3 hours ago, by GiantCowFilms

Also, last thing, save it at double res (440 x 500) SE will accept it and its higher quality for 4K displays.

@David @MutantBob @CharlesL @VincentScalia @TARDISMaker @NoviceInDisguise @iKlsR @stacker @someonewithpc adn @X-27 Time to start voting! support meta.blender.stackexchange.com/questions/880/… & meta.blender.stackexchange.com/a/885/3127

12:31 AM

@CharlesL crasy ting si i kould red it perfactly

Someone needs to write a lossy text compression algorithm which does this

@David i no rite? it maks so mach mure sens thon regulur spaling

@GiantCowFilms where did you get that info?

@gandalf3 LOL! I'm going to do this!

That's something that would be popular on hacker news just because it's so ridiculous

Works on all the sites

@David thuts truu i don wana b remumburd fur thus

@CharlesL @X-27 has a way of pulling out your worst quotes, and reminding everybody of it.

@CharlesL plus google indexes all this.

DONT TAG HIM!

JEEZZZZ

lol :)

naw yur ascang fur it

12:35 AM

@CharlesL @David there is only one other vote on the Community Add :P

@GiantCowFilms already voted on both

@GiantCowFilms still is it written anywhere that they will take 2X the res?

@David It works, and has worked.

And if it stops working, we will fix it.

Quoting from here "The image that you create must be 220 x 250 pixels"

have you guys seen the REALLY BAD ad on bicycles?

no

12:38 AM

@David You can still UV the ad :D

now I cant find a page that will display it :(

@David What?

@GiantCowFilms I only UV ads

@David Okay okay!

12:40 AM

good

@David Please...

I mean BE is the prefect candidate for a community ad

I actuality saw the ad on the right displayed on their site. meta.bicycles.stackexchange.com/ads/display/968

LOL

nice, huh?

Our ad is nice though

@David See apple has had their super sized ad working for two years: meta.apple.stackexchange.com/a/1884

@GiantCowFilms Would you like me to edit this for you?

12:43 AM

Yes

I see the error

D'oh

@David did you vote on it :D :D :D?

@GiantCowFilms fine I UVed it. even though is says "long term", and not "permanent".

@David Whats wrong with that

Its in order not to get killed by a loosed lawyer!

:P

I want a hosting place where my blends will be safe no matter what period Even if @X-27 and @VincentScalia gang up and wreck the world.

@David That is the idea

but I'm not being legal liable to host your blends until I die.

However, BE should be sticking around...

@GiantCowFilms long term may imply anything from 2 weeks, to a year or more. Permanent means a lot more (even though in reality the data is just as safe in both.)

12:47 AM

@David It is going to stick around for a long time, just not forever, I mean I think it will go down if I die for example, or have to flee to cuba

@GiantCowFilms why? doesn't cuba have internet?

@David Long term in BE's cause means you file is going to stick around as long as BE (and the google drive hard drive) hang on.

@David Probably not

They are like litterally still in 1960

Oh, there is no reason why I need to flee to Cuba soon, in case anyone was suspicious.

@GiantCowFilms THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TDL!

@GiantCowFilms lol

@David what?

Probably gives you two sites:

Cuba.gov

.cu

.cu is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cuba. == Second Level Domain Names == .com.cu .edu.cu .org.cu .net.cu .gov.cu .inf.cu == External links == Portal Cuba.cu IANA .cu whois information ^ Source: http://www.nic.cu/nosotros.php...

12:49 AM

and iliketopostdogpicturesonthebeach.wordpress.com

@David O.o

well

@gandalf3 I see what they said about the border

ignore it, they won't bother checking ;D

@GiantCowFilms however wikipdea paint a grim picture: "Internet in Cuba has some of the lowest penetration rates in the Western hemisphere, and all content is subject to review by the Department of Revolutionary Orientation.The government of Cuba provides an online encyclopedia website called EcuRed that operates in a "wiki" format. Internet access is limited. The sale of computer equipment is strictly regulated. Internet access is controlled, and e-mail is closely monitored."

:P

@GiantCowFilms They only say you need a border if you have white background.. If we make it off-white then we'll be in the clear

in your ad, it looks like the orange guy is holding a mirror with a whole in it.

XD

@David exactly what I thought

@gandalf3 I still think we should use the standard icon

12:53 AM

@gandalf3 actually writing this now. When I get up tomorrow this will probably seem like a ridiculous idea, but i'm tired and have a bit of a fever, so it's what i'm doing right now :P

If you like

@CharlesL \o/

you'll be credited for the inspiration on the project homepage ;)

Can't wait to see what it does :D

@CharlesL writing what now?

Sep 20 '13 at 21:46, by iKlsR

@gandalf3 click the little arrow on the message :)

12:54 AM

@CharlesL lol, I dont know if it is better or worst that you are sick. :)

@David ikr

this will either result in genius code, or code written by an idiot

(i'm assuming it will be the latter)

@CharlesL lol

Oooh

;)

I'm reusing old messages

Recycling and all that

12:57 AM

Can I cut someone, please

@iKlsR huh?

Got gta v this morn, im tired

Q: Improving the Blender manual

BTW @CharlesL Have you seen

12

So to follow up my previous post, the manual project chat room is live and ready for action! Contributions of all shapes and sizes are welcome. How do I start? If you're unfamiliar with the manual editing process, it essentially goes like this: Setup build environment Install SVN and Sphinx. ...

1:02 AM

@gandalf3 yeah, i saw it when i was surfing by and seeing all the stuff i've missed in the last few months

seems like a good idea

Just found the meme site. LOL

i might do a contribution or two

:O

@David ikr

1:02 AM

:D

best site on the interwebs

/me lands on the moon

we will protect you.

A: Congratulations! Blender is graduating!

1

status-completed Our chat still says "beta". I think the developers should be notified of this, since this design-less graduation is a new thing.

FLIE AWEYY

HA! Watcha gonna do now?

@CharlesL lol wtf

A ticket to the moon?

1:04 AM

nah, i jacked a rocket

Sign me up

If you write enough lua, you get a free moon ticket

@iKlsR I'm your man

that's what i'm writing the lossy compressor in :)

Just UV my community promo adds ;D

:D

:O

I will not rest plugging for votes!

1:06 AM

@GiantCowFilms nk

@David :D

it worked, did you see how my 3D graphics add got up to 7 :D

You won't even believe the places I asked for votes

(give you a hint, foreigners are way more swave about UVing adds on other sites)

h

o

@GiantCowFilms yep. quite a ~~salesman~~ extortionist.

r

@iKlsR Please, as a moderator, don't use that language

1:07 AM

look who else can't spell ;)

@David :D

e

@iKlsR you'll love my lossy text compressor

@GiantCowFilms uravotewhore

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vote+whore

@iKlsR I'm going to flag you now if you don't delete that. Its plain crude

1:08 AM

ayy, it's in the dictionary

Flagged!

Where did all these flags come from o.o

Me for starters

My definition of a whore

@GiantCowFilms I couldn't resist marking it as valid. :)

1:09 AM

debase oneself by doing something for unworthy motives, typically to make money.

:)

Are we talking about vote wars?

Lol, flag away.

@David get them all

You've done it now

Here come the big mods :)

1:10 AM

@GiantCowFilms now look what you did, brought in mods form other sites.

@Undo Oh BTW, off topic note, you are in one of my AP online classes this year!

He's a mod on softwarerecs

;D

@GiantCowFilms Which one?

@GiantCowFilms My statement still stands

1:11 AM

@Undo I'm not going to say in front of these snoops :D....

They are always trying to guess info about me D:

@iKlsR it does. rest assured that I will render a fair judgment against all flags.

@David That is why I voted for you

Aye aye cap

@iKlsR I'm not

typically

1:12 AM

@GiantCowFilms Send me an email

I'm just using all means possible to make what I think is right happen

@Undo rodger that!

lol, ok sir

@Undo I should flag that. It has pii in it.

Flag away :)

lol

1:14 AM

Too much blue for me

I remember last time this happened

Sep 20 '13 at 21:47, by KitFox

Not that arrow.

XD

lol

@Undo did you see the flag in the "Ten Fold" room? If so, what would you do with it?

I was wondering about that too

@David The one about circumventing ...

1:15 AM

@David I don't think I saw it.

yep

I now get flag pings occationally as a 10ker

but not anything cool ever

If you don't understand the context, prob just leave it.

@Undo head over to the TL, i'll post a picture of it.

If it's not obviously offensive or spam.

1:16 AM

@GiantCowFilms I get even more of them as a mod. And I'm still not fast enough on most of them :P

Although the mod-only ones are slower.

It's been a year since softwarerecs launched, wow. Time flies.

Somehow made 1k

@iKlsR More than that

And we're graduating too.

Congrats!

Hurrah!

Neat

SE is really picking up traction.

Prior we had sites in beta for 5+ years

1:18 AM

Yeah. I'm hoping we can make Hardware Recs work too

@iKlsR Its on the alexa top 250

I mean in terms of getting sites permanent

traffic = sticking power

later all

see ya

stepping out as well

o/

1:20 AM

o/ o/

@gandalf3 or just \o/

cya all later too!

that's two people

/o\

:D

1:21 AM

@gandalf3 It looks wrong for everyone else because it has the blue background

it should be white.

I know

Ah okay

@gandalf3 still cool though

It looks really wrong for me, with my custom chat theme

@gandalf3 Oh yah

@gandalf3 I think it would be a good idea, if possible, to feature this: meta.blender.stackexchange.com/q/880/3127

1:27 AM

Good idea

It was already "hot" anyway

Current status:
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

you hav tu lern teh rules of teh gam and then you hav to play better than anyun els

Not bad!

s/you/u?

gonna do a little more hacking up of the data before a do a legit compression

oh yeah, good idea

s/rules/rulz?

to specific

i'll randomly replace s with s or z though

1:35 AM

Could replace es with z

even better, that makes it shorter!

pineapples = pineapplz

:D

very nice! :D

you hav tu lern teh rulz of teh gam and then yuo hav tu play better than anyon els

\o/

now i'm going to remove doubled up letters (tt, ee, ss)

1:36 AM

Good idea

What about mixing in some numbers?

l8r, g8, etc.

ohhhh

ate = 8

yessss

to || too || two = 2

I bet you could even shave off some extra bytes by taking out random spaces :P

yeah!

1:39 AM

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Perhaps depending on a quality level parameter?

(like jpg XD)

lolz

nah, just max lossyness

:D

yo hav 2 lern teh ruls uf teh gam and then yo hav 2 play beter than any1 elz

Niiiice!

1:41 AM

Einstein + bad spelling

i don't really know how to react

Hm.. maybe th = d?

than = dan and then = den

but then bath = bad

o.o

oops

Only when at the beginning of a word den?

yeah.. that one requires some linguistic analysis

thread = dread

oh dang

Only when at the beginning of a word and immediately followed by a vowel?

1:43 AM

although if there's some rule for silent letters, i could cut them out

Is this on github? I want to help :D

ok, hang on i'll set up a repo

@gandalf3 github.com/charles-l/ltc

:D

it's time for greatness to happen

it is time of gamma

1:47 AM

or, more accurately: "it's tim 4 gretnzs 2 happen"

:D

i'm going to have to write a sassy readme at some point

what this for? i wasn't listen ing

:D

Sep 20 '13 at 21:46, by iKlsR

@gandalf3 click the little arrow on the message :)

?

1:52 AM

@VincentScalia click the arrow pointing to the left

@gandalf3 hang on what's ur github username?

oh, duh :P

:P

k, you're a contributor now

:D thanks

Keep in mind I don't know lua at all, so I might do bad things by accident..

1:55 AM

@gandalf3 eh, don't worry about it. this is a silly script anyway

:)

most of what I do is still cobbled together from stackoverflow

lol

programming == googling_stackoverflow();

the important thing to remember is there isn't a difference between arrays and hashes/dictionaries

there are just tables

@gandalf3 lol, sotrue

Are tables like arrays in other languages?

1:56 AM

yep, they can be arrays or hashes

for example: {'a', 'b', 'c'}[1] == 'a' (lua is one based)

and t={a='b', c='d'}
t.a returns 'b'

Makes sense

yeah, and it removes confusion about different datatypes by uniting them

The latter example is called a hash?

it's pretty clever overall

Very nice indeed :D

1:58 AM

@gandalf3 in ruby it's called a hash, python calls it a dict. Lua just calls it a table.
