[12:04:40] mystik3eb joined.
[12:04:58] mystik3eb: Well Temp fixed the clock...
[12:35:29] mystik3eb went away: at work
[13:04:49] Captain Vimes joined.
[13:07:41] Captain Vimes: Um. Well, the beep controls aren't there for nothing.
[13:31:37] Temporal joined.
[13:31:41] Temporal: boo
[13:31:51] Temporal: I'm running this from Safari on my Mac mini.
[13:31:55] Temporal: Yay.
[13:32:55] Temporal beeped Temporal.
[13:32:57] Temporal: yay
[13:33:04] Temporal beeped Captain Vimes.
[13:33:54] Captain Vimes: You beeped?
[13:34:00] Temporal: hi
[13:34:20] Captain Vimes: Hello!
[13:34:24] Temporal: sup?
[13:34:28] Captain Vimes: Nothing much.
[13:34:51] Captain Vimes: Well... 20 pages
[13:34:57] Temporal: ?
[13:35:00] Captain Vimes: That's a lot of chat done.
[13:35:06] Temporal: heh
[13:35:17] Temporal: and all the timestamps are off by four hours. -_-
[13:35:55] Captain Vimes: Well, you said, noone really expected for the timestamps to be in their native time zone
[13:35:58] Temporal: uh. And... these timestamps I'm seeing here are way wrong.
[13:36:10] Temporal: are you seeing correct timestamps?
[13:36:40] Captain Vimes: It matches my time, well, around it.
[13:36:49] Captain Vimes: In this chat, anyway. I'll go look at the logs
[13:36:57] Temporal: it should be exactly correct for your timezone in chat. The logs should show PST.
[13:37:04] Temporal left.
[13:37:13] Temporal joined.
[13:37:16] Temporal: frick
[13:37:23] Temporal: note to self: shift-click doesn't work in safari
[13:37:27] Captain Vimes: heh.
[13:37:52] Temporal: timestamps appear correct in the logs. It must just be Safari's fault
[13:38:35] Captain Vimes: Anything of import happen in the scant few hours I've been gone?
[13:39:04] Temporal: we talked about scores
[13:39:30] Captain Vimes: As in, point distribution, right?
[13:39:32] Temporal: if you look at the user list you'll see a lot of people have received points for old posts
[13:39:33] Temporal: yes
[13:39:45] Captain Vimes: That reminds me, why does mystik have 0/6?
[13:40:02] Temporal: basically, typical posts will receive 1-3 points, maybe 4 on occasion
[13:40:51] Temporal: music or art submissions, or "articles" (long pieces of text, such as the gameplay proposal) will start at 5 points and go up
[13:41:13] Temporal: mystik has 0/6 because he has received points for several very old posts
[13:41:24] Captain Vimes: Oh, it auto-calculates them. Cool.
[13:41:36] Captain Vimes: I thought that all points would be treated as if it was from right now.
[13:41:52] Temporal: yeah, when awarding a post, points are given according to the time the post was originally posted
[13:42:37] Captain Vimes: That's really neat.
[13:42:57] Temporal: it was actually easier to do that way. :P
[13:43:13] Temporal: and cleaner
[13:43:21] Captain Vimes: And I saw that you can award points via the chat too, right?
[13:43:37] Temporal: yes
[13:44:33] Temporal: anyway, I mainly came here to see for myself what this looks like in Safari
[13:44:39] Captain Vimes: Clean?
[13:44:47] Temporal: hmm?
[13:45:41] Captain Vimes: Does it look good?
[13:45:51] Temporal: yes
[13:46:09] Temporal: but it has to use polling mode because Apple hasn't fully implemented LiveConnect
[13:46:11] Temporal: which kinda sucks
[13:46:38] Temporal: the result of that being a small amount of lag
[13:46:48] Temporal: and increased processor usage on the client side
[13:46:53] Temporal: oh well
[13:47:13] Captain Vimes: Polling...mode?
[13:47:46] Captain Vimes: Well, nevermind.
[13:47:52] Temporal: basically the javascript has to go in a loop where every half-second or so it asks the applet whether any new messages have arrived
[13:48:04] Captain Vimes: o_O
[13:48:15] Temporal: because with Safari's bad LiveConnect implementation, the applet can't send messages to the javascript
[13:48:20] Captain Vimes: So all messages are sent or recieved those half seconds?
[13:48:30] Temporal: they are displayed on those half-seconds
[13:48:39] Captain Vimes: Ah.
[13:48:44] Temporal: it's only a problem between the javascript and the applet, which are both running on the client side
[13:48:51] Temporal: the applet manages the connection while the javascript manages display
[13:49:31] Temporal: anyway
[13:49:33] Temporal: leaving now
[13:49:44] Temporal left.
[13:49:59] Captain Vimes: Hm.
[13:50:08] Captain Vimes rolls (1-20): 10
[13:50:14] Captain Vimes: Eh. Passable.
[13:50:15] Captain Vimes left.
[14:12:02] mystik3eb returned.
[14:12:17] mystik3eb: *sigh* I missed the action
[14:42:01] Captain Vimes joined.
[14:42:08] mystik3eb: Hey Vimes
[14:42:49] Captain Vimes: Lo Mystik
[14:43:54] mystik3eb rolls (1-20): 19
[14:44:14] Captain Vimes: Oh, dang.
[14:44:17] Captain Vimes rolls (1-20): 20
[14:44:18] mystik3eb: Sweeeeeet
[14:44:19] Captain Vimes: Ha!
[14:44:20] mystik3eb: WHAT
[14:44:25] mystik3eb: Just my luck...
[14:44:36] Captain Vimes wins.
[14:44:37] mystik3eb: Dude...
[14:44:41] Captain Vimes: Yes?
[14:44:41] mystik3eb: Blast
[14:44:51] mystik3eb rolls (1-6): 1
[14:45:00] Captain Vimes: Wow. Bad luck indeed.
[14:45:02] Captain Vimes rolls (1-6): 6
[14:45:03] mystik3eb: Don't....even...
[14:45:08] mystik3eb: ......
[14:45:13] Captain Vimes: o_O
