DavidPostill

22:08

@Burgi Yes please. You seemed to have missed my pun ...

Burgi

@DavidPostill now you've pointed it out i see it

Ben N

I'm in the mood for stories

Burgi

so the best man booked a table at redhotworldbuffet.com for our lunch. he got the confirmation email and everything

Michael Frank

is that okay to click?

Burgi

yes

he was walking passed the restaurant on wednesday last week and noticed it was shutdown and had been for a month

he booked us in elsewhere and forgot about it, no harm done

Michael Frank

22:13

Wait... nobody told the webhost???

Burgi

it gets better

today he has just received an email asking him to write a review and to be entered into the monthly prize draw to win a free meal.

DavidPostill

lol

Michael Frank

So is it just one restaurant that closed? Or all of them?

Burgi

i checked, they are all shutdown

Rahul2001

@Burgi lol

Michael Frank

22:16

redhotworldbuffet.com/jobs/#

But they're looking for workers!

Also, their last twitter updates was 301 days ago.

Burgi

i know!

Ben N

Clearly it's a ghost restaurant from a parallel universe

Burgi

heh

Rahul2001

Mobile site is pretty decent

Burgi

yeah, its a nice site

wtf...

check the trending twitter

Rahul2001

22:24

@Burgi Hm, it's localized

What do you see?

Burgi

Manchester Victoria evacuated

morning

Ben N

Hi!

Michael Frank

22:28

My husband and daughter were at AG gig at MEN and there was panic but someone came on stage and said no explosion, just a balloon.

Burgi

i better email everyone at work

DavidPostill

I was just about to post that. Some balloon ;p

> According to a doctor in A&E a baloon popped, and caused a stampede

Burgi

someone in the stag group is there and it was a bomb

DavidPostill

> Arena Incident: Transformer near roof blew up landing hot sparks and metal fragments onto crowd - no bomb and no gunshots

Burgi

ah i'll him know

Michael Frank

Minutes           : 44
Seconds           : 10
Milliseconds      : 967

The amount of time it takes to get the ACLs and report on them for 50,000 folders.

Burgi

according to the guy there he was told by the police that it was definitely terrorists and that a bomb had gone off outside the exits...

not sure i like this insta-feed of news

its hard to make a judgement

Michael Frank

lol the police aren't going to tell random civilians that it was a terrorist...

Burgi

the police have confirm fatalities. although they could have occurred in the stampede

welp its a good job that i had already told the office i was working from home

@MichaelFrank police are civilians...

Michael Frank

@Burgi You know what I mean though, right?

"Hey officer, what happened?"

"Oh it was definitely terrorists"

Burgi

lol yeah

closes twitter

Rahul2001

23:00

wtf

Burgi

that tweet just annoyed me so much

Rahul2001

me too

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 check this version of a mobile view

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver oops

What device is that?

Gypsy Spellweaver

Samsung Galaxy J1

Screen width = 480 px

That's why I made the <label> and <input> wrap in small resolutions, and why I killed the padding on the chat box for the same.

Rahul2001

23:15

@GypsySpellweaver Hm, I think I'm going to implement your style

Github still up?

Gypsy Spellweaver

It is, but it won't have the changes you've made.

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver Yeah, that's ok

Michael Frank

Is there a better way to find the rightmost folder name from a path? $folder = $unc.split("\")[$unc.split("\").count - 1]

Burgi

people from my office live in the city centre, they are saying the streets are packed with people trying to get home but the trams are all shutdown

Ben N

@MichaelFrank [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($unc)

Even works on Linux, where the directory separator is /

Michael Frank

23:18

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

purrrrrrrfect :3

Ben N

Alternatively, if you like cmdlets more than .NET methods, Split-Path $unc -Leaf

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver I don't really like the handle space for scrolling on the right

Michael Frank

Yea, Split-Path keeps giving me blank results though.

Ben N

Weird; it seems to work here

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 Adjust it.

Michael Frank

23:21

@BenN Well it worked when I tried it just now, but earlier it wasn't doing anything.

Ben N

Also, to get the last element of an array, you can use the subscript -1 ;)

Burgi

the bomb squad have just arrived...

Michael Frank

@BenN Ahhh, I was wondering about something like that

Also I realised leaf doesn't work on \\server\path but does work on \\server\path\path

Ben N

I suspect that's because the first path there is the share name, which is not exactly the same kind of thing as a directory or file name

Michael Frank

Ben N

23:24

\\server\share is a drive-like deal

Burgi

@MichaelFrank your original message was more informative... ;)

Michael Frank

@Burgi Not nearly as amusing though.

Burgi

lol

> a bomb threat? must be happening overseas...

Michael Frank

The best part is when he admitted to smoking weed on camera.

Burgi

did the reporter manage to find the only stoner there?

Michael Frank

23:26

Yea, probably.

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 this is what it is with the scroll space on right

Avery

@Rahul2001 I think that you should make an option to create random rooms and link to them

Going further, you should move the text boxes to an "advanced" dropdown IMO

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver Let's just make the chatbox of the height of the device, so no scrolling is required

@Avery There was some logic behind what I did

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 That would work too.

@Rahul2001 @Bob I think I like the double parameter better than a random string type link. The link can be shared by text/email, but not so easy by voice.

Avery

23:32

then pick from a word list

Rahul2001

May 13 at 7:13, by Gypsy Spellweaver

@Bob Since it's intended to be anonymous, I could meet Mr J.Q.P on the street, tell him the two parameters and meet in chat later. Even before I login myself. If it's any kind of generated link, someone has to login first to get that link, then find a way to share it.

Avery

I'm just saying this so that you can make the entry curve lower, which reddit likes.

bwDraco

I like how Windows 10 associates the search keyword "trim" with Defragment and Optimize Drives.

Rahul2001

@Avery Hm, I can add a sharable link which includes both parameters

Michael Frank

Bleh now I'm running into file too long errors. :(

I don't want to work out a smart way of mounting temp drivesssss

Ben N

23:40

Are you on Windows 10?

Michael Frank

I wish

No, this is Windows 7.

Ben N

Ow. Well, if you had Windows 10, I think this would work :/

If you felt strongly enough you could P/Invoke this native function that gets the 8.3 name from a given path

Depending on how deep your folders go, even that might not do it though

Burgi

how very british.... people living in the city centre are offering stranded people cups of tea

tea solves all problems

Ben N

"If one is in poor spirits, one should drink tea." -Eisai

Burgi

they've shut all the trams which is probably hampering the clearing of the area

Michael Frank

23:47

@BenN That looks too complicated for me. :S

Rahul2001

Heh.

It's dawn

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 Better?

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver yep

slightly more padding though?

On the sides

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 Pushed it up, as is. You can adjust the padding some if needed. Don't forget, the frame of the phone also adds its own "padding".

Rahul2001

@GypsySpellweaver uh huh, okie dokie
