How often do you guys as sysadmin go outside? <-- help Jacob understand why an extra little bit of Vitamin D during the week is a good thing ;)

@drachenstern Here IT is split up between two buildings, about half a mile apart. Usually works out that I have a meeting in the other building a couple of times a week. Then there's the walk to/from the car in the morning, at lunch, and in the afternoon.

In the warmer months I usually spend at least most of one day per week doing outside chores, not to mention the hikes that should hopefully be happening more frequently now that the little one's a little older. Though those aren't related to my professional life.

@drachenstern: Sunlight makes me sparkle.

@Iain happy with either

Iain

never seen iterence used before

14:35

@Iain Neither have I, but anybody familiar with the word 'reiterate' should be able to parse it fine.

I like that word, though, "iterance". Say it a few times, it has a nice mouth-feel.

Our code drops are called "Iterations", plus when we commit new versions of our VM classes we clone them out as "Iterences" or "Iterations" for however many we need. I wasn't aware it wasn't such a well known word.

oh god

what a hangover

Jacob

16:26

hello guys

@coredump I feel like I have one... but its from allergies :(

@coredump My favorite is when you're driving home after lunch and then the hangover kicks in.

coredump

@packs to be honest I am not sure if it is a hangover or if it is the end of the drunkness

packs

17:01

@coredump I tend to work under the assumption that if my hangover kicks in 4-5 hours after waking up, then I was probably still drunk.

Luckily, that hasn't happened since I became an old man.

@packs it was the marriage of a good friend, so I think I kinda exaggerated :P

Those will do it. My last time was my bachelor party.

anyone about ?

Ben Pilbrow

I am for a bit

I'm off to do the pub quiz in a bit with some friends :P

Iain

I have been 'fixing' a userscript for greasemonky, can you do me a quick favour vote up a random question of mine - you can take it back off again in a couple of minutes

Ben Pilbrow

You mean an answer... right? :P

Iain

yep

Ben Pilbrow

OK, I'll do this one

A: Block facebook even in the case users get their hands on tor, freegate and similar applications

What you have isn't really a technical problem, it's a management problem, don't try to make it a technical problem. You need to have an acceptable use policy that clearly defines what users can and can't do with the resources provided by your organisation. This should also detail what steps may ...

Iain

19:35

thanks

Ben Pilbrow

Done

Iain

ok take it away again - it works

;)

thanks

Ben Pilbrow

Meh it's a good answer, I'll leave it

Just don't tell!

Iain

Ben Pilbrow

Gah, blast the non-delete-after-2-minutes

Iain

19:37

I can edit and you can removbe then

Ben Pilbrow

I mean that chat message

I'm happy for the upvote to stay

Iain

anyway I fixed the SO Live script which makes me happy too

Ben Pilbrow

Hmm I wonder if GreaseMonkey works on FF4 yet

Iain

not sure I'm still on 3

Ben Pilbrow

Last time I checked it was b0rked, I'm just having another look

Iain

19:44

I have a bunch of scripts that make SE just a little bit better

the best being the one that swaps the preview and edit boxes

Ben Pilbrow

Ooh it seems to have worked. That was... well.... unexpected lol

Iain

ooh then an upgrade to FF4 may be in order

Ben Pilbrow

Ooh it seems to have worked. That was... well.... unexpected lol

It's still RC2, but it works alright for me

So is the one on StackApps busted?

Q: SO Live! -- live updates to your reputation score.

Screenshot About This userscript, based on SOApi.js, injects itself in all SE pages and polls the API for reputation changes every 60 seconds. When your reputation changes, this is quietly announced at the top of the page and the top reputation counter is joyfully updated. The notifica...

Iain

yep but it's easilly fixed now

use the greasemonky to edit it and change the linkify() function to
function linkify(change){
var url= "http://" + site + "/questions/" + change.post_id + "/-1";
return ("<a href="+url+">"+change.title+"</a>");

}

Ben Pilbrow

Cool, thanks

Ben Pilbrow

20:25

Hmm I think SO Live is broken for me

Never mind... pub time!

@BenPilbrow the author has (I think) fixed it
function linkify(change){
// see chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/479425#479425
dummy = $("<hack/>")
what_I_want = $("<a/>").text(change.title)
.attr("href", "http://" + so_live_site + "/q/" + change.post_id + "/-1")
dummy.append(what_I_want)
return dummy[0].innerHTML
}

@pauska it seems that the problem I was seeing had something to do with a USB driver conflict (where one of the conflicting drivers was uss720); fortunately it appears to be resolved now, without needing to revert to an earlier kernel.
