Hey, I'm trying to not collide and cause a fistfight

But I will gladly let either of you revert stuff. Also consider my last edit before my revert.

However, it's in the record so I'm good with that ;)

damn it's already 7? shit

I love that this guy (gal?) says "oh nobody didn't like envelope, what are you talking about silly oldtimer?"

Zypher

@Zypher what the hell did you do this time George?

> Meta Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance

Zypher

it's called silencing ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE ENTHUSIEST

drachenstern

I am no ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE ENTHUSIEST

nor am I an ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE ENTHUSIAST

However, I also do not intend on killing anything living, so can I pretty please get onto meta? :p

Zypher

@drachenstern sure

drachenstern

@Zypher :p thank you

Rebecca Chernoff

but just for him, right @Zypher?

Zypher

12:39 AM

haha

just wait :)

(I wasn't saying it was down for me, I didn't even look, I was just being sarcastic...)

drachenstern

I love fast string concat methods, where I can turn 30 lines of c# code into 180 lines of SQL and not have to manipulate even one line of the output SQL ... and still have a consistent user experience for all my error messages :D

Hey @RebeccaChernoff while you're here ...

Is this status-declined or do I still stand some hope?

Q: Read-only peer-review mode for mods cross-domain.

Consider this: I am currently a pro-tem mod on <shame less="plug">http://dba.stackexchange.com</shame> and I want to get (for instance) @ChrisF to review a pending moderation item, since he's a moderator on http://programmers.stackexchange.com. It would be nice if there were a way to give ...

discussion feature-request moderator-abilities

Rebecca Chernoff

I'm lukewarm about that personally

Things like mod flags you can just link to the post itself...

Oh nice, someone is joining me a stl meetup (;

drachenstern

nice!

Rebecca Chernoff

that's what I said!

drachenstern

12:54 AM

Ok, well if you're lukewarm then that means it's not totally dumb.

@RebeccaChernoff :p ~ But still, I'm happy for you. I'm hoping to see someone jump on "Downtown" in the next couple days, so I can be giddyhappy too ;)

Rebecca Chernoff

@drachenstern Heh. Well, what's the use case?

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff I thought I lined one out in the situation there.

I'll reiter tho

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff yes yes, what about user annotations?

Can't link to those can we?

What about site statistics? There's lots of mod only tools that are site-mod-eyes-only

Rebecca Chernoff

There was a request for that from before I was hired I think.

drachenstern

12:57 AM

So anyways, just for that group of things that maybe you need someone more experienced to explain, at the times when there aren't dev's about to help out.

@RebeccaChernoff yeah, that's the problem with meta, finding old posts :\

if it can be shown as a dupe I'll proudly have mine closed (which you already know of course)

Rebecca Chernoff

To Google!

drachenstern

Also, if it's a dupe, then that means there's been a longstanding desire for that opportunity.

Yeah, my googlefu here is weak, I don't know what to search for in the first place

Zypher

Dear verizon please stop shoving the iPhone in my face ... if i wanted it i wouldn't have checked the "Don't show me this again" checkboxes

Rebecca Chernoff

> Dear @Zypher, your message has been received. You will continue to receive these messages so that you do not miss this wonderful opportunity!

Zypher

hmm no ... that's not right at all ...

Am i only only person that "Integrated Social Networking" doesn't count as a feature?

drachenstern

> Dear @Zypher we understand that you might not understand how marketing works. Please do not doubt us. Resistance is futile. We will assimilate you. You will enjoy it.

> Dear @Zypher Can you hear we now?

@Zypher no.

Zypher

@drachenstern hmm so you are supplying hookers with your phones now?

drachenstern

If that's how you read that, then sure

Zypher

1:52 AM

haha

hmmm

what about 4G and hookers?

drachenstern

@Zypher well, I don't think any charge that much by the hour, but sure.

Zypher

hahaha

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff I is not alone in "Downtown"

Zypher

wait ... wtf ... the Thunderbold is ... 274 w/ 1 year contract and 244-30 = 214 with a two year

that sounds like a rip off

300$ off for the first year, and .... 40 for the second ?

drachenstern

Yes it does

Rebecca Chernoff

1:55 AM

@drachenstern awesome!

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff XD

I is not alone!!

Zypher

@drachenstern sweeet

drachenstern

Jup

now if only VS would hurry it's ass up

Zypher

hahaha

Rebecca Chernoff

meetup.com/everywhere shall we start a pool on how many people and/or cities we get? (;

drachenstern

1:58 AM

I don't understand what you mean here

Zypher

do you mean pool ?

Rebecca Chernoff

@Zypher what are you talking about? that's what I said.

drachenstern

oh, nm, I understand now (/me too much code dancing in my brainbox)

Zypher

@RebeccaChernoff haha ...

Mark Elliot

so maybe it's just me, but the old color scheme was easier to "at a glance" deal with

drachenstern

2:02 AM

It's split. Some agree with you, some agree with me.

Zypher

gahhhhhh

the power just went out on my train

Mark Elliot

@drachenstern it's not that the old way was more aesthetic, just that it was more obvious

Rebecca Chernoff

Surely a sign of an impending zombie attack!

Zypher

ooooo zombies

drachenstern

My wife makes a very compelling argument. It's after nine. I'm going home. (the argument was that it's after nine)

Q: Can we get an enhanced style for Super User and Server Fault?

Ever since the new Area51 sites have been leaving beta and getting new styles, Super User and Server Fault have been patiently sitting with their current theme... which is fine, but they do look a little plain when compared to some of the other StackExchange sites. Yes, Jin has done an amazing j...
