I'd call it a glass panel.
 
My suggestion is "creeper's viewport"
 
That has a nice touch.
 
Solid choices.
 
nods
 
The creeper's are handily thwarted (that sounded grosser than I meant it to) by the paper blinds - which I still have up over that glass pane, 4 months after moving in.
I should look into getting real blinds after I'm done with this whole wedding thing.
 
1:24 AM
Ah yeah, how's that coming along?
 
2:00 AM
It's great!
This craziness is going down on October 27th.
(the getting married, that is)
You're all invited. Just kidding, I can't pay for anyone else to eat.

@jadarnel27 I was going to send a present but a mod intercepted the shipment.

Hi
Once have a look at this post meta.stackoverflow.com/q/172696/196352
I am having the same problem
I tested on this site websocketstest.com
and I am getting cross on port 80 and port 443
I consulted System admin here
In other pc's on same network, the websocket connection is working fine
Is the problem with my own laptop?
How to solve this?

Hi, How can I regain priveledges to post questions on meta?
 
user161222
I followed the links and they just said to "edit questions"
 
user161222
However, the questions are exactly the way I want them, and people just didn't like the ideas.

@JoeHobbit That's a bit of a tricky situation and might be difficult to recover from
Which more or less is what inspired this request: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/179093/…

Because he changed the code of a post and wrote "arabian nights" :?
^ revision
 
Nah @Mr_Green. He should admittedly not have touched the code, but other than that the edit was legitimate. I'm assuming the "Arabian Nights" was somewhat of a joke.
 
hehe k

Well, it looks like I'll have to give up campaigning for @PopularDemand in every SO election
 
@mmyers Why? Based on the amount of junk you have to deal with on SO, I'd think you'd be used to spending your time on futile efforts.
(But seriously, thanks for continuing to do that.)
 
@Mr_Green That doesn't mean you should just roll it back, by the way. Reverting only the code section would have been appropriate
 
3:15 PM
@PopularDemand Congrats!
Y U NO diamond?
 
Thanks! It's possible that I haven't actually been hired, and that this is all an elaborate practical joke run by Grace Note. Or it's my actual first day and diamond distribution doesn't happen until the afternoon. Frankly, I'm hoping for the second.
 
@PopularDemand Anna Lear. She's the one who edited you in.
And she's a cat. Big on practical jokes.
But usually this is the cycle for employeefication:
- Person is hired
- Person gets diamond assigned everywhere. But a mod diamond, not a CM diamond.
- Mods realize that there's a new kid on the dashboard
- Mods complain
- Employee flag gets set
That's happened like thrice :P
 
404 error on stackoverflow
 
3:48 PM
@Manishearth it should be a bit more automated now, thanks to @NickCraver
 
@BenCollins Ah, nice :)
 
@Manishearth this is my favorite part, though. Gonna miss that.
 
@BenCollins Replace that with an inbox message "You have a new overlord! Please welcome (him|her)!"
 
good idea :-)
@Laura:
grrr. I do not understand. sometimes chat lets me upload via copy/paste and sometimes it doesn't.
 
@BenCollins Umm... it never does
Unless you guys are using dev.chat or bonfire.chat or whatever.
 
3:53 PM
doh. wrong room :\
 
@PopularDemand Hah, congratulations!
 
@TimStone Thanks!
I know there's an e-mail from you I should reply to, will get to it later today.
 
@PopularDemand yes it's a practical joke, but we won't tell you before april 1st 2023
 
@PopularDemand No rush, the past few days have been kind of a blur for me anyway.
 
Drugs are bad, Tim.
 
4:03 PM
So is sleep deprivation, I'm told. But there's a lot to get done in the next week, heh. :P
 
@BenCollins So you guys have a chat room with beta features? GIVE US THE BETA FEATURES
 
ssshhhh!
 
4:17 PM
@Manishearth nah, just internal-only features like file uploads, the wheel of blame, and as of newly, the PicBot
other than that, we run on the same software as the public chat

@PopularDemand !!!!
 
Anonymous
That's an awesome surprise!

Congratulations, I'm sure you'll be great. :D
 
@JeremyBanks Funny, that's how I reacted, too.
Thanks!
 
@Manishearth FTFY
 
@PopularDemand Plot twist: didn't actually apply for the job
 
4:53 PM
"coma": not the same as "comma"
 
Both can mean a brief pause
 
"coma": not always the same as "comma"
 
Let the "status-completed by Popular Demand" jokes roll in!
 
@balpha Yay :)
 
6:01 PM
Mod editing a meta question so it no longer basically asks "should I use SO to hit on the female members" is way too charitable. :/
 
Ugh touchpads.
 
So you... accidentally recommended deleting obvious troll?
 
The point is that's a question
It should be "close" not "recommend deletion"
 
What the h?! Congrats, @PopularDemand! That's awesome.
 
@jadarnel27 Thanks!
 
6:12 PM
Oh, did you get hired?
 
I think so... but according to balpha, I'm the victim of a nine-and-a-half-year-long practical joke.
 
That would be epic, though. Really messed up. But epic.
 
@PopularDemand Oh my... Should I offer condolences or congratulations? Or both? (joking)
Kinda weird that you don't even know yourself whether you've been hired or not.
 
He's joking about that part, @Seth.
 
>.<
This is confusing.
 
6:35 PM
I've had 0 search hits on careers, I started my careers account a month ago or so. When does it kick off? do I need a specific amount of rep? or is it just because I live in a small country?
 
7:58 PM
I'm pretty sure @PopularDemand was not hired. Someone simply botched the actual announcement by stating "And I'm happy to say that we've chosen as a community moderator, by popular demand,.......wait...where's everybody going?"

Congrats on that fluke though
