GiantCowFilms

@AwalGarg Thanks!

@someonewithpc Hey, you made it!

Awal Garg

16:02

If I posted an answer about a month ago, and it reaches 7 score now, will I get the hat?

GiantCowFilms

@AwalGarg Maby, lets try!

JohnB

Yisela isn't messing around with these hats

Awal Garg

@GiantCowFilms stackoverflow.com/questions/26625336/… xD

David

GiantCowFilms

Done!

David

16:03

Awal Garg

GiantCowFilms

@AwalGarg Put your b.se account to good use:

A: camera settings to imitate my camera

You can match a camera in blender. Select your camera Go into the camera properties. Set the Focal length of your camera to 121. Set the Sensor Fit to Horizontal Set the width value to 127 (which is 5 inches in millimeters). You will need to make your image resolution fit a 4:5 aspect rati...

Vincent

@JohnB heh, I thought you were last year's hat champion?

Awal Garg

@GiantCowFilms done :D

JohnB

You'll see, I'm a dark horse

Vincent

16:04

atm, I'm breathing in that dark horse's neck :P

GiantCowFilms

@JohnB @JohnB help the cause!: save babby kittens:

A: Creating two equidistant edges (two "centered" edge loops)

Use Ctrl-B and then scroll (You can add more cuts that way): You can fine tune the distance in the operator panel F6:

Up vote!

Awal Garg

I wonder what if the mods revert all these hats, badges and votes if they see all this was setup :D

JohnB

also, you're all banned for voting manipulation!

GiantCowFilms

@AwalGarg Oh shoot!!!!

JohnB

GiantCowFilms

16:05

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Awal Garg

@JohnB damn

GiantCowFilms

We're just having a party!

David

@AwalGarg then I outa here :)

GiantCowFilms

Bye, never was here!

JohnB

;P

Awal Garg

16:06

@JohnB If you don't ban us, we will UV your posts :p

Madara Uchiha

@AwalGarg At least half the people in this room are mods.

I don't think so XD

Awal Garg

lol

stackoverflow.com/help/badges/94/pundit this badge is easy to get, I think.

And it would give me a hat as well :p

This was good in 2009, now you use bcrypt or something. — Awal Garg Nov 17 at 8:15

Vincent

@AwalGarg eh, I've been trying to get that one for ages :/

Awal Garg

^everybody upvote that comment!!!

GiantCowFilms

@AwalGarg That is hard to get on b.se...

Awal Garg

16:08

@GiantCowFilms not on SO :P

David

@GiantCowFilms I thought you left

Awal Garg

@Vincent :p

GiantCowFilms

@David I saw it was safe and returned

David

k

Awal Garg

set response type to dom document and do getElementByWhatever directly on the response. — Awal Garg Nov 19 at 16:02

^and this one :D

David

16:10

@GiantCowFilms did you get the time lord hat?

GiantCowFilms

@David No... D:

David

Awal Garg

Vincent

Yisela

@David it must take ages, I'm waiting too

Oh, hi @LaurenIpsum!

David

16:15

blender.stackexchange.com/questions/6487/… try UV this one, in case it does have to be one of your own posts

Yisela

@David UV

David

thanks, if I get the time lord hat, I will definitely let you know.

Matt

oh I got the time lord hat!!

GiantCowFilms

@Matt What ya do for it

Matt

still trying to figure that out.

David

16:18

@Matt did you have to edit one of you old questions?

Matt

Was trying to get another one

David

the other thing is SE's time delay, so we really never know what we did.

Matt

ya

I need one more upvote for my web question to get a hat

David

link

GiantCowFilms

:D

David

16:21

I will UV it

GiantCowFilms

me three!

Yisela

hmm I edited another person's question... can someone UV this one please?

graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/9147/… --

GiantCowFilms

Done!

Yisela

thanks!

GiantCowFilms

UV this: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/13407/…

I think it is old enough

(its the oldist I've got)

Yisela

16:22

done

oh, how old do they have to be?

David

^^ that is what I was about to ask

GiantCowFilms

I think 6 mounths

Yisela

mine was from May

GiantCowFilms

I chose an old old one

Yisela

xD

might be riiiight there

David

16:24

@Yisela what was the vote count before you edited it?

GiantCowFilms

You guys UV'd right:

Q: Issues with Shadow Mapping?

I'm trying to get a Shadow map for some armor pieces I made and I've been watching this tutorial on how to do it. But some of the options that I need to use to get a good shadow map aren't showing up in my Blender Program. This also includes the Bake tab in Render. Which I need to for the Shadow ...

texturing uv

David

yes

Yisela

@David 13 I think

David

wow SE is now using random urls to the secret hats.

GiantCowFilms

Damn 4 votes on b.se left!

David

16:32

that went quick

Zach Saucier

@Matt any reason why you removed the link I just added?

Matt

testing something hold-on

ok its back

Zach Saucier

you missed the link xD

Lauren Ipsum

@Yisela I keep going to your suggested questions but those are all ones I've upvoted already. :)

I shall keep trying!

GiantCowFilms

@David I've go 9 hats... I just need to see what I can do about the android/apple clients... that may be hard.

Matt

16:47

ok got me some hats, lol

@LaurenIpsum hi!

@ZachSaucier failed...

Yisela

@LaurenIpsum aww thanks!

@Matt nice one xD

GiantCowFilms

@David bad news, you have to edit 5 old questions to get the timelord hat

David

@GiantCowFilms I figured it was something like that. Was working on it before you posted

GiantCowFilms

@David Okay

David

9 really, I only have 6

Yisela

16:52

@GiantCowFilms plus votes?

GiantCowFilms

@David Yup, you can look

@Yisela Don't know

Post if you wan't votes, but I can't help for b.se anymore D:

David

@GiantCowFilms well did you have people vote on the questions after you edited them?

GiantCowFilms

@David Haven't done 5, just read it on meta.se

Yisela

there's time, I don't want to bury the new questions from today

David

@GiantCowFilms Oo that is different

GiantCowFilms

16:53

@Yisela LOL

nice cayous

@David But he got, and it's worth a shot!

I'm having trouble choosing my hat...

David

@Yisela true but I'm finding some that need to be edited, look at the difference here blender.stackexchange.com/posts/699/revisions

@GiantCowFilms photoshop

GiantCowFilms

@David Then no one can see them

David

you dont have to make them small like I did

Yisela

@David definitely, I meant not edit just for the sake of it

GiantCowFilms

@David That could end up looking very rediculous

Matt

16:56

anyone know how to get the waffle hat?

Yisela

nope, it's still a mystery

David

@Yisela I know what you meant, and I only do so much just for the sake of a hat.

GiantCowFilms

@David If you seem some I need of editing once you're done, could you send them my way, not having much luck finding the ones that need editing.

@Matt I wan't it

Matt

I love the top hat and finger. think it goes well with my avatar

David

@GiantCowFilms unfortunately it is not hard to find, just click on the question with the lowest UV on the page

@Matt but no more votes for you today

GiantCowFilms

16:58

@David True... I'll keep looking

Matt

um wrong.. said 7 hours =P

GiantCowFilms

@David Same here Waaa.

@Matt Yes!

David

so are you saying I should use the rest of mine now?

GiantCowFilms

This is making me earn tones for bronze badges!

Vincent

@Yisela yay!

GiantCowFilms

17:00

Do you think we could summon a user with a waffle and ask them what they did?

David

@GiantCowFilms really, which ones? I have not gotten one yet.

Yisela

everyone is wondering about the waffle on meta

if someone knew they would have posted it

probably

GiantCowFilms

@David Voting ones mostly

Matt

shame not all the users are playing

David

@Matt the star count on the right would be crazy

Matt

17:04

wonder how many secret badges exist

Vincent

hats or badges?

GiantCowFilms

@Matt Some meta.se users have tones!!!!

Scott

I see some forgot it's a marathon not a sprint :)

Matt

sup @scott!

David

@Scott why run the marathon when we can race to the end this week?

Scott

17:13

:) Serious case of deja vu when I looked at the questions this morning :)

David

Happy day, just got the time lord hat !!!

PS no need to have the edits UVed

Yisela

nice to know, thanks!

David

@Yisela if you still need to know about the time lord hat let me know.

GiantCowFilms

@David Congrats!

Yisela

@David I'll wait a few days, the home is looking horrible

David

17:19

true, it is almost mean of SE to give us the hats right before Christmas

meta.stackexchange.com/users/172958/kevin#winter-bash is really in to the hats

GiantCowFilms

Research on waffles says its about favoriting!

Downvoting then editing then upvoting has bee reported to work for waffles as well?

Tests guys (I'm outta votes)

?

David

any idea if that is for a question or a answer?

will try soon

Yisela

I'm out of votes too

David

I'm trying to get out of votes, but then I read something or go and edit another post :)

Yisela

haha

Scott

17:35

See people actually avoid voting on my posts :)

I'll never get some hats :)

David

wow, I have the waffle hat

Yisela

congrats!

Scott

I got waffles too

Yisela

do you know how you got it?

David

it is like @GiantCowFilms said vote down, edit then vote up. The names make sense after you know what gets the hat.

Yisela

17:37

hahaha

Matt

@Scott you got the waffle!!! what did you do?

Yisela

53 secs ago, by David

it is like @GiantCowFilms said vote down, edit then vote up. The names make sense after you know what gets the hat.

Matt

??

Yisela

it is what David said about what GiantCowFilms said :P

Scott

Vote a question down

Edit that question

Vote that question Up

David

17:38

@Yisela exactly

Yisela

looks like now people are going for the "answer unanswered question"

is it just for the votes or do you need the OP to accept it? because some are ooooooold

Matt

there, lol

Vincent

@Scott waffle-man! congrats :)

David

@NoviceInDisguise ok it is your avatar

Scott

It's okay if they answer old questions... it can provide flags and downvotes becuase they are streeeeeeeeeeeeeetching to answer, when it's not really an answer :)

I need 60 flags before hats end.. it's probably the only way I'll earn a gold badge :)

David

17:46

@Scott which in turn gives more hats

Scott

Home page is pretty bad now :) lots of low view, very old questions :)

David

anyone with votes left on b.se blender.stackexchange.com/questions/14579/…

NoviceInDisguise

Not me :-P

Does Chameleon require votes to get?

David

I just need one more UV on that answer then another hat

@NoviceInDisguise no

there is a time delay for that one. but just changing you avatar will do it.

@GiantCowFilms which question did you UV to get Fascinating, Ma'am?

never mind, now I see it was not even on b.se

daily vote limit reached. so where is my hat?

Matt

18:04

ha found another ipsum!

NoviceInDisguise

@David you need to upvote at least ten questions I think.

David

I think I did that

I have the hat now, again slow SE

NoviceInDisguise

Ahh . . .

Yisela

Please stop editing old questions for today, there were valuable ones that got buried because of all the hats hype. There's time until the 4th of Jan.

NoviceInDisguise

@Yisela I agree!One question, does the timelord hat require editing old questions, or just any old posts?

Matt

18:30

I only edited my old question because I found another ipsum..

picksumipsum.co.uk

Yisela

there are over 30 edited questions on the home

Scott

Well damnit @Yisela tell "Community" to quit as well!!!!!!!!! :)

David

@Yisela that is not how I got mine

NoviceInDisguise

How old is old?

Some Guy

Very old

(I don't know :P)

Yisela

18:38

@David is it not? I still don;t have it, but I thought it was 5 old questions of your own

I'm deleting the starred comments, this will take a while xD

Scott

Well 1 certainly doesn't do it. :) I wondered why the stars were changing a lot :)

David

I edited 5 old questions (about a year old) they were not mine and nobody UVed after my edit.

Yisela

I only killed the ones that were "Hi", "Star me" and so on

left the cat gifs and a couple of yours, Scott

Scott

eh.. remove all mine.. the world won't end :)

Yisela

@David you are right, I have the wrong one in mind, it's this: Tardis = edit then get upvote on edited post

@Scott I'd kill the last one, but it means I have to delete the comment (cause I can't un-star). If that's ok..

Scott

18:41

meh.. not married to anything Yisela. Do what you will :)

David

@Yisela I did not get the tardis, even after doing what you just said.

Scott

It's a marathon.... I think if you just use the site as you normally would, you'll be surprised at the hats you get ;)

David

that is kind of what I came up with, but what fun is that?

NoviceInDisguise

@Scott Most likely. Hopefully they'll get burned out and then we can sneak ahead . . .

Yisela

I wonder if we could use the hat hype to promote new questions an answers on the subjects we need the most

something like a meta post where we propose areas of interest... and then each person can edit in a link to their question and try to get the high UV score hat

Scott

18:45

I think you should get a hat for doing hat-related items in a short time period that add no value to the site? :)

Yisela

haha

'the destroyer of worlds' -> 30 meaningless edits

NoviceInDisguise

Wow! That is pretty bad . . .

Yisela

'the four horseman of the apocalypse (horse ears)"

David

@Yisela but only on questions with at least 20 UVs

Yisela

we should have an anti-hat bash

Scott

18:47

Four Horseman hat.. I like it!

Yisela

ah, thanks for that, edited the correct name

make your own hat Scott!

Scott

Well... the problem is someone else would have to state the edit were invalid :)

There may already be a hat for edited edits :)

Yisela

I think there is one for wiki excerpts, that one would be really good for us

did your hat just win a hat?!

Scott

Ya know.. I've never figured out how to add tag wikis or tag synonyms or edit synonyms etc. Never really cared :)

Yisela

do you care now? I can show you

Scott

18:50

No the meta edit was an edit it was already the top question. Didn't think meta counted for hats.

Nah.. I ignore most tag stuf :)

but thanks

I edit when I see them in the review queue, but beyond that I don't really care :)

Yisela

I don't think many users read them

Scott

I don't either. It's more SEO stuff I think

Yisela

but they must be good for SEO and those occasional users

Scott

well and favoriting and subscribing is helpful. But beyond the name I don't give 2 hooties and the blowfishes

Yisela

I have fav some questions but never ever came back to them

sort of like the bookmarks in browsers

Scott

18:53

I favotire to bookmark things for duplicate links :)

NoviceInDisguise

I do the same thing sometimes . . .

Yisela

I always end up with an infinite list of forgotten crap that I need to clean every year or so

@Scott that's a good one

Scott

that's why I dont' actually bookmark. It'll go into the wasteland of old junk in my browser.

Yisela

and my gmail inbox... I think I kept labels working for 6 months, and since then it's been "too many items on your inbox"

Scott

I think I have bookmarks form like 2001 or older :) Never bother to clean them out.

I'm gunna have to go buy an android tablet to use the SE app on it.. damn hats :)

(kidding, of course)

Yisela

19:01

you can give me your credentials and I can log in for you, cough cough...

Scott

yeah. suuuuuuuuuuuuure.... .Or I could jsut go to Wal-mart and log in there :)

on one of their displays :)

So how's life Yisela?

Yisela

it's good, getting used to my new home, learning the language, hoping some day I'll be able to work here, with it...

Scott

where are you again? (you globetrotter, you)

Yisela

and fighting clients as usual, but I think I have a thicker skin now

in Frankfurt, Germany

Scott

Ahh... My sister was born in Stutgart and apparently we lived in Frankfurt until I was 4 or 5. And I spoke fluent German as a toddler --- no clue how to speak it now :)

Yisela

19:05

oh, wow!

were your parents travelling?

Scott

I was an army brat until like, 7 or 8

My father retired when I was young.

It must be fun for you to travel and live in so many different places?

Yisela

I thought so!

well, sometimes it's because I choose too, others I have to

New Zealand wasn't working out, but I had everything I needed, now I'm in zero again

maybe this is the place I stay

Scott

You'll knwo it when it happens. Things will just start working right :)

Yisela

how's life over there?

enjoying your house?

Scott

About the same. Cat died, got a new kitten, dealign with that little bundle of terror during the day. But other than that, nothign really of note :)

Yisela

19:12

was cat old?

:( I'm sorry

Scott

yeah 15-16. No clue why she died. Just found her dead.

Yisela

what color is the new kitten?

Scott

She's a Blue Russian with some slight tabby or rex mix to her. Mostly Blue Russian though.

Yisela

green eyes?

Scott

yellow -- which is where the tabby or rex come in :) Blue Russians normally have blue ro green eyes.

she's got like "ghost" stripes on her back half. You don't even see them until she's right in front of you.

Yisela

19:15

:)

Scott

Yisela

is that the real one?

awwwwwwwwwwww

Scott

yeah that's her

Ryan

19:52

Pretty cool and insightful video -- adweek.com/adfreak/…

Zach Saucier

20:04

selector is wrong, should be table.comparison

Ryan

think I just figured out the problem, but that could be it too

Zach Saucier

lol, I have no more chat stars in here xD

2

Ryan

Well not sure about what you said, I was just dumb --- I was in my media queries section of the CSS file instead of the full size portion

Yisela

@ZachSaucier now you can see your latest non-hat related star comment :)

(a cat gif)

Zach Saucier

hahaha, that gif is awesome

@Scott I like your cat

Scott

20:10

... and she likes you @ZachSaucier (she likes everyone)

Ryan

@Scott how much did you have to do on the app for the apple hat?

Single upvote sufficient?

Scott

just posted a comment.

Yisela

upvoting works too

Scott

I don't think voting or favoriting works.

You have to post something

Yisela

I only UV on android

Scott

20:13

well.. i was at my vote limit so I couldnt' try that :)

@Ryan re: video the logo kind of sucks. But I give him a lot of credit for actually trying to do it while filming. No one can be expected to come up with a great logo in that environment.

Ryan

you think the video sucks or you think the logo sucks? I find it pretty interesting just to watch someone's workflow a little.

Scott

I do find it funny how those in teh business of presentation for their clients don't always think about for their own business. Hat, 5 layers of clothes including a jacket -- all while working indoors :)

The video is interesting. I don't think he developed anything earth-shattering. but I wouldn't expect him to filming a 15 minute session

As the processes goes, it's a great video. You jsut have to kind of disregard where he ends up with the actual artwork.

Ryan

At least he did a logo for a concrete company, not like @ZachSaucier who thinks the entire world is digital :P

Scott

Not his fault. I'm sure given a few days he'd come up with something fantastic.

Ryan

pretty nice size work area / library he's got too for a one man operation

Zach Saucier

20:19

@Ryan What is this RL you speak of?

Scott

I didn't even notice his work area. :)

Yisela

see you later!

Scott

see ya!

Ryan

20:32

1 upvote on droid was sufficient

GiantCowFilms

21:40

@David Same won as @Yisela here on GD.se

David

more bread crumbs about the hair boat hat. meta.stackexchange.com/users/165581/abby-hairboat has the hair boat on lifehacks, still in privet beta. If anyone has a lh.se account and check to see what the circumstances around his 2 answers are that would be great.
