When do I get my badge?
whoops, my email's in there.
 
Umm, the one I got on Gaming for 30 consecutive days wasn't awarded until 2:52am (SO time).
 
Ok, good to know.
@TimStone Can you shed some light?
Can I get another badge if I don't log on for another 100 days? We could call it "Cured".
 
"Resist using this awesomesauce site for 100 consecutive days"
You'd have to have a condition that is can only be awarded after receiving Enlightened. Otherwise every user who joins just to post a single question then disappears would get it.
@Moshe By the way, what's with the perfect corners? That's not a freehand circle at all!
 
1:06 AM
@animuson It's Mac OS X's Preview, marking tool.
 
1:50 AM
I win!
 
2:33 AM
I'm only at 57 for my meta Fanatic badge :( I was at 60 before but I went and spent the night at a friend's house and forgot to log on! Didn't get home until like30 minutes after SO's midnight.

Q: Merge [dropdown] into [dropdownlist]

abatishchevPlease merge dropdown (1112) into dropdownlist (2207). Here's a piece of dropdown wiki: A dropdown list is something which is used to select a value from a given set of options. Drop down list. So both are assuming the same notion.

Excuse blatant plug, but I think this is worth your time (and possibly money): colossusonline.org/index.php. And that aside, it's fascinating history (codesandciphers.org.uk/lorenz/fish.htm)

This room is soooo dead. </whine>
 
Yeah.
 
4:44 PM
FYI for those of you who care: when doing some fairly routine cleanup, I noticed that GEOCHET returns (well, has permission to return, anyways) in two days.
 
lol
IIRC I blinked and missed last time that happened.
 
@PopularDemand Yeah, I'm taking bets:
1) How long until he's banned again
2) How long will this next ban be
3) How long after coming back does he express gratitude at Jeff leaving
 
@AdamDavis Here comes a new challenger:

Q: Wanton abuse of edit privileges detected

Matt FenwickThis post was edited to add in a comment to the post. Clearly, the user has a high enough reputation that he/she should understand that this is unacceptable behavior, but did it anyway. (shudder) What should be done? rollback the changes? manually rollback the changes, informing the editor t...

 
@PopularDemand Ha! I read that one yesterday. Great for a laugh. I still wish we had the logo question around...
 
@PopularDemand I love waffles' answer to that.

4:54 PM
@AdamDavis Bounties? Lesser amounts of reputation? Coupons with no rep value redeemable only at Pekka's reputation bordello?
 
He's active on Stack Overflow, but only in an editing capacity. I wonder if he'll bother to come back to meta at all, but then again I figured he wouldn't this time last year, and he did anyway. So did Evan. What, is it like a moth to flame wars?
 
Hi everyone.
 
Hello.
 
@jadarnel27 Did this get starred just because I used the word "waffle"?
 
@jadarnel27 Actually it was probably because you used the word "PopularDemand."
 
5:02 PM
@jadarnel27 It's because I agree with your sentiment but didn't want to post a "me too" post and clutter up chat.
I suppose it backfired.
 
@PopularDemand lol. Vanity-star'ddd!

@PopularDemand Well played.

@AdamDavis I laughed a bit at the though of cluttering up the Tavern.
 
MY GOD - IT'S FULL OF STARS!
 
Ooh, new (to me) pluralization bug. Only 17 days 'til I can open a ticket (unless I can find an existing one).
 
5:05 PM
Someone is TROLLSTARRING!
 
I checked recently. Apparently 15% of the people who voted on my question are irredeemable (they voted for it):

Q: Don't close questions where the user has requested that it not be closed

Adam DavisThe system should search posts for the word "please" in proximity to the phrase "don't close" or "do not close", and if found together disable the close link for the following reasons: They asked nicely They knew enough about the system to understand that posts can be closed, and thus are exper...

 
I had to double check.
 
@mootinator Funny thing. I show up and stuff gets starred! Correlation does not imply causation though, so I suppose you'll just have to keep guessing as to the reason.
 
Well, it isn't because @Moshe is here.
 
But as long as I hold the record for the most downvoted, still open question on meta, I'm satisfied.
 
5:09 PM
As long as 90% of the reason I have edit privs at all is because I answered that question, I will remain amused.
 
Okay, me, here's the plan. Find a copy of the script of Speed. Make the following substitutions: bus > meta question; 40 mph > -100 rep; explode > get deleted. Shorten to 30k characters, post as feature request, watch @mootinator and @AdamDavis flip out like Keanu Reeves.
Whoops, did I type that out loud?
 
lmao
 
Eeeek!
 
I'm going to have you two handing out successive 500-point bounties to see who can get you the most new downvotes!
 
@PopularDemand I'm interested in your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

@PopularDemand ahem

Q: Voluntarily discard reputation

Popular DemandOn April Fool's Day, I posted a joke Code Golf on SO. I thought it was hilarious. I spent a fair amount of time looking at the formats of other Code Golf questions to make sure mine looked authentic. And when I was finally satisfied, I went straight to the "Post Your Question" button... withou...

 
Get that one passed first.

Q: F%$ Internet-Explorer

msecAfter another beautiful day doing IE-Fixing again (since 10 years a monthly ritual) I don’t see the point of censoring myself_ YES. FUCK YOU MICROSOFT and FUCK YOU IE DEVELOPERS, you good for nothing POS browser that nobody with half a brain wants!! DEVELOPERS @ MICROSOFT ARE FAGGOTS AT ALL !

 
6:56 PM
I think I like MVVMC.
 
@PopularDemand Nice... shakes head
 
Clearly forgot to ask for it not to be closed.
 
Hi folks. At a follow up interview in the empire state building. Interviewer stepped out for a moment. So far so good.
 
7:13 PM
Don't screw up!
 
Seriously when will Microsoft drop IE, any ideas?
 
7:29 PM
Haha, I haven't seen that one before ^
 
7:46 PM
 
@PopularDemand great link, thanks. It has been said that ie the five times more secure then other browsers. Of course it is true if someone dare to use it :)
 
It has? Who said that?
 
microsoft itself, it was main phrase of advertisement
I can not find the original link yet, but searching
typo fix: 33 times :)
 
8:04 PM
Hey
I remember this place...
 
8:16 PM
You may remember this place.
But this place has no memory of you.
Except where it keeps track of "room owners", of course.
Technically, that's a sort of memory.
 
8:55 PM
Hey, @Chacha102. What's up?
@mootinator I didn't star those things. Honest!

Q: Are there foreign language Terminal command sets?

MosheI recently changed my MacBook's UI to show Hebrew, and at around the same time, I began using the Terminal more often. The combination of the two has lead me to wonder - are there Hebrew language commands, or any other non-english language command sets available for the terminal either on Unix, L...

 
9:19 PM
@Moshe Not much. Still working, still doing shtuff
 
@Moshe It's okay, I was backfilling you.
 
Argh, balpha and his authoritativeness beat me and my slow reference-finding. ;)

Q: Building an archive of deleted questions

Pekka's Reputation BordelloBack when the first discussion about deleted questions came up, I promised to look into building an official unofficial read-only archive for good deleted SE content. I had a plan to build something like this: Each link would point to a 1:1 scraped StackOverflow (or other SE network) deleted ...

 
MONDAY HAS BEEN DEFEATED.
LONG LIVE TUESDAY
 
@jadarnel27 not yet. It still has 58 minutes to go in reality.
(Reality being CET. All other time zones are deviations from reality.)
 
@PekkasReputationBordello Reality? Ugh...but I haaaaaaaate reality.
 
@jadarnel27 reality is cool, man. You always know where you are.
But monday hasn't been defeated yet where you are anyway, has it?
> Charlotte, NC
 
@PekkasReputationBordello Well. I get off work at 5:00 pm. That is what I consider defeating Monday. The rest of the day is gravy =)
 
10:04 PM
@jadarnel27 Ahhhhhhhhh
That makes sense.
A lot of sense.
 
:D
okbye. +1 to your question, by the way. I like that idea.
 
@jadarnel27 yeah, thanks! I'd really like to see it implemented. We'll see.
See you!
 
Oh, wow, is it really already 5:00?
Fantastic, I can go home in an hour or two.
 
Time flies when. . .
 
...You're in a daze and have been staring blankly at the screen for most of the day.
 
10:11 PM
You have already been eaten by a grue. This is what hell looks like.
 
:P
 
10:27 PM
@pekka what time zone is Cupertino? SJDT?
