Dude, playing custom maps with 100% knockback resistance armor is awesome

Ieuan

11:51 AM

That's pretty cool

Jochem

12:11 PM

@Ieuan does it actually work?

Ieuan

@Jochem No idea

Just found it on reddit

Jochem

ah

Ieuan

reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/33u4dg/…

Jochem

I have to say, I'm pretty excited for the reset :)

Ieuan

12:50 PM

@Jochem We all are

Starting over is always nice

Tim Post

1:29 PM

@Jochem I am too, and for a smaller / lighter pack. This was fun but there was just way too much crap in it

@Jochem Yeah. You just need the right color crafting terminal (top), then 4 facade

So you'd need the yellow cable

Well, 5 facade, you'd put it on all 4 sides and the top, then put the terminal on top (it will sink into the facade)

If you put storage buses on either side with diamond chests, you get an 'advanced' crafting table.

Jochem

1:47 PM

ohhey, I thought that was a crafting table facade. that's pretty clever honestly

Tim Post

2:03 PM

grrr, microblocks don't work filling in holes from essentia tubes.

Tim Post

2:16 PM

Oh, cool, Telepads are now working again and he got the bugs out

Tim Post

2:38 PM

Those are a pretty cool / cheap way of getting around. Balanced a bit more

Tim Post

3:46 PM

Nearly automated, but still have to use golems :(

Get the essence / stuff you need out of the ME terminal (has a view cell for conveinence)

Put the essence in the iron chest, feeds 7 furnaces

furnaces fill up the jars

(golems move them to the altar)

When done, open the valve near the altar to re-crystalize any leftovers

or, open the valve above the jars if you decide you don't need something you put in one

Tim Post

4:02 PM

So, morph mod. We all wanted it to fly and be fire proof. What's an easier early-game flight mechanic than extra utilities wings?

Kevin van der Velden

4:34 PM

Extra utilities (I think) hanggliders?

They're some sticks and string IIRC and with a nice tower set up you can go far

Tim Post

Mmmm, could work, not exactly creative style flight though.

There's the finder mod that enables it client side if the server allows it, so folks can install that if they wish.

We'll just 'allow flying' and you figure out how to do it kinda thing

I miss that mod, very handy for locating drops

Or chests when flying over extreme hills biomes

Tim Post

4:56 PM

0

Q: How can I seal the holes my essentia tubes created?

I'm in the process of automating essentia delivery to my infusion altar, and I built something that lets me dump crystallized essence into a chest to be converted into essentia and put into warded jars. My problem is, I need to seal up the vis tubes, so drops don't fall into the utility room ...

Tim Post

5:29 PM

Oh AE2 I thought we were friends. Just sayin'

Import and export buses stopped working all of a sudden :/

user43095

Is that fixed in the latest build?

Tim Post

Not that I know of, I'm setting up forge for 1.7 in the vanilla launcher to test a whole bunch of stuff

It happened in 1.7.2 also, whenever the amount of storage you have went over 80%, if more than 10 64K drives.

I just couldn't repro it reliably enough to report it

Buses stop working is one bug, buses stop working when you have a shitload of stuff is another.

20 out of my 30 64k drives are red

user43095

@TimPost Make a couple DSUs (or spawn them in, things like that are trivial at this point).

user43095

There was a mod that had these multiblock storage boxes or something, would be pretty cool if we slapped a storage bus on it. Can't remember what it was though; think I first saw it on reddit

Tim Post

Well, for testing, I got rid of everything in my system that was 10 or fewer (consolidating types), that helped, now it happens far less frequently, but it does still happen.

So it seems to directly correlate to how much stuff the system has in it

And, how many different types

user43095

5:39 PM

It's pretty intensive to scan your whole hard drive for a file when you have a lot of logs and backups and whatnot

Tim Post

Well, yeah, but AE2 drives aren't rotating media, they're nested arrays accessed with a pretty optimized breadth-first algorithm.

Oh, you mean that might actually be by design?

user43095

Doubt it, the mod would be flamed pretty hard by endgamers

Tim Post

I'm going to play around with it (since I am pretty much endgame)

user43095

Could look through the codes if it's on github

user43095

github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2

Tim Post

5:47 PM

It is. There's some code algo shoved in there to support extra cells that hasn't been touched in a while

user43095

Does that mimic real life SSDs?

Tim Post

scratch that, I'm looking at a branch I made a while back. D'oh

@JeffreyLin Ehh, some. Random writes etc can be problematic, but Intel SSDs have pretty much figured that out (AFAIK)

The samsung 840 series of SSD (in my W530 lenovo laptop) also has no real issues with write / read timing.

Jochem

@JeffreyLin we had that on the server I ran, it was in Monster... was it crate-something?

ftbwiki.org/BetterStorage <-- that's it

Tim Post

Better Storage, I think it was

Ayup

Jochem

it's available for 1.7.10 minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/…

Tim Post

5:54 PM

@Jochem Can you get it into the spreadsheet if it's not there currently?

Handy link to "The Spreadsheet"

Jochem

@TimPost done

it's a nice early game storage method, and a really nice "I only have 1 of these things" storage system for AE

ohyeah, it had backpacks too

Kevin van der Velden

Hmmm, not sure if I should suggest ProjectE or not

user43095

Ooh

user43095

Which one is better, ProjectE or EE3?

Ieuan

@TimPost Telepads look cool

Tim Post

6:03 PM

Yeah, I'm glad to see them working again, and some UX issues fixed :)

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin not comparable, completely different.

Ieuan

@TimPost I'd say keep extrautils, disable morph flight, fireproof is alright but the flying from morph as soon as you get a bat is too much if you ask me

Kevin van der Velden

ProjectE is basically a done clone of EE2, EE3 is an entirely new thing

Ieuan

We could also go back to jetpacks and hanggliders

user43095

@KevinvanderVelden EE2 was a mess. OP as hell. I'd say EE3

Tim Post

6:04 PM

@Ieuan That's what I was thinking. On the other hand, every single person playing this pack knows how to play the goddamn game. Let's see if we can find an alternate (early-game) flight mechanic.

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin isn't done

user43095

@KevinvanderVelden It semi-works though right?

Kevin van der Velden

And I was mostly joking for the record

Ieuan

@TimPost Yeah I'd say jetpacks, you can make a cheap one early and then upgrade it later

Jetpacks + hang gliders are cheap and easy but fall off later on

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin the test version running on forgecraft has alchemical bags, ooh and breaking stuff down

Tim Post

6:06 PM

Regarding IC2 - We're going to need to include it. If you want great armor and hate magic, it's your only option.

Unionhawk

Redstone Aresnal.

Tim Post

Unless y'all liked clicking on ants

Unionhawk

/discussion

Ieuan

@TimPost Ender flux armor is pretty great

Or w/e it's called

Redstone flux?

user43095

I honestly think it's not too OP if you tweak the values a bit, if I want 100 diamonds I'm going to get them. It's only a question of whether I get them in five seconds or five hours.

Tim Post

6:07 PM

@Unionhawk Psh, quantum armor kills anything that has.

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin still talking about EE?

Unionhawk

Quantum armor is annoying because it requires touching IC2

user43095

@KevinvanderVelden Guess it's a definite no then?

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin no, I just wanted to know the context

Ieuan

Tbh I'd say the fact that IC2 is horribly outdated is enough to not add it

Unionhawk

6:08 PM

You can enchant redstone flux stuff to prot whatever the max is

user43095

How is IC2 outdated?

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin Look at the UIs

user43095

I'd even suggest GT, although that's enough to make some people rip their hair out.

Ieuan

And how compatible it is with the standard stuff like RF now

@JeffreyLin GT just adds an awful lot of grinding most of us don't have time for

user43095

You could say that BC is a tad outdated as well.

Unionhawk

6:10 PM

@JeffreyLin I'd suggest a mod that just does if(playerName=JeffreyLin) player.kill(); if you suggest that

Kevin van der Velden

I'd say add GT if we disable half the nerfs it adds

Ieuan

Not saying it's not but at least BC >tries< to keep up

Unionhawk

Or just a command block on a clock that's just /kill JeffreyLin

Ieuan

@Unionhawk Playername is void, server is crash :(

Unionhawk

@Ieuan shh

Ieuan

6:10 PM

@Unionhawk Ok

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin Did you fall down and bump your heads?

user43095

What do we use in BC anyway? The quarry? I used the filler once because I screwed up while quarrying.

Unionhawk

You understand the point, don't try to ruin it with your actual implementation stuff

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin logistics pipes

Ieuan

@TimPost Jeffrey has multiple heads?

Kevin van der Velden

6:11 PM

Also robots are cool

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin frame quarries. Redstone engines (to some extent), robots, pumps

user43095

@TimPost Oh yes, the redstone engines.

Unionhawk

No not redstone engines get the hell out of here

Tim Post

Also a very cool way to handle redstone

(gates, etc)

Ieuan

BC has it's uses, IC2 only has uses for it's own stuff

Tim Post

6:13 PM

BC is pretty much a staple.

Unionhawk

@Ieuan Pretty much this

user43095

I feel like BC's pump is in some ways superior to ExU's since it doesn't have to be exactly above the liquid.

Kevin van der Velden

We could add iguana tweaks for the leveling (and disable the nerfing, or not, I kinda like the nerf)

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin BC pump is nice

@KevinvanderVelden What's nerfed by iguana tweaks?

Unionhawk

@JeffreyLin The enderthermic pump is designed for nether lava stuff

Ieuan

6:14 PM

It's one of the mods I feel GregTech could be but horribly failed at

Kevin van der Velden

@Ieuan every other tool ever

Unionhawk

That is all it is designed for

Ieuan

Like it actually adds progression where GregTech just adds a lot of grinding

Tim Post

IC2 sucks because it insists on using a power system that is now incompatible with every other mod in the freaking game

Unionhawk

Yes

Kevin van der Velden

6:14 PM

You basically can't mine with vanilla tools

Tim Post

Other than that, I have no issues with it

RedNet power cables solve it to some extent. We should also toss in power converters

Ieuan

@KevinvanderVelden What about stuff like wrenches and Thaumcraft tools?

Kevin van der Velden

@Ieuan should work

Tim Post

You can fill a few MFSUs from an EnderIO capacitor bank relatively quickly using a few rednet cables

Ieuan

@KevinvanderVelden So just vanilla tools, the kind that is literally useless in FTB, don't work?

Tim Post

6:16 PM

Um, no, TiCon tools too

Kevin van der Velden

@Ieuan yes, and you need to progress your tools

Ieuan

@TimPost You lose a bit and they max out very quickly, trying to run an induction furnace is barely possible from that

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost context is iguana tweaks =p

Tim Post

@Ieuan Hence, power converters

We also have turbines from Railcraft

user43095

So, you need 1 solar, 1 cobble, an autonomous activator and an OpenBlocks block placer to max out your tools?

Ieuan

6:17 PM

@JeffreyLin Possibly

user43095

I remember how mining Forge Multiparts didn't use up durability but leveled up the tools

Tim Post

Extra mobs

user43095

@TimPost That's probably the best way to generate EU. Was going to make one for the workshop but we didn't have a constant supply of steel after we took out infernal mobs.

Tim Post

Can we turn off the 'sticky' bit on infernal mobs?

That's the only thing about them that made me rage

user43095

Also infernal withers = bad

user43095

6:20 PM

And better drops like diamonds or whatever

Tim Post

Mostly due to the sticky bit

@JeffreyLin That's easy

user43095

@TimPost Mostly due to the imma gonna destroy teh compat machines

Tim Post

Just don't steal my damn sword or wand

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin Wasn't that the sticky bit?

Tim Post

That was the sticky bit

Okay, so someone has to check that out

If the yellow was lower, I'd have just built WinAmp in Minecraft.

Ieuan

6:22 PM

@TimPost Make some more cells lol

Tim Post

Nope. Seriously, if I need more than 30 64k drives, I'm playing the game wrong (which I am, I have millions of potatoes, charcoal, etc that I'm not using)

I should set up boilers to make use of it

and coke ovens

I'm just too goddamn lazy

user43095

You can't put charcoal in coke ovens.

Tim Post

When did that happen?

You could in 1.7.2

user43095

coal/logs -> coke coal/charcoal

user43095

Charcoal?

Ieuan

6:25 PM

@TimPost I'll make you 50 more

Tim Post

You could put charcoal in a coke oven and get coke out.

and creosote

user43095

what that's hax.

user43095

At least I don't think it works

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin The only item output used to be coke

Tim Post

If by "that's hax" you mean "I had no impetus to even try that, because it sounds crazy to me"

user43095

6:27 PM

At least, I never saw that in NEI

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin I don't think NEI existed back then lol

Tim Post

If we all get together and go on a road trip, @JeffreyLin is in charge of all maps.

@Ieuan TMI did.

Ieuan

@TimPost True

user43095

@TimPost Hey I navigated the family car from New York to Maryland. Granted Google Maps screwed us over once or twice or maybe ten times but I still got us there :P

Tim Post

That's actually harder than one might think. "Take I-95 they said, It goes straight south, they said .."

user43095

6:31 PM

Keep left to avoid the fork that will occur 46 miles from now which may completely screw you over.

Tim Post

And keep doing that until you pass every state but Maryland with a beltway.

user43095

Wait wait wait didn't we just make a large loop-de-loop?

Tim Post

And then there you are, somewhere on the Jersey turnpike, saying words your mother never intended you to say.

Ieuan

And then google maps or some proper satnav gets you back home

user43095

After taking the longest way possible to avoid traffic, which occurs anyway because rush hour.

Tim Post

6:48 PM

I think we've unanimously agreed, we don't want cars in this modpack.

user43095

Or anything Google

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin It's even worse when you're in Maryland and want to go to (wait for it .. ) anywhere in Maryland.

Ieuan

We could also remove anything that adds flight and go with some form of alternative transportation instead

Tim Post

(I am from Baltimore, originally)

user43095

@Ieuan Super laggy train go!

Tim Post

6:49 PM

CHOO CHOO!

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin Yes that would be awesome

What about helicopters?

Tim Post

Yeahnope

user43095

@TimPost Half of Baltimore is the tourist side and the other half is the seedy side lol

Unionhawk

Let's do something different and just build a Flan's and MCHeli modpack instead

user43095

MMPS adds flight, but I'm not sure if they have a 1.7.10 version

Unionhawk

6:50 PM

Freakin CrackPack season whatever

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin Stay out of .. yeah actually 1/3 of it is the tourist side and the rest is hell.

Ieuan

technicpack.net/modpack/official-fly-boys-modpack.518719

We could also do something somewhat PVP

Add guns and planes and forcefields, try to protect a base

Unionhawk

> official

That isn't official.

user43095

Then we need to add the ICBM mod

Ieuan

@Unionhawk It's technic pack lol

99% 11 year olds

Unionhawk

6:51 PM

It may be the same mods, but not official

Fucking technic pack

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin It used to be that South Baltimore, Dundalk and Essex were the city's armpit. Lately everything just grows hair and sweats.

Unionhawk

Why do they let anyone build a modpack

And then come to us when someone's Technic Pack modpack doesn't work

Ieuan

@Unionhawk The idea is good if you have permission and a stable download source and shit

Unionhawk

Fajkhfjlsadhyg.ljasehghasdgh;lsidhg;lasikdgh

Ieuan

That's just rarely the case

Tim Post

6:52 PM

Dundalk and Essex technically being counties, but you really can't tell that by entering them.

Unionhawk

> The mod pack is off line can u fix it?

Ieuan

@Unionhawk Pretty much the only downside of technic is that you have to host it yourself

@TimPost did you get solder set up somewhere?

I wanna check it out

Unionhawk

What

The fuck?

Ieuan

@Unionhawk ?

Tim Post

@Unionhawk YES, THE FUCK IS NOW UPON US. ARE YOU READY?

Unionhawk

6:55 PM

...

Tim Post

Psh he's still wearing pants.

Unionhawk

...

wat

Tim Post

42

user43095

22 hours ago, by Unionhawk

Are you two trying to be flagged?

Ieuan

What are we talking about

Tim Post

6:56 PM

PANTS

Ieuan

Would be cool if @TimPost got banned from stackexchange for being mentally unstable

user43095

I just realized something stupid about cloudatcost

Tim Post

@Ieuan I'm a manager here at Stack Exchange.

user43095

Costs $19 for most basic, $35 for second teir

Ieuan

@TimPost That's why it would be cool

user43095

6:58 PM

But if you upgrade to second from first it still costs $35

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin That's how they make money

Gradual upgrades f you in the a

user43095

So why the hell would you upgrade from the $19 to the $35 for $54 when you can have two servers for $54?

Tim Post

It's the overselling principle.

Unionhawk

Banning moderators requires removal of moderator status. (yes I have seen that happen). Banning @TimPost would require... well...

Ieuan

@Unionhawk removing stackexchange status?

Unionhawk

6:59 PM

Yes

Tim Post

@Unionhawk Pretty much an act of God. I have dev access.

Unionhawk

Oh, well then

Ieuan

@TimPost Can you hire people?

Tim Post

Yes.

Unionhawk

They'd basically have to assassinate you first in that case

user43095

7:00 PM

Ooh ooh hire me!

Ieuan

Cuz I know a guy who'd work hard for little money

Unionhawk

(I'm sure Stack Exchange has the resources to hire assassins if it came to that)

Tim Post

If he could pass our 4 - 5 interviews (mandatory) then yes.

user43095

Aw

Tim Post

@Unionhawk Turns out, assassins are kind of like designers, they just flake out.

Ieuan

7:01 PM

@TimPost I could probably pass the first, would that be good enough?

Tim Post

I have to go resurrect my web skillz and C skillz

Gotta get that monitoring daemon running, fortunately I have most of the code for that, I just have to go back and understand what I was actually doing with it

Ieuan

@TimPost Send it to me if you can't be bothered to go through it

Tim Post

It's pretty self-explanatory

user43095

Oh good, that should mean that I'll be able to understand it --- what

Unionhawk

Your code magic level is not high enough

Neither is mine, to be fair

Tim Post

7:15 PM

Wat? You can't C what I'm doing? :P

I'm a systems programmer :P I write file systems, web servers, kernel modules, etc.

Ieuan

Are horrible jokes a reason for ban from SE?

Unionhawk

No

Tim Post

Nope. They just get you fired for a day or two

user43095

The only thing I can do is bash my head against the wall.

Unionhawk

@TimPost I mean, if I wanted to I probably could

Oh, that reminds me, I need to reply to my professor (I got a personal offer to be a TA for the 300 level CPS class I'm taking now)

Tim Post

7:18 PM

@Unionhawk If you're not behind then do it

Or if you plan to be behind and need a good excuse

Unionhawk

Oh god wait, this will be the first semester that the kids will be coming in without having taken C++ classes before

Hmm

Well, that's probably fine

user43095

@Unionhawk o/

Unionhawk

(they switched the first two algorithms and programming classes to Java)

Tim Post

They all 'know' java, what could go wrong?

Unionhawk

(before it was C++)

Tim Post

7:19 PM

I think I know what a template does. Can I help?

Unionhawk

@TimPost I basically have an A+ in this class, and have inadvertently destroyed everyone else in the process, so...

user43095

(My excuse is that everything I know how to do is self-taught and have never been taught how to properly code)

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin That's .. why you'll probably get a good job and be happy.

Ieuan

@TimPost I'm in the same boat and no-one wants t ohire me because I didn't finish any education

Unionhawk

Yeah, the ability to learn code on the fly is just amazing

Ieuan

7:21 PM

So they don't trust my project finishing ability

Unionhawk

But, at the same time, this

I honestly didn't think you could even USE emoji in variable names. Or that there were so many different crying ones.

is how I imagine @JeffreyLin's code

Tim Post

@Ieuan bollocks, you're applying at the wrong companies. But you need to have shipped stuff in lieu of that.

Unionhawk

Though to be fair, that's my code a lot of the time.

So messy

Ieuan

@TimPost Working on some stuff

github.com/IeuanK/PoEBetalist

Tim Post

@Ieuan SHIP IT.

Ieuan

7:22 PM

My PHP code is amazing and super clean

Please don't kill me

Tim Post

Mine is too.

Unionhawk

PHP scares me

Ieuan

I mean, at least my code is indented right :"D?

Unionhawk

As it probably should

Tim Post

It's like cracking your knuckles before you move on to real programming.

Ieuan

7:22 PM

I know Java too

59 secs ago, by Ieuan

Please don't kill me

Unionhawk

I'm excited, I actually have a coding job this summer. That should be interesting.

Tim Post

Most of my job was "write lots of stuff in C or Python" then "We need something in PHP so we can actually use it"

Unionhawk

Heh

Ieuan

I'd love to just start at the bottom at a random IT or dev department in a big company

Do the dirty work while getting some corporate experience

Would be hell to work in but at least I'd be working and learning

But yeah good luck getting hired in corporate without a CS degree

Tim Post

@Ieuan Wrong outlook

Ieuan

7:24 PM

@TimPost Why?

Tim Post

Any interviewer worth their salt is going to see if you're looking for a stepping stone

Unionhawk

I'm not sure what exactly I'll be doing, since they aren't putting me on the huge flagship project (it's too large in scope to understand in 3 months), but I do know that it'll be some coding work, and not PC Tech stuff

Ieuan

True

user43095

My CS class next year is going to teach us how to python and terminal and stuff, but I don't see python being used that often in a productive environment.

Ieuan

Idk, I mostly just feel like I need to start over and use my current experience to kickstart that

I know I'm a pretty good programmer but my code right now isn't worth anything because it's dirty and chaotic

Unionhawk

7:26 PM

@JeffreyLin Python is interesting and fun and everyone should learn it.

Tim Post

@Ieuan Big difference between "I'll do this to get in" and "I want to do this because I know a lot about it, and I want to see what it's like for a while, even though I could possibly interview for better things"

Unionhawk

And it is used in some things

(my partner in this class I'm taking now didn't know python, so I basically had to rebuild one of the projects I had started on in C++)

user43095

Wonder if I should spend the summer learning python to get a head start

Unionhawk

Plus, if you can do Python, you can probably do Lua, and therefore, ComputerCraft

Or vice versa

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin No reason not to

user43095

7:28 PM

I mean, I probably already have a slight one since I know how terminals work.

Tim Post

SE has really good benefits and even better perks. I meet accomplished programmers that would be happy to mop floors just to get in, and I (unfortunately) can't hire them. I need to hire someone passionate about the job at hand, overqualified isn't a deal breaker, but I need to know why you want the job.

Unionhawk

Python is also easy to self-teach

Ieuan

@TimPost So having a passion for programming and always wanting to learn more and get better would be good motivation?

user43095

@Ieuan I thought that was rule one of anything in life.

Tim Post

@Ieuan Yep. I've voted to hire community managers that .. were great programmers but wanted to learn community management and showed an aptitude for it.

Heck I've got 20k+ on Stack Overflow and I'm not a core dev.

Ieuan

7:31 PM

Damn why aren't all companies ran by you

Tim Post

What most companies want to avoid is sort of like the tourist visa thing - they want some assurance that you won't just get hired and try to do something else quickly.

I was really clear when I came on here, programming has to be a hobby for me again, because if it isn't, I lost the love of my life (10 years of death marches)

Don't be a programmer that is suddenly interested in punching holes in looseleaf.

Nobody hires that.

Ieuan

Well I started as programming just to get a simple website up for me and a couple friends to post messages on and keep track of homework, now I'm doing bigger stuff bit I'm pretty held back by having no experience in structured development

Tim Post

Anyway, on to write minecraftd :)

Ieuan

I'd love to just be programming 60 hours a week for the rest of my life

Tim Post

@Ieuan You need to do a project and ship it, get your name in some commit messages on some open source project, and set up your own garden

@Ieuan There needs to be a site about Ieuan where you do mad science.

Ieuan

7:36 PM

@TimPost Yeah working on that

Tim Post

Or talk about the mad science you want to do

Ieuan

Most of my programming is literally that

Just making the impossible happen in whatever way necessary

Kinda like I play Minecraft

Tim Post

You're articulate, get out there and write.

Ieuan

Not everything makes sense or works well but it does what I want it to do

Tim Post

That's .. the kinda shit you need to talk about.

Ieuan

7:37 PM

I tried to start a blog but I just removed it because it was embarrassing lol

Tim Post

</FreeAdviceFromASeniorHiringManagerAtStackExchange>

Ieuan

Yeah I'll get my website up asap

Tim Post

@Ieuan blog.codinghorror.com/…

Ieuan

I'm just as someone mostly working with front-end stuff too bothered by the standard layouts everyone uses

I don't want a onepage fullscreen photo website

What exactly is the difference between stackoverflow and stackexchange btw?

Tim Post
