@Prasad Why you will uninstall LAMP if the problem is in P (php)? That is not logical..

If so, re-install PHP.

Prasad

I tried reinstalling Apache and PHP and didn't help

FEichinger

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Hush.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

I think this either needs upticks or deleted, but I'm not sure which...I'm pretty sure the user in question is being obtuse: askubuntu.com/questions/260397/…

Seth

Okay, so it seems like the problem is a great library for generating PDF files with PHP.

well duh!

FEichinger

@Seth Huh?

Seth

00:05

@AbrahamVanHelpsing hmmm....

@FEichinger Huh??

What are you requesting clarification about?

FEichinger

@Seth I ... don't really get the point, I guess.

Of you quoting that, I mean.

Seth

just teasing.

php is evil anyway. use some ruby or python framework

FEichinger

Oh, Hush!

@Prasad - Does it download the actual file? As in: What are the contents of the file?

Seth

:P

FEichinger

@Prasad - And, secondly, does a simple HTML file get displayed properly?

Feb 13 at 22:26, by mateo_salta

nah, looks more like Bubblegum Crisis Salmon color to me

Octavian Damiean

@FEichinger So true! :D

Seth

@FEichinger none of those matches the color.

FEichinger

"Maraschino" kinda does, I think.

Seth

Good grief. What kind of color chart is this?

FEichinger

00:21

The reason we call our Bubblecum Crisis Salmon "red" for simplicity's sake.

Stop arguing over it. Call it red, cause it ain't pink.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

salmon is certainly a color. i had a boss who wore salmon colored jean shorts and a shrek green polo to work at least once a week

the sad part is that when he did, he sorta looked like shrek

mateo_salta

lol, there should be a UX post about this.

Seth

Salmon is a color, 'cause it isn't red and its not pink.

@mateo_salta Wanna do the honors? :D:D

Q: How to best Classify color names in a system of colors

Many times in using general color names in communication, i.e. Red and Green, users are confused when the color is a non-pure form of the color. For Example, in referring to the Red-ish color of the error box on Ask Ubuntu: There is much debate as to what to classify the color as, Here are so...

@mateo_salta heh. either way. i was just getting my knickers in a twist for no good reason

FEichinger

00:51

How is that outside the scope of friggin UX?

Seth

IKR!

mateo_salta

maybe too broad.

FEichinger

"How to communicate colours?" is a more creator-sided discussion, but it's definitely a UX discussion.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

if the freakin nintendo user interface question is on topic...how is communicating a color off-topic?

Seth

Did you get a close vote?

@AbrahamVanHelpsing And what about the coffee bean one?

FEichinger

00:52

That's gonna be a fun meta post, I guess. :P

Seth

Who's gonna do the honors?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

You pick a good question. One or the other:
"Why were the buttons B A?"
"How do I communicate shades of red more clearly?"

FEichinger

I don't have a UX account yet, I believe, so ... not me.

Seth

@FEichinger You need one.

Every SE user needs a UX account.

FEichinger

I don't want one :(

That makes me feel dirty, like having an SO account.

mateo_salta

00:54

here some one read up on this, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_term make me an answer about using some standard terms(if interested of course), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCC-NBS_system

Seth

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Not the nintendo one for sure.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Both are great and fully in the scope of UX.

Q: Blue or red color for counter of new messages?

I'm trying to implement an inbox for users and there is an indicator in the site that shows you how many new messages you have. When I use blue for notifications it nicely fits in the site, and red is OK. From a UX point of view, is it a good practice to show new messages in blue or we should s...

Is a a mod around?

FEichinger

@Seth I love how the accepted answer gives no clue whatsoever about which answers lead to which colours.

Seth

00:57

@FEichinger IKR. The second answer has the most upvotes.

FEichinger

UX - answering your questions with questions.

George Edison

@Abraham: In regards to your question earlier, I always add .pyc at a minimum to .gitignore .

It gets a bit tricky when it comes to settings.py though.

...since those are installation-dependent.

So what I usually do is create another file named base_settings.py and store all installation independent settings in there. Then at the top of settings.py I do this:

from base_settings import *

Then I add all installation dependent settings after that line. I can also override settings that way as well.

(This is all from memory, so I might have missed something. Hopefully you get the general idea, though.)

FEichinger

Screw my network.

I really need to get a new switch here ...

jrg

i should start lying and say i'm 20.

people keep freaking out because of my age, it's starting to get annoying.

FEichinger

@jrg You're making me feel old, for chrissake!

lazyPower

meh

you're mature for your age james

bcbc

why even mention your age. it shouldn't matter

jrg

i like cat gifs, i found a awesome gif of some pink princess flipping a table and i will tell terrible jokes with anyone who will listen.

@bcbc because I still haven't figured out a good way of answering the question "What do you do for a living"

bcbc

03:00

maybe "I'm a student"?

jrg

then there is the follow up: Where do you go to college?

"Oh, I'm still in high school".

(i'm bitter, perplexed, and pretty mad about some reactions to that lately, in case you're wondering. :P)

on the other hand, it's a nice litmus test.

if they make a big deal out of it, then i probably don't want to have anything to do with them.

if they just shrug, say "thats cool" and then carry on from where we were, thats better.

bcbc

I just wouldn't answer personal questions to anybody

some people (especially online) can be ... jerks

I meant: to just anybody

jrg

oh, not online.

online i have that in my profile for various things, its a public fact, not a discussion starter. Except here, where I come and rant about it to the regulars. :P

in-person at work though, even though it's a fairly small company, people are still finding that out.

it's been almost 2 years.

it's a hoot. :P

bcbc

people ask you what you do for a living at work? ;)

jrg

are you familiar with ycombinator?

bcbc

03:09

no

jrg

ok, so the basic idea is ycombinator is a place where you can go, pitch your company, get feedback, maybe walk away with some money in return for a chunk of the company.

i work for a ycombinator-like place, as a quarter of their IT department. as such, i run into a lot of people, both those who work for the same people as I do, and those who are pitching their company.

bcbc

sounds like interesting work

jrg

it's weird, thats for sure.

bcbc

how do you juggle school, work and more importantly, askubuntu ?

jrg

school: Hands-on accounting, project management, etc is the name of the game right now. work: it's work. fun. askubuntu: idle here, fight the other mods for the right to take care of the flags, etc.

A: Can Ubuntu repair windows 7 that won't boot?

I always check out this website before downloading registry software for pc/mac - www.microsoftapple.com - My personal favourite is smart pc fixer because it's just incredibly simple to use and does exactly what it's name suggests. A good mac alternative is detox my mac for similar reasons.

Anything wrong with that?
