Does this look bad?

(For a link on a landing page)

Alex A.

The white on white isn't my favorite

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Alright -- what would you suggest?

Alex A.

Conceptually I like it though

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

\o/

Alex A.

I would suggest a color other than white

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:02 AM

If I changed the background?

Alex A.

Either the background or the color the text turns when hovered over

@AlexA. Cool, thanks! :D

Programming languages fall out of my hands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

^ Looks good.

Seahawks colors

I don't do/follow sports.

Alex A.

2:05 AM

Neither do I

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) West division. The Seahawks joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks are owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and are currently coached by Pete Carroll. Since 2002, the Seahawks have played their home games at CenturyLink Field (formerly Qwest Field), located south of downtown Seattle. The Seahawks previously played...

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ When was Y made? :o

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

XD okay

@VoteToClose About... two days ago?

Alex A.

But you can't live in Seattle and not see Seahawks everything everwhere all the time.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I've been thinking about it since that other thing.

VoteToClose

Oh. D: I wish I saw it earlier.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:06 AM

Y?

Alex A.

Even our metro buses flash between the route number and "Go Seahawks!"

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. huh.

Sealex.

Alex A.

Yeah

What

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Seattle + alex = *Se*alex

Alex A.

Is that like Seadrus' torso attached to my legs?

Oh, okay

Also, the more you know, you can hit shift+space to go up a page.

El'endia Starman

@VoteToClose Shift is quite often the modifier key that reverses an action.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

*without following the link.

Geobits

Yep, like shift+alt+f4

VoteToClose

@El'endiaStarman Don't take this away from me. D:

El'endia Starman

2:10 AM

Ctrl+Tab -> cycle through tabs to the right. Ctrl+Shift+Tab -> cycle through tabs to the left.

Alex A.

@Geobits That just brought back all of my childhood memories

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman Alt+Tab, Alt+Shift+Tab

Alex A.

The shift key really does work wonders

El'endia Starman

yup

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

And it's a good euphemism

Aw shift!

Geobits

2:11 AM

I dunno, I always thought it looked a little............... shifty

bud un tss

Has anyone here played the online game of that name? The shift key toggles whether you're playing in the black area or the white area.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

YES OMG

I've heard of it but never played

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I need a clever name for my landing page ._.

halp?

Alex A.

In the world of clinical trials, there are reports called lab shift tables, which show the shifts in laboratory measurements over the course of the study. At a place I worked a few years ago, there was a guy who would purposefully misspell "shift" in the program names to generate the reports. He... didn't last long there.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Helipad

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. I want to meet this guy

Geobits

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Should I ask why a landing page needs a clever name?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:14 AM

@Geobits It's a page of links. That's boring?

Geobits

What does the name add, though? Just make it less boring if that's what you want.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

meh

Alex A.

Helicopters land on helipads, helicopters are used in action movies => helipads are exciting. QED.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

humans are used in action movies => humans are exciting.

Alex A.

Humans are garbage. Dogs are better.

Hello

Alex A.

Bonjour

quartata

are we under attack from helipuppies

Alex A.

*dogcopters

Geobits

I thought they were puppycopters.

Alex A.

2:21 AM

Be careful if you Google Image search "dogcopter" though, because one of the suggested searches is "dongcopter," which is not the same thing.

quartata

Wooflcopters?

Geobits

Helibarkers.

quartata

subtle meme was too subtle

Doorknob

I just did this except with 13 bytes

:P

El'endia Starman

That should be an ad for PPCG.

Geobits

2:23 AM

@quartata Not too subtle. But as has been noted, subtlety doesn't go over well here. I've tried :(

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^^

Doorknob

@El'endiaStarman I stole it from the ads post actually

Alex A.

@Doorknob You did what, fist pumped as an infant?

El'endia Starman

@Doorknob Oh, that's probably why I recognize it.

Aside from people posting it in here on occasion.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Also, since nobody seemed to get it, remember by Rien number challenge?

I'm a bit confused why I'm getting downvotes on that post. My best guess is that people are finding it uninteresting

@Calvin'sHobbies I'll take a look and send you a gist later

@Doorknob you don't say :P

Quill

I was going to write a userscript to turn on replying to yourself, but I thought that'd be weird

Maltysen

@Doorknob brb setting my email password to the first one in the first list

Geobits

2:41 AM

@NathanMerrill I haven't downvoted it, but it may be because it's very similar to this one posted last night. They're both "take an input word and see which list it's on".

Alex A.

@Maltysen Oh nice you should send me your login credentials afterward

Maltysen

@AlexA. i would send you my bank account credentials also, but they don't work after I sent them to that nice nigerian prince

Nathan Merrill

@Geobits huh I haven't seen that one

Alex A.

@Maltysen What u gonna do without dat dosa money son

Nathan Merrill

but yeah, they are similar in concept

Doorknob

2:43 AM

@AlexA. he might only have enough money to afford World Small Dosa ;(

Maltysen

@AlexA. its ok, he said he'd send me a hundred billion trillion dosa credits after he got the paperwork sorted out

Alex A.

What are dosa credits

I want them

Geobits

You don't know dosa credits? :O

Alex A.

@Doorknob Tragic

Maltysen

@AlexA. the national currency of nigeria, apperently

Alex A.

2:44 AM

@Geobits Is it the new Dogecoin?

Doorknob

Dosacoin

Geobits

@Maltysen I thought that was avocads.

Doorknob

avodads*

Maltysen

@Geobits that's what the other prince said. Maybe they changed it in between

Alex A.

@Doorknob Avodads and guacamoms.

Doorknob

guacamommy

sounds better :P

True facts are accurate

How's that look?

Black on dark gray? Near-impossible to read :/

Needs clever name >_>

Doorknob

Also, ಠ_ಠ spaces in filenames

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Geobits

2:48 AM

@Doorknob It's Windows. Clearly he threw the rules away long ago.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob The space is in the user. I can't change that; my dad set up the computer.

Geobits

and in github site

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wait, does windows 10 have aero again?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

What spaces? >_>

Doorknob

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ಠ_ಠ at operating systems that aren't sane

Nathan Merrill

2:50 AM

@Maltysen no

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob yeah windows is pretty insane

Maltysen

@NathanMerrill oh ok, then, i still hate microsoft

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen I'm on windows 8.

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ did u use a special software to get that aero-like look?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen where?

Nathan Merrill

2:52 AM

he's on 8

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen At the bottom?

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ bottom & top

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

The top is firefox, the bottom is default.

Geobits

+1 for the pandora tab, +1 for the website itself, -∞ for basically everything else in the image

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh, its not actually transparent

Nathan Merrill

2:53 AM

window's taskbar is seethrough by default

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^

Maltysen

@Geobits also +1 for atom

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits One of those things is this tab.

Cyoce

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oration inspired me to create a language

Geobits

Well I said basically... you don't get points up or down for something I already knew you had open. Although it being in ff is a negative imo :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:54 AM

@Cyoce :D

@Geobits ಠ_ಠ

:D + ಠ_ಠ = .__.

Nathan Merrill

what's the tab right next to the chat window (starts with code golf)?

Geobits

That's the main site, with the userscript I think.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^

Nathan Merrill

ah, I don't use the userscript

Liam

Do people hate on ff for security reasons?

Geobits

2:55 AM

people hate on ff for a variety of reasons or no reason at all :D

Nathan Merrill

I've heard a variety of reasons.

geobits'd

Doorknob

I used to use Firefox, but then Mozilla did a stupid and deprecated XPCOM/XUL, and it turned out Chromium ran much faster on my laptop anyway

Nathan Merrill

I personally don't use it because its slower than chrome

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

For me, Chrome is way slower.

Liam

that's weird

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:56 AM

I know.

Geobits

Chrome is a bit slower to start up for me, but browses faster. Since I never really close it...

Alex A.

@Liam Not really. They handle things differently with memory and processes and stuff.

Doorknob

Chrom{ium,e} does it the sane way though

Liam

hmm well I usually hear about chrome being fastest

Alex A.

By some reports, Safari is the fastest.

Nathan Merrill

2:58 AM

oddly enough, I actually had Chrome freeze on me today

Liam

(no one uses mac..)

Nathan Merrill

it'd been a really long time since the browser itself was frozen

Alex A.

@Liam I do

Liam

I use safari on my ipad

Doorknob

@AlexA. by carefully selected reports, done in very carefully selected circumstances...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:58 AM

@Doorknob Like the Dvorak reports

Calvin's Hobbies

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ A serious opinion: Looks fine, except the bg is far too dark, it blends in too much with the small black text.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Calvin'sHobbies I changed it to white, if that helps.

Liam

I used edge for awhile

it actually works pretty well

Alex A.

Doorknob

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ it would also look better not-centered IMO

Alex A.

2:59 AM

@Liam (no one uses windows..)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob alright thanks

@AlexA. o_o
