[12:15:42] Dev: Whew. Tough crowd.

[12:15:52] Temporal beeped Dev.

[12:15:59] Dev: Dammit! I lost, didn't it?

[12:16:04] Temporal kicked Dev.

[12:16:04] Dev left.

[12:16:29] Dev joined.

[12:16:33] Dev: I keeel you!!

[12:18:51] Dev: Or ... just .... y'know...

[12:19:59] Dev: Okay, fine. I'm done.

[12:26:44] Dev: So Temp. If I allow a media section to only be viewable by certain people, does that mean the files therein can't be seen at all by anyone else?

[12:26:59] Dev beeped Temp.

[12:27:09] Dev: Er.

[12:27:13] Temporal: ... why did that beep no--- oh

[12:27:15] Temporal: dork

[12:27:22] Dev: I was just about to fix it. ^_^;

[12:27:51] Temporal: No... the files will still work...

[12:28:04] Temporal: if you somehow get a working link to them

[12:28:14] Dev: "Somehow"...

[12:28:33] Dev: Like if we want to use a media node to store graphics that we'll use in other regular nodes.

[12:28:57] Temporal: we could do that. But I have more efficient ways to host static files.

[12:30:40] Dev: But that's outside the manager.

[12:30:50] Temporal: yes

[12:31:26] Dev: Uh. Whoa.

[12:31:31] Temporal: ... what?

[12:31:32] Dev: Mt. St. Helens erupted. o_O

[12:31:56] Temporal: I thought it was just spewing smoke again

[12:32:16] Dev: Yesterday. I guess it was a small eruption.

[12:32:24] Dev: http://www.komotv.com/stories/35631.0htm

[12:46:13] Dev: Lunch time!

[12:46:17] Dev went away: Out to lunch.

[13:03:17] burn left.

[13:03:28] burn joined.

[13:03:43] Temporal beeped burn.

[13:03:43] burn: damn it make links in teh chat wondow pop

[13:03:50] burn beeped temporal.

[13:04:10] burn: crazy logging myself out

[13:04:22] Temporal: I really can't. My text formatting code doesn't know that it's being used in a chat window.

[13:04:33] Temporal: it's the same code used for chats as for the rest of the site

[13:04:34] burn: yeah thats cool

[13:10:48] burn: i changed my color

[13:11:12] burn: i was reading our transcript from yesterday and i was concerned that therewere too many oranges

[13:11:28] Temporal: heh

[13:11:32] burn: so i opted for a yellowish color

[13:12:08] Temporal: yeah, Captain Vimes went and changed his color yesterday because there were too many people using orange

[13:12:36] burn: to some sort of aquamarine

[13:12:51] burn: Capt Vimes you can go back to orange!

[13:13:00] Temporal: gold-ish and green-ish seem very popular

[13:13:22] Temporal: I'm the only person to try red/maroon so far, though

[13:16:22] burn: what did you do to the tint?

[13:16:27] burn: there are no dark options

[13:16:49] burn: and by dark i mean no shades

[13:16:55] burn: if you took art classes

[13:17:09] Temporal: luminance is forced to match the rest of the site

[13:17:17] Temporal: that's why post colors actually look good

[13:17:27] burn: i see

[13:17:30] Temporal: if we let people choose whatever luminance they wanted, it would look disgusting!

[13:17:31] burn: thats cool

[13:18:15] burn: so if you decied to use a darker color for the site the luminance would change to match the color

[13:19:32] Temporal: hrm

[13:19:34] burn: does your server determin the page style... ie page layout or is that in editable template files?

[13:19:42] Temporal: it occurs to me that that isn't actually configurable right now

[13:19:51] burn: well dont worry about it

[13:19:54] Temporal: the server produces all the HTML

[13:20:01] burn: i see

[13:20:07] burn: so layout is all determined

[13:20:15] Temporal: well, you can do a lot with CSS

[13:20:33] Temporal: but, yeah, pretty much

[13:21:00] Temporal: editing the generation code is not that hard... if you know Evlan...

[13:21:07] burn: sure but it is already in html4 it would be easier in xhtml and div tags

[13:21:17] Temporal: err

[13:21:22] Temporal: html4 uses div tags

[13:21:38] burn: dont you use tables

[13:21:43] Temporal: not for layout

[13:21:44] burn: to create these pages

[13:21:58] burn: i havent looked at the source

[13:22:05] burn: so i am just talking whatifs

[13:22:19] Temporal: I use tables when tables are the obvious way to display things (i.e. when the data is actually a table)

[13:22:23] burn: i figure it is easier just to ask then actually do some work

[13:22:36] burn: ie the calander

[13:22:41] Temporal: the site is laid out using div's. I actually figured out how to do it from looking at your code for theposse.org

[13:22:53] burn: oh good i am glad

[13:23:08] Temporal: specifically, figured out to use a margin to make room for the sidebar

[13:23:16] burn: ah yes

[13:23:20] Temporal: for awhile I was trying to use absolute positioning with both left and right specified

[13:23:22] Temporal: IE didn't like that

[13:23:27] burn: yeah

[13:23:49] burn: you have to write specific css code to get it to work in IE
