I'm pretty sure @tester101 has OCD since he's even editing the titles of questions that have been closed. :) diy.stackexchange.com/questions/24714/…
Titles MUST be questions!
And there shall be no "Thanks" given.
lets have a jeopardy day! where titles are answers and you must answer in the form of a question.
"Thanks in advance" </Snarky Tone>
"Q: This would be a good situation for a sub panel." "A: Everything? -Jay Bazuzi"
"Q: I want to re-wire this light socket." "A: See NEC Document xxx? - Tester101"
:)
12:56
Oh, I see. It's rag on Tester101 day.
only love boss, only love.
Let me check the NEC to see if that's legal.
finally taking my side work as seriously as i can - on my FAQ page, i have this:
I think I'm getting a ragging vacation today, and ChrisF has been on a ragging sabbatical.
"But but... my son or daughter can build me a website
Then we highly suggest you let them. When your ready for a real website, please contact me"
am i being an a** ? :)
12:59
I'm actually working for a guy that has his son doing the site design, it looks pretty but that whole functionality thing seems lacking (doesn't understand the difference between buttons and links).
pretty != functional
Speaking of needing website help...
@BMitch Are you guys on Lybrel?
I had to look that up, and no, no I'm not.
if their paying, tell them to contact me :)
13:10
Jokes are always funnier when you have to do research.
Jokes on the internet, sure. But don't try stand up comedy unless you enjoy a quiet audience.
As long as a couple people laugh, others will laugh too. They don't want to look like they didn't understand the joke.
i dont get it
13:25
@lsiunsuex It's a menstrual suppression joke.
was gonna say @Tester101 i have a new drug - mixcloud.com - if your into that kind of music (dj / house / trance / etc...)
instead of listening to the same crap on pandora.com all the time
@Tester101 when you have to explain your own joke, because you don't get @lsiunsuex's joke, he wins. :)
14:21
Any idea how this programmable timer works without a neutral?
@lsiunsuex "You're", not "your" It's a public facing document. It's got to be correct. Hire a proofreader. You'll never regret it.
Then we highly suggest you let them. When your ready for a real website, please contact me"
Should be I - me or we - us.
i know
will have the wife proof this weekend - shes good
I find errors like your you're, and There they're their confusion crop up so much more when I'm typing than when I'm writing with a pen. I think there are different neural pathways being used. Typing uses the oral/aural pathways, and writing uses the same paths as reading.
this, i dont understand
I am not a neuroscientist, but I've watched them on TV.

Amazon River...
 
2 hours later…
16:23
Goddamnit! Can't get rid of the mayor.
16:38
remote office - friend of the family i work for - brought her a new pc - set it up - copied her shit from her old pc to the new one (this was on tuesday) - as soon as we started coping shit, virus notifications popped up everywhere
had to leave - she needed updated payroll software
go back today and the new pc is unusable - the viruses (even with symantec on it) killed the new pc
now i need to start over, rebuild the new pc, popped the hard drive on the old one, jacked it into my pc over usb, full scan, reinstall all the software on the new one, copy all the shit over again
wtf friday!
17:15
You're the last one to touch it, so it's obviously your fault: thedailywtf.com/Articles/The-Sysadmins-PC.aspx
17:27
never give your wife a link from letmegooglethatforyou.com - it wont end well

17:43
woah - i can give myself a star! :)
But it has a hole in it.
Did you "star", or "pin"?
Pin != star.
so i see
17:49
haha. I can unpin!
and remove stars!?
@Tester101 you're one 'ha' and an exclamation point from "Maniacal dictator"

Are there any experts on Parenting.SE?
yeah - dont have kids
@Tester101 Do you have kids?
Not yet.
17:58
You'll learn that everyone but you is an expert.
woah woah woah - 23 students from the west coast just signed up to my dental website - wtf.
I guess I mean are there trained child care professionals, or is it just a bunch of programmers sharing their opinions?
Parenting advice is always a bunch of XXX sharing their opinions.
@lsiunsuex Paying?
students dont pay
Maybe so. But I think I'd trust a bunch of doctors sharing their opinions, over a bunch of programmers.
18:02
and the boss is in nebraska this weekend at a pro conference - not a student one and not on the west coast
@lsiunsuex Sometimes people share things on the internet.
That's why things like facebook, pinterest, twitter, etc. are so popular.
duh - i know that
we have a social marketing person doing facebook - but the current facebook contest is for $100 visa card - not to provoke signups on the website :)
up to 34 new users now
f' - if we can score the whole school (200 ish) that'd be f'ing awesome
Most people get excited by new users.
i'm f'ing extatic!
but i had a lot of changes planned for the sit this weekend - wasn't planning on a bunch of new students looking at any mess i may make in the process :(
Oh. Sounded like you couldn't believe anybody would use your site.
Good things get used.
18:12
36 students - this school is a brand new dental school - may not be far off from the entire dental population there
 
1 hour later…
19:44
30 viruses found on this pc
checked it against symantec and avgfree (just to get a 2nd opinion) - wtf is wrong with people
People still get STDs too. It's believing "It won't happen to me"
nice analogy
and usually the careless pursuit of sex...
Every twitter spam I see has a half naked girl as the profile pic.
20:09
Those are spam messages?
Usually with a "This made me laugh t.co/randomcrap"
someone reverse engineer this so we can build this!
Nice use of linkages.
20:24
Counter Intuitive Slogan Day!
20:49
hi all
Lets play guess the part I need: I need something that can select between 5 lights to select which one I want to light up. My wording is probably horrible but I dont know how to describe it well
I have 5 lights that I want to put in series.... and I want to be able to control which light is lit up at a time. ( only one out of the 5 lights will be lit at a time)
You'll need to wire each one separately
:/ .... well I have a processor that will take my input and send out a signal to each light
I was looking at this... adafruit.com/products/268
but that is way too big and way to expensive lol
You might need electronics.stackexchange.com
20:56
hmmm thank you, i will move this convo there.
We don't understand signals.
Are you using low-voltage lights? 12V or 24V
I was thinking along the lines of a dial selector switch and a star topography.
