Blem

11:01

talking about that, is the X games any good?

3ventic

@Blem No idea, bought the bundle, didn't even install the games

Wondering the same

Blem

I thought about buying the bundle, but then I decided not to because i dont know anything about the games

5pike

@Blem I never played them. What I heard that they are massive economy simulations

In space

EXTREMELY complex

Blem

so single player EVE

5pike

@Blem I heard it's even more complicated

If you like that, go for it

Blem

11:04

don't have time for that, to many other games to play

spyder

EVE is so boooooooring

X are better

5pike

@Blem Yeah. A friend lent me X3. I looked at the manual and was like

kalina

and that's not including my list of unplayed Origin games

which includes the new C&C game, that I'm in the beta for, and haven't even installed yet

Arperum

@kalina Universe sandbox isn't too much, fun for a little bit and then you get bored. you can only throw so many moon sized teapots at the earth.

Blem

@kalina I could play Borderlands 2 or Saints Row: The Third with you if you decide to play them

kalina

11:13

its not even just borderlands 2

I preordered the game and the season pass

and haven't even installed it yet

5pike

@kalina WUT?

WHY?

Blem

I got all the DLC but i am only level 19 or so

kalina

same with Bioshock Infinite

preordered it with the intention of playing it while I was on holiday

and played simcity instead

Blem

@kalina i skiped Bioshock Infinite because i had Bioshock 1 and 2 that i havent fisnished

kalina

I haven't even played Bioshock 1 or 2

5pike

11:15

Oh boy - 1 is so good

spyder

@kalina Booooring games

Blem

I played a bit of Bioshock 1, was pretty good but then IRL happened

kalina

ok I just got a "1 is so good" and "borrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiingggggggggggggggg" in the space of a few seconds

DON'T CONFUSE ME LIKE THAT

schrodinger's bioshock

5pike

@kalina Meh...play it yourself and decide...

Blem

Do you know what else is booooring?

11:16

@kalina That's the next game.

kalina

@Blem Four Stores, any difficulty

@Blem @OrigamiRobot's face

spyder

@Blem Dragon Age 2

Blem

@kalina I was going to say @OrigamiRobot's face

5pike

@spyder That is common knowledge..

Blem

11:18

that reminds me i bought Fallout:NV that i need to play at some point

and Dark Sector

Q: Is it possible to get the Return to Castle Wolfenstein prequel maps on the PC?

In the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game, (Subtitled Operation Resurrection and Tides of War respectively), There are a few Prequel missions based in a small town and ancient catacombs in Egypt. Feeling nostalgic, I just installed the Steam version, and was a little disappointed that these prequ...

OrigamiRobot

My face is pretty boring.

Blem

OrigamiRobot

That's not my face...

Blem

11:28

@OrigamiRobot definitely not, it is an Interesting face

OrigamiRobot

Definitely not my face then.

kalina

I'm bored

I'm holding you all responsible

Arperum

@kalina I'm holding you responsible for not entertaining me.

5pike

@Arperum exactly

kalina

@Arperum *dances*

3ventic

11:31

I'm going to stop being bored and going to play something.

Arperum

Share the blame.

5pike

@kalina Getting better.

kalina

@3ventic I hate you for not being tied down to a day job

Arperum

@3ventic I should stop being bored and work more on the brainreader software PoC I have to deliver.

3ventic

@kalina I'm tied down to a day school

kalina

11:32

@3ventic not the same thing

3ventic

but I only have 18 hours a week

kalina

everybody knows people only turn up to school once in a blue moon

3ventic

and an hour is 45 minutes because logic.

Arperum

@3ventic I want my workweek to be like that kind of Finnish schoolweek.

kalina

before I dropped out of college I spent more time in the break room than in class

Blem

11:33

@kalina Go watch the new Episode of Pokemon Rusty, and if you haven't seen it before you got 5 episodes to catch up!

kalina

I did all my AS levels and then figured it was a waste of my life

Blem

kalina

and now AS levels are a not even a real qualification

because they've been abandoned

3ventic

I only had 90 minutes school today

kalina

so w/e

IN OTHER NEWS

I am off work next week

so I will be living truly American hours

waking up in the afternoon

going to sleep as the sun comes up

3ventic

Since everything's bigger in America, do hours last for 70 minutes?

5pike

@kalina Drinking and smoking....

Arperum

@kalina go to Finland: set @3ventic on fire for stupid school hours.

kalina

@5pike I don't drink alcohol

5pike

11:35

@kalina Ok, then just smoking.

kalina

I don't smoke tobacco

3ventic

@Arperum I choose my hours :3

5pike

@kalina but you do consume weed.

OrigamiRobot

@3ventic You're thinking of Texas.

Arperum

@3ventic Even more of a reason.

OrigamiRobot

11:36

Everything's bigger in Texas.

kalina

@5pike I don't discuss such things, people cry about me making my own choices in life and then talking about them

While they talk about their alcohol consumption and other random habits they have

3ventic

@OrigamiRobot Ah, okay.

kalina

because... double standards

@OrigamiRobot not everything...

5pike

@kalina Yeah yeah yeah... But I am not here to judge..

kalina

@5pike well fine, YES I SHALL CONSUME LARGE QUANTITIES

OrigamiRobot

11:37

My solution to double standards is to complain about everything equally. read: as much as I can

kalina

in between waiting for people to ready up for the next mission

3ventic

People always find something in your life to complain about.

Arperum

@kalina And while waiting for said people to get the fuck on the roof?

kalina

PACK THAT BOWL, BREATHE THAT SMOKE

I am investigating an issue with one of our applications getting past the login screen and then displaying a throbber on screen and hanging there

Michel

I still don't understand why i keep getting down-votes in this answer... o.o

Good morning bridge people! and Lazer and Ponies and ...

Private Pansy

12:07

kalina

@PrivatePansy you might actually be able to help me here

my understanding of javascript is not fantastic

Private Pansy

Go on

kalina

however I believe our product team are full of shit and getting it wrong

Michel

rofl

kalina

one of our customers uses one of our products via something called 'WebVPN'

which obfuscates URLs and allows an application being served inside a network to be available over the internet through a portal

Private Pansy

12:11

Seen that before. The National University of Singapore uses it

A Cisco product, hmmm

kalina

so the URL "http://localhost/application" becomes something like "https:/host/+CSCO+0075676763663A2F2F726562666772657661746A726F++/application"

the issue the customer is having

is all of our jQuery stuff just dies

they can log in and then nothing else happens

that's because of the "+"'s in the URLs right?

I'm sure + is a special character in js

Private Pansy

Is it because the jQuery is being loaded from an external CDN and the URLs are being rewritten?

Michel

the images work fine? are you referring to your local files or external (CDN)?

Private Pansy

@kalina Well, sure, but it being in the URL has nothing to do with jQuery or the JavaScript

kalina

no jQuery is being loaded from the same web server serving the application

Private Pansy

12:13

Unless they're taking the URL and evaling it, which is highly unusual

kalina

and all of the asynchronous requests will be fetching stuff from urls with a whole load of +'s in it

the application runs fine locally on the server, just doesn't run at all via this webvpn thing

Michel

@kalina it's very likely that the path is being lost.

Private Pansy

Unless eval is being used, the URL shouldn't have anything to do with it, since the URL is just a string, and you can have whatever you want in strings and JavaScript won't care

@Michel That sounds more likely, yes

Let me think... you're thinking the + aren't being URL encoded correctly

You can load up the site, open your browser's console and look at the network tab to see if the scripts are being loaded correctly

kalina

let me start my entire process again using chrome rather than IE7

that was a mistake

Michel

@kalina Yes

Q: Changing Language in Bastion (PC)

I have purchased Bastion among other games with the Humble Indie Bundle 9 and I'd like to play the game in English, but for some reason the game is in German. Is there any way to change the language to English? I haven't found any language settings in the menu and I have set my Humble account to...

bastion humble-bundle

kalina

right so I click on something that uses jquery, I get the throbber, nothing else happens

if I click on something that doesn't use jquery, everything works fine

Private Pansy

Check the console and the network tab

Ctrl + Shift + I

RedRiderX

Aargh, Chrome! Why have you done this!

kalina

@PrivatePansy reload the page?

Private Pansy

Best if you do

kalina

12:19

this webvpn thing is one of the most horrible things I've ever been exposed to

Yuki

@kalina Clearly, you need to drop that and try jQuery.

Private Pansy

It's pretty commonly used, though why won't they just set up a real VPN I don't know

kalina

@Yuki like I said, if I use the software locally, it works fine

Private Pansy

@kalina It's an old SO joke

Perhaps the average user is too dumb to set up VPN properly

kalina

so what am I looking for on the network tab, any indication of it going off and hitting other pages to get the data?

because there are none

Private Pansy

12:21

It should show you everything that's being loaded by the page

Look at the console tab first. If there's a JS error, that could be your cause. Otherwise, look at the network tab to see if the files are being loaded correctly

kalina

no error on the console tab

hm

what is http status code 304?

Private Pansy

Redirection I think

kalina

oh no, it's cached and hasn't been reloaded

Arperum

300something is redirection

Private Pansy

Not modified

@kalina Ctrl + F5

There's also an option in the network tab to stop the browser from using cache, but remember to turn that off after you're done

kalina

12:25

is there any way I can see the url that jquery is being used to fetch after the throbber is up?

Private Pansy

Just hit the clear button after the throbber shows up?

Also, use small request rows if you need to see a lot of requests

kalina

well since everythings in order, I imagine its all the stuff after the throbber loads up

but they're all images

Private Pansy

See any red?

kalina

no red

well there is a vertical red line on the timeline that is red, but I'm guessing thats not what you mean

Private Pansy

Then all the requests are completing correctly, at least

@kalina No, that's not it

kalina

12:29

meh, I'll just blame our developers, seems like the right thing to do

Private Pansy

Well, you can try debugging the JS, but that's a bit of a pain and without anything to go on could take a very long time

kalina

I'm just going to escalate it :p

ta for assistance

Yuki

@kalina We'll pass the blame off to HR like we usually do.

Not sure how that works, but we'll get it done.

Private Pansy

@Yuki You spin the bottle and assign the blame to the unlucky victim

Yuki

@PrivatePansy It seems that our spin-the-blame bottle only ever points to HR. In fact, I think HR is the only option.

Sconibulus

12:33

HR is always at fault, either for hiring too few people, too many people, or the wrong people

Yuki

@Sconibulus And sometimes for hiring the right people.
