YT vids are so friggin loud nowadays. I have my master vol on 2%(!) and it is fairly loud.
 
And they do not normalize their audio tracks. Where the intro is 3x louder than the vid. Or worse: The levels change throughout the video.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Youtube.
 
Oh, thanks.
Alright! Finally published a version of the specs for my programming language
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Why is there so much glowy text? Kind of annoying >_<
 
@Doorknob I know, I just resurrected a blog from my CSS-crazy self.
I just got rid of the monospace entry font ;-;
 
11:11 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That theme is stuck in the 90s
 
It indeed is.
 
BTW, if you want, you can get a free TLD from the freenom pool.
Works with blogspot afaik.
 
TLD? :/ freenom pool?
 
Top Level Domain
.tk, .cf, .ga, .ml etc. are now free.
 
sweet!
.cf ^_^
thanks so much for the info
I don't have a phone/phone number. Ah well.
 
11:19 PM
You don't have to have one.
 
So this is buying a domain name but you still have to host it yourself, right?
Idk how internet
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Just fake it. They don't care at all

@AlexA. It's a domain name. He's already hosted on Blogspot. He can either frame-cloak, 301 or DNS-connect his domain (blogger offers CNAME I think).
 
11:21 PM
I just faked everything. Life is good.
I live in nebraska!
 
> I live in nebraska!
My condolences.
 
hahahaha
hahahahahha
 
XD nr
I JUST REALIZED: text acronyms is english golfing.
 
Yes
@Sp3 also lives in Nebraska.
 
11:24 PM
As does @PhiNo.
 
Nebraska, NSW, Australia. Seems legit. :P
 
And @Doork.
 
And you ^_^
XD
 
@AlexA. Subtle.
 
11:25 PM
I AM A MASTER OF SUBTLETY
 
@minxomat How do I freenom? :P
 
Oh dont ask me about THAT blogspot DNS record. It's somewhere in the settings.
Here's a tut from blogger: helplogger.blogspot.com/2014/07/…
 
Tut?
 
Tutorial
 
11:31 PM
Oh, okay

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ But if you really want a good blogging platform you should dump Blogger all together and switch to either your own server with Ghost or AnchorCMS or just use silvrback like me :P
 
Why Ghost over WordPress?
 
11:34 PM
...
 
Because Wordpress is huge, clunky and convoluted.
 
CONFUSED
I don't have money. Are any of those free?
 
Both IIRC
 
Anchor is free, but not hosted.
 
Define "IIRC" and "not hosted" please
 
11:35 PM
silvrback is $21 p.a.
 
IIRC == If I remember correctly
 
Not hosted == You have to host the website yourself
 
^
 
Kay, then is that free ?
 
11:36 PM
WP is hosted, which means your stuff is hosted on the WP servers.
 
Yeah, but I'd take silvr over WP for a dev blog every time.
 
Ghost is free if not hosted but you can pay for hosting...?
 
.........................................
 
Is that true, @minxomat?
 
Yes.
 
11:37 PM
Cool, thanks.
 
I cannot think. I will use blogger until I can.
The last time I tried WP, my mind blew up trying to change the default font.
 
Ghost uses markdown, like SE and GitHub.
 
silvr, Ghost, AnchorCMS etc. all use github flavored MD afaik.
Anchor messes up linefeeds sometimes though.
 
WP is in its own little world though
I can't remember what they use but it isn't markdown
Or it is and I'm wrong
Idk
 
WP uses a WYSIWYG editor. Atrocious.
 
11:40 PM
Haha
 
Or raw html.
 
Gross!
 
WYSIWYG is a concept that never, ever works. Ever. Always give users access to the markdown (no matter if it's html, md or BB)...
 
BB?
 
11:41 PM
BBCode.
 
Not familiar with it
 
I use WordPress and I never use the WYSIWYG editor. It's alll HTML editing for me.
 
A RTF-like form of markdown.
Used in every forum software.
 
Oh god, and you write it like raw RTF?
That sounds painful.
 
11:42 PM
BBCode or Bulletin Board Code is a lightweight markup language used to format posts in many message boards. The available tags are usually indicated by square brackets ([ ]) surrounding a keyword, and they are parsed by the message board system before being translated into a markup language that web browsers understand—usually HTML or XHTML. BBCode was first introduced in 1998 by the messageboard software Ultimate Bulletin Board (UBB) implemented in Perl. In 2000 BBCode was used in PhpBB - an internet forum system written in PHP. == Tags == == Implementation == BBCode is typically implemented by...
 
WYSIWYG is like communism: it should work ideally, but can never work.

+199 for today and 17 minutes left...
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Tell that to North Korea. Wait a sec...
 
haha
 
11:49 PM
bleh
/me looks for an easy code-golf question to answer in eleven minutes to earn that last rep point
 
@ThomasKwa Look at mine ^_^
 
I will
 
Many thanks to the person who just +1'd me
 
Oh wow. 2Nd place is not bad for BASIC
 
@ThomasKwa That was me. I wanted to not hear any more indirect vote-begging in the chat.
 
sorry
 
haha
