12:00 AM
@Matt_2.0, your Lorem Ipsum question was flagged for being an exact duplicate, but I'm not gonna close it
I left a comment though. Any way you could switch it up so others don't jump on the close wagon?
 
 
1 hour later…
1:12 AM
@JohnB It is similar, but I think we can have both open. The older one is more about "what is LI"
 
That's what I figured, and why I didn't close it
lots of good info on the other question, though!
 
yep :)
 
1:28 AM
revived two 3d questions
I'm not sure about the Blender one, because of the beta commitment
It's officially in Beta!
 
Oh, nice!
oh private beta
darn hurry up :)
 
ah yes, I just noticed
can't send people over there yet then
 
I was very involved with the Arduino proposal, which never left private beta because all the questions would have been on topic on EE.SE
the policy discussion at EE.SE was that any Arduino questions asked at EE.SE would remain at EE.SE
 
what's ee?
electronics?
 
electrical engineering
 
1:34 AM
on topic doesn't mean they can't exist somewhere else though
 
we could have a similar policy here. But, do we have anyone that can actually answer the questions? I struggle with Blender whenever I use it, heh
 
I was thinking about typography too
I guess it depends on how well the 'parent' site is doing
if it's doing great, it might be time for the children to seek independence haha
how is EE doing?
 
Really well, they've been launched for a while
out of beta and everything
 
I like the idea of a 100% arduino site
 
A lot of people did, but the SE overlords did not :)
 
1:37 AM
shame on them
do you think we should open the trello board to other members?
 
Well, quite a lot of politics surrounding the whole thing. I enjoyed being a part of it though
 
@PearsonArtPhoto you there Pearson?
 
Yeah, nothing secret on there. Just a nice way to keep ideas organized
 
I specially liked what you did with the tags
 
can you get more colors? Seems like it'd be so easy to run out!
 
1:39 AM
haha, well, I actually remember seeing the full cards in color
so there should be a way
hmmm maybe not
I want to reorganize website-design questions too
but most of them are tagged "web"
 
Stack Overflow in Spanish is getting very close I see!
Add it to the list!
 
yeah, almost there!
Created tag synonym for web and website-design
I think we should try to use the second
 
ok
 
also added a trello card, more work :D
I hate it when the home fills up with my name
ughhh
 
2:00 AM
fixed
 
2:49 AM
@JohnB haha
the return of the undead questions
 
yeah I kinda get into the editing zone and forget that I'm bumping all these to the top
oops!
 
3:24 AM
John how do you want me alter the question?
The comment you left is the same I linked in 'discussion'
 
oh
duh
nothing to see there then!
 
Lol that's why I mentioned it there.. Did someone flag the question?
 
Yeah someone did, clumsy me didn't even read your question body I just clicked on all the pretty links in your answer :D
 
Lol which one was your favorite
I love the veggie and bacon one
Man John you are on an editing spree
 
I'm done!
....for the night
 
3:30 AM
Wow you been here all night
 
ehh sorta
I've been hoppin around
 
Made the mistake and took my 4yr old to epic and loaded her with sugar... Now she won't go to bed :/
 
aw
 
You off tomorrow?
 
yep
 
3:36 AM
What ya got planned?
 
@JohnB so, did you get notified from the test question?
 
I did
Both for the migration and for the answer that I posted
 
??
 
SECRET MOD BUSINESS
 
*** moderators ***
 
3:43 AM
(was trying to figure out what happens if a question gets migrated here but the user doesn't have an account here)
 
<<~~~~~. Don't mind this guy
 
JohnB <<~~~~~. Don't mind this guy
:D
 
a la this question

Q: SVG coding envornment

Samer AfachI'm starting to learn SVG graphics coding, but I'm looking for something with a WYSIWYG kind of thing. Does such a thing exist? And what would you advise me to make the learning process faster?

 
Lol John closes my question
 
if you had left that question open longer I'd started flagging you :D :D
 
3:44 AM
hahah
this is what happens:
and this
 
did you also get a notification for the answer?
 
^
 
aha!
it's great to know
 
What forum you on?
 
Programmers
 
3:46 AM
Leaves me hanging... I see how it is ;)
 
huh?
I said Programmers!
Selected based on the first mod that responded in the secret mod cabal
 
Wow about every question is in the thousands of views
 
Hah well that's because SE changed their sorting
 
and they have cool hand-drawn computers. Unfair!!
 
Lol and we are the design forum
 
3:50 AM
When you have an account and are logged in, then you see the "normal" sorting
 
nice strategy
 
Well, yes, but it angers me
because they broke things with this
 
I love the first question: programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/197650/… and check out all that activity, so many votes and comments!
@JohnB why?

Q: Hot and Week tabs not shown to non-logged in users (except on SO)

75064Visiting a SE site without logging in, one can no longer access the tabs Hot and Week (except on StackOverflow). I believe this change hides the feature from those most likely to use it: casual, but repeated, visitors. A number of people visit SE sites such as Travel or Mathematics just to read t...

>:(
 
no answers?
that's weird
was it a bug?
 
3:52 AM
they'll get to it
no, intentional I am sure
I may set a bounty on it next week if there's no activity
 
but they DO appear in programmers, don't they? I got lost
 
Off topic... John those ryonet videos blew
 
@Yisela Only if you have an account on the site
otherwise, they remain hidden
 
I'm not logged in and I see the top questions like you said
 
@Matt_2.0 I cannot believe you watched more than one hahaha
 
3:55 AM
looooost
 
No I watched the flooding of the screen and had actually hoped they would teach it...
 
1 sec Yisela
Account view on the right, has the sorting tabs
Anonymous view on the left, no sorting options
I would presume they did this because they want people to make accounts on all the sites they visit to promote more posting
foot in the door theory
but I don't want a bunch of 101 rep accounts tied to me, I just want to window shop!
 
ahhh get it now, duh
the accounts theory doesn't make that much sense though
and what's the harm of having the sorting, anyway? strange
if you (as anonym) click on "questions" the sorting comes back
 
not by week and month though
 
maybe they assumed this was a common practice? I agree with the window shopping
 
4:04 AM
which is the best sorting for some sites!
that is where the tabs would normally link to
but even the URLs don't do anything anymore
If you're anonymous, the sorting will be the same for all 3
 
nope
yeah
 
So my plan is to just sit here and be grumpy about it until they do something about it
who's with me!
 
hahaha
commented :)
 
yesss
I gave in and made an account at careers.stackoverflow
and boy did they make me feel lame
"List all books you've written"
 
4:21 AM
hahaha
I never actually tried it, is it good?
 
Dunno I haven't really explored it too much
 
John you ever thought about making your own platen?
 
GD doesn't appear in the list!
 
@Matt_2.0 I have thought about it and done it!
 
What wood you use?
 
4:24 AM
Whatever I could find :D
 
Thinking about mdf
 
that's what I used
 
Thickness?
 
.75"
I think
maybe 1"
I took an old shelf that was MDF with some sort of fake wood laminate glued on to it
and just cut it to size
 
I've got an idea I want to try
 
4:28 AM
A secret idea or can you share? :D
 
Secret
I own a few screen printing domains now
 
pfff fine I didn't want to know anyway
 
Ouch
 
I keeeed I keeed
 
I bought about 5 domains... Really tempted on a press at the end of the summer
 
4:30 AM
why so far out? After you get a new house?
 
Won't get a new house till next yr.. Daughter still in day care and that's a 1100 dollar a month hit
 
it's crazy how expensive day care is
 
Want to design the sites
Ya daycare and all the extra classes kills my family
Plus freelance work ontop of regular work kills free time.
 
4:49 AM
Didn't mean to kill chat
 
I got lost watching Wendy's training videos
 
I got lost filling my careers.so profile xD
 
did you fill out all the books you've written?
 
of course! all of them!
and also the ones people have written about me
 
haha :D
 
4:55 AM
what are Wendy's training videos?
is that like the nemesis of Lynda?
 
xDDDD
 
@Matt_2.0 did you ever ask that ergonomic question
 
freedom! leaving, see you later!
 
Adios!
 
5:04 AM
I want the 45 seconds back I lost from the video
How do you pick such wonderful videos?
 
Someone sent them to me
 
Oh
Ryonet does financing... Sure the wife would kill me then
 
have her watch those videos
she will be on board then
the Ryonet ones, not the Wendy's ones
or maybe both
 
She knows I want one... But about 18 grand is a huge jump and she already said for her consideration site would need to be live
 
 
14 hours later…
7:40 PM
sup @JohnB
 
there is a bird nest in my car
 
what??
 
with birds in it
 
O_o
how did that happen?
 
it sat for a while
 
7:41 PM
actually in the interior or the engine bay?
 
interior
 
did you leave a window down?
 
top off
wrangler
 
convertible?
 
it's my project car, was planning on working on it now that it's warm
and this certainly puts a hamper on that
 
7:44 PM
evict the tenants?
 
awww but there are like 3 or 4 baby birds
 
we have a robin that laid her eggs above our front porch light and we left it... but thats different
said she will be there for about 4-5 weeks
 
well this isn't a daily driver or anything
 
had a possum once take over an air intake...
 
oh boy
 
7:47 PM
mice are common here to chew wires
so you having a good memorial day?
 
looks like you had it covered with a tarp
 
I did
not a bird proof cover apparently
 
lol
 
8:11 PM
so you gonna name them?
 
no, just serve them an eviction notice
they have 30 days to grow up and get outta there
 
I hate design block
 
8:30 PM
mornings and evenings and nights!
@JohnB Awwwwww
 
:D
brb putting a tarp back over the nest so they don't get washed out
 
sup @Yisela
 
how are you Matt?
what time is it there?
 
3:33pm
thats if my computer is correct
 
there is a super storm coming to Auckland
 
8:35 PM
super storm?
 
an all-day long thunderstorm, it looks very dark already and it's only 8:30 am
 
wow
 
I'd like to see one of your projects! Do you have one you can show?
 
who??
 
you
 
8:38 PM
email me and I'll send you a link to my Behance project
 
done
you think I should get a Behance profile?
 
its linked to my LinkedIn account and seems to be rapidly growing and is second to people's Dribbble account
I just dont have full amount of time to go all out on it
sent
 
let's see :)
 
ut oh =P
leave a comment
 
this is apparently my day to save small animals
 
8:45 PM
how so mighty John??
 
 
if they start coming to you in twos be worried
 
my dog found it
 
OMG OMG OMG
 
what?
 
8:46 PM
it's so cuuuuuute
unless it's a normal size rabbit but your hand is that of a giant
 
I hope it survives :(
haha no, normal hands I think
 
don't say that o.o
 
lol
 
@Matt_2.0 really nice work
 
it seemed fine, I just tucked it away in the bushes
 
8:48 PM
thanks but I think they need work.. Not really finished adding everything I've done.
JUst been adding some web stuff lately
 
I joined just to leave my appreciation :P
 
dont forget to add some work!
following you two ;)
 
we apparently have a site self evaluation coming in 4 days
 
for GD?
 
yep
 
8:50 PM
that good or bad?
 
neither
 
or both
 
??
 
hmm if it's again the same type of questions it's not exactly super useful
the first evaluation was good, the second was exactly the same
 
8:51 PM
how are they picked? random?
 
no, I think an overlord picks them
we always end up more or less agreeing on what we want and what we don't
 
overlord, lol
darth vader style
 
more elaboration questions, less technical how-tos
haha
Matt, did you see my last meta post?
 
no what?
 
if you want to join the Trello board I can send you an invite
 
8:53 PM
sure

Q: Introducing the GD.SE Strike Force!

YiselaJohn & I (the 'Diamond Team', because it sounds very pokemon, or the 'GD Strike Force' because it sounds pretty cool) have been starting some interesting cross-pacific brainstorming sessions to see how we can finally turn GD.SE into a healthy release! So we've come up and started working on som...

 
trying to build up my design friend list
I wanna start a project I told John he couldnt know about yet, lol
 
hmm thinking if maybe we should have like a networking page
 
oh I've already told everyone I know
 
where you can leave your portfolios and linkedin links
@JohnB about Matt's secret project? :P
 
8:54 PM
yeah
 
in time
thats next weeks design challenge
interesting question
I think we need to inform more on the chat
appears not a lot of people know about it.
I would like a way where we can do a suggestion post. Sometimes another person's eye or advise can go along way, but that typically doesnt follow the flow of stack
and for me to stop killing chat ;)
