[00:07:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Just finished my web programming final.
[00:07:05] <Ethanol-fueled> It's time to drink!
[00:08:17] <SirFinkus> how'd you do?
[00:09:11] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm sure I got like a 75 on it. I think it's going to depend on the charity of whomever's grading it.
[00:10:00] <SirFinkus> well, at least it's passing
[00:10:18] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, and it's only a fraction of my final grade, and I have a lot of points so far.
[00:10:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Most of it was PHP/SQL, and I didn't know SQL well enough to do some of the weird JOINs they were asking for
[00:11:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I got like 3-4 out of 6 SQL queries right, but in a hurry formatted my output using print_r($the_array) so it looked like shit
[00:11:38] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHA
[00:13:45] <paulej72> Did you get your files restored
[00:14:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck no, pauley, and that's why I didn't get all my points.
[00:14:14] <paulej72> thats a bummer
[00:14:56] <paulej72> do you know what they call a med school student that finished last in his class
[00:15:19] <Ethanol-fueled> No, what?
[00:15:22] <Ethanol-fueled> A consultant?
[00:15:24] <paulej72> Doctor
[00:16:24] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, good point. But I still have a bad attitude about it, because it made me realize how much I hate web programming. You take 3-4 of the ugliest languages and force them all to play nice with each other. I'd rather manually create database tables all day than do web programming.
[00:17:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Fortunately my next classes are theory and data structures I've already been doing.
[00:17:23] <paulej72> nah, I like bitch slapping them into submission myself
[00:17:32] <Ethanol-fueled> pauley, you must be a sadomasochist.
[00:17:41] <Ethanol-fueled> Only a sado-maso could ENJOY web programming.
[00:18:18] <paulej72> well its all a spectum not discrete
[00:18:28] <SirFinkus> I never understood why it's pushed towards beginners so much
[00:18:53] <paulej72> they can see results fast and there is no compliation step
[00:19:25] <paulej72> and a rich gui system that is fairly easy to get simple tings out of
[00:20:11] <paulej72> i tried looking at java and swing and i had like a mental breakdown
[00:20:21] <SirFinkus> eww, java
[00:20:55] <paulej72> and that was part of a web class I was taking
[00:23:35] <Ethanol-fueled> pauley, in my class we do CSS/PHP/SQL/Javascript/Jquery/AJAX
[00:24:05] <Ethanol-fueled> can you see how that can quickly become a nightmare for a noob used to compilers and warnings trying to get it all working?
[00:24:14] <paulej72> not a bad set of stuff to learn
[00:25:02] <SirFinkus> just setting up the environment can be a pita
[00:25:14] <SirFinkus> vs just a text editor and python hello.py
[00:25:44] <Ethanol-fueled> I ended up testing my shit on their hosting server through my browser rather than using an IDE because of all the shit that needs configuring to get it working locally.
[00:26:26] <Ethanol-fueled> It's also an impacted class, meaning a full-length class squeezed into half the time.
[00:26:48] <Ethanol-fueled> Be right back, gonna hike down to the licka sto' and drank my stress away.
[00:26:49] <ciri> ok Ethanol-fueled
[00:26:53] <Ethanol-fueled> fuck you ciri

[00:59:21] <Ethanol-fueled> supbitches
[00:59:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> Okay, so I need to stop eating cabbage as part of dinner. Going to stink myself out of bed tonight.
[00:59:39] <Ethanol-fueled> Only yokels eat okra and cababge, Buzzard
[00:59:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, i live in rural oklahoma.
[01:00:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus, fuck you.
[01:00:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> fried okra kicks ass.
[01:00:53] <Ethanol-fueled> And hominy?
[01:00:55] <Ethanol-fueled> Grits?
[01:01:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> more southern than hick, so i only like half of that.
[01:02:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> grits+eggs+hash=southern cement
[01:02:48] <Ethanol-fueled> that sounds kinda good, actually.
[01:03:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> damned well is. breakfast that sticks with ya till it's time for lunch.
[01:03:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> learnt bout it out in south carolina when i were a kid.
[01:06:29] <Ethanol-fueled> Good article posted about submarine warfare now.
[01:06:52] <paulej72> okrahoma
[01:06:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh ya? i ain't read most of what we put out this weekend.
[01:07:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Me either ;)
[01:07:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Hee hee!
[01:07:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> for that matter i skip most of what we put out period. just look at the ones sound interesting at the time.
[01:09:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Like the ones about liberties and labor?
[01:10:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, some quality arguing to be had on those. i dig physics too though.
[01:13:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Gonna do obligatory reply to submarine article

[01:16:27] <paulej72> Sweet got reocurring payments setup for PP for subs
[01:17:08] <juggs> :D
[01:18:10] <Ethanol-fueled> pauley, you take another payment out of my card without my permission and I will bop you.
[01:18:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Don't be like freecreditreport.com
[01:19:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> nice
[01:19:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Buzzard, that looks worse than Soylent News. You should invite taco to join the staff as a washed-up celebrity.
[01:19:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'll just link anything good he posts
[01:20:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> he prolly has a no-compete clause for the sale
[01:20:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus his e-dong is too enormous. it would intimidate the rest of us.
[01:20:52] <paulej72> Ethanol-fueled: it is ste up with auto payment button and a normal one
[01:21:26] <paulej72> let the user choose
[01:21:56] <SpallsHurgenson> soylent still doesn't take payments in eternal souls :(
[01:22:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya we do, they just gotta be manually processed.
[01:22:38] <paulej72> have you not seen what happens to the staff here
[01:23:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> cept me. i'm immune. i traded mine for a candy bar back when i was a kid.
[01:23:38] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: you came here pre medicated as well
[01:23:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> almond joy i think it was
[01:23:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, that helps as well
[01:24:30] <paulej72> i would never give my soul for an almond joy, now a 3 muskateers maybe
[01:24:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> those're pretty good but i demand something other than low fat for my soul
[01:25:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> gotta have all kinds of fatty goodness.
[01:25:18] <paulej72> milkyway
[01:25:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that might do it.
[01:26:07] <Ethanol-fueled> milkyway++
[01:26:07] <Bender> karma - milkyway: 1
[01:26:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> couldn't ask for a skor, they might have misheard and gotten me laid instead.
[01:26:25] <Ethanol-fueled> They're all good.
[01:26:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is all fine and good but pussy's free, candy costs money.
[01:26:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Buzzard - you pay for pussy. Make no mistake. If not with currency, with something else.
[01:26:55] <Ethanol-fueled> Dinner. Dignity.
[01:27:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> feh to that. i'm a charming bastard.
[01:27:48] <Ethanol-fueled> And if you can't catch a woman, at least you can catch a largemouth bass...all the fun of women with none of the talking.
[01:27:50] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAHA
[01:28:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> i've actually wrangled two paid for vacations out of putting out to chicks who wasn't as hot as i am charming.
[01:28:36] <Ethanol-fueled> No shame in that. It's how I ate for a few straight months, hahaha
[01:28:46] * TheMightyBuzzard nods sagely

[01:38:04] <Ethanol-fueled> later, bro.
[01:41:42] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: our ipn transactions are getting rejected
[01:41:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> by us or by them?
[01:43:43] <paulej72> PP shows them as rejected so there must be some issue with the new code
[01:45:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm
[01:47:41] <paulej72> I wonder if adding a custom field with a json string might have caused IPN.pm to have a breakdown
[02:01:54] <paulej72> well I’ll look at that tomorrow
[02:03:44] <SpallsHurgenson> I seem to have misplaced one of my many electronic gewgaws. Life is probably not worth living without it
[02:05:45] <n1> thats how i feel every time i misplace my zune.
[02:06:54] <SpallsHurgenson> Zooooooooooon!

[02:22:14] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I gathered that. :^P
[02:22:19] <juggs> that we are no crediting subs days?
[02:22:25] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck you cocksuckers.

[02:22:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
[02:23:31] <SpallsHurgenson> was EF pretending to be drunk again?
[02:23:44] <arti> i've sifted through 60+ tabs today
[02:24:19] <arti> i have a terrible habbit of keeping things interesting open, lest they disappear or change. kinda neat for some of the imgur stuff open since they changed the styles
[02:24:36] <juggs> SpallsHurgenson, no idea
[02:25:06] <juggs> arti, I do the same - end up with a mountain of tabs open that I intend to go back too
[02:25:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I only see the after effects of his shenanigans
[02:25:55] <SpallsHurgenson> I think the most tabs I've ever had open at once was 20.

[02:26:08] <Rodent> kill them.
[02:26:09] <juggs> lightweight :D
[02:26:14] <Rodent> kill them all!
[02:26:25] <SpallsHurgenson> I tend to read through the open ones before opening new ones
[02:26:27] <juggs> seriously EF?
[02:26:53] <Rodent> Well, what is offensive?
[02:26:55] <SpallsHurgenson> and if I'm not able to get around to it, I drag the link to the desktop to read later.
[02:27:15] <Rodent> Dobnt mind me.
[02:27:24] <Rodent> I dont know shit from shine-ola.
[02:27:49] <Rodent> HAHAHAHAHAHHAA
[02:28:53] <Rodent> Have you ever seen a motherfucker blowchnunks?
[02:28:54] <arti> juggs, how bad has it become for you?
[02:29:05] <Rodent> arti, they're trying to kill me
[02:29:15] <arti> "they"
[02:29:19] <juggs> arti, not bad at all. I only have ~10 at the moment
[02:29:22] <Rodent> Pleasem, airlift me outta here
[02:29:36] <arti> it's terrible when the tab icons are no longer visible
[02:30:08] <juggs> arti, then it is time to "New Window" and move some of the tabs to the new instance :D
[02:33:39] <arti> yeah the process repeats itself
[02:33:44] <arti> 3 windows ...

[02:33:58] <arti> :D
[02:35:09] <SpallsHurgenson> I wish I could count to ten
[02:35:36] <SpallsHurgenson> thank god we have computers to help us with these difficult mathematical tasks
[02:36:38] <arti> part of the problem today
[02:36:46] <arti> "i can haz solution on calc!"
[02:37:39] <Rodent> SUCK MY FUCKING DICK
[02:38:27] <juggs> .kick Rodent
[02:38:27] -!- Rodent was kicked from #Soylent by juggler!SN@services. [(juggs) No reason given]
[02:38:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
[02:38:41] <juggs> TheMightyBuzzard, new prefix required :D
[02:38:47] <SpallsHurgenson> yes, but computers are flawless when it comes to their calculations! :)
[02:39:14] <juggs> floating point on a pentium anyone?
[02:39:59] <SpallsHurgenson> the pentiums were calculating correctly; it was the world that was wrong :)
[02:40:05] <juggs> I should rephrase that - early pentium
[02:54:20] <juggs> arti, using a calc or computer shouldn't be an issue as long as the person using understands that it is a tool not a substitute for understanding the theory. Case in point - Crystal Reports - awesome tool for preparing visual representations of data sets. But damn does it get abused. People add a trend line for instance, then cycle through the trend line options (linear, moving average, polynomial etc.) until they find one that suits their agenda -
[02:54:20] <juggs> that's just using the tool badly. Sadly, in business circles it is usually easy to blag that kind of graphic through to a desired decision. :(
[02:59:55] <SpallsHurgenson> you seem to be making an important point, well worth listening to... but could you possibly present it with power point?
[03:05:34] <arti> absolutely, i'd say many aren't as proficient as they think they are.

[03:20:19] <juggs> mrcoolbp, NC is blazing on the Apache2 transition on devtest. We have an issue with PP IPN processing - pj is on that I think, I suspect that means we are not crediting subs days, but not had that confirmed. Otherwise all quite I think (I've given up trying to keep up with #soylent scroll back).
[03:20:35] <juggs> quiet*
[03:20:46] <mrcoolbp> juggs: I'll check the last few subs see what I can dig up
[03:21:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> juggs, that's for the new pp sub service that autobills and it's only on their test server right now.
[03:21:37] <mrcoolbp> ah
[03:21:43] <mrcoolbp> last few look good
[03:22:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> been no changes to live subs
[03:22:38] <juggs> TheMightyBuzzard, thanks for the clarification - I must have skim read to fast, I thought it was affecting live.
[03:22:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we're good
[03:22:51] <juggs> too fast* sheesh!
[03:23:21] <mrcoolbp> juggs: yeah when I see my name pinged I search for the last few so I don't miss too much, but reading all of it? hah.

[04:05:26] <SpallsHurgenson> many is the time when I needed to detect those
[04:05:52] <SpallsHurgenson> usually when I suspected a temporal anomaly was close

[23:38:54] <mrcoolbp> (soon)
[23:40:37] <prospectacle> couldn't hurt
[23:41:07] <prospectacle> So I'm going to put in my subscription comment a few things and I would like any feedback or criticism before I post it.
[23:41:15] <mrcoolbp> okay
[23:41:16] <mrcoolbp> ready
[23:41:27] <mrcoolbp> (you could post it on dev to test formatting btw
[23:41:39] <prospectacle> I'm thinking we should also focus on (unintrusive, and non-bastardly) means of increasing the % of subscribers, not just the $ per subscriber.
[23:42:03] <prospectacle> for example, it's not especially obvious where/how/why to subscribe if you're a casual user (even if you have an account)
[23:42:39] <mrcoolbp> someone mentioned the idea of a banner at the top (kinda like the submission nagger) if you haven't subscribed yet
[23:42:45] <mrcoolbp> still better than an ad
[23:42:56] <prospectacle> I'm not thinking of a big banner, or a popup (heaven forfend), or any flashing reminder, but just a subtle, but overall far more noticeable set of ways to easily access the subscribe pages
[23:43:21] <mrcoolbp> I can play with the text near the funding meter
[23:43:28] <n1> mrcoolbp, i think that will make a difference, a subscription nagger
[23:43:28] <mrcoolbp> have to pester the devs to do much beyond that
[23:43:47] <prospectacle> i like terry pratchett's first rule of business: always make it easy for people to give you money.
[23:44:26] <n1> it needs to be there, ready for the time people are ready themselves
[23:44:34] <prospectacle> I'm on the main page, not logged in, and without scrolling I see no way to subscribe, or suggestion that it's even possible or worthwhile.
[23:44:48] <prospectacle> oh wait I'm lying, I see the fund-o-meter
[23:44:55] <n1> its not obvious though
[23:45:05] <n1> to me anyway, it gets lost down there
[23:45:38] <chromas> Put a 08★Subscribe link under the username
[23:45:46] <prospectacle> right, it's not obvious, also only in the context of support us. I would think maybe (off the top of my head), put "subscribe" near "create account", also a "Why subscribe?
[23:45:50] <prospectacle> " link
[23:46:06] <n1> what chromas said
[23:46:39] <mechanicjay> I especially like the idea of "Why" link.
[23:47:01] <n1> yes
[23:47:44] <prospectacle> There are two "Create account" links and two "login" links near the top of the main page, but only one "subscribe" further down, and no "why subscribe" or "why we need your money" or anything
[23:48:02] <prospectacle> chromas, you mean if you're logged in but not subscribed?
[23:48:28] <n1> idea: subscribe button next to login/logout
[23:48:38] <prospectacle> yeah
[23:49:01] <n1> underneath that, text link: why subscribe
[23:49:01] <chromas> put the start next to it to help make the connection maybe
[23:49:02] <n1> ?
[23:49:06] <chromas> star
[23:49:16] <n1> yeah
[23:49:51] <mrcoolbp> paulej72 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[23:50:10] <prospectacle> if subscribe were on the left, among the main top-level links, and were a different colour and had a "Why subscribe" link accompanying it, then I think it would dramatically increase awareness, without being rude or annoying or intrusive
[23:51:18] <mrcoolbp> prospectacle: I increased the font-size by 20% on the "Support Us: Subscribe Here" near funding progress
[23:51:30] <mrcoolbp> I like your ideas better
[23:51:40] <prospectacle> it's kind of the same logic behind companies who are clearly and unambiguously on top of their markets (coke, mcdonalds, subway) continuing to advertise all the time, because it's not about being known, it's about being remembered. Big difference.
[23:51:44] <mrcoolbp> (but need'a pester the devs for that stuff)
[23:51:51] <prospectacle> You don't have to advertise as such to do that, but you have to remind people one way or another.
[23:51:57] <mrcoolbp> yeah
[23:52:07] <mrcoolbp> just the article today brought in 10 subscriptions
[23:52:15] <n1> thats great
[23:52:18] <prospectacle> that is great
[23:52:54] <mrcoolbp> which is cool, but don't want to do an article like once a month explaining how we need a few more dollars. Your ideas are more of a long-term solution
[23:53:37] <n1> mrcoolbp, really dont want to do that.
[23:53:52] <mrcoolbp> not at all
[23:54:05] <prospectacle> I might be karmically punched for this, but maybe there could be two posting limits: free (30 posts a week, no rollover) and paid (60 a week), or whatever. I know it's a slippery slope and a dangerous path and all that, but I mean, 30 a week is hardly oppression and most people wouldn't reach it.
[23:54:42] <prospectacle> that's a bit off topic though, just brainstorming
[23:54:46] <mrcoolbp> subscriber benefits: https://soylentnews.org

[23:55:10] <mrcoolbp> also on the FAQ, I think we could just link to the anchor on the faq
[23:55:28] <prospectacle> oh i see
[23:55:29] <prospectacle> cool
[23:56:22] <prospectacle> Can we make it so whatever subscribers post, all non-subscribers are forced by hypno-gifs to believe without question?
[23:56:49] <prospectacle> or is that in there already
[23:56:57] <paulej72> I think a text only subscription nagger could be added to the submission nagger area
[23:57:37] <mrcoolbp> pj what about the "Why Subscribe?" thing?
[23:57:37] <paulej72> Not a big fan of a banner, I don’t want to be Wikipedia
[23:57:55] <paulej72> still reading the backlog
[23:57:58] <arti> pretty cool guys :D
[23:58:15] * mrcoolbp still plans on recruiting arti and prospectacle
[23:58:40] <arti> "the red shirts"
[23:58:47] <mrcoolbp> I think I tried to get chromas and crutchy, but they were too busy saying "g'day" to eachother
[23:58:55] <arti> it's polite to g'day
[23:59:03] <mrcoolbp> oh true.
[23:59:06] <arti> g'day sir
[23:59:19] <mrcoolbp> I said good day sir!
[23:59:57] <arti> g'day :D
[23:59:57] <ciri> yeah, yeah hi HI arti
