trying to figure out why this ios phone doesn't work properly when every other browser I have is working fine on the site I'm working on

but I'm all out of beer

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Apple.

12:47 AM

Yeah.

Well, my customers insist on it.

So watcha gonna do

Yo.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 You know how to fix it...

Through the infernal device down a cliff.

It's my first time spending more than a few seconds using a modern iphone. It's okay, despite its freakishly small screen and dastardly lack of customizability.

Oh, only despite those things.

@Cerberus Sadly, if I do that, my QA tester will still complain that this P1 bug is not fixed.

You could tell him there is nothing you can do and he should upgrade to a modern phone.

12:53 AM

I'm afraid that isn't going to really help.

Besides, I already spent I don't know how long fixing bugs that were affecting IE8 and 9. I can hardly neglect mobile safari.

Why does everything have to be modern these days? Like really, just run the old stuff into the ground, by then there will be more old stuff being sold for cheap :-)

yeah I giggle a little at the incongruity of @Cerberus suggesting someone use a modern thing

Mr. Galaxy Nexus, Windows XP, Classical Latin over here

I'm waiting on a release myself.

Well, waiting on SQA to decide whether it's going live tonight.

Sounds fun.

You know it.

I missed something you pung me on recently.

@KitFox you guys release stuff on thursday nights?

@GnomeSlice This doesn't want to load for me right now.

=[

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Yep.

Also sometimes on Sunday afternoon.

1:09 AM

@KitFox Possibly this

Today's music

Weird, that won't go either. Must be my interwebs are all sticky.

=[

The t-storms earlier seem to have muddled everything.

Does youtube work?

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Shhhh.

With Windows 7, you can't really do much more than with Windows XP.

1:12 AM

@Cerberus Are you going to get the 1+1?

It's different if you upgrade from Iphone to Android.

@Cerberus Yes, I can use all the ram in my computer

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Oh, no, I'm not allowed to waste money on a new phone when my old one still works.

That right there is like, a major improvement

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Meh, I don't really need more RAM that I have on my PC, most of the time.

1:12 AM

I used to have to reboot my XP box into Linux just to run a Java memory analysis tool that was 64-bit

The RAM on my phone is a huge source of annoyance, though.

@GnomeSlice It's trying really hard. Might make it.

I got Windows 7 and suddenly the 4GB on my box was actually 4GB, not 3.5, and suddenly I could run the memory tool natively.

That was on the same hardware, even.

The icon in my tray showing how much RAM I am using.

1:13 AM

And not to mention that Windows 7 has better support for newer hardware like SSDs

@GnomeSlice sighs 19 seconds and it barfed.

Ugh, why won't my picture load?

Sounded cool though.

19 seconds out of 63:22.

Close enough.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Sure, when I upgrade to an SSD, I will switch to Windows 7. Or 9.

But I don't have an SSD.

1:16 AM

@Cerberus So when you say that Windows 7 doesn't really provide any benefits, you're basically wrong. It provides lots.

It can provide benefits.

To some people.

But not to me, not now.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 On my current computer, the benefits would be negligible. Not worth the cost in time and effort.

> Please deploy the new release to production.

1:17 AM

Haha.

Oh snap. Solutions manager just bypassed SQA.

uhoh

What kinds of solvents does he work with, to make all those solutions?

You know what they say. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

I think he sniffs glue.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I can't argue with you there.

Everything I say is inarguable.

That's not true.

1:24 AM

Yes it is.

grumbles, shakes fist

That's what I'm doing to ios right now

grumbles, shakes fist at iPhone

I've been trying to figure out a good way to pun Cerb's "Iphones are gay" and "homophone"

iPhones all sound the same

Haha.

Did you hear about the new Eye Phone? It's a homophone.

Gay humor?

If you call that humour...

How fare you?

1:33 AM

I'm fine.

Good.

Any news from the job front?

The job front?

Are you confusing me with tchrist?

I thought you were still thinking about various jobs and stuff.

I took a job back in April. So far it's working out.

That is good. So you are not thinking about leaving it at the moment?

1:36 AM

No. I'm going to stick with it for a while. We'll see.

So far they're letting me do interesting stuff in my own way, which is always good.

Great.

yay the homophone is fixed.

Did you send it to a camp?

no I changed a span to an a

Or did you just neuter it?

Ow...

What's the difference?

I have seen both in HTML.

1:44 AM

for some reason it refused to acknowledge clicks on the span

Maybe so you don't touch activate stuff?
