daily UTC chat log for Anywherebb (Postline 6.1.30)

18:30, Chad> IT wasn't me!
20:40, Raptorjedi> That is so disturbing.
20:41, Raptorjedi> Seeing his head spinning around like that, staring at you.
20:42, Fth> I don't really think it is.
20:42, Fth> Guess you're easily disturbed :P
20:44, Raptorjedi> I'm not really, but that just creeps me out
04:50, Duskesko> yay storms >_<
02:48, Trad.a whispers: Anybody else still play Moo1?
02:55, Cryoburner whispers: No
03:10, Raptorjedi> I bet Shadowlord does, maybe. Though I seem to remember that he prefers Master of Orion 2
03:10, Chad> Never heard of it.
03:11, Raptorjedi> The only MoO I know of is Master of Orion, so I'm assuming he means that :P
03:13, Cryoburner whispers: Mooo
05:06, Duskesko> fucking cows
05:13, Cryoburner whispers: Nyu?
05:21, Chad> You all make me laugh.
05:23, Bensel> Duskesko, it's not entirely what you said that made me annoyed
05:24, Bensel> It's more that not only did nobody even think of doing anything about it, people just started making fun of it and going "Don't look at the thread then, stupid"
05:26, Duskesko> umm, he didnt say 'stupid' >_>
05:26, Bensel> And then your post sounded to me like "why did you buy such a crappy connection? also, it's probably all your fault"
05:26, Bensel> So I overreacted a bit :3
05:26, Chad hides in the grass like a snake... Solid Snake!
05:26, Duskesko> I agreee that huge images in most threads are annoying.
05:27, Duskesko jumps around on his Metal Gear, like Liquid Snake!
05:27, Chad> MGS4 is awesome. Yep...
05:28, Bensel> (and I used to have dialup, so I know that if anyone looks into the thread on dialup they'll have their connection tied up for a good ten minutes probably)
05:29, Bensel> (and it just plain bothers me when people don't have the patience to do one extra step to keep from causing a major annoyance for a good chunk of people who don't share their good fortune)
05:29, Duskesko> Yea, I had dial-up up until a few months ago. Lots of people still use it. Dial-uppers just gotta know what they are getting into with threads based on images.
05:29, Chad> Dialup not fun... But I'm sure most common visitors here have something better then that.
05:29, Bensel sighs
05:29, Duskesko> Well, Bensel, in a thread not based around the idea of images, a link would be appropriate.
05:30, Duskesko> The way I see it, a thread about cartoon images of people is going to be full of images.
05:30, Duskesko> Anyway, I'm off to bed while the cartoon thread loads for me.
05:31, Bensel> Yes, but there's no way for me to filter out the thread on Postline, and I can't just browse it casually if I want because it ties up my connection for a while before I get to the newer images
05:32, Chad> Hmm... Postline should have a "Load images on demand" feature. Images are links, once clicked the image loads in the post. :P
05:57, Cryoburner> Why not increase your browser cache, so the images don't need to be downloaded each time?
06:10, Tom> Sounds like a job for the "KeepInCache" Firefox extension. Which doesn't exist, because I've not bothered to learn how to make Firefox extensions.
11:54, Megagun> You could probably write a Greasemonkey script that does that for you, Cryo...
11:55, Megagun> err.. Chad. not Cryo.
12:35, Megagun> Great, my regexp isn't working at all..
13:02, Megagun> Also, what the hell, no simple "rewrite every occurance of regexp x into y throughout the whole HTML" thing? :(
13:06, Buuks> Anyone here already downloaded FF3?
13:10, Megagun quits trying to make a script that makes 0x44 dialupfriendly.
13:11, Megagun> It seems like it's not possible to just apply a regexp over just the entire file.
13:11, Megagun> Either that, or it's just not mentioned. Anywhere.
13:49, Magnulus> No one is giving any love to the Spore Creature thread! *cries* Am I the only one still making stuff?
13:52, Megagun> Bah. shouldn't /<img src=cd[^>]*>/g match <img src=cd/pngs/6lmf8Qkixvsey8weptG3i.png width=639 height=657 border=0> too? :/
14:25, Magnulus> Huuuh?
16:37, Fth> Right now I'm in Bern with my Macbook... so I can't make stuff :/
16:38, Magnulus> Booooh! Anyway, one of my recent creatures got featured! Yay!
16:39, Fth> Go you! :P
16:54, Magnulus> In other news, EA's website sucks. Every second click, you have to log in again. It's seriously messed up.
17:00, Fth> ooh, the demo's out officially... *gets the mac version*
17:00, Fth> It probably won't work but... oh well
17:01, Magnulus> Yeah... I just wish they'd give me the full version... Watching the tutorial videos with all the different parts I don't have makes me anxious.
17:48, Megagun> Apparantly, you can buy the full version already here in The netherlands.. Although on the order page, it DOES say pre-order.
17:53, Magnulus> Yeah, I've already paid for it. Waiting for my mail with the promotion code so I can actually get it in the download manager thing.
18:01, Megagun> Well, it shoul dbe released today, apparantly.
18:09, Magnulus> I'm aware. Perhaps it'll come later today, I don't know. (It's Apparently, by the way)
19:55, Megagun> It should apparantly be here in 2 or so hours, Mags.
19:58, Megagun> Also, is it just me, or does Postline scroll rather weird under Firefox 3.0?
19:58, Megagun> Weird meaning choppy.
20:03, Megagun meant: apparently
20:20, Cryoburner whispers: Tht's because Firefix 3.0 sucks.
20:21, Cryoburner> I downloaded the release candidate the other day, just so I could avoid taking part in their stupid "download day" nonsense.
21:54, Magnulus> I created a Mannoroth! http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ast-500000407372%3Asast-500000407372
21:57, Megagun> You should tag your stuff with anywherebb.. :)
21:59, Magnulus> I just remembered something! We should all make Lithium eaters!
22:00, Magnulus> To definitively show our personal views on what they look like! ^_^
22:11, Megagun> YAY SPORE MAIL :D:D::D
22:12, Megagun installs
22:16, Megagun> Silly, though, the EA installer reqires 5GB of free space (because it "recommends 5GB of free space")...
22:31, Magnulus> Holy crap!
22:31, Magnulus> Uhm, how do I download it without having to pay for it again?
22:33, Magnulus> Ah! Never mind!
22:33, Magnulus> YAAAAY!
22:33, Magnulus> Goddamn it, I'm gonna be late to bed again.
22:35, Magnulus> Better warm up the remains of the dinner.
23:09, Bensel> Oh look, I have a featured creature!: http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-ftrd
23:11, Magnulus> You too? Awesome! There aren't many of them.
23:11, Deanfrz> I just see Mags
23:11, Magnulus> Selbio. Meh.
23:12, Bensel> Mags: Don't worry
23:12, Magnulus> I have no idea how features work. I mean, there are only 27 featured creatures, after all, so it can't be just people pressing some "feature this!" button that I can't see.
23:12, Bensel> I cheated, read the description :)
23:13, Bensel> Come to IRC :3
23:13, Bensel> Normally administrators pick creatures to feature
23:13, Magnulus> Oh, you mean if you have the word "feature" in the description, it'll be featured? That's a bit naff! ^_^
23:13, Magnulus> No IRC client.
23:13, Bensel> No
23:14, Bensel PMs you then
23:15, Deanfrz> so you cheated!?!!
23:15, Deanfrz> screw it, this game practically inspired that game
23:15, Deanfrz> they owe us!
23:25, Deanfrz> HEY!!! buncha jerks!
23:31, Deanfrz> Did Mags get up there legitamitly?
23:32, Bensel> Yes
