@ScottPack It's an argument that I've never had with a rational person

And you can't argue with irrational people

So I don't bother

tombull89

Yes you can.

No you can't.

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson Furrymuff.

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack You're just jealous that I can lick my own butthole

David

You can argue with an irrational person the same way you can put out a large fire with your hands, you can try, it just doesn't work.

voretaq7

@David that's why you wear the asbestos oven mitts dear. They're not just there to give you cancer ya know.

MDMarra

One of my engineers just said "BDC" to me, as in Backup Domain Controller.

He doesn't know what's about to happen to him.

Joel E Salas

@mossy I believe @Wesley takes requests

mossy

@Wesley One santa hat please.

tombull89

Dec 4, 2013 22:14

man if we were any other room we'd be flagged for this stuff.

voretaq7

@Wesley! @mossy has a regrettably large head. I bet you would very much like to hat it....

I should just suspend all of us

then change my account association and get someone from TL to suspend me.

tombull89

ooh then we'd see the fancy chat countdown time-out timer

but you wouldn't

Mark Henderson

@voretaq7 Mutual suicide; I will suspend you at the same time you suspend me

tombull89

because mods don't see it.

voretaq7

@MarkHenderson man now I have to remember how to change someone's chat account association? :P

Mark Henderson

Dec 4, 2013 22:16

@tombull89 Probably because we can just un-ban ourselves

tombull89

eh I meant put the room in time-out

voretaq7

@MarkHenderson I don't think we can actually be suspended while we're blue

tombull89

can site mods do that?

voretaq7

@tombull89 we can freeze or gallery rooms, yeah

MDMarra

jesus fuck

I look away for two seconds and everything is starred

mossy

Dec 4, 2013 22:16

Welcome back sir.

Scott Pack

woah

voretaq7

I wonder how hard it would be to make a tweet bot that just tweets our star wall feed?

Scott Pack

That would be hilarious to read.

This. I require it be done.

Mark Henderson

@voretaq7 Not very; I did the hard work with a screen scraper of the star wall already for my shit se says page

Hardest part of Twitter is fucking oauth

voretaq7

@MarkHenderson isn't there an RSS feed for it?

Zoredache

Dec 4, 2013 22:18

@voretaq7 There is an RSS feed, it should be pretty easy.

Mark Henderson

@voretaq7 Not that I found

Whaatt?! THere's an RSS feed for the star wall!?

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson So oauth is like the preppy girl in choir?

voretaq7

@MarkHenderson lazy developers....

Mark Henderson

FUCK ME there is too

Zoredache

I bet you could probably even do it with ifttt.com or something.

Mark Henderson

Dec 4, 2013 22:18

When did they add that?!

If they added that before I did my screen scraper I am gunna be so pissed

voretaq7

@ScottPack oauth is like Alyson Hannigan

@Zoredache that's what I was just looking at :-)

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack Not really; everyone knows that choir girls are DTF

Scott Pack

@voretaq7 When it works it's surprising, makes a big mess, and incredible?

voretaq7

@ScottPack I was going for the band camp / flute reference.

but sure. That too.

Scott Pack

@voretaq7 Oauth knows what it likes and will do anything to make it happen?

@MarkHenderson Your choir experience was better than mine. :(

@MarkHenderson chat.stackexchange.com/feeds/rooms/starred/127

Scott Pack

Well. That's certainly everything I hoped it could be.

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack Haha not really

THats just what I tell myself in my head

Scott Pack

I got a better idea. Someone work on developing this then we'll take a vote for deployment.

Garage door. Family time. Toodles.

10 points for @tombull89

@voretaq7 Oh I never answered your question. No, no one that was under my supervision has made a terribly mistake. Mostly because by the time I was experienced enough to have someone I could mentor, there just wasn't any room on the orgnaization's roster. Then later on, I went out on my own as a consultant and then I was always were the buck stopped.

So I stand by my assertion that the worst thing I ever saw in production was me.

I've been the one that was under someone else's tutelage and did something horrible.

I took down an entire organization's 300 phone VOIP system once.

I think I pulled out a cable in the main firewall once.

tombull89

@Wesley achievement...unlocked?

Wesley

In fact

Now that I think about it?

Joel E Salas

I just got an amber alert thing

Wesley

I may have killed someone.

Mark Henderson

@Wesley Worst thing I ever did was install .net 3 runtime on a terminal server without permission, and the entire TS had to be rebuilt because .net 3 runtime totally fucked ThinPrint, and 150 users couldn't print
