Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne sigh

Serg

7:19 PM

@Videonauth that tune somehow reminds me of the "Hackers" movie with Angelina Jolie

user139252

Lunch time, time to play animal crossing :P

user139252

@Serg It was used in that movie :P

Videonauth

@Serg i love that band tho, thats great music when you need to get something done

Serg

Well , now it makes sense

Videonauth

it has thet special drive you know

user139252

7:20 PM

At least, I think it was that one...

user139252

Might've been Hackers 2.

user139252

Nevermind, I won't be playing Animal Crossing.

Serg

I'm listening to Hyuna right now. K-pop is really awesome

user139252

My roommate has the save file open on the home computer D=

Serg

7:22 PM

@chaskes Oooo, do they have bulgogi ? I love bulgogi

chaskes

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne it'll be perfect for my dad

user136984

Do you think @Oli's trying to tell us something with his latest revision of his Meta question/answer? :P

Zacharee1

:p

user139252

I think he's admitting the guilt :P

user139252

So... The primary voting in 10 minutes... Who's in on it?

Serg

@ParanoidPanda he is saying that we should move on

Zacharee1

7:53 PM

Someone post a link to the election page

user139252

Shoot! Has anyone ever done a debit card transaction they couldn't cover, before?

Zacharee1

huh?

user139252

I used the wrong card because they all look the same, and got an insufficient funds notice...

Zacharee1

heh

user139252

But the store said it went through

Zacharee1

7:54 PM

Can't you just cancel the order?

oh

user139252

It was an in-store purchase

Zacharee1

well then you got a steal

(literally)

user139252

.... Wells Fargo literally just charged me $35 for being $2.17 short -_-

Zacharee1

oh

lol

use another debit card?

user139252

I meant to!

Zacharee1

7:57 PM

I mean to pay the overage charge :p

user139252

Oh, no, I just transferred from my other account.

user139252

I've got two checking accounts. One for paying bills and buying groceries and important stuff, and one for going out and other things that aren't as important. I have 5% of each paycheck deposited to that one as my allowance.

user139252

Usually, I know which is which because I keep them in different sections of my wallet, but I dropped my wallet and just gave them the first one I picked up.

Byte Commander

Sooo... Back in time!

Zacharee1

no

Byte Commander

8:00 PM

Primary phase started

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

Okay, it looks like @WildMan officially got the first Primary vote in our 2016 Ask Ubuntu moderator elections.

Congratulations! :)

user139252

Byte Commander

So, you can give the remaining votes to me now...

Zacharee1

Serg

8:04 PM

Zacharee1

Serg

@Zacharee1 <.< baby don't ban me, don't ban me no more

Zacharee1

Zacharee1

oh cool

Byte Commander

8:07 PM

@Serg one per candidate except yourself.

You had a good start by the way.

Only 5 votes for me so far? Really? :-(

Also, can we have some kind of racing car animation of how the candidates gain votes? That would be cool!

Serg

@terdon is at 26 already ! go go go !

@ByteCommander you're at 10 now

terdon is at 31 already . . .welp , i think we know where this goes

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

8:14 PM

Zacharee1

@Serg the downvotes are probably from your earlier chat rampage

Byte Commander

Going to rewrite my nomination text now.

Serg

Besides, I'll be leaving academia for corporate gruntery soon. Can't be too sure of how much time I can give.

Serg

27 uv, 5 dv :/

i wonder whom did i piss off ( aside form @Zacharee1 )

Videonauth

i wonder if i should lay in bed and play a game and then sleeping and looking at the voting mess after a long sleep ;)

Serg

8:27 PM

@Videonauth good idea, i probably should take a nap. All this voting thingy is stressful

Videonauth

Sergiy no clue either ut i guess the numbers will change over time still

Zacharee1

@Videonauth you should lie in bed, not lay :p

Wild Man

wow

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 ah whatever :p

Zacharee1

@Videonauth learn it! learn the impossible language!

Serg

8:30 PM

Zacharee1

@Serg look it the description?

Videonauth

@Serg Edit 500 posts (excluding own or deleted posts and tag edits).

Serg

Zacharee1

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda see for yourself :p

can I order these by votes?

user136984

8:39 PM

My browser isn't updating the page contents properly so it's hard for me to see...

Serg

28 , 34 uv , 6 dv

Zacharee1

nice

user136984

@Zacharee1: I was just thinking that, I don't think so... Unless there's an option I missed... But I think they don't want you to do that so that you are unbiased.

user136984

Because some might vote just for those with the most votes already.

Zacharee1

what about a button that says "I've Voted" that makes it so you can't vote anymore and so you can sort the votes?

@SEeemployees ^

user136984

8:41 PM

Well, people might regret that button...

Zacharee1

I'm done

Q: StackExchange Election: Primary counter

I want to keep an eye on the votes of the ongoing election, but the unsortedness of the list during the primary election phase makes it hard to keep track of anything. So I wrote a quick script that goes through them all and puts a short overview list at the top, sorted by the current vote count....

Serg

@Videonauth @ByteCommander we're in top 10 !!! o/\o

Q: Run a script after login that prints to the terminal a welcome message?

I want a script that writes to the terminal a welcome message (something like echo "welcome, usr. Linux version..." etc). I have the script written, it works (i.e. it has execute privileges) so I know that's not the issue. I have tried adding it to the /etc/profile.d, /etc/update_motd, and adding...

ubuntu startup

Videonauth

or if you have chromium the equivalent of greasemonkey

Zacharee1

tampermonkey

Serg

monkeymonkey

Zacharee1

now how do I use it? :p

oh

@TheBrownOne you're 12th. You could make it in

Videonauth

8:49 PM

well you simply have the addon with the script loaded running

Byte Commander

I have greasemonkey and installed the script, but although it shows in the list of scripts running on the election page, it does not show anything.

user139252

@Zacharee1 Eh. It's alright. I know there are other, higher rep, more deserving users

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander did you edit it or use @Videonauth's?

user136984

Where am I now in this list?

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda 10 last I checked

@TheBrownOne and you have a job again, so :D

@ParanoidPanda yep, 10

Videonauth

8:51 PM

@ByteCommander you need ot edit the few lines on top at least to have askubuntu.com as url

user136984

Oh, well, I hope it either stays that way or gets better! :D

Byte Commander

AH, now it works.

I missed muru's second edit at the bottom.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda heh

So once it gets to the election, are the votes reset?
