\*looks in @gnibbler's direction\*
interesting. What exactly needs * escaped which then punches through into the UI?
@Joey Well, I was trying to put in stars for *actions*. I don't want italics.
aah
that explains it :)
I'm too used to text-only protocols. Formatting is confusing in chat :)
Although, arguably, IRC even has colors ;)

Golfing is fun sometimes ... I just got an answer down from 95 to 81, although I didn't think I could get it any shorter.

@Joey That's impressive!

JoeyWindows PowerShell, 81 Since I did not create an implementation when writing the task I feel myself eligible to golf it from the start, too :-) -join" .': "[(($d="$(date)$args"[-8..-1]-ne58)|%{($_-band12)/4})+,4+($d|%{$_%4})] History: 2011-02-26 23:50 (119) First attempt. 2011-02-26 23:55 (...

And all just because Ventero got to 95 too
@Chris: Is it possible to deactivate auto-CW on too many edits?
(because Ventero just asked again how many that were :))
@Joey I can't. But I'm hoping if enough people vote up that thread on meta, it'll get traction.
I can then draw staff members' attention to it.
can't you just poke rchern? ;)
Yes, but it helps if lots of people say they want this, and not just me saying so.
(and I think that were two or three distinct posts on meta, each dealing with a different kind of auto-cw)

Okay, I gotta go. Get all your buddies to vote those threads up. I'll see what I can do. :-D
hf :)
