@MichaelMrozek I was able to see one yesterday, but ah, that may be because of 10k+? Not sure
 
@MichaelMrozek I rather think that's his point, you can't. But you can at least star them and wreak havoc with others
 
@MichaelMrozek I can look into Moshe's backpack room and star stuff, but I'm not a member
 
@Pekka Oh, so you mean gallery rooms; private rooms are something else
 
@MichaelMrozek ah, I see
 
Although I imagine it would work there too, if you figured out a message ID and sent the right query
 
9:02 PM
@Pekka yeah I can add people to that, figured it was a done room, didn't want to bother the mods with it any further.
 
@MarcGravell Congratulations!
I bet they forced a clause upon you saying that employees don't get a painting when reaching 200k
Sneaky as they are
 
@Pekka I think you're mistaken; Marc did indeed get a painting upon reaching 200k. There's a picture of it:

HAHAHAHAHAHA
I like how you put his Gravatar on the badge, also. Classic
 
@TheRenamedException I wanted my photoshopping to withstand even severe scrutiny
 
@MichaelMrozek haha!
@TheRenamedException yeah, great work
 
9:09 PM
We never let you get anything done do we @Pekka? LOL
 
hey if I have 600+ rep on E.SE I should be able to submit an edit on a question for review right? Or would that be a no because someone else is already editing it? :\
 
Every time you try to leave we pull you back in
 
@TheRenamedException hahaha!
 
@drachenstern As long as there's no suggested edit already in the queue for that post, and the queue isn't full, you should be able to regardless of rep
 
@MichaelMrozek yeah but I'm not able to
hence the :(
 
9:11 PM
@drachenstern Which post? I see the link

Q: Side bard formatting problem on the elections page

C. RossI've noticed a side bar formatting problem on elections page. The fancy border doesn't stretch with the content ...

 
night :)
 
Oh, I don't know what the rules are for per-site metas

Q: Per-site metas don't have ability of suggested-edits

SathyaI love the suggested-edits feature that was recently added onto Stack Exchange. However, this feature seems to be missing in per-site metas. For instance: Server Fault Meta: DBA Meta : The parent websites, do have the edit link however.

 
9:14 PM
@MichaelMrozek awwwwwwwwwwww
My sister: > Well Cole, not everybody is on FB.
Me: > Then shoot them in the head.
 
@RebeccaChernoff I somehow missed your answer to my question because of my conversion with Pekka. Obviously making jokes about THC took priority over actual productive conversation. Why will Photo.SE and Webmasters.SE not have Town Halls?
 
She's debating burning DVDs for everyone who wasn't able to attend her wedding
 
@drachenstern weddings?
Plural?
 
she doesn't understand that it's going to be a large hassle
 
I done gone and hacked time again
 
9:21 PM
She has a bit of video footage that she's not happy with (can be fixed in post if she spends time on it) and a slew of photos (that haven't been curated) and her sonogram videos (not a shotgun wedding, she was determined to get married and have a kid before 30, I don't understand the biological imperative inherent in that) and who knows what else (probably try and put in the songs that were played at her wedding too)
Her immediate question when we started the convo was "a dvd can hold more pictures than a CD right?" to which I answered in the affirmative. Then she asked me to speculate on how many. I guessed roughly 700 million more
 
@drachenstern 700 million more?
 
:512426 Your logic has only one slight flaw: you assume him to be serious.
 
@mmyers my logic has one slight flaw: it assumes I can read
:-)
He said 700 million more, not 700 million times as many
 
Well, I can't either, so it all works out then.
 
Still, what's the average size of these pictures. 700m is a lot
 
9:29 PM
But, I still feel it's totally wrong :-)
I come up with 1268 additional pictues at 3.5 MB per image, which is a large image
 
If they're 1M then you'd need a 700T disc to hold them all (and this is just the extra ones that didn't fit on the CD)
 
In that case, I withdraw my second comment.
 
@MichaelMrozek I think they sell those at Costco now.
 
Yes. So I was correct in thinking @drachenstern was totally wrong, even if I was correct for an incorrect reason, lol
@PopularDemand they're 24 feet in diameter
 
Watson is on Jeopardy now. (:
 
9:32 PM
Yey!
@RebeccaChernoff Didn't he dominate last time?
 
This is the 1st show...unless I'm confused.
They're certainly making it seem like this is the first.
 
@TheRenamedException He did well in the practice rounds. This is the first actual show
 
I probably am. I normally am
@MichaelMrozek Ah, that explains it. I remembered reading an article saying he did well
 
I remain convinced Trebek is going to ask a question, Watson is going to ring in, calculate for three seconds, and then kill everyone in the building
 
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
 
9:34 PM
@RebeccaChernoff Say what? It's not even 5 pm where I am yet! Argh.
 
Tis on 3:30-4 here! I asked my tv guide!
...that and now I have the tv on watching it. q:
 
@RebeccaChernoff Unbelievable. I'm used to it being on from 1930-2000.
 
@RebeccaChernoff What's happening?!?!
Tell us everything
 
It's on at 7PM here.
 
Some of us are still at work. Which requires us to leave our homes. glares
 
9:39 PM
After reading an article on Watson last week, I did some research and landed on j-archive.com. Is it my imagination (because I can read the answers), or is Jeopardy really easy?
 
now a fully graduated public site with a snazzy new design: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
 
I wouldn't want to spoil things for those watching later. (:
 
@MichaelMrozek thanks, btw - like the attention to detail with the badge
 
@mmyers I suck at Jeopardy when I watch on TV, so either it's your imagination, or I'm stupid
 
What is that picture behind the logo on the WP site?
 
9:48 PM
@mmyers @TheRenamedException I think a DVD holds 9GB of information if DL right? which is like 9663676416 bytes which over 700,000,000 yields a size of 13.80525202285714 bytes per image which is probably not enough to hold all the information for an image proper, so I was off by two orders of magnitude, but it was sufficient to shut her up ;)
 
@MichaelMrozek Well, it's on during the early afternoon here, so I've only seen it once.
 
sorry, boss in office, conferring
 
@drachenstern Billion. You should have said billion.
 
@drachenstern 7.4 if DL
 
@TheRenamedException ahh, so there's that
 
9:49 PM
I need more views on this question so I can add a bounty.
Go view it.

Q: How can I retain modal views and alerts across rotations?

MosheI'm using willRotateToInterfaceOrientation to swap views when my iPad rotates. If I have a modal view or an alert view open when my device rotates and swaps views, the view swaps and the alert disappears and does not reappear, even if the alert is "presented" again later. What can I do to fix ...

 
I wonder how much we could store if discs were still the size of LaserDisc
 
Also, I think my math was wrong ... 9 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 is billions * millions * thousands ... did I miss something?
 
@drachenstern ((7.4 * 1024) - 650) / averageSizeOfPhoto
 
@TheRenamedException yields total#ofImages
so that can be reversed to give average size of photo if we instead insert total#ofImages
which is 7.4 * 1024 - 650 / total#ofImages
@MarcGravell so did you actually answer the question? :p
 
9:54 PM
Hello
 
How do I stop a modal view from disappearing when rotating on iPad? UGH!
 
Include instructions in the modal view "DO NOT ROTATE YOUR IPAD!"
 
Where's @BradLarsen or @BoltClock when you need them?
@DanGrossman Haha
 
@DanGrossman LOL
 
9:56 PM
@DanGrossman I've temporarily implemented that in code, btw.
No jokes.
 
@Moshe "No Jokes"? I think you've come to the wrong place... :-)
2
 
It is now that my career on Stack Overflow is finally complete.
 
Speaking of jokes... OH HAI @Pekka!!
 
 
9:58 PM
Is there any other question that captures the essence of Q & A more eloquently than "What time is it"?
Now I've reached everything.
 
You could try and get a Great Answer for "What Time Is It"
 
@TheRenamedException that is a good point indeed.
 
I suggest: echo time()
 
Voting ring, activate!
 
@Pekka link?
 
10:00 PM
HAHAHAHA
@Moshe perks right up at mention of the voting ring
 
@TheRenamedException I did think about building a PHP script that outputs the current time in MSO's font
 
hahaha that would be hysterical
@DanGrossman has one, but not in MSO's font
 
@TheRenamedException yeah, I may set that up later, should be easy enough to do
 
Speak of the devil
 
10:04 PM
$im = imagecreate(120, 35);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 180, 0, 0);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
imagestring($im, 4, 10, 10, date('h:iA e'), $textcolor);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

I HAS ARRIVED
Nobody tell 'becca
@DanGrossman I'll take that, thank you very much...
 
"Becca"? I'm on board with this
 
@MichaelMrozek especially because it doesn't notify her
It's a way to fly under her radar
 
Pay no attention to him. He's been on the bottom of the laundry pile for too long, I think the fumes have gone to his head
 
10:06 PM
@Pekka EXACTLY! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
@JoshsSocks How long have you been in your master's employ? Where do you come from?
Where were you made? What's a normal business day like for you
I like to use the chance to speak to an American everyday working sock
 
@JoshsSocks getting there, yeah

Q: I am a sockpuppet, may I exist if I have a real purpose?

Josh's SocksI am a sockpuppet account of Josh, AKA The Unhandled Exception. I am going to help him test the XMPP chat integration system he's building. Am I allowed to exist? I promise to behave, and never leave Meta or Meta's chat. If so, may I please have enough rep to chat? EDIT BY JOSH: I have drawn a ...

 
@Pekka Really, you shouldn't encourage him... He's bad enough as it is
 
10:09 PM
@TheRenamedException QUIET YOU!!!!
 
@MichaelMrozek so you'll be getting banned shortly I imagine ... ;)
 
@JoshsSocks you're pretty stylish. Did your master hand make you?
 
@Pekka I have no master! @TheRenamedException is my sockpuppet!!!
 
@drachenstern I've been waiting for weeks; clearly she fears banning me
 
10:10 PM
 
@Pekka My Photoshop skills are lacking :-) But yes, it's my company's logo superimposed on a sock :-)
 
@JoshsSocks prove it.
@TheRenamedException yeah, but nice work! :)
 
@TimStone made my Meta gravatar, my logo superimposed under an Interrobang :-)
 
Heh
 
and doesn't the field say Oy ever so lightly on the boxes?
 
10:12 PM
@drachenstern That's what I said... :-)
@drachenstern It does. A nice touch
 
@TheRenamedException what's that?
 
MY WORLD DOMINATION IS NEARLY COMPLETE @Pekka
 
Nobody beleives you @JoshsSocks
 
<rant> I hate VmWare converter. Rather than transferring a VM directly between 2 ESXi servers (across a 1gbE backbone), it transfers it to my local machine (100mbit) and then back out (again over 100mibt). This is going to take a while... </rant>
 
10:23 PM
 
@JoshsSocks How is that getting oneboxed as an image with a .php extension?
 
@DanGrossman Put a ! in front
 
Oh, neat
 
@JoshsSocks It was cached for me. WORLD DOMINATION FAIL
 
Now with Expires: 1
@Pekka, you want to use that in your answer?
 
10:27 PM
@JoshsSocks You are forbidden from answering questions, you exist solely for testing XMPP. Don't even think about it!
 
lol
 
@Josh oh nice, thanks! I'll try it out straight away.
 
@Pekka It's in Arial, same as the primary front for Meta
Actually, I should make it a transparent PNG
 
@JoshsSocks prove it. No offense, but at the moment, you strike me as a piece of underwear with delusions of grandeur. How about freezing your master's account, or asking a THC related question on Cooking.SE?
4
@JoshsSocks yeah, that would be great, and maybe just a tad smaller?
 
@Pekka *OFFENSE TAKEN!!!!
 
10:29 PM
lol
 
@Pekka AHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
@JoshsSocks I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way
I was just... you know, giving you honest feedback
like pals do
 
ROFLMAO. Don't mind him. He's just a sock. :-)
 
@TheRenamedException AND YOU'RE JUST A STUPID PUPPETMASTER! @RebeccaChernoff! I DEMAND YOU DISABLE THIS MALEVOLENT DICTATOR @TheRenamedException AT ONCE!
@Pekka smaller, sure thing!
 
@JoshsSocks There is a thing called emancipation, you know
 
10:32 PM
@JoshsSocks OMG! You are in so much trouble now. I can't wait to see her response to that. You're dead, socks, dead!
 
The wrath of Becca is terrible to behold
 
 
Bekka
 
Why are there two of Josh?
 
@Pekka awesome
@TylerChacha There's one of me. Feel free to kick my socks out. he's out of control again...
 
10:34 PM
@TheRenamedException maybe remove the white space in the bottom so there is less space between the time and the paragraph below it. Other than that, it's perfect
 
@drachenstern \o/
 
oy with the redactions ...
what the hell am I working on atm
I'm so lost, I don't think I'm actually on target for any task
rather, I don't think I have any tasks to be on target for :\
 
@JoshsSocks perfect!!!!
 
10:42 PM
The Antialiasing doesn't look quite right, but, it's close enough for meta
 
Those images remind me of.....
 
@JoshsSocks yeah. Good job, thanks!!!
 
...wait for it...
I have access to your disk! See! file://c|
 
@Pekka Anytime. :-D
 
@mootinator I actually used to have a client who would upload files to their website with file:/// links in them, pointing to their office's fileserver share
So they were broken for the world, but worked for their staff
And they therefore didn't believe me when i told them they were doing it wrong, LOL
 
10:44 PM
Fantastic...

Apparently I have a lot of linked accounts, but I don't recall making all these linked accounts. Apparently someone has been logging in as me and making me unused accounts on lots of sites on the SE network :\

Pekka What time is it? Where can I see the current server time on Stack Overflow? Click the envelope symbol: Your activity page always has the current time.

It's now actually always correct, LOL

10:52 PM
In fact @Pekka, it does now make it a useful answer :-D I may just use that instead of the envelope
 
this doesn't really need anything but the CSS and the <body> HTML right?
 
@TheRenamedException yeah, that's brilliant!
 
@drachenstern I saw a doctype and stopped reading, LOL
 
@drachenstern questions like that should always have a JSFiddle
 
hahaha
 
10:53 PM
It's so hard to parse HTML in your head
 
@Pekka Hmm, so should I suggest that to him?
 
@drachenstern it does already
 
Ah, it does now
 
oh, well foo :p
 
@TheRenamedException and the upvotes keep coming in. I like the idea of a silver badge for giving somebody the time of day :)
 
10:55 PM
same here, that is awesome :-)
 
@JoshsSocks I'm confused. |:
 
@Pekka lmao
 
@RebeccaChernoff Pay no attention to him. He just needs washing and ironing :-)
 
@TheRenamedException Is he nicer after ironing?
 
please don't iron me again...

@drachenstern, you'll probably think I'm crazy. @TylerChacha, you should listen to it, it's a piece of history. You may or may not liek it. @Moshe, stay away from ELP, I think it may blow your mind :-)
@drachenstern ^^
