@Undo... I'm slightly curious about a flag that got denied. It was for this: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/a/13451/107

Thanks everyone here for their part in my journey to real knowledge of the SE system. Enough so that I'm now a mod (pt) :) over at Startups. Btw anyone interested in startups come on over could always use more members ;)

@connor I go with the studies... that those suck unless absolutely necessary and you are much better to be running on adequate sleep

Ah well but I do like the smell of coffee
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 19:31
ah yeah could easily - most of the time they do have a bigger impact on us than you after all

no no no not the canucks - sure they may be my 'local' (sort of) NHL team but no

though being karate involved I'm not saying a slug fest can't involve skill but the kind that is done in hockey usually just doesn't evince any
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 18:43
that'd be the Leafs - probably from my great grandfather but like him I'm more keen on the exhibition of speed and skill than the slug fest that has so often been happening in recent decades. Though I am hopeful that all the talk of concussions will lead to them cleaning it up a bit.

sad thing is I've always had a preference for the worst team in Canada
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 18:41
they said I could when I was 12 but then I moved so don't know if they were just temporizing
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 18:39
I don't think that's a vice... though I used to be a killer at roller hockey (at 11 I was trying to join the adult team (normally 15+) in my tiny town)

I'm a fan of pride

I got vices... just not drugs

I'm a Canadian which generally speaking means I know more about Americans than they know about me but less than they know about their presidents

It is significantly career oriented to so I have a great excuse

would be my addiction if I had an addiction which I don't and doesn't harm anyone anyways so obviously not an addiction
Nick Wilde

Computers and books are my addiction
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 17:12
total lifetime usage for all of those being nil
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 17:12
Also the same as I drink coffee or smoke anything
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 17:11
@eggyal The same frequency I drink alcohol
Nick Wilde
Sep 20, 2014 16:37
@jdero only 10 times a day?! that seems a bit lacking in addiction
Nick Wilde
Sep 15, 2014 04:34
lots of badges in fact :D
Nick Wilde
Sep 14, 2014 22:22
Only one problem to being a mod: I won't get the new privileges when I hit rep milestones. I mean yes I already have them but still I like the gamification aspect.
Nick Wilde
Sep 8, 2014 14:13
@eggyal - At this point I'm not worried - lower questions per day is okay; we have as long as we need. Main thing is that there is some activity, and that it doesn't decrease significantly but rather increases over time (even if slowly). Very few sites get those rep targets within 90 days - took around 145 days for Software Recs and that has a much broader possible user base.
Nick Wilde

what we need are some more questions - are answering and editing rates are pretty nice :D

Nick Wilde
Aug 30, 2014 04:32
I think it was 4k but it might have been 2k I don't actually recall wehn I got the priv
Nick Wilde
Aug 30, 2014 04:32
@jdero just because I have such high rep ;) not about the site but about being a 4k user
Nick Wilde

You know I abhor the message "Edits must be at least 6 characters; is there something else to improve in this post?" I've gotten out of the habit of counting characters for my edits with my 4k rep at SR

Q: How should a small web development startup handle an online only customer that stops communicating once the bill is sent

Nick WildeGenerally for online only clients I provide a maximum of 2 hours work before requiring at least the initial payment. However for some clients that is the total amount of work (or more) in some of those cases I have had clients that stop communicating as soon as the bill is received. I don't hav...

Q: Nominate "Pro Tempore" moderators to help guide the site through beta

Nick WildeAs some of you may know, StackExchange sites get "Pro Tempore" moderators just before the private beta goes public. These moderators are chosen by the StackExchange Community Team rather than being voted on due to the generally small size when the site moves from private to public beta but still ...
