AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
02:22, Cryoburner whispers: Are you sure you're converting the time properly to match the ABB server time?
02:22, Mary Lou> Yes the last query was in my knowledge base.
02:24, Jam whispers: Good Mary Lou! It's almost like you can read my mind...
02:25, Jam> I think I'm converting it right...
02:29, Jam> Some of the values seem crazy though. One day had 271 posts!
03:26, Raptorjedi> Another problem with custom ranks is Alex would probably mess something up and suddenly we would have 800 admins :3=
03:30, Raptorjedi> Also, hey Cryo. Find that BONES file? :3=
08:59, Cryoburner> What what!? Stop spying!
09:01, Cryoburner whispers: Actually, I was checking if there was a subdirectory with anything in it, after seeing that other error message. :P
09:58, E_net4> We don't even need 100 admins.
10:00, Cryoburner whispers: There are only 40 or so...
10:18, Starchaser whispers: Apart from 50% of the moderators and two of the five admins never even logging in. We really only have about half of the forum staff the page claims. :P
10:21, Cryoburner whispers: Yeah, I'd say only a couple admins and a couple mods actually moderate the forum on a semi-regular basis. :P
10:25, Starchaser whispers: At the rate posts come in you could probably survive on one admin. :P
10:27, Cryoburner whispers: Do you even post? :P
10:33, Starchaser whispers: Not for a long time. :D
10:34, Starchaser whispers: I hath transformed into a lurker.
17:11, Speeder is pissed with twitter... he is trying to upload a cool bg that he spend the night doing, but twitter is returning errors
20:03, Jam thinks Speeder should make some awesome Paddle Wars backgrounds.
20:04, Jam whispers: maybe after the game is ready to be advertised.
20:09, Speeder> What do you mean awesome PW backgrounds? Background for what? (sorry, I am kinda stupid today for words... trying to fix ball physics all the day :P)
20:11, Jam> The desktop.
20:12, Jam whispers: A wallpaper
20:13, Jam whispers: Or maybe it wouldn't work so well...
20:14, Jam> Just something to think about for the future...
20:27, Speeder> Hum... It is not bad idea, but I have no idea on how to do it :P (the only idea that come to my head is a collection of screenshots, and that would suck :P)
20:27, Speeder> Maybe use my boxart (yes, I made boxart already)
20:28, Jam> Cool!
20:28, Speeder> http://www.indiedb.com/games/paddle-wars-hit-the-wall <<< the boxart is here
20:32, Jam> Looks very nice!
20:33, Speeder> :D
20:34, Speeder> I need to figure how to advertise it already, because I am struggling to find testers :/
20:35, Jam> I haven't told anyone because I was told not to...
21:05, Speeder> Ok, you can tell everyone :) (telling people to not tell anyone don't worked well :/)
21:06, Speeder> I think that albey beat me to it :P (the first thing he said, was that it was a mistake asking people to not spread the word)
21:56, Speeder> Hey Jam, can you upvote that? http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/cs7tk/new_breakout_clone_out_for_t esting_play_double/ (someone suggested me to test if this helps...)
22:55, Jam fails to find an "upvote" button.
22:56, Jam realizes he probably needs an account.
23:09, Speeder> Oh :( Ok :/
23:10, Speeder> Although making a account is REALLY easy (you don't even need to provide an e-mail \o/)
23:14, Jam> Hmm... I never really like registering for things I can't unregister from... I'll think about it...
23:26, Speeder> I only regreted registering somewhere only once: When I could not unregister, and to register I had to provide my ID number (like the US social security number)
23:27, Speeder> This was for a online game (that does not worked :/ On the day I registered they had a MySQL bug that sent my registration to limbo...)
23:30, Jam> That's not good... And they wanted your ID number thing? It sounds like some sort of scam or something...
23:48, Speeder> It was a MMO company, it was to prevent multiple accounts and to be able to ban people (something REALLY important in Brazil :/ Brazillian ethics are non-existant... )
23:49, Jam> Ah.
