Q: Do we want hats - 2013 edition

Last year, Security.SE took part in the Winter Bash Hat Dash, where users earned "hats" for their gravatars by completing certain tasks (analogous to badges): Certain actions would trigger the user receiving a hat, which their gravatar could then "wear". For example, editing a post would yield...

Should I mock up a RSS-Feed that delivers the time until winter Bash?

Yes.

Hey, Programming Puzzles & Code Golf

AAAARGHH!

Hat wanty.

I wanted balpha to come say that we get our hats early ;(

New goal: Get everything I need to do done before 00:00

Bye folks ;)

I'll be back right before the hats show up.

Okay, I'm going to try to work too. But hats!

How do you add that to the room?

rss feeds are usually sorted newest-first

balpha has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

mhh, does that matter?

10:13 PM

@JohannesKuhn I would have to check the chat code to be sure

mhh, maybe I should not use so as url all the time.

maybe some link with hash that redirects.

balpha has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

balpha has stopped a feed from being posted into this room

Sourcecode: johannes13.de/fossil/tclapp/artifact/…

well @JohannesKuhn, there's why you shouldn't use that URL :)

10:25 PM

I noticed.

Should be fixed

Looks better.

not the best URL, but that URL does at least the job.

unfortunately, RSS isn't exactly a realtime delivery system...

chat only checks them every few minutes

Undo the Snowman

We need Community to come in here and give us a countdown :P

I'm not that bored yet.

Hah!

But @Feeds, you have the monotonous job of posting RSS items all day, every day, every week, always. Are you really OK with that?

Once it reaches T-15m it should release a new feed every 5 minutes, once it reaches T-5min it releases a feed every minute, and once it reaches T-1min it counts down every second.

Undo the Snowman

We need some kind of a chatbot.

let's see what Feeds do with that.

(If I think about it, why not abusing feeds for posting welcome notices?)

@Feeds Where are you?

Hey, I can actually ping Feeds.

Undo the Snowman

Yup. he won't respond, though.

(unless Balpha is sitting there controlling him)

About a minute and a half slow.

T-1:00

yeah, feed is busy

doing.. ehm nothing.

We're all busy like that, though, so I understand @Feeds

When trying to ping Feeds, it gave me this error:

Line: 296
Error: Unable to get value of the property 'name': object is null or undefined

Try putting some words, then pinging.

Test 123 foo bar @Feeds

@Feeds , you're bugged. I'm using the autocompletion thingy, though.

Same here

11:50 PM

Ohh, I switch to 1 min after 15 min. Didn't I do a rehash?

Ok, rehashed. should only update every 5 min now.

if {$diff <= 900} {set incr 60}
if {$diff <= 60} {set incr 1}

was the old code

New logic:

if {$diff <= 900} {set incr 300}
if {$diff <= 300} {set incr 60}
if {$diff <= 60} {set incr 1}
