(for those of you that don't know, it's like Winter Bash 2013, except better.

lol

... realizing it's two words, not one. :(

aww, I just came in here to announce hats to these badge collectors! :)

and I was beaten :(

I just want my fighter jet helmet back and I'll be happy

hmmm 7 of the 85 unanswered questions are mine.... and only 12 of my 31 answers are accepted.....

well i only have 8 out of 22 answers accepted, so i ll say those are good stats you have.

@SabreTooth Hey, 12/31 really is a good ratio.

hmmmm my main concern is the amount of questions that I have written that are not answered (too hard? too stupid?, too much a 'noob'? too much a PhD who can't get a job in academia?)

you re only on the site since 2 months: leave some time to people to answer them.

@SabreTooth If they're too hard for you, they're going to be too hard for most of us, let's face it. In time, they'll get answers - sometimes it can take a day or two, sometimes it can take a year.

riding a bike is too hard for me... not a good comparison ;P

though admittedly, I am strangely proud of one of my recent questions and one of my answers

ironically, it takes me between 1-3 hours to research and write an answer

primarily due to me being as dumb as a bo of rocks

one great thing is - I am doing far better here than my other sites....including one that I attempted to help from private beta,... not very successful on my part

well, anyway, back to the unanswered list

I have 19/34 accepted

not bad stats

thats well over 50%

nicely done

its actually 20/34, but a lot my accepted answers dont have high votes.

Not a lot of people want to go into the math about Euler poles ect

@casey: Anyone have any idea why recently all of my old content is collecting votes? Everyone loves collecting rep, but does seem a bit odd to me that all the sudden I am magically collecting rep on a daily basis for what appears to be at weeks now; meaning this rarely happens on any of the other SE sites I'm on.

Here's a direct link to my rep on a graph on the main site.

@blunders google bring in people probably and new people finding things to vote on

fwiw i get rep on old questions on lots of site fairly regularly

people find it through google and some cast a vote. most dont

@casey do you know shell script ?

@Neo yes

though I don't always know what is bashism vs POSIX so I'll only guarantee my stuff will run on bash and bash-like shells (zsh probably, dash probably not)

So this dude gave me this script, to create input files for this model, but i can't seem to run the shell script

is it because im on OSX and hes on unix ?

here is the line of code giving me errors

cat NapaSource.txt | awk '{ print "source lat=" $1 " lon=" $2 " depth=" $3 " t0=" '$TBEGIN' + $8 " strike=" $5 " dip=" $6 " rake=" $7 " m0=" '$AREA' * $4 * ( '$VS' * '$VS' * '$RHO' ) " freq=" 6.28318530718 / ( 1.525 * 1.5 * $4 ) " type=Liu" }' >! $SW4SOURCEFILE

fricken awk error

i figured it out

dont know what i did, but its working.

not ganna question it

does anyone know why our progress seems to come in big jumps and not steady ?
