@badp You missed.

badp

@GraceNote I missed what? My own sulking?

kalina

anybody I want to be able to contact me has my mobile number

Grace Note

I said naught about making a fake profile.

badp

oh

Samuele Mattiuzzo

@kalina i have a fake one on fb, as i said, just for spotify. no posts, no friends, no nothing.

Q: Sold vile armour before getting vile set

I think I must sold the vile armour - and, guess what - now I need it! What can I do? Thx I've been back to the tree twice but not won it again... It's not in the store ...help?

infinity-blade-2

badp

@SamueleMattiuzzo You don't need a facebook account for spotify

kalina

@SamueleMattiuzzo I don't see the point in that

Grace Note

I do recall the circumstances behind your own ban, after all.

Samuele Mattiuzzo

@badp i know. i have spotify since the beginning, when fb was needed, and didn't bother to change

badp

oh. YOU CHEATER

Samuele Mattiuzzo

11:01

lol

badp

so are you now a paying customer or are you limited by the 10 hours/week thing?

Samuele Mattiuzzo

@kali

lol.

wrong button :|

@badp i'm a paying customer, why?

badp

@SamueleMattiuzzo just wondering about the undocumented six month cutoff

Samuele Mattiuzzo

?

what's bothering you about it?

kalina

everything is bothering me today

Samuele Mattiuzzo

11:05

there there

kalina

it's because the moment I arrived at work I got accused of not completing something I wasn't asked to do, after I spent until 10pm lastnight on the customer in question's system reconfiguring

djsmiley2k

laser eye them.

kalina

ever since then I've been in a terrible mood

Samuele Mattiuzzo

@kalina happens here all the time, I add a feature to our software and they always reply "great, but where's this X feature?"

and most of the time, trying to raise a point will is just useless and totally unhealthy for you :/

kalina

I am intolerant to stupid people criticising my work

and by the time I've finished with the person in question, she will understand never to blame her own incompetence on me

Grace Note

11:24

Uf. That is ill.

Samuele Mattiuzzo

Needless to say, but in every workplace you'll have to deal with people like this. I've put up a lot of fights and eventually decided it's not worth it most of the times

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I borked the server last night

fredley

@OrigamiRobot :(

@OrigamiRobot What did you do?

djsmiley2k

I just walk away

"here is the email you sent me".

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Mystcraft

fredley

11:28

@OrigamiRobot Making many ages?

djsmiley2k

Then again, as it administrator, I have an over view of many things others don't know about :D

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I only made one or two :(

The server just never came back.

fredley

@TimStone can I have access to the server so I can restart MC when necessary? It's usually me who manages to take it down in the first place...

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Or the one who is around for people to complain to

fredley

@OrigamiRobot I'm basically either in here or on the server for all hours of the day that I'm not sleeping

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

So I had to submit paper work for my university admission today. I had to prove to the university that I suffered from asthma.

OrigamiRobot

Same.

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Why?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fredley I have no idea. The "disabilities and special needs" section of the application form listed asthma as one of the diseases which I need to declare, so I did

kalina

Java Update Scheduler is probably the most annoying thing I've ever come across

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

And after submitting that form they told me I need to submit documentary evidence that I actually have the condition

kalina

11:33

randomly UACs you because it wants to, and then pops up a bubble in the tray telling you exactly the same thing again when you click no

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

This involved paying $10 to go to the clinic of the same university I'm applying for, since my mother work there, waiting for 45 minutes to see a doctor for 3 minutes while he typed out a letter explaining that I indeed have asthma, then walking across campus to the admissions office and dropping the letter into a box

fredley

@kalina jusched.exe is a virus

kalina

it's not really, but it's as annoying as one

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

And of course me being the idiot I forgot to make a photocopy of the letter. The next university that I'm applying to demanding "evidence" will get my inhaler sealed in a ziplock bag

fredley

@kalina It kinda is. It prompts you to download woefully insecure software onto your computer, and is now adware too.

@kalina Anything that tries to install the Ask toolbar is a virus.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

11:36

@fredley They've been bundling that for quite a while now

kalina

@fredley I wouldn't know, I never install java on my own pcs

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Would you like to install the Ask Toolbar?

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I know. WTF Oracle.

kalina

I would rather catch aids than install java

fredley

@OrigamiRobot VIRUS DETECTED

kalina

11:37

and this is coming from somebody who has Origin installed

fredley

@OrigamiRobot has become infected. He should be shut down, mounted safely and cleaned thoroughly.

kalina

OrigamiRobot needs to be mounted thoroughly?

fredley

@kalina You accidentally some words there. Or deliberately some words.

kalina

@fredley those are the words from your sentence that I processed after reading

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Ewww, you've got your unicode all over my ASCII

Samuele Mattiuzzo

11:41

@kalina origin is not that bad, you can use it to play Mass Effect... sometimes you got to do everything it takes no matter what, to save the galaxy.

kalina

suddenly, a wild flag appears

fredley

:(

OrigamiRobot

You guys are no fun.

tombull89

The Zalgo text got flagged?

kalina

you're about to set a new precedent, people got banned from the bridge and I wasn't one of them

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

11:42

Hey, wasn't me

kalina

wasn't me either

fredley

@tombull89 The Math is creeping in, slowly

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to turn off StickyKeys on this computer

kalina

see, it was @ManishEarth

he deleted all of the things

ManishEarth

No, I just deleted the last one

kalina

11:44

ALL OF THE THINGS

tombull89

@fredley Meth, more like. I don't even...what.

ManishEarth

Another mod did the other two

kalina

I am surprised that nobody got banned

fredley

@ManishEarth I deleted my own when someone flagged it.

OrigamiRobot

@ManishEarth NO I DELETED IT MYSELF

/grump

tombull89

11:45

Spam? Nope. Offensive. Barely. So...flagged?

kalina

@SamueleMattiuzzo don't forget building a city

@tombull89 the fun police turned up and stole all of our fun

fredley

@kalina Fun the police

ManishEarth

Well, two were deleted by a mod who wasn't me

fredley

@ManishEarth @badp?

kalina

@ManishEarth proof required

@kalina It's the next day so i can star you again. Contract fulfilled.

ManishEarth

Sorry guys

OrigamiRobot

That wasn't the deal, dollface.

Mad Scientist

@kalina I can confirm that it was not Manishearth who deleted those

fredley

11:48

@kalina Comments dictating exactly when you want to, and do not want to be starred will be starred

2

ManishEarth

@MadScientist I pressed "delete" on one, but I thing the poster deleted them first

OrigamiRobot

@MadScientist TREACHERY!

kalina

@MadScientist I believed him, he's new here though so doesn't know that I'm joking

fredley

@MadScientist I blame mods for everything

Mad Scientist

@fredley Makes sense, we blame users for everything

ManishEarth

11:49

@kalina Ah :P

@MadScientist high five

fredley

@ManishEarth Looks like I need to update the poster...

@kalina Comments dictating exactly when you want to, and do not want to be starred will be starred

Mad Scientist

:8611662 So we just have to wait 5 minutes before starring your comments?

badp

Do I need to ask balpha to put a cap on daily deleted messages? :P

ManishEarth

This comment has no stars.

fredley

@ManishEarth Nice try

kalina

11:51

@MadScientist if that tactic gets employed, I will just stop chatting

badp

@MadScientist wasn't it 2?

ManishEarth

@fredley :( Wanted to explode the universe

fredley

@ManishEarth Your reverse psychology will get you nowhere here!

OrigamiRobot

@ManishEarth STAR ERROR: NOT @KALINA

ManishEarth

@OrigamiRobot That can be remedied

OMFG BEGGING FOR STARS. BAN

Mad Scientist

@badp No idea what the exact value is

fredley

I am going to run out of stars by lunchtime at this rate :(

SO MANY THINGS TO STAR

ManishEarth

@OrigamiRobot There, now it is kalina. :P

Damn

@MadScientist it's 2 for chat and 5 (for editing) on main, I think

OrigamiRobot

Feb 24 '12 at 22:54, by OrigamiRobot

When I run out of stars, I'll just take screenshots and do freehand stars. Then I'll post the screenshots for other people to star!

fredley

11:54

I'm risking a ban by posting unicode, but here goes:

So....

Doctor who :)

kalina

on that note, cya tomorrow

djsmiley2k

woooo got my one x now backing up ;D

ManishEarth

fredley

11:56

@ManishEarth Not freehand

Or unicode

badp

be seeing you

fredley

@kalina has gone, that's it for today's starring

badp

why do all painted items look like crap

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Because you're the one doing the painting?

I mean, your MS Paint skills are great and all, but...

Wipqozn

@fbueckert: 23 hours since Tuesday.

@OrigamiRobot I often feel the same way. It's so selfish of people to do things amusing when I'm not around.

badp

12:08

@YiJiang'sEvilClone it'd be awesome if my painting skillzors shined (shone?) through TF2 but alas no.

djsmiley2k

Martin Sojka

@Wipqozn I just mentally specified "people" as "my parents" and "do things amusing" as "have sex".

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@djsmiley2k That looks more like a cyberdog than a "cyberpony"

Martin Sojka

My parents are totally selfish like that too.

StrixVaria

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That is definitely a horse face.

Q: Recover save games in Far cry 3

I completed Far Cry 3 around 60% and I had to refresh my windows 8 pc due to some internet issues. During a refresh all desktop apps will be uninstalled but no files will be lost.

Q: Where's my Zen Garden?

I finished a whole first adventure of Plants vs Zombies, but NO ZEN GARDEN. How could that be? I have Quickplay, some awards, a key to Crazy Dave's shop, but no Zen Garden. Is it because you have to have a certain device to get the Garden? I'm confused. Do you unlock it in the second adventure? T...

Sterno

They're that group of software developers who call everything they do "hacking" and think that coding is the same as art.

StrixVaria

Why can't I do this?

@Sterno I know one of those.

badp

@StrixVaria You don't know the ghosts' positions

StrixVaria

12:15

@badp I meant I couldn't figure out how to get it to link with text.

fredley

@Sterno I hate you too

Sterno

@fredley Flagged!

badp

@StrixVaria ...like that?

fredley

@Sterno :(

StrixVaria

@badp Wow I had it completely backwards.

Martin Sojka

12:17

@Sterno "Hacking" is where you quickly hack together some code for a specific purpose without regard for speed, maintainability, proper design or if it works anywhere but on your development machine. There's a time and place for that, but if all they do is hacking instead of proper software design, they aren't software developers. They're kids with a compiler.

StrixVaria

I've done this a hundred times. Why did I just forget how this morning?

badp

@StrixVaria Have you been editing Wikipedia lately?

StrixVaria

@badp No, I have no excuse.

badp

dawww

fredley

@MartinSojka Or scientists. Scientists code like that.

badp

12:17

just pretend you have

[http://blah is how Wikipedia does external links]

Samuele Mattiuzzo

@Sterno coding IS art. Especially when you do it on your typewriter from 1975

fredley

@MartinSojka Seriously though, it's not this black and white. It's not proper software engineering vs. hacking. There are degrees of hackiness, and pitching it right for the task at hand is important.

StrixVaria

Samuele Mattiuzzo

lol

badp

@fredley you know you're just hacking if you don't have a sealed proxy factory memoizator singleton in your codebase

Save the word "hacking" for the awesomely-bad 1995 film Hackers, or GTFO

@badp I prefer

src.main.java.com.seriouscompany.business.java.fizzbuzz.packagenamingpackage.in‌terfaces.factories.StringStringReturnerFactory

Or, alternately, save the word "hacking" for things like "I was hacking that dead hobo apart with a machete so the body was more easily disposed of"

Feeds

badp has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

fredley

This is today's awesome waste of time

@badp Did you add the A51 bot?

@Sterno Such a hipster

badp

@fredley NOPE.

Sterno

@fredley That is not the hipster use of hacking.

fbueckert

We're probably going to get a rage meta question about this.

Sterno

12:27

The hipster use of hacking is "Yeah, I spent all weekend hacking on <some stupid pet project> with my buddies I met at a CodeJam meeting!"

badp

NOPER.

Sterno

@fbueckert But for understanding that concept you need a brain which many narrow minded people don't posses.

Thanks, a daily dose of drama is the perfect way to start the morning

fbueckert

@Sterno You should've seen his last comment.

Sterno

Boo. Deleted comments should show up for 10kers

Or, really, just for me.

fbueckert

Essentially, he took great offense to DeutschZeid voting to close it.

OrigamiRobot

@StackExchange WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOO

Mad Scientist

@Sterno Not really, far too many crappy comments exist for that to be useful

Sterno

@MadScientist I don't want usefulness. I want entertainment.

Mad Scientist

Even mods don't see deleted comments inline

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I'll take a serving of that.

@StackExchange Have I mentioned that you are my 2nd favorite Mod?

djsmiley2k

Sterno

12:46

Not enough drama in chat this morning. Step it up, people.

tombull89

@Sterno Three flagged messages and deleted messages isn't enough?

Sterno

@tombull89 No. ALSO, that was before I got here. I can't see the deleted messages, and therefore to a latecomer like me, it's as if the drama never happened

The worst drama is the drama that happens but that you don't get to know about.

tombull89

@Sterno oh, post some Zalgo text then.

fredley

@Sterno Yeah. You want to step it up? Zalgo.

Sterno

I'm not familiar with Zalgo. Googling just turns up something that doesn't seem particularly drama worthy.

fredley
