[2007-06-08 04:34:54] - frickin enter key, well at least it linked that time. - pierce
[2007-06-08 04:34:36] - hey! why come no automatical linkage? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU
[2007-06-08 04:04:33] - these guys are getting an HBO show... here's a great clip of their performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU - pierce
[2007-06-08 02:53:46] - amy: good luck at your show! - pierce
[2007-06-07 21:41:30] - I've got a show tomorrow (Friday the 8th, so "today" to you I guess) at Stacy's Coffee Parlor in Falls Church @ 7.30 -amy
[2007-06-07 16:30:18] - gah. don't most prisoners have, at the very least, mild depression? ~a
[2007-06-07 16:24:34] - a: Depression? -Paul
[2007-06-07 16:24:13] - in reality, what were the medical reasons? ~a
[2007-06-07 16:08:06] - Gurkie: The way I figure it, it wouldn't cost a lot of money to make and with the way certain things are selling for mad amounts of money, it could potentially be very lucrative.
-Paul[2007-06-07 16:02:19] - a: "Medical reasons" -- Xpovos
[2007-06-07 16:01:43] - gurkie: Close enough. I think it was day 2 of 40, but even then, it's a sad commentary. She'll be serving the rest under 'house arrest'. -- Xpovos
[2007-06-07 16:00:55] - gurkie: that sucks! how did this happen? ~a
[2007-06-07 15:49:22] - disclaimer: I may have made up the length of time associated to her sentence and to her original sentence...~gurkie
[2007-06-07 15:48:42] - did you guys hear? Paris Hilton got released from prison after serving 3 days of her 27 day sentence. Which was supposed to be 45 days, but got knocked down for good behavior at the hearing which she was late too... ~gurkie
[2007-06-07 15:47:33] - i think the webpage hosting message boards idea could be a good one... but you would have to have a login... otherwise its too easy to do something sketchy~gurkie
[2007-06-07 14:02:54] - let's talk about our FEEEEEEEELINGS
[2007-06-07 13:58:41] - a: I hardly know about it myself. -Paul
[2007-06-07 13:57:54] - paul: i don't know what website you're talking about i guess. ~a
[2007-06-07 13:57:14] - vinnie: i'm good with sfm. ~a
[2007-06-07 13:54:38] - ddrp: I guess sfm again? does anyone know if nvcc is fixed? - vinnie
[2007-06-07 13:31:41] - million dollar message board idea
[2007-06-07 13:29:50] - a: No, no. Not that. it was somewhat like slashdot except with far less functionality. -Paul
[2007-06-07 13:28:26] - paul: that worked because of the hype and the marketing. not because it was actually useful at all. ~a
[2007-06-07 13:28:06] - paul: you mean the $1million webpage? ~a
[2007-06-07 13:27:11] - a: I mean, wasn't there some website created by some UVA grad which was essentially just a place for people to post links and it sold for millions of dollars? -Paul
[2007-06-07 13:27:03] - how to create a new thread
[2007-06-07 13:26:35] - a: Logging in would be nice, but as far as I can tell, the twitter thing is really feature-lite. Besides, there is something to be said for simplicity too. -Paul
[2007-06-07 13:19:18] - paul: i think the general public wouldn't like the message board because it doesn't have all the nice features people demand. like . . . logins, being able to edit posts, inline threading (i've added non-inline threading). etc etc. ~a
[2007-06-07 13:15:27] - a: You could make millions of dollars.
-Paul[2007-06-07 13:14:50] - a: And I was thinking maybe there would be an interest in a site which hosted like thousands of individual customized message boards for people. -Paul
[2007-06-07 13:11:41] - a: Well, we were playing around with something called "twitter" or something today and it sounded like a somewhat inferior version of the message board.
-Paul[2007-06-07 13:06:32] - i assume that's not what you're looking for? ~a
[2007-06-07 13:03:56] - paul: i actually just created a new threading system if you want to create your own thread. ~a
[2007-06-07 12:55:25] - I wonder if there is any kind of web-site which allows people to easily create their own message boards, kinda like this site. -Paul
[2007-06-07 12:10:36] - mig: i believe that's how hddvd and bluray were hacked (css was a different story). usually the engineers were stupid enough to store the private decryption keys in plaintext in memory. ~a
[2007-06-07 11:49:49] - http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6189011.html?tag=nl.e550 an article on why drm will never work. - mig
[2007-06-07 07:40:51] - aba: and I think i have your same dislikes, about people being irrational -dave
[2007-06-07 07:40:04] - aba: I can't remember you ever having said they were stupid -dave
[2007-06-06 16:44:29] - dave: so i suppose it would be irrelevant to me if someone openly professed to being christian (as opposed to someone stating that we need to bring christ back into public schools). - aba
[2007-06-06 16:43:23] - dave: i definitely don't think that religiously minded folks are stupid (and i hope i've never given you that impression). i do however dislike people who are fanatic to the point of being illogical and irrational. i also dislike people who feel that their own personal beliefs should supercede over the constitution when it comes to the country as a whole. - aba
[2007-06-06 15:59:01] - i said that i wished it was irrelevant. you're glad it isn't irrelevant i guess. ~a
[2007-06-06 14:56:42] - a: I have to admit, I thought you'd have SOME kind of reaction rather than this "no-reaction" you appear to be having -dave
[2007-06-06 14:56:02] - a: actually i'm not sure how it makes me feel. On the one hand i was like, wow, that's kinda cool that they could say something like that. On the other hand, it's like, hmm, if they're just saying that for political reasons, that's not so nice -dave
[2007-06-06 14:48:50] - gah! ~a
[2007-06-06 14:48:43] - i think they're stupid? ~a
[2007-06-06 14:46:34] - dave: how does it make you feel? ~a
[2007-06-06 14:46:32] - dave: vehemently?
~a[2007-06-06 14:34:22] - a: if it makes you feel better, an opinion article for WashPost believes they are all just playing politics and don't really ascribe to the beliefs at all. But then the question becomes how you feel about someone who does things like that for purely political reasons -dave
[2007-06-06 14:32:55] - a: and I was just curious as to your reaction to all the dem candidates embracing something that you oftentimes vehemently disagree with -dave
[2007-06-06 14:32:09] - a: I dunno, I guess I just feel like you or others have a definite opinion on religiously minded folks - as in, you've stated that they're pretty stupid or somesuch -dave
[2007-06-06 14:21:49] - a: if you read the pdf on that page, the OCR algorithm is very simple - aaron
[2007-06-06 13:46:43] - aaron: now that i've actually tried the program i'm sad to say that i think it sucks. it recognizes less than half of the letters that i consider completely legible. ~a
[2007-06-06 13:43:28] - oh, oops. i forgot the .txt file! ~a
[2007-06-06 13:38:48] - paul: I don't necessarily speak for everyone, but for me it's not about what label they give themselves. If their flavor of agnosticism disagreed with my values then it wouldn't be any different from their flavor of christianity or islam or wicca disagreeing with my values. - pierce
[2007-06-06 13:37:28] - aaron: it doesn't seem to work on my computer. i can write numbers, but then when i write "=" it doesn't do anything. ~a
[2007-06-06 13:34:05] - a: Would you prefer a democratic candidate who was a professed agnostic? -Paul
[2007-06-06 13:25:01] - http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/OMGWTF-Finalist-06-OMG!OCRCAL.aspx OMG!OCRCALC - aaron
[2007-06-06 13:14:34] - i wish it was irrelevant. ~a
[2007-06-06 13:13:39] - dave: i'm not surprised. i guess i don't understand the question. i think that they're "as christian" as their republican counterparts. ~a
[2007-06-06 12:17:13] - democrats: what are your thoughts on all the dem candidates professing strong "christian" faiths? -dave
[2007-06-06 09:59:50] - filled with rum! ~a
[2007-06-06 09:19:05] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass hehe check out the shot glass - aaron
[2007-06-05 17:44:33] - a: (from the article) - aaron
[2007-06-05 17:44:22] - a: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kramer%27s_ASSMAN_plates.jpg lol - aaron
[2007-06-05 16:34:34] - in some states it varies by county. ~a
[2007-06-05 16:33:08] - U.S. and Canadian license plates#Current standard-issue passenger plate numbering ~a
[2007-06-05 16:31:01] - you don't get out much, do you? ~a
[2007-06-05 16:02:39] - a: Ah, I didn't know if varied by state. -Paul
[2007-06-05 15:37:38] - virginia: (from observation) used to be AAA-###, now is AAA-####. ~a
[2007-06-05 15:36:51] - paul: you're thinking of virginia. ~a
[2007-06-05 15:01:40] - Aaron: Weird, I didn't think that the first three characters were a mix of letter and numbers. -Paul
[2007-06-05 14:53:51] - http://www.snopes.com/photos/risque/license.asp hey wow, i always figured this was a myth or a vanity plate... but it's actually a random-issue plate. poor guy - aaron
[2007-06-05 13:20:45] - anonymous: the earth isn't expanding. ~a
[2007-06-05 12:14:58] - If the universe is constantly expanding, why does it always take me exactly 26 minutes to walk to work every day?
[2007-06-05 11:50:50] - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/04/AR2007060401966.html?hpid=topnews Wow, I should be a metro employee. -Paul
[2007-06-05 10:35:19] - aaron: yeah. it's been doing ok the last few weeks. though i've been in the black on and off for months now. i bought at 18. ~a
[2007-06-05 09:46:15] - a: i think you're finally in the black on your saic stock - aaron
[2007-06-05 00:24:47] - it was intentional
- pierce[2007-06-05 00:21:29] - Pierce: Cool, thanks, I'll take a look. By the way, you totally sound like a commercial and not a real person with that suggestion.
-Paul[2007-06-04 23:51:12] - paul: I think they usually show a rerun of the previous night at like 8pm, but check your local listings. - pierce
[2007-06-04 23:20:33] - a: Damn, I meant to record it but I forgot. Maybe it'll be on tomorrow as a repeat? -paul
[2007-06-04 23:01:08] - ron paul on the daily show! ~a
[2007-06-04 17:40:38] - a: sadly no. instead i get a really long commute and need to be able to start working with JSF by 9 am Wed. ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 17:28:23] - gurkie: no more benching! ~a
[2007-06-04 16:07:09] - Paul: I just tossed that one out as an example. I think the opportunity to buy beer at Game Parlor would make me go more often, but then again, I could be wrong. I tend to get tired of hanging around those people quickly. -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 16:06:18] - Augh! My secret identity has been revealed! - Andrew
[2007-06-04 15:58:42] - fyi... im starting a project in chevy chase on wednesday ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 15:31:45] - Yeesh, I must really be doing things a little too fast if I'm putting the wrong names down on the message board now. -Paul
[2007-06-04 15:28:53] - Andrew: Drinking games is one thing, but can you imagine people going to a gaming bar on a semi-weekly basis like they might for a pool hall? -Paul
[2007-06-04 14:17:51] - Paul: Actually, I don't think you have enough... given that this is Ron Paul we're talking about. -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 14:01:38] - a: I think I have too much political baggage to be his running mate. -Paul
[2007-06-04 13:44:21] - or better yet, paul essen '08.
~a[2007-06-04 13:43:46] - paul: you should be ron paul's running mate after he magically takes the primaries. so then it will be paul paul '08. ~a
[2007-06-04 13:39:01] - Whoops, that was me. -Paul
[2007-06-04 13:38:57] - aba: I agree with Andrew. I think Ron Paul would be happy being this election's Howard Dean but I don't think he is there yet.
[2007-06-04 12:05:46] - Paul: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/12632 I think it would be incredibly easy and fun to convert this to a drinking board game. -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 12:04:24] - aba: I'll grant Ron Paul is not electable. Doesn't mean he's not fun to watch. And I think Howard Dean had a better shot. I mean the MSM actually paid attention to him, and he raised lots of money. Neither of those is true for Paul. -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 12:02:34] - ron paul seems like this election's howard dean. lots of buzz and internet momentum but eventually probably not electable. - aba
[2007-06-04 11:58:05] - a: so i guess i depend on it now, but i'd much rather have it than not. *shrug* - aba
[2007-06-04 11:57:26] - a: i am mildly hearing impaired, so cc really helps me. when i watch tv/movies without it, i can generally get by but i end up missing out on parts of the dialogue. - aba
[2007-06-04 11:13:11] - Xpovos: Seriously. Although now I'm seriously wondering if it's a good idea to associate playing board games with drinking. -Paul
[2007-06-04 11:11:30] - xpovos: I can't tell based on the first few paragraphs if they mean he's blowing up in a good way or bad way.
-Paul[2007-06-04 11:10:10] - Paul: Stupid VA ABC -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 11:08:30] - Gurkie: Game store, maybe. Game bar, I'm not so sure. -Paul
[2007-06-04 10:46:16] - a: i guess it has to do with how you grow up. If my dad even suspected you had stepped in dog crap he wont let the shoes come inside the house they have to be removed/washed outside... ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 10:44:58] - . . . it eventually decomposes. ~a
[2007-06-04 10:44:37] - gurkie: as opposed to some families that leave it there for months on end. ask lori what her parents' back yard looks like. ~a
[2007-06-04 10:42:36] - a: yea ... but do you really want your lawn full o dog shit while you wait for the doody calls people to come? I mean... what you have them come once a week that means during the week you prolly dont want to play in the yard... ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 10:41:26] - gurkie: i think it's for people who have a lawn of their own and they don't want to go around picking it up. ~a
[2007-06-04 10:40:19] - paul: if they can have a successful franchised business out of cleaning up dog crap you can succeed at a game store
~gurkie[2007-06-04 10:37:34] - a: kinda... i wrote it and then was like heh ill leave it. ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 10:37:20] - gurkie: http://www.doodycalls.com/services_residential_overview.asp -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 10:37:01] - gurkie: i assume the pun was intentional. ~a
[2007-06-04 10:35:57] - http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/06/02/ron_paul/index.html "Ron Paul is blowing up" -- Xpovos
[2007-06-04 10:34:17] - i saw a truck for a company called Doody Calls... apparently they are the premier pet waste remover... Is there really a market for that? Dont people just throw that shit out? ~gurkie
[2007-06-04 09:26:15] - aba: I do the same thing with DVDs a lot. I got tired of having to rewind to try to hear what somebody whispered or mumbled. -Paul
[2007-06-04 09:06:40] - well i guess i understand sarcasm then. ~a
[2007-06-04 03:08:43] - a: only cumbags don't understand sarcasm - pierce
[2007-06-04 02:01:31] - aba: are you afraid you'll begin to depend on the CC to understand spoken dialog? ~a
[2007-06-04 01:45:12] - a: because it helps me catch dialogue that is either too quiet or too slurred for me to otherwise understand. - aba
[2007-06-03 22:38:42] - pierce: cumbag isn't a word. aba: why do you watch tv with closed captioning turned on? ~a
[2007-06-03 21:40:36] - a: i often watch tv with closed captioning turned on, and i was surprised to notice that while the audio dialogue is censored the captioning is generally not. - aba
[2007-06-03 20:38:21] - a: did you hear the "S" at the beginning? maybe they were censoring "cumbag" - pierce
[2007-06-03 12:33:44] - i was watching a movie on tbs, and i heard them censor "scumbag". i didn't know that scumbag was a bad word! ~a
[2007-06-01 22:54:04] - I like the title pun. It's witty and clever. - Kaleb
[2007-06-01 19:44:02] - vinnie: oh you beat me to it - aaron
[2007-06-01 19:43:01] - vinnie: charles nelson reilly died this week
- aaron[2007-06-01 15:47:09] - aba: We actually just hired two people with hardly any computer experience at all (definitely less than you have). -Paul
[2007-06-01 15:46:44] - aba: We're definitely looking for developers but we might be looking for other positions also. They weren't 100% clear on that. -Paul
[2007-06-01 15:37:48] - they can't touchtype, so they just wing it - vinnie
[2007-06-01 15:37:15] - silly, chickens can't type! - vinnie
[2007-06-01 15:37:01] - anyway they want to - vinnie
[2007-06-01 15:35:51] - or chicken fingers. ~a
[2007-06-01 15:35:29] - or hunt and peck. ~a
[2007-06-01 15:35:09] - title: something to do with chicken scratch? ~a
[2007-06-01 15:25:08] - aba: i think it's more likely that you wouldn't want to work for intwine than intwine wouldn't want to hire you. ~a
[2007-06-01 15:19:49] - paul: i'm looking for a job, but i doubt intwine would want to hire me. - aba
[2007-06-01 15:03:33] - our favorite match game panelist, more accurately - vinnie
[2007-06-01 15:03:06] - rip out favorite match game contestant http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070528/ap_on_en_tv/obit_reilly_4 - vinnie
[2007-06-01 12:25:33] - Paul: I'll second a's comment. Perhaps you can recommend yourself? Negotiate a higher salary and get the referral bonus too! -- Xpovos
[2007-06-01 12:24:51] - Fucking apostraphe.
[2007-06-01 12:24:45] - Paul: I
[2007-06-01 12:24:40] - Paul: I
[2007-06-01 12:23:22] - i want to make you 2500, but i'm not looking for a new job. ~a
[2007-06-01 12:21:35] - So, we were told Intwine is hiring again so if anybody wants to make me $2500 (or is looking for a new job) let me know.
-Paul[2007-05-31 17:18:54] - a: no, there wasn't last week - aaron
[2007-05-31 17:04:14] - aaron: is there a place near the front to park temporarily? ~a
[2007-05-31 17:00:35] - i've been seeing an "input signal not found" error the past 2 weeks or so - aaron
[2007-05-31 17:00:13] - the power switch is about 18 inches off the ground, on the back of the machine near the right side - aaron
[2007-05-31 16:59:55] - vinnie: the monitor's been unhooked lately, so just make sure the machine is on (plugged in, and the power switch is on) and after turning it on, give it a minute to see if it starts up OK - aaron
[2007-05-31 16:53:35] - I meant without paying money to go to park at nvcc. and even then, the machine could be broken in another way... - vinnie
[2007-05-31 16:51:11] - *guessing* put in a dollar and see what happens? ~a
[2007-05-31 16:48:33] - aaron: how do I check? - vinnie
[2007-05-31 16:47:25] - vinnie: not for me this week. ~a
[2007-05-31 16:47:01] - vinnie: i don't know. do you mind checking? - aaron
[2007-05-31 16:34:36] - a: your proposal is denied. - sun
[2007-05-31 16:15:47] - ddrp: sfm again? is the machine at nvcc still broken? - vinnie
[2007-05-31 15:45:31] - a: pretty much everything in Apache Commons is stuff that should be somewhere else. StringUtils.join is a big one, i don't know why sun decided to provide "split" and not "join" - aaron
[2007-05-31 15:39:30] - aaron: my proposal was for that function to exist IN Integer. it's a very useful function. ~a
[2007-05-31 15:34:14] - javapeople: u guys make me laugh! ~gurkie
[2007-05-31 15:30:56] - a: paste that in somewhere in your code, just make sure you adhere to the.... uhhh.... GNFDL - aaron
[2007-05-31 15:30:02] - a: well lucky for you it's open source so here: public static int toInt(String s,int d){if(s==null) {return d;}try{return Integer.parseInt(s);}catch(NumberFormatException n){return d;}} - aaron
[2007-05-31 15:10:53] - apache commons is why there are so many unwed pregnant teenagers in recent years. ~a
[2007-05-31 15:09:36] - a: why do you spread such lies? - mig
[2007-05-31 15:08:17] - apache commons is the TOOL of the DEVIL! ~a
[2007-05-31 15:01:28] - mig: because i just don't. ~a
[2007-05-31 14:56:41] - a: and you don't because? - mig
[2007-05-31 14:20:47] - aaron: which requires that i have apache commons. ~a
[2007-05-31 14:15:35] - a: org.apache.commons.lang.math.NumberUtils.toInt("fdsa", 5) - aaron
[2007-05-31 14:10:29] - javapeople: i propose a useful addition to java.lang.Integer: Integer.parseIntDefault( String input, int default ) { try { return parseInt( input ); } catch( NumberFormatException nfe ) {return default;} } ~a
[2007-05-31 09:39:47] - vinnie: yeah, it blew my mind. i'm guessing they transcribed the song to piano themselves too - aaron
[2007-05-31 09:31:38] - aaron: I've seen it before, when I was trying to learn the chords to Murmur Twins. pretty fucking impressive - vinnie
[2007-05-31 01:53:23] - aaron, heh. that's pretty cool. not too many people in the audience though. ~a
[2007-05-30 23:11:09] - vamy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v84LvKUhLds a cool piano duet of "murmur twins" - aaron
[2007-05-30 16:52:58] - aaron: haha. wp. ~a
[2007-05-30 16:19:59] - a: wait were you talking about the wikipedia thing or the missuniverse thing - aaron
[2007-05-30 14:49:33] - a: i was gonna do #2 - aaron
[2007-05-30 13:42:55] - if you're asking which i would do . . . i'd probably do number #2. ~a
[2007-05-30 13:41:31] - 4. re-create the "Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich" section in the UHF page if you think it belongs. ~a
[2007-05-30 13:41:12] - 4. re-create a "Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich"
[2007-05-30 13:40:59] - ummm. to answer your question, you have four options in my opinion. 1. remove the sentence from the WAL page if you think it doesn't belong. 2. remove the link around "Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich" especially since it's a mostly redundand link anyways. 3. point the "Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich" link to a whole new article if you think the subject deserves an article... ~a
[2007-05-30 13:37:49] - not to confuse things any further but someone just vandalized that page. i removed the vandalism. ~a
[2007-05-30 13:34:41] - hmm. ~a
[2007-05-30 13:27:41] - a: the "weird al yankovic" wikipedia article links to the "twinkie weiner sandwich" article which is a redirect to the "uhf" article which has no mention of the sandwich. this seems like a problem to me. how would you fix it - aaron
[2007-05-30 12:05:48] - "famous" example my ass. ~a
[2007-05-30 12:04:56] - aaron: yep. ~a
[2007-05-30 11:50:14] - a: i went to the wikipedia spoilers page looking for the spoiler but you removed it
- aaron[2007-05-30 09:05:44] - Sam: Miss Korea has a better name.
-Paul[2007-05-29 23:51:16] - a: that's ok, I got it

[2007-05-29 23:44:35] - paul: this is from missuniverse.com.... Miss Korea and Miss Japan -sam
[2007-05-29 23:44:20] - sam: do you want me to fix it? ~a
[2007-05-29 23:42:36] - ARGGGGGG.......
[2007-05-29 23:42:13] - paul: this is from missuniverse.com.... Miss Korea</a> and <a href="http://www.missuniverse.com/delegates/2007/files/JP.html">Miss Japan

[2007-05-29 18:28:05] - how deliciously anti-ironic. the wp article on spoilers spoiled the next harry potter movie for me. ~a
[2007-05-29 18:05:47] - aaron: no problem. ~a
[2007-05-29 18:02:11] - a: Gratitude - aaron

[2007-05-29 14:13:47] - Incidents at Disney parks
[2007-05-29 14:13:29] - aaron: to link to en.wikipedia, you can use the [[]] notation and the [[|]] notation. ~a
[2007-05-29 13:56:00] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidents_at_Disney_parks a good read on various casualties / indecent things happening at disney parks - aaron
[2007-05-29 13:55:36] - kaleb: i'll have to check that out when i get home - aaron
[2007-05-29 12:58:35] - kaleb: that was an awesome video. i especially liked the part near the end with the spring where he's juggling like 3-4 objects. - aba
[2007-05-29 12:23:00] - Oops, hit the enter key by accident... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmpbFDc8ZCA -- It's from a rom hack based on Super Mario World. Spent the weekend playing it and other great ones, such as Zelda: Parallel Worlds. ~Kaleb~
[2007-05-29 12:20:25] - not sure who all loves SNES or mario, but this is a neat video
[2007-05-29 11:15:21] - gurkie: in that situation, i'd probably spend my entire time finding out which project i wanted to move onto. ~a
[2007-05-29 11:07:58] - a: Thanks, good suggestion and I'll keep it in mind, but I was looking for something older, history wise. -- Xpovos
[2007-05-29 11:04:52] - a: so you end up sitting around waiting for a new project, since im at this company though while you are on the bench you need to be learning... which is cool
but I am beginning to wonder if im dorky enough for my job. ~gurkie[2007-05-29 11:03:58] - a: well id prolly start reading a book but then expand it to a fake project depending on how long im on the bench. For consulting companies the bench is basically when you dont have a current project. ~gurkie
[2007-05-29 10:54:49] - gurkie: i also feel like knowing j2ee design concepts, and hibernate are important. i'll vote for them too. i would of course suggest php, but php is only important if you're doing web development. how are you going to go about learning this technology? will you be doing some hands-on fake-project? or will you just be reading a book? ~a
[2007-05-29 10:52:06] - gurkie: oh i read that as "while i am on the beach". what is "the bench"? ~a
[2007-05-29 10:50:44] - a: use it at work... basically our responsibility while we are on the bench is to keep ourselves marketable. so like ruby on rails, hibernate... ive had someone suggest i read a book on J2EE design... ~gurkie
[2007-05-29 10:47:11] - not unusual. but it is the rest of those things. ~a
[2007-05-29 10:31:13] - xpovos: you've been to the "new" air and space museum in dulles? ~a
[2007-05-29 10:29:19] - gurkie: what is your end goal? being able to use this technology on the web? being able to use this technology to write standalone applications? being able to use this technology at work? ~a
[2007-05-29 09:58:52] - Assistance requested: I am looking for something to do weekend next: June 8-10. Preferably June 8th or 9th. It should be unusual, historical (i.e. about history, in some fashion), and local, or if not historical, local and highly unusual, but entertaining. -- Xpovos
[2007-05-29 09:58:07] - if i have to study some technology i dont really know while i am on the bench, do you guys have any suggestions of something interesting? ~gurkie
[2007-05-28 19:56:06] - if that's not acceptable, let me know. ~a
[2007-05-28 19:48:54] - pierce: ok, there are div tags and their id is the date/time. it'll be unique unless people most more than once in a second. ~a
[2007-05-28 19:35:11] - pierce: also: http://aporter.org/msg/?template=Piercewiki uses http://wiki.aporter.org/index.php?title=Piercewiki . template variable must be [a-zA-Z0-9_]. ~a
[2007-05-28 19:34:11] - pierce: oops. i missed your last post. hmmm. ~a
[2007-05-28 19:31:52] - pierce: fyi: i added the date&time into the $RECENT variable, but i'm not sure what you mean by javascript-friendly markup. checkout "documentation" (if you will). ~a
[2007-05-28 19:29:57] - a: well having each comment in its own <div> tag would be the top priority, ideally with a uniquely-identifiable "id" attribute. working a timestamp in there somehow would be great too but if you don't have easy access to that data then it's not strictly necessary for my idea. - pierce
[2007-05-28 18:28:59] - pierce: what exactly is javascript-friendly markup? you want it to be parseable using javascript's split? ~a
[2007-05-28 12:32:41] - pierce: http://nymag.com/nightlife/mating/25988/ -title
[2007-05-28 07:29:30] - title: I gotta ask the origin of that quote. - pierce
[2007-05-26 15:33:35] - paul: it was extremely buggy, yes. the first game had a few glitches but nothing dealbreaking, but this one barely seemed tested for any behavior beyond pure-light-side or pure-dark-side. it also randomly reset a few times, and there were tons of typos and misspellings in the text and inconsistencies between the speech and the subtitles. - pierce
[2007-05-26 13:22:42] - a: thanks. it just occurred to me that i must have made my own login to the wiki, it wasn't something that you had set up. and that i could have made my own new login probably. oh well now i can login yay -amy
[2007-05-26 11:11:54] - pierce: those both sound like easy features. i'm pretty busy today though, i'll give it a shot tomorrow. ~a
[2007-05-26 09:59:23] - Pierce: Also, I'm not surprised the saved game system was so messed up. I heard the game was buggy as hell on the xbox. -Paul
[2007-05-26 09:58:58] - Pierce: KotOR 2? You're probably better off having missed the final cutscene. Seriously. The end of that game was craptacular. -Paul
[2007-05-26 06:28:57] - a: also, have you considered incorporating some way to specify which wiki page should be used as the template? in other words, http://aporter.org/msg/piercewiki would use http://wiki.aporter.org/index.php?title=piercewiki as a template. Then people could customize their view, and it could also be a development environment so people don't screw up the main page. - pierce
[2007-05-26 06:19:28] - a: would you consider constructing the $RECENT variable with more javascript-friendly markup? and potentially add timestamp information if you have it? I had an idea for some stuff to add to the message board template (or a greasemonkey script) to better indicate the recency of posts but I can't do it with the information that's there. - pierce
[2007-05-26 04:13:57] - (really ending the whine here) - pierce
[2007-05-26 04:13:36] - but seriously, 25 megs for a saved game? GTA does it with less than 100k each. - pierce
[2007-05-26 04:10:15] - (end whine) - pierce
[2007-05-26 04:09:36] - guess when it happened? the autosave right after the final boss fight in KotOR 2. It kicked me back to the xbox bios menu to free some space, but when I did it didn't bring me back into the game to show the ending cutscenes. >< - pierce
[2007-05-26 04:08:02] - my xbox ran out of disk space, I really didn't expect that to ever happen. the reason, as it turns out? star wars: knights of the old republic and KotOR II saved games take up 25 mb each, and the default behavior when you save your game is to create a new save game file. - pierce
[2007-05-25 21:04:38] - *** pierce crosses his fingers.
