Q: When and on what criteria does the social club site update the vehicle statistics?

Visting my profile on Rockstars Social Club website my missions, trophies etc. will update usually within some hours after I played GTA V while signed in to my PS3 Account. But the vehicle section still lists very few vehicles as driven. Some characters even have seemingly not used a car at all....

fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

kalina

@fbueckert you killed the conversation by saying hi, gg

I mean, ~~morning~~ afternoon!

5pike

@fbueckert Hi

fbueckert

1:14 PM

@kalina Meh. It was already dead.

kalina

I don't understand this office

everybody is saying it's cold and I'm burning up

Private Pansy

@kalina You have too much natural insulation

Yes, I just called you fat

kalina

@PrivatePansy I am the lightest person in the office, guaranteed.

@PrivatePansy yes, I saw, I didn't want to explode at you in rage though

Blem

Private Pansy

@kalina That would just make it hotter

kalina

1:17 PM

@PrivatePansy I turned on the aircon, got complained at by most of the office, said "I'm hot...", got told to be more modest

-.-

the world is out to mess with me today

Michael Dunfield

@Blem hahahahahaha

5pike

@kalina Please kick your boss

kalina

@5pike my boss is in London

Michael Dunfield

@kalina ...that's dumb

Private Pansy

Well, you are saving electricity

@kalina Go to london and kick him

kalina

@MichaelDunfield effort

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Yeah you're right

5pike

@kalina Oh wait - kick the one that said that you should be modest...

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Can you explain this in two lines or less?

kalina

1:19 PM

@5pike most of our support team, no problem

support monkies deserve to be kicked every now and again

to remind them of their place in society

5pike

@kalina I don't know why I thought your boss said that....

kalina

brb, lining up our support team so I can kick each of them in the nuts

Ben Brocka

> Let's be true to ourselves - we are all in the time-killing business

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka ...huh?

Wait

Ben Brocka

Worlds most depressing man analyzes the video game industry

Michael Dunfield

1:21 PM

Is that what he thinks game development is

'time killing'

fbueckert

@kalina Don't you sorta fit in to that category, too?

Michael Dunfield

lol

kalina

@fbueckert no, I do not work in support

my job title says "technical consultant" but I'm actually not sure what it is I'm supposed to do

I guess my main responsibility is translating the innate whining of everybody into language that our development team understand

I'm not sure how I do that either

I guess I'm also responsible for installing new customer sites too

but due to my unwillingness to work in London, my desk is based in the building that our support team is in

but I have a London salary

Private Pansy

*sigh* I should've gotten cover A instead of cover B for the comic

kalina

which is awesome with the cost of living up north being so much less than the cost of living down south

5pike

@kalina Sounds like a good deal..

kalina

@5pike I thought so too

and, because the team I am part of is based in London, when we have team meetings I get an all expenses paid trip to London

5pike

@kalina Interesting.....

Michael Dunfield

Snorms for $3

fbueckert

@kalina That's what tasers and pepper spray are for.

@kalina how far is that?

Michael Dunfield

kalina

1:31 PM

@Blem few hundred miles

Private Pansy

@fbueckert You're not going to use pepper spray in a subway car just because it's crowded

fbueckert

@PrivatePansy I was providing a solution to sweaty people invading personal space.

kalina

@PrivatePansy this, it's certainly one way of accidentally pepper spraying a few hundred people

Blem

the company i work with has 3 offices in denmark, and when ever we have big events the other 2 offices get paid trip with one night stay to the main office

kalina

@Blem yeah that's like our christmas/summer parties

whole company arrives in London from all over the world

lots of free alcohol and food

this year we went on boats down the river thames

...just because

Blem

we have christmas, summer and new year party and then 3 meetings for the whole company, then 2 more meetings for my division and then there is a couple of other random parties they also get to go to with paid stay

kalina

@MichaelDunfield I feel that if the whole of the bridge was silent for a day, we'd get 12 hours a day of links and youtube videos

@kalina Eh

@MichaelDunfield yes

@kalina Eh

1:35 PM

@MichaelDunfield yes

Ronan Forman

@kalina I don't get what you mean either.

Blem

for the summer party we went to the royal shooting club and my date puked all over the Queens private bathroom that had been opened up for guest usage for the first time a couple of weeks before >.<

Private Pansy

I think you just melted his brain

Michael Dunfield

@Blem Awesome. She's a keeper.

5pike

@Blem Sounds like a jolly good party..

kalina

1:36 PM

@RonanForman If the entire bridge other than @GnomeSlice went quiet, what would be left would be 12 hours a day of "hey guys check out this link" and youtube video previews

Blem

@5pike It was a great party :)

5pike

@Blem I hope nobody was shot.

kalina

it's time to indulge in the SAS of biscuits

Blem

@MichaelDunfield :D she puked out of the taxi before leaving the place and then fell a sleep, then when she woke up the driver asked if she had to puke again and she said yes and opened the door while he was still going

Michael Dunfield

@Blem Hahahaha, that's amazing.

Are you still dating her?

That must have been a hell of a party

lol

Blem

1:38 PM

haven't seen her much since then, but she is in England this semester so might be why

fbueckert

@Blem That sounds like an excellent reason to NOT open it for guest usage.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I will fight you on this point.

Especially since this morning I found out my new debit card was returned for bad address.

The bank's online form is misleading.

Where it says "Address 2" it really means "We will discard whatever you put here"

kalina

@OrigamiRobot DENIED

I fixed my pin number today

OrigamiRobot

\o/

kalina

after my ditz moment last week where I blocked it out, by forgetting the pin number I've been using for 3 years

I'm going to call it a blonde moment

but I think it was because I was sober

Michael Dunfield

Ben Brocka

OrigamiRobot

I can't find any reference to @kalina not having blonde hair, so i will accept this data.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot ...

I am not a blonde

fbueckert

1:46 PM

@OrigamiRobot That sounds more like a reason to yell at your bank.

Michael Dunfield

I always sort of just assumed @kalina was blonde too.

kalina

WOW

I AM SO INSULTED RIGHT NOW

Michael Dunfield

What? I like blondes.

How is that even an insult

kalina

I AM EVEN MORE INSULTED RIGHT NOW, AND A LITTLE BIT CREEPED OUT

5pike

@kalina HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

kalina

1:47 PM

right now my hair is black

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I will after I get my new card on its way. That's not the worst part. The worst part is that they didn't call me to tell me. I had to call and ask.

Ben Brocka

I figured you were a rainbow horse angel

kalina

primarily because it's the only colour I could go to after my rainbow hair do during the summer without my hair looking really manky

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, banks are lazy that way.

kalina

if my hair abuse this year hasn't caused any permanent damage, it should grow out to be dark brown

OrigamiRobot

1:48 PM

@kalina pics or it didn't happen

fbueckert

I've had to call mine up and tear them a new one to get them to do something for me before.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot DIE IN A FIRE

fbueckert

I've been very unimpressed with them at times.

Private Pansy

You actually colored your hair rainbow

Pics or it didn- yeah, that

kalina

@fbueckert I hate my bank too

@PrivatePansy I did, for like a 7 week period before the yellow and green started to look horrible

OrigamiRobot

1:49 PM

@fbueckert I can't really complain since they gave me a flat 3.5% rate on my car loan when I basically have zero credit.

kalina

there is a photo where I have wings and everything but you're never going to see it

I might send it to @OrigamiRobot at some point in the distant future under the same terms as last time

so you'll still never know about it

OrigamiRobot

:O

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot My bank's been pretty nice to me, but I had to switch a few years ago, due to their complete moronic insistence on not waiving service fees.

Private Pansy

@kalina You could just say no

At least that won't keep our hopes up

kalina

@PrivatePansy I did say no, didn't you read?

"never going to see it" === no

fbueckert

1:53 PM

Add in that this bank didn't have a branch in the city, it was really hard for me to go talk to them since they were so far away, and there were banks closer that did waive service fees. So, I switched.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert And if I ever happen to overdraft, the fee is like $0.50

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot That's very nice of them.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert What kind of service fee?

kalina

@fbueckert I am miles away from my nearest branch, they still think I live at the address I lived at two moves ago

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot We're talking something like ~$10-$12 a month.

OrigamiRobot

1:54 PM

O_o

kalina

I need to change that before february since otherwise they'll send my new bank card to an address I don't have access to

OrigamiRobot

My service fee is $1 a month

kalina

I don't have a service fee, because I live in a good country

Blem

I don't have a service fee, because I have so much money they count me as a premium customer

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. Now I don't have any, but when I pointed out to my previous bank that I had been with them for a decade, there were more convenient banks nearby that didn't have service fees, and I'd really like to stay with them, but they'd need to waive the service fees, they wouldn't do a thing for me.

One more close vote

kalina

You? Feeling sorry for a new user?

Arperum

@fbueckert Long titles, that's all I can see.

fbueckert

@kalina He's obviously trying.

kalina

2:04 PM

This is a new side of you I've never seen before

5pike

@Arperum There is still a cached version

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Someone needs to explain to him that closing is not a punishment.

fbueckert

@kalina Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not all about burning new users with fire. All I want from them is effort, and we're getting that in spades from this one.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Nooooooooooooooooo, @OrigamiRobot isn't riding me anymore!

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn But look how sad I am about it.

kalina

@fbueckert :p~

OrigamiRobot

2:08 PM

@fbueckert Well, that first question is pretty bad IMO, but the second one obviously has something to it.

fbueckert

@kalina If anything, I'm about burning some of our more established users, due to their insistence on lowering site quality.

OrigamiRobot

At least from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the game

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX Sadly, no The IT Crowd YouTube channel is recommended.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Yes, you're all about burning low-quality users equally, no matter how long they've been on the site.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I'm an equal opportunity low-quality exterminator!

Wipqozn

2:09 PM

@fbueckert You're a hero, really.

I can see your "I have a dream" speech now...

OrigamiRobot

I had a dream about a zombie camel the other night.

Private Pansy

Since there are people here, why not have a look at the site I'm building: 184.173.73.179/~popspoke/television/2013/09/…

OrigamiRobot

It was pretty gruesome.

Private Pansy

The categories page, specifically, is now done

5pike

@OrigamiRobot How....nice...

fbueckert

2:10 PM

@Wipqozn I'm single-handedly responsible for ensuring we're not a clone of Yahoo Answers!

Private Pansy

And brightly colored

Wipqozn

ugh, that ugly ass hippo is still in my town.

OrigamiRobot

@PrivatePansy Those are definitely colors and words.

5pike

@fbueckert Yahoo Answer is a cesspool of idiots, circlejerks and trolls....

And spammers

fbueckert

@5pike There's a reason I have a sheriff's star as my gravatar.

kalina

2:11 PM

@Wipqozn I have a dream... that one day, this site will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all questions are created equal."

Wipqozn

@kalina All questions created equal...? That doesn't sound like @fbueckert at all.

kalina

no but he wishes they were

and he dreams about it

Private Pansy

@kalina All questions are equal, but some are more equal than others

OrigamiRobot

But that title caught my attention.

Private Pansy

Seriously though, what do you think of the design for the category pages? 184.173.73.179/~popspoke/category/entertainment

kalina

@PrivatePansy much better than last time you asked

Private Pansy

2:18 PM

The last time being...

kalina

when you hadn't started the category page layout

ALL OF THESE OPINIONS I GIVE YOU DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU

YOU JUST FORGET THEM

Private Pansy

That's kind of obvious

3ventic

@PrivatePansy Less ponies than last time, good.

Private Pansy

I mean, it would be amazingly bad if a page I had put in a day's work into turned out to be worse than before

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Maybe now you know how it feels. T_T

kalina

2:19 PM

more ponies is the best

Private Pansy

@3ventic I can slap some onto the page just for you

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot This looks cool

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I'm not as bad as @PrivatePansy

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy I like it, but is there some reason the right bar only has one post in it?

kalina

@PrivatePansy needs more rainbow dash

Private Pansy

2:20 PM

@Wipqozn This is a test site, there isn't enough data

kalina

@Wipqozn obviously there is no popular content on his site

Private Pansy

Try clicking on some of the articles. That should fill in the database

kalina

@PrivatePansy you are harnessing us for advertising revenue, aren't you?

Private Pansy

And of course you can tell me what you think of the design for the article pages too

kalina

"quick, everybody click stuff"

Arperum

2:20 PM

@PrivatePansy I find to crowded, too much pictures and too few text.

@PrivatePansy i also hate the menu because there is pictures in it and it goes away too slow for my liking.

Private Pansy

@kalina There are no ads on the site :P And anyway, ads get you a few dollars for thousands of clicks. You guys clicking around won't even get me cents

kalina

@Arperum i think the balance is just right

@Arperum I agree with this though

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy I like it. It's simple, which I like.

kalina

there's something about that menu bar

I like it, it just seems to linger around too long when I don't want it there

Private Pansy

@Arperum Hmmm, I'll see what I can do about that

kalina

2:22 PM

@PrivatePansy maybe speed up the animation of it folding back up or something

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy It seems to be a well implemented newsy site design. It seems that each main section has a distinctive accent colour. Is there any reason why that colour isn't also used in the header menu?

Private Pansy

@RedRiderX Top menu? Tried that, didn't quite work out. Going to experiment a little more

RedRiderX

It's nit-picky but I thought I'd ask. :P

fbueckert

sigh It seems perhaps 10% of my training yesterday at a client's stuck.

Private Pansy

The site owner didn't want too much color on the site

fbueckert

2:22 PM

They want me to come back and do it again.

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX Oh, that is a little odd now that you mention it.

kalina

@fbueckert sounds like additional billing for training to me

Arperum

Also why is the size of the pictures defined as a width="X" height="Y" parameter per picture? and not some global css for all pictures?(I wanted to quickly try shrinking with firebug them to see if that did something, but one at a time is too much work)

Or is that just WordPress being stupid?

Private Pansy

@Arperum That would be WordPress being stupid

fbueckert

@kalina Sadly, we're trying to make nice with this client, so chances are extremely good they won't have to pay for it.

kalina

2:24 PM

@fbueckert boo

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Well it's certainly not overwhelming when it comes to colour, anyway. The accents are done pretty well.

5pike

@fbueckert OUCH

Unionhawk

YouTube comments may actually stop sucking as bad soon

fbueckert

@kalina Yeah. I love these clients, though. I just find it very frustrating to teach them, since they're so entrenched in their old system, which they used for 15+ years.

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Is there not some form of content filter you could implement to remove that?

OrigamiRobot

2:25 PM

@fbueckert Because obviously you didn't do a good enough job, right?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Or because they're all ladies in their late 50's.

kalina

that's sexist and ageist

flagging as douchebaggery

Private Pansy

@RedRiderX If there is, I haven't found it

And it is extremely annoying. I really would like to get rid of those attributes

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Hmm, it is always a rough road once you stray off the beaten path with Wordpress.

kalina

@fbueckert obviously the problem here is you, not them

Ben Brocka

2:28 PM

@Unionhawk I meant to read that. Hopefully us creators get better tools

fbueckert

@kalina Well, there's enough blame to go around.

Private Pansy

@RedRiderX Aye, I can't believe the number of times I have to go digging into the source code for a project as mature as WordPress

kalina

@fbueckert the solution is to not look so good in a suit

Sterno

@kalina So many ageist comments in here!

Ben Brocka

it'd be cool if people repeatedly blocked got blocked by default

OrigamiRobot

2:28 PM

@kalina scribbles notes

fbueckert

Leaving me to hold the bag for more or less everything is probably grounds for another pay bump, I think.

Private Pansy

The code itself is, at least, relatively well formatted and somewhat well documented

Unionhawk

@BenBrocka Apparently right now, certain uploaders have enhanced comment moderation tools, which should be rolled out eventually

Probably with a new sub-box-breaking layout, no doubt

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Is there a reason that there isn't any accent colour on the Author pages?

I just noticed it.

Private Pansy

Found the filter post_thumbnail_html

fbueckert

2:29 PM

I'm the project manager, architect, developer, client manager, trainer, and all. The only thing I don't do is bill.

Ben Brocka

@Unionhawk oh cool. I've connected with Google+ but I don't have any different options yet

Unionhawk

And comments will be sorted by relevance, not recency

Private Pansy

@RedRiderX There are about 12 categories, and 50 authors

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Oh.

Ben Brocka

@Unionhawk Hopefully that will bury arguments

a problem with popular videos is two idiots arguing can completely cover the front page of comments for a HUGE video

Private Pansy

2:31 PM

@Unionhawk That sounds like a great improvement. But how will they determine relevancy?

Unionhawk

@BenBrocka Probably not, but at least it's better than 2 top comments which tend to be the same thing

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy I was thinking about the story tags, I had seen accent colours used elsewhere but not on the author pages.

Unionhawk

@PrivatePansy Magic? I dunno.

RedRiderX

For an example:

Unionhawk

Probably magic, actually.

@BenBrocka There are so many things that could be improved on the system. Being able to designate comment moderators a la old Gawker comments (star commenter system), or something like that, would be a nice thing, for example

@axrwkr That's not our problem - Spammers are CANCER, they deserve to be punished.

Do note that contrary to your expectations, Jeweler is used to make scrolls, not like accessories and such.
