that's a mere coincidence... I waited until the trip to Disney last year :)

@MathieuGuindon That's what I'm going to do too :)

did I miss something AGAIN??

No :)

~phew

But I feel like a bull elephant in a china shop at weddings.

I've been to one, and plan to opt out of all other invitations.

That one was my sister, and I have a bunch of siblings left, so...

It was weird enough to be told that my ex and her sister (we're good friends and have been for years) had an AD(H)D diagnosis for a long time

Honestly, I could probably get that diagnosis if I tried, but I've been fine without it this far ;)

Just because programming and strenuous outdoor activity are about the only things that hold my attention...

Movies? No. Games, for a few hours. Books, yes, if it's good.

My family has always said I'm autistic, anyway...

(I mean, most are normal people, they just don't always like the same things as run-of-the-mill people. Some are seriously handicapped by it, but most are just more hyper or don't like the same things.)

@Kaz I've read that most people who get diagnosed when kids usually end up in a fairly similar state, where people can't tell because they know how to mask it.

@Hosch250 there's also the medication aspect to consider

and in that specific case it might have helped that I was a socially oblivious moron until just a few years ago

LOL.

actually not a laughing matter if you get chewed out by your supervisor for chewing her out in front of your peers as a trainee...

LOL.

Sorry, but that made me actually laugh.

something something respect something attention something something

@Kaz you ever get over the longing for coding and used to it?

@IvenBach Get over it? No. But there's many ways to scratch that itch. For me, I just had to accept that if I want to move on to bigger and better (and more lucrative) things, then you have to move beyond buildings things by and for yourself.

@Hosch250 no wonder I feel at home. We’re all odd ducks at this pond.

@IvenBach I've definitely missed this chat ^^

That’s why I have a #SkiwiTab perma open for this room.

it's kind of fun how skiwi's tab usage is a well-established meme in this room without skiwi having terribly many messages in here

^

though it's vastly more messages than our resident lurker @bruglesco

@Vogel612 I like that it's a hashtag now

His tabs precede him wherever he goes.

@Vogel612 shhhh quiet. Our resident lurker is busy coding. Don’t disturb him lest he get knocked out of the zone.

relatedly: Mug still has 25% more messages than Duga

and Duga has basically my number of messages on Hosch

4 more projects to go. Maybe I'll get it all up to 3.0 preview 6 by the end of the weekend.

TTGH, and see y'all later.

Stay safe. Avoid the Pineapples.

@Kaz I think there’s an open source COM addin that would scratch it for you.

and I'm out of stars ^^

whoa that was fast!

@Vogel612 I've missed starring things too

@MathieuGuindon #iUsedToSuckAtWeddings

@Vogel612 wait wut?!

well, you're at 123k in here and Duga only has 103k

I'm generously rounding up, because Hosch has almost 75k

and that makes for a nicer interval where my 24.5k fit in ;)

Globally speaking, Duga is only number 5, though

Good thing [badge:talkative] is only awarded once...

SmokeDetector is on first place, what with having more than double the messages of Cerberus (who's second)

third place goes to an apparently disabled "PulseMonitor" (probably checking Smokey instances uptime

JMG is four and then there's Duga

But no worries, you're still on global page 1

ttgh

@Vogel612 isn't that worrying in itself?

considering that you have 160 all-time rooms and only barely above 200k messages overall ..

not really

gosh 160 rooms

for whatever it's worth... NickCraver has 250k messages on the Meta chat server

and Cerberus is inching ever closer to 500k

@MathieuGuindon I'm at 157, soo ...

I assume being a mod kinda does that to your roomcount if you're handling chat flags

Where do you find this info again? I know you already told me.

@Vogel612 I always meant to be more productive here.

I just never actually learned C# =[

8 Rooms and 32k messages. I don't float around much. I find a good place and stay.

@bruglesco I'm just messing with you 😀 I was surprised that you had less than 100 messages in here, that's all :)

no worries.

92 now. We should celebrate when he hits 100.

Well I could just post gibberish until I get there

tbh I'm surprised its that many

how long has he been here?

me? ~6 months

@IvenBach where are the stats? Do you have to look through the SEDE?

@bruglesco chat user profile

Where are the global stats?

sweet

@bruglesco semi-hidden URL... chat.stackexchange.com/users

make sure to select "all" users and not only "online" users

and order by activity to have them ordered by number of messages

It's fitting how many people on page one are power users/moderators on ELL

so im really only in one room

this one.

@bruglesco that's 98!

@MathieuGuindon I bet I break 100 today!

99!

you just did

Oh?

(Not that I don't have complete control over it)

PARTY!!!

appearnatly i have like 7.5k

@MathieuGuindon Mugs buying!

Now I just need to learn C# so I can actually start contributing

how do i even tell how long ive been here?>

@bruglesco There's a few ducks that can help you with that.

I should probably learn excel and VBE as well

@KySoto the "recent" tab of your messages is paginated.

It's National Holiday weekend here, and I just got home only to find the house empty, so... It's Scotch O'Clock

@bruglesco that's very much optional, actually

@Vogel612 whew, thank god

@KySoto might not be the first message in here, though..

I think I joined SE chat around september 2013, in what was then called "Code Review General Chat"

hmm

renamed to "the 2nd monitor" shortly after

im still trying to find the recent tab of messages...

damn now I feel like an old gramp always telling the same stories

@Vogel612 yeah, not sure where to find this. i thought it would be easy, but im looking in all the wrong places...

@KySoto have a link

huh, i'm 6.6k, surprised it's that high.

interesting

canna find the pagination...

it doesn't have buttons, soo ...

query URL hacking ftw

IIRC you can even adjust pagesize

but don't quote me on that ;)

hmm im not so good at this web stuff

WEW its gtfo time at work

see ya next week

heh, tried to quote "don't quote me", failed. I suck at internets

@KySoto by the by: this is your first message

Laff. I remember that purple ketchup discussion.

@Vogel612 I've already surpassed you in messages for RD.

yeap, you did

I attribute that to me learning what I needed.

I distinctly remember you'd give me info. I'd respond along the lines of. Fail. Nope. Almost. Re-reading. Sorta got it. OK Now I understand your original message.

that might be one factor, the other is that you're consistently more active in here

ugh. commata still trip me up regularly

RE: Not good at web dev. gnarlytown.com made me loose it garish ugliness.

@IvenBach feh. Facebook's worse.
