JohnB

I like GOLDENPALACE.COM :)

TildalWave

I still think having an XKCD feed here could liven up the chat a bit

JohnB

I wouldn't complain, especially after Google Reader was shut down

I never set up a replacement :\

TildalWave

@JohnB alternativeto.net/software/google-reader ;)

JohnB

Yeah, I'm told to check out Old Reader

I was kinda hoping that it was all just a big joke

@TildalWave Deer Hunter leaving isn't connected to me at all, right?

TildalWave

@Undo No ... and I hope he isn't leaving and is all just just something we can all put behind us.

Undo

@TildalWave I hope so - he (?) asked some pretty good questions.

Leaving 3 500 rep bounties doesn't bode well, though.

JohnB

um, oops

don't be mad

Undo

@JohnB Uh-oh, what red button did you hit?

JohnB

:D

TildalWave

00:26

@Undo he has enough knowledge up his sleeves to regain that in no time ... he's still been the top rep user for the month, when he started being more active

JohnB

@Undo "Create User" on the feeds page

Undo

Ehh?

JohnB

lemme just uhhh

TildalWave

@JohnB what does that do?

JohnB

OOPS

OK

TildalWave

00:27

hehe

JohnB

I CAN FIX IT

Undo

Let's just watch him suffer.

Stack Exchange

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

JohnB

nothing to see here

Undo

You obviously want to tell us about it. What did you do?

JohnB

00:28

There is a button that says "Create User" for feeds, I figured it would pop up a modal dialog if I clicked it

well it doesn't and it did some stuff

Undo

Like... ??

JohnB

so I figure well I'll just destroy the user and it'll revert the change I just did

Well, feeds by default are posted by the "Stack Exchange" user

Undo

Uhh...

JohnB

I guess you can use this to make a little feed user

and name it, and give it an avatar

Undo

Neato!

So... did you delete the Stack user?

JohnB

00:29

haha no, not that bad

TildalWave

@JohnB you should name it "Google Reader"

JohnB

destroying the user I didn't really mean to create alsooo destroyed that feed

Undo

hehehe

JohnB

so, I think we all learned a valuable lesson here today

(don't let me touch things)

Undo

Don't let JohnB hit buttons?

JohnB

00:30

^^

Undo

Sounds good.

I wonder what would happen if you deleted the Stack user?

Would SE explode?

JohnB

they would probably hire a hit on me

Undo

lol

JohnB

also, DigiFab is in limbo: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/41850/digital-fabrication

pre-beta private beta

or whatever the phase is called when it's complete commitment but not launched private beta yet

anyone here committed?

Undo

lol

JohnB

00:33

:D

Undo

But no, not commited.

JohnB

it must have just launched minutes ago, those were all 0s when I had it up

refreshed and then numbers popped up

TildalWave

@JohnB woooot where did that spike in commitments come from in the last ten days??

JohnB

Dunno! I was wondering that too

TildalWave

@JohnB Skeet bought a 3D printer? :))

JohnB

00:36

oh hey, Robert Cartaino committed

interesting, first he's committed to

TildalWave

we should follow his commitments ... if he commits next to AI we're in trouble :)

here's something funny: search on A51 for "procrastination", see what result you get LOL

JohnB

hah

Undo

Now I have to go do some busywork preparing for a Latin class. Bla.

I'm supposed to write an introduction. Any suggestions?

How about, 'I like to watch @JohnB push buttons that he probably shouldn't' ?

JohnB

00:57

it's not my fault

Undo

@JohnB Well, but it makes a good story, no?

JohnB

:)

Undo

:D

@JohnB The latin class uses a forum. A forum. Eeeek. Going to be a hard year.

JohnB

hang in there

Undo

I'll try....

TildalWave

@Undo I'm gonna make a meta announcement and schedule an event for the chat ... should then display the time in your timezone

Undo

01:46

@TildalWave Good idea.

earned 182 reputation from suggested edits :D

TildalWave

02:24

@Undo You did? Mind that there's a cap on total rep you can gain from suggested edits, IIRC it's a 1000 rep points max ;)

Stack Exchange

TildalWave has added an event to this room's schedule.

@Tildalwave one good news regarding GSLV D5 :-)

TildalWave

@Hash What is it? From what I understand they found no further problems with the rocket and will replace the 2nd stage with a standby stage.
