep system for sites running both together
I don't think I want to tho, as that would not suit the purpose of this chat system initially.
However, if the OSQA folks wanted to put together something similar to the SEI but for frees and on your own hardwares, I wouldn't be opposed to helping them. Just not something I want to pursue
so many internal teams would be able to use something like this side-by-side with other avenues of communication
once we perfect oneboxing, the thing to do would be to have a comparable gist clone attached to this, as well as a copy of the imgur stack for image upload embedding
So the things we're leaving out for sure for the contest: multi-room-notification in the sidebar, image uploading, most oneboxing.

and since I've been discussing with various SEI emps about the legality of recreating a comparable system for free and not getting in trouble, and since I was directed more than once to the meta post about the legality of the OSQA clones, and since I want something to do that's not work related ... this wins.
@Fosco hmm, that's odd, I've gotten the emails they've sent me over the course of the past two days
@jcolebrand Neither of these things are an issue for me, although I actually did have something I wanted to work on, so my plan was to try and get started on that. How long do I have to decide? :p
You should totally get Tim Stone to join your team... he'd be a great addition. That said, I don't have any plans this weekend, might be interested if he backs out.
Based on the way this week has been going, I'm mostly worried I'd actually be a braindead addition. ;) But thanks for the vote of confidence, @Fosco. :D
@Raynos @jcolebrand while I will be unable to have any part of this I wish you all the best as I've been hoping for an SE Chat clone for a while. Can offer web space though.

@mootinator no, they are not. The only thing you need to know about them is how to deactivate them. Preferable on BIOS or hardware level so they have no chance of coming back. #@!# laptop touchpads.
I have a Pavilion dm1 and my typing gets screwed up all the time because I touch the touchpad with my palms. I haven't found a way to turn it off yet (but then, I haven't looked that hard... And I do have big hands.)
Well, I just started dressing up a build for a client. It's moving along fairly nicely. It's depressing to see native controls all mangled together without a nice polish.
