Root Access

7:42 AM

@TomWijsman hmm... In work, managed to log on straight away, no problems

I had a problem a few days ago that Remote Desktop just launched to a black session/couldn't do a thing... I just rebooted... Wonder if it related

Oliver Salzburg

9:42 AM

@WilliamHilsum Check your TPM ;D

William Hilsum

:(

no idea if that is a joke by the face, but, no TPM here! just going to reboot before I leave tonight

jokerdino

;D

trusted platform module

Oliver Salzburg

@WilliamHilsum Well, I think a defective TPM could cause an error like that (and many others). But I don't even know if anyone can "check your TPM" :P

William Hilsum

@OliverSalzburg I suppose if you have things encrpyted against it or used bitlocker/similar, it would just fail

Oliver Salzburg

@WilliamHilsum From the error message I assumed a critical piece of hardware is defective. Like something required for authentication or decryption

William Hilsum

9:47 AM

@OliverSalzburg Hmm... well, when I got in, it let me log in to that machine straight away

bloody annoying and nothing in the log

Oliver Salzburg

Oh it happens when you remote in? I thought this happens locally. Sorry should have read the log

It could be a bit more specific which of the 2 systems it means then :D

HaydnWVN

10:19 AM

Typical windows "something attached to the system is not blah" errors are usually a service or something that's failed to restart - kinda why a reboot usually resolves them

Boris_yo

10:50 AM

@soandos Beyond? You mean it's quite good?

jokerdino

11:34 AM

@iglvzx grats for hitting 10k!

Oliver Salzburg

@jokerdino Did that just happen?

jokerdino

yeah

Oliver Salzburg

Sweet! :D

@iglvzx Congrats ;)

Bob

o.O

Good job, @iglvzx!

(now you just need another 10k) :P

@JourneymanGeek Smart judge, if it was intentional :P

Journeyman Geek

ya!

@Bob: Just to note, my next eventual target now is 50K

jokerdino

11:44 AM

no reason to amass rep anymore. i am gonna spend on bounties.

Journeyman Geek

lol

jokerdino

10k is plentiful enough

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: Oh, I give more in bounties than i get

Sathya

'grats @iglvzx!

Journeyman Geek

(and if i think a question deserves a bounty it gets it) ;p

But, to some extent, its 'easier' if i have a target ;p

jokerdino

11:47 AM

that is a good target ;P

in Ask Ubuntu General Room, 1 min ago, by ObsessiveFOSS

I believe the world will end soon: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11061905/java-cp-class-not-found/11061925#11061925 has downvotes and it's by Jon Skeet.

Journeyman Geek

I'll gladly post a bounty for ANY question i find interesting enough, and seems to have a chance of having an answer

HaydnWVN

i don't seem to amass points much anymore, spend more time reading, commenting and flagging as don't really have enough time for what i would consider complete and concise answers

Ivo Flipse

@HaydnWVN That happens to all of us

Worse, our voting is so skewed compared to other sites that its not even funny anymore

Gilles has 90+k rep on Unix and only 19k rep SU

jokerdino

he almost has 10k rep on AU.

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse So?

jokerdino

11:55 AM

he is a bot.

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg Which means at some point the reward for answering questions gets too low

HaydnWVN

yeah, 'divide and conquer' really doesn't help having a 'central' group of knowlegable users... More 'pockets of expertise'

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse Ah

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg It took me like a year to get to 10k rep. The amount of work required for a question to get 10+ upvotes at some point just gets too much to be done casually

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse Indeed.

Ivo Flipse

11:57 AM

Also unix has 20x less traffic than SU, so you have your voting bias right there

On SU you need to write a frigging essay to get upvoted

On top of which a lot of questions are just crap, which isn't our fault either

btw @OliverSalzburg Y U NO MODERATOR NOMINATION?!?

2

Oliver Salzburg

I find that small SE sites are often giving out too much rep.

But maybe I'm biased because I only really know SU

On the other hand, I don't think my standards are pretty high.

Bob

@IvoFlipse It also makes some badges... rare...

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse I was just disappointed for not becoming a mod on RaspberryPi.SE ;)

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg I got 7k rep with ~60 answers on Fitness

Bob

o.O

Ivo Flipse

12:00 PM

@OliverSalzburg Here's your chance to fix it here :P

@Bob Indeed, SU's voting is really messed up

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse Heh. I like how you think :)

@IvoFlipse But I was also asking myself if I want to be mod, just to be a mod. Or because I think it would actually help the community. You know what I mean?

Ivo Flipse

I wish more users had that thought when they decided to nominate themselves :)

The users who don't want to become a mod are probably the ones that would be the best choice

jokerdino

o.O

Journeyman Geek

lol

HaydnWVN

yup as they're the ones probably most critical of questions and answers anyway

Ivo Flipse

12:05 PM

data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/73604/user-participation

SU only counts 2k active users, auch

Journeyman Geek

@IvoFlipse: one reason i think the self nomination process is funny

Ivo Flipse

@JourneymanGeek Well luckily we get to vote and comment, to filter them, but yes its rather funny at times

jokerdino

goes silent

Oliver Salzburg

Why is the election limited to self-nomination?

Ivo Flipse

Auch Gaming only has like 550 active users :O

Journeyman Geek

12:07 PM

@jokerdino: no, not standing this time ;p

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek lol :P

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: er... there was an explaination the last election

HaydnWVN

I had a good read through and must admit i went WTF at a couple of them... It's great they want to be a more integral part of the site, but with less then 5k rep!?

Journeyman Geek

which i didn't pay much attention to, it was before i got really properly involved in the site

@HaydnWVN: honestly? I'm shocked some of those people have so little BECAUSE they're good mod material and active

Ivo Flipse

Wow Average Rep/Question has been coming down steadily, I guess that's simply because there's more poor questions though: data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/39872/…

HaydnWVN

12:09 PM

@JourneymanGeek that's what i ment, i was suprised to see so littel rep with so many helpful flags

Ivo Flipse

@JourneymanGeek True, but some lack both Meta, chat and flagging participation

meta participation
helpful flags: 13

Awesome stats man!

Journeyman Geek

who?

oh ;p

Not the people i am thinking of ;p

has 4 people in mind. One, i don't have a good opinion of as a possible mod, but i respect his knowledge, one i don't know all that well.

Ivo Flipse

I just hope users like Mokubai and Kronos have the time for it (as in more time than me)

Journeyman Geek

lol

Thats one thing thats stopping me this year

(I have time, then it gets ducking insane...)

HaydnWVN

i just hope slhck gets in as you can see he has the time and expertise, not to mention the right attitude

Q: how to enable caches in u-boot for imx boards?

Since I am working on boot time optimization for imx boards , I heard enabling caches(D-cache or I-cache) in u-boot causes improvements in boot performance.Can any one suggest the way to enable caches in u-boot for imx boards.Enabling caches will make any damage to the board?

say what.

HaydnWVN

oh yeah enabling a cache is gonna damage a board xD

Ivo Flipse

Wow on Gaming they get twice the amount of rep you can get here

jokerdino

@Sathya we had a nice little discussion and you do this..

Ivo Flipse

@HaydnWVN moderator positions available = 2 :P

Sathya

@jokerdino o_0 argument?

HaydnWVN

12:14 PM

i know, i nominate Deepu for the other

Journeyman Geek

ooh

its a embedded system

jokerdino

@Sathya oops edited

Journeyman Geek

@IvoFlipse: 3?

Ivo Flipse

@JourneymanGeek After slhck there are only 2 left :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

Simon should, i hope

assuming he has the time

jokerdino

12:15 PM

if slhck doesn't win, i rage quit SU.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Ivo Flipse

@jokerdino I would simply step down so he can have my spot :P

HaydnWVN

seconded

Journeyman Geek

Oh, XD

I was trying not to endorse any one... and i mentioned two of my 4 ;p

jokerdino

@IvoFlipse Thanks. So you want me in SU after all? xP

Sathya

12:16 PM

shhh

Journeyman Geek

;p

Ivo Flipse

@Sathya <-- planning to rig the voting so I will give up my spot :P

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: we wouldn't want to chase you out at slhck's expense ;p

HaydnWVN

@JourneymanGeek agreed, don't know his name but with that many flags he's obviously contributing loads... Even if it isn't answers

Journeyman Geek

@HaydnWVN: he's on chat sometimes, good kid ;p

HaydnWVN

12:17 PM

@JourneymanGeek 'kid'... oh dear

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek so nice of you.

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek of course we don't want @jokerdino out. Who else can I rant about Ask Ubuntu to?

3

jokerdino

@Sathya Darn right man. Darn right.

Ivo Flipse

Btw who wants to run this query past all the nominations?

jokerdino

@IvoFlipse okay deal

Journeyman Geek

12:19 PM

@HaydnWVN: I'm getting old ;p

I even have a walking stick specifically so i can wave it at whippersnappers and rant at them to get off my lawn, darn kids.

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek move, grandpa.

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek i can imagine.

Journeyman Geek

(Actually i just picked it up cause it was cheap, and useful when i need a little extra reach to get stuff that fell off the balcony up)

Paul

Hmm. I have helped close zero questions. How very slack.

HaydnWVN

@JourneymanGeek I spent most of last weekend building a garden fence as the young 'uns just don't listen any more! ;)

that'll keep them off my lawn!

jokerdino

12:23 PM

@IvoFlipse ok done.

Journeyman Geek

@HaydnWVN: I found landmines worked very well, but they dug them up for me :/

Ivo Flipse

I only have 401, just as a comparison

bookcasey

I have a list of terms, each on a new line. What's the best way to open each one as a google search in a new tab? I'm running OSX

Ivo Flipse

12:24 PM

Do note btw that Tom is an 'old' user, so he's had more time to close stuff than slhck

jokerdino

i'll check Oliver

Sathya

wonder if those stats should be posted in the election room

Ivo Flipse

Simon has only been here for 1.2 years

Journeyman Geek

I have 286

ya

Ivo Flipse

Mokubai 2.7 years

(my decimals go to 12 :P)

Journeyman Geek

12:25 PM

lol

jokerdino

@ivo, how about finding close vote / active day?

Ivo Flipse

That would be interesting

jokerdino

gimme query to find active days

HaydnWVN

@bookcasey me, i'd take the easy option and just cut paste each line into a new tab...

Ivo Flipse

I've got 980 active days, so I run at less than 0.5 questions/day. But I'm not sure how moderator votes are counted

@jokerdino Isn't that just in their profiles?

jokerdino

12:27 PM

@IvoFlipse right

bookcasey

HaydnWV: I have dozens of terms. I was wondering if there way a way to automate it.

Journeyman Geek

I'd also note to be REALLY fair, we'd probabably need to remember low rep users would have to flag rather than VTC. The extra time/powers makes a huge difference.

HaydnWVN

would be interested in a lil query that'd show me my flags, questions and answers just like on the election screen ;)

jokerdino

@ivo, they are not in days.

only you (and mods) know the number of days

Ivo Flipse

Kronos 522; Randolph 812; DragonLord 463; Tom 790; Mokubai 873; Simon 462; Slhck 627; Luke 367

HaydnWVN

12:28 PM

@bookcasey probably, you'd have to use something to pass the commands to different tabs... possibly using access/vb

jokerdino

@IvoFlipse thx

Journeyman Geek

@HaydnWVN: its a mac, so.. access/vb?

HaydnWVN

@JourneymanGeek can't you guess i'm clutching at staws? ;)

Journeyman Geek

maybe applescript, but neither apple using regular is here

bookcasey

Yeah, I'm on a mac. :-)

Journeyman Geek

12:29 PM

@bookcasey: ask that on the site as a question ;p

Ivo Flipse

Are there any other useful stats we think could be of importance?

HaydnWVN

or head on over to apple.stackexchange.com

bookcasey

I'm in the process. :-)

Ivo Flipse

How many of his comments a user deleted :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

bookcasey

12:30 PM

Do you think this fits more in Superuser or Apple?

HaydnWVN

how many users ragequit after he downvoted their question/answer? ;)

Journeyman Geek

Well, whichever you think is better.

HaydnWVN

@bookcasey it kinda applies to both, maybe even web apps if it was soemthing you were looking to integrate

Journeyman Geek

@HaydnWVN: Eh. If someone ragequit, they obviously didn't belong here ;p

HaydnWVN

but if its a 1 off its more in SU/apple territory

@JourneymanGeek ragequit/toysoutofpram

Journeyman Geek

12:32 PM

@bookcasey: ask it here, wait a while, if there's no answer, ask for it to be moved might be a good middle ground

jokerdino

luke - 0.18
slhck - 2.01
simon - 0.76
mokubai - 0.47
tom - 0.54
dragonlord - 0.35
Randolf - 0.15
kronos - 0.19

Hmm

Journeyman Geek

@HaydnWVN: off the top of my head, we had that powergaming chap, and one or more of the non US video card givaway 'winners' leave. I can't remember anyone who left due to a closevote.

jokerdino

we can put them in a google spreadsheet

Ivo Flipse

Wow Simon is doing really well based on those stats

HaydnWVN

@jokerdino that's number of users which have ragequit per day due to each nominee? ;)

Journeyman Geek

12:33 PM

Oh, we have ONE user who seems to hate the current VTC system

Ivo Flipse

According to this query I wouldn't even qualify for the elections :P data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/67696/…

Apparently we need Daniel as a mod

Q: Automate Google Searching of Terms in Different Tabs

I have a list of terms, each on a new line. I need to Google search each one. I have been copy and pasting each term invidivually into a new tab, but I was wondering if there was a way to automate it. What is the easiest way to open a new tab for each term and search in on Google? (I am on OS...

osx firefox google-chrome google safari

lol

:-)

@HaydnWVN lol nope

12:37 PM

hmm

What's the voting system we're using anyway?

jokerdino

Single transfereable voteing

Journeyman Geek

ooh, in that case it gets a little less difficult for me ;)

Ivo Flipse

Also the number of edits might be an interesting statistic, though they're heavily skewed by retagging: data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/6627/…

Journeyman Geek

lol

jokerdino

but it doesn't show everything. i have been all over it since the morning.

Ivo Flipse

If a user doesn't have fanatic, he doesn't deserve to be a mod :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

hm

jokerdino

okay-ish

HackToHell

12:48 PM

So do the existing mods hold positions ?

jokerdino

@HackToHell yeah

mods are for life!

@Sathya @IvoFlipse how many flags do you guys get every day?

HackToHell

@Sathya is the alpha male here

Bob

@jokerdino Probably at least two from slhck :P

HackToHell

roughing up everyone

jokerdino

@Bob just two?

@HackToHell grr?

Ivo Flipse

12:51 PM

2.2k / month = ~75 flags per day?

Bob

@jokerdino That's not including other people

jokerdino

@IvoFlipse that's a lot

HackToHell

Seriously, Sathya goes from jovial to serious and get's things done, pointing out wrong stuff, and all, that's why he's the alpha male...

Ivo Flipse

Well some mods do 4 days worth of flags per month, others like me only 1

jokerdino

11 flags for each mod

Bob

12:52 PM

Is that 2.2k unique flags?

Or total flags (including multiple on the same post)?

jokerdino

@Bob no

Ivo Flipse

Yes, but not necessarily unique questions/answers

jokerdino

not unique posts i mean

because a spam post gets 6 unique flags

Sathya

@jokerdino about 10-15

jokerdino

doesn't make sense..

Didn't Ivo say 75? o.O

Sathya

12:55 PM

what doesn't?

well @studiohack takes a bulk of flags

jokerdino

Or you do 10 flags per day?

Sathya

he does like 2x what I do.

jokerdino

@Sathya he is obsessed with flags I guess

Ivo Flipse

@jokerdino 75 = the average number of flags per day, which get's divided over all the mods

jokerdino

@IvoFlipse well just got clarified.

Oliver Salzburg

12:57 PM

Jeeze. What Debian package contains the time executable?

Ivo Flipse

@Sathya I wonder, when did they start tracking those flags? I wonder if some data is lost, because it didn't exist way back

Oliver Salzburg

I need to time something :D

Sathya

@IvoFlipse 'm inclined to believe that's so..

Bob

@OliverSalzburg time?

Tom Wijsman

@IvoFlipse: Yeah, they started doing it at some point.

Ivo Flipse

12:58 PM

@Sathya Well I don't mind to see some mods did more work than me, wouldn't be healthy if I did even more :P

Bob

packages.debian.org/search?keywords=time

jokerdino

AU mods refuse to release the /month flag stat. grr

Bob

I mean, is there a package named time? :P

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob wtf...

Thanks ;)

jokerdino

BTW, hook me up on the SU trello board.

Oliver Salzburg

1:00 PM

I only helped close 200 questions?

jokerdino

I am jokerdino on Trello.

@OliverSalzburg tada

Sathya

@jokerdino which trello board?

Oliver Salzburg

Well, I've only been able to cast close votes since March...

jokerdino

@Sathya the blog board?

Oliver Salzburg

I guess that's acceptable then :D

jokerdino

1:04 PM

@Sathya or whichever board i can peek?

jrg

@jokerdino Only because we were told to be vague about any stats we do talk about.

jokerdino

@jrg I wonder why though.

and I posted that when you joined the room. :p

HaydnWVN

@jokerdino lol, intentionally? ;)

Tom Wijsman

@jokerdino created an invitation to B.V. (jokerdino)

jokerdino

@HaydnWVN we are good friends. i hope he took it that way :)

@TomWijsman Thanks

random

1:10 PM

That no one has bothered to fix up the "what to do? what to do?" very open-endedess of the 750GB question looks like we'll be getting some Reversal badges

jrg

@jokerdino shrug i don't ask questions like that, it doesn't mind me not being able to talk about stuff.

Sathya

@jokerdino looks I was late

Tom Wijsman

@random: It was not fully clear to us yesterday why it has been closed, someone linked that here and we went to reopen it. Could you clarify what you found bad about it? I thought it was for the "polling" part of the description, but I feel unsure about the intention.

HaydnWVN

@random nothing back from the OP, no interaction so it'll probably get closed anyways ^^

jokerdino

@jrg well, i was just being curious. :) and well, yeah

@Sathya quite a bit..

Tom Wijsman

1:12 PM

@HaydnWVN It's only been 11 hours, OP didn't even had the chance to sleep + work.

random

@TomWijsman What service are they talking about? Email? Uplink? Courier?

jokerdino

seems more off topic to me now?

Tom Wijsman

@random: The title mentions email (= electronic mail).

HaydnWVN

or all/any of them... It's far too localised or do we do shipping recommendations? ;)

Journeyman Geek

I think the underlying problem is "How do i move a large file from A to B quickly?"

Which seems like an actual question to me

random

1:14 PM

For that we have duplicates then

Tom Wijsman

As far as I understand he has a 750 GB .iso like file that he wants to sent through whathever mail service he has (or probably do some [in]direct transfer.

HaydnWVN

@JourneymanGeek which there are plenty of other questions about...

random

12

Q: How can I send super large files directly to another computer in the Internet for free?

I regulary need to transfer very large files (30 GB) to my friend - financial statistics. I don't have any problem with bandwidth: it is very broad here. I did some research in the area, so: 1. I would not use FTP, as it is very tricky to get it working behind a NAT. 2. I would not use Skype/MSN...

networking internet file-transfer

Tom Wijsman

Hmm, there's indeed been dupes, think we could better close it like one of those.

jokerdino

@jrg yo man, are we cool or not?

HaydnWVN

1:16 PM

jrg: @jokerdino burn infidel

^^

jokerdino

o.O

Tom Wijsman

@Sathya: In fact I did delete that comment because it was not right, yes, it takes me 10 minutes in some occasions. Should proof-read them more...

HaydnWVN

@jokerdino joking ;)

Journeyman Geek

@random: in which case, the question would be to merge or not to merge, and that the 'newer' question might be editable to be a broader scope without losing too much of the original question than the older one.

HaydnWVN

Isn't it better left until/if the OP returns to clarify & view answers before merging?

jokerdino

1:20 PM

i suspect hit and run

Journeyman Geek

But then again, i have a small bias since i answered that question, and i rather like my answer

naw, he's registered

jokerdino

because he has to email by tmrw which is on the way

Journeyman Geek

that makes it SLIGHTLY less hit and run

random

@JourneymanGeek The master question, if you only read the last paragraph, is the entirety of the new question

Tom Wijsman

I'm sorry to you (@Sathya), @random, @harrymc for the hassle it has brought, I'm no longer pursuing these kinds of posts, nor comment threads as I've explicitly stated in my profile update. A lot of time and activity has passed, there's been kinks in the cable; I agree.

jrg

1:22 PM

@jokerdino Yeah, we're cool.

I just haven't been paying attention to this window. :P

jokerdino

@jrg ok cool

@jrg i just like the atmosphere here.

HackToHell

@Oliver He was asking about a software, many questions are about software ....

Journeyman Geek

@random: However, moving 30 gb over a network makes sense. 750 gb, less so.

hm?

With 30gb, an online method still makes sense. With 750 gb, its plain madness

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell All questions of that kind are off-topic.

They just aren't all closed.

Leaving people to believe that it is actually on-topic.

Tom Wijsman

It isn't fun having to shorten a nomination to 1/5 of its length and get negative comments for just that, that makes me try to even the odds in other places. Doing some reviewing (only to coincidally see a meta post about just that pass by) then check out my activity. The past can't be changed, @Sathya. It's a cruel world, I'd hope you can forgive me...

HackToHell

1:26 PM

But it's about a software and the faq permits that...

Tom Wijsman

@HackToHell Love the combination of those words in the title.

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell Sorry, I don't agree. I feel like the question is a perfect example of "I want this, where do I get it?"

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: its about a software rec, not a way to solve a problem. Its a really fine line. He hasn't said what issues he has with the current software. Its not ok to ask what potato peeler to buy to peel tomatos, but its fine to ask how to peel a romato

so to speak

Oliver Salzburg

It is a fine line indeed.

HackToHell

@TomWijsman He's trying to be descriptive

@JourneymanGeek Well said, @Oliver I get your point

Journeyman Geek

speaking of which

@JourneymanGeek dropped a message not to migrate; was migrated by a recently elected mod;

jokerdino

@Sathya excuses?

Paul

@Sathya they voted well then!

Sathya

@Paul LOL

@TomWijsman For the record: I don't have any 'agenda' against you; I don't "hate" you; I have no idea why you seem to think that; one fine day you start arguing all points against me. Also, you didn't have to submit it right away; I bumped into the character limitation during my nomination on Stack Overflow. Edited and posted a bit later.

Paul

1:37 PM

Now thats just mean @Paul. Perhaps it should be part of the moderator-to-be election promise that they will respect the faqs of other SE sites

HackToHell

And (Sathya and Tom stuff) is why I hate management , humans are complex

jokerdino

@HackToHell ??

HackToHell

@jokerdino Being a mod/managing people is hard, there is a lot of misunderstandings, especially over the internet

Paul

Humans (said with that tone of voice ferengi use to note something distasteful)

Tom Wijsman

@Sathya: For the char limit, I first thought it would go true, but had to learn from here and there that it didn't. I would have though about deleting it and reposting it later, but was afraid that that would cause a permanent withdrawal. But well, it's now in the format that I'd want it to be. I just felt that you were upset about that previous meta post, that's fine, I didn't have anything against any of you at that meta post point either, I just didn't get why a certain decision was taken.

jokerdino

1:40 PM

@HackToHell hm okay

HackToHell

@Paul What have we achieved ??

Tom Wijsman

@Sathya: If you see into the meta post, those were kind of edge cases. Perhaps there are more clear depending on how one's learned to process posts, but I felt them to be positive.

Paul

@HackToHell Aqueducts?

Tom Wijsman

Getting a flag reason to tell the exact opposite of what you think, or a question that looks extremely fine kicked; is confusing. I wanted to get clear, why...

@Sathya: My initial reaction, granted, was a bit heated and that's why I'm sorry for that. I know you mean better, but it's the total sum that's a bit upsetting. It doesn't feel well comparing the comment threads on the nomination if you get what I mean. I'm trying to ignore that, though...

thanks Clippy for putting a smile on my face...

Q: Add a way to search for chat messages posted in a certain time range

I would really love to find the first message I've ever posted in Stack Exchange chat, or, more precisely, a particular room. Okay, I admit, I'm a bit nostalgic. However, I can only search for messages containing a certain string, and my "recent" messages don't allow me to scroll back. So, how...
