How come Steffen cannot be pinged here? I didn't know that was a feature..

Erik the Outgolfer

@@131666 I wish I could ping you...

Rory Alsop

@Joshua.J If you haven't been in a room for a while you don't come up as pingable

but mods have superping abilities :-)

Anonymous

Oh, okay thank you Rory.

I am an idiot.

Tom K.

@Joshua.J normal people like us can only ping other users for a number of days after they have left a room

something like 3 or 5

So which one of us is being Steffen a pint?

Anonymous

It can't be me I cannot purchase alcohol, I nominate @TomK. !

Rory Alsop

@Joshua.J trying to see if I can get him a swag pack to celebrate

Anonymous

@RoryAlsop Haha, good idea. That'd be nice. Looks like Tom is buying him that pint then ;) @TomK.

Anonymous

I think I'll order that hoodie I made tonight, lol. Just so I feel like I've achieved something in my short 71 days on the site :p

Erik the Outgolfer

the problem is, swag doesn't exist anymore :(

Tom K.

13:06

if you write a function for a challenge in normal code it is ungolfed. if you try to write it in very few bytes, you are golfing the code. and if you need fewer bytes than another contestant you outgolfed him @RoryAlsop

Pints for everyone!

Rory Alsop

@EriktheOutgolfer ... that isn't absolutely true

Erik the Outgolfer

how many mod hats do you have? 7?

Anonymous

@TomK. I cannot drink so I'll have a pint of diet coke :)

Tom K.

Rory has a cellar full of swag

Anonymous

Erik the Outgolfer

13:07

and I don't think mod hats are "swag"

Rory Alsop

SE do provide swag for various things. SE sent me a big box o swag for the B-Sides Glasgow conference other Rory and I hosted in April

So we gave them to all the attendees

And I'm seeing whether I can get some swag to take to DefCon

Tom K.

that's gotta hurt... being called "other Rory"

Anonymous

Best way of getting swag is to go to a talk Rory is at :)

I wish I could go to DefCon.

@SteffenUllrich \o/

Rory Alsop

@TomK. to him I am the other Rory as well

Anonymous

@SteffenUllrich Next step: catch one of The Bears.

Rory Alsop

probably offends all the other Rories

Steffen Ullrich

Thanks for the congratulations. I'm usually not in the chat since this is too much noise for me.

Tom K.

@RoryAlsop well, then that's fitting I guess

Anonymous

13:10

Too much noise? :'(

Rory Alsop

@SteffenUllrich Well done sir. I popped a wee post up: security.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3017/485

Anonymous

My favourite part of that title @RoryAlsop "(first human member…)"

Rory Alsop

@Joshua.J 2 bears and a Steffen :-)

Erik the Outgolfer

are we sure he's a human and not a goomba? :)

Anonymous

Soon we'll find out Steffen is actually a Bear lol.

Rory Alsop

13:11

@SteffenUllrich I think you may get a note from SE re swag to celebrate :-)

you'll need to give them permission to send stuff to a postal address

Anonymous

Rory if I get 1337 flags, 1337 edits can I have swag? Joke. :p

Erik the Outgolfer

@TomK. nitpick: needs to be in the same language

Forests rep graph is incredible, lol.

Mine is rocky at best.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Joshua.J lol if this is too much noise, Steffen would've hated TNB before the stricter Chatiquette was enforced

Anonymous

13:21

Can you phrase that in "I've not been here long speak" ? :P

Anonymous

TNB?

Erik the Outgolfer

The Nineteenth Byte. BTW it's better now

I see, thank you.

Assume I know nothing and I will tell you otherwise, lol.

@Joshua.J you never know

Anonymous

Okay I will make it my mission.

Anonymous

Then I will stop with the flags and edits

And stay on 1337 forever lol

Rory Alsop

@EriktheOutgolfer and this chat was very chatty before a kind of explosion, which reset it somewhat

Erik the Outgolfer

link please?

Tom K.

and then Tom came along and revived the chat and we all lived happily ever after

You're far too cool for me to deal with @TomK.

I hope everyone else was being sarcastic then... ;)

Tom K.

pretty sure Rory wasn't

Hmm.

Rory Alsop

yarr - it was a while back now

Tom K.

well, maybe in regard to the explosion..

Rory Alsop

@SteffenUllrich - apparently you should receive an email from SE, but that will only get to you if you have your email settings to include Community Milestones

Tom I think I was a major factor in lighting this chat back up ;)

I am here all the time but I dont have a life so.

Tom K.

@Joshua.J be less here and answer more questions :P

Anonymous

@TomK. It's hard for me to answer questions, because firstly I have to build up the courage to do it, secondly I have to make sure I am right or I get anxious and never post.

Anonymous

Thirdly, there is only certain questions I feel I can answer and remain correct.

Tom K.

yeah I get that

Anonymous

All in all I need specific questions which I know I 100% know what I am talking about.

Anonymous

Because even if I am 99% sure I still don't want to risk it in fear of being wrong.

Anonymous

14:35

However, I am currently working on an answer which is some in-depth network-security type stuff.

Tom K.

I wouldn't answer questions where I'm 60% sure, but I would definitely answer them if I'm 99% sure

Anonymous

The only thing I get sad about is because the questions I answer are usually quite specific or shall we say about a specific topic, even if I put in a lot of effort I don't tend to get much recognition / votes on it.

Anonymous

Which is fair and I get why, it just makes me sad.

Tom K.

yeah, I know your feeling

Anonymous

Take this one for example - security.stackexchange.com/questions/150733/… it took me quite a while to write that answer, I had to make sure I remembered all the password types Cisco support and what type of hashing they use.

Anonymous

14:37

And it got two votes.

Tom K.

these are my Favorite Tags:
certification, iso27000, iso27001, iso27005, privacy, risk-management, standards

Unfortunately I couldn't write much on the Crypto side because I am not a Bear but I tried to link as many posts as I could for the Crypto side of things so that the OP understood the "Cisco" side and a little on the Crypto side without me having to attempt (and fail) on the Crypto front.

Tom K.

if you write a good answer on a "popular" question tagged with iso27001, you get 4 upvotes

but either you want that or you don't. so there's the "deal with it" spirit again :P

Anonymous

Yeah, I don't tend to answer the "popular" questions that often in fear of being wrong, I just leave them for someone with more knowledge than myself.

Anonymous

Not to mention I am really not that knowledgeable in this field nor do I claim to be, I am mostly here to learn myself it's just if I can answer something, I will.

Anonymous

14:40

Yeah, exactly Tom. I don't mind too much, it's just inevitable when you don't answer the "popular" questions.

Anonymous

I am guessing it was you who just UV'd that, lol. I am almost at 1000 now :d

Tom K.

what?? me?? ;)

no, actually I read that answer a while ago and just forgot to UV it

Anonymous

lol. If I can publish this answer today and get a few upvotes and so some edits I might hit 1000 at the end of the day.

Anonymous

Oh, well thank you either way! :D

Anonymous

I tend to try and answer the Cisco ones as I sit on Cisco kit all day.

Anonymous

14:43

Which means if the OP asks questions I can generally answer them.

Is there any danger in putting the ID (primary_key) of an ticketing-order database on the physical ticket of the user related to that ID?
