Is a visit to the shooting range in order for the weekend? I think so.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I'm so, so sorry.
Next time I'll put up a video of a kitten pressing buttons or something. Anything but VB and javascript...

Strange, so did I, however it did result in me restructuring some javascript callbacks and filtering logic and finding a problem that has been pulling my hair out (yes one of the few I have left), and a chance to try VS11.
Today, will therefore be an article update day (hopefully)

Mine wasn't nearly as interesting. I had to rework an implementation of a long-ago-abandoned 3rd party menu system that I've never personally had any exposure to, and figure out how to control what the menu contains based on the user's role. To make matters worse, the javascript was "optimized" into a single line more than 10,000 characters long, using variables like "l56", "l118", and crap like that. ALL of the variables and method names had been changed to obfuscated names.
I ended up having to spend most of the day evaluating the menu code just so I could add three lines of javascript and about a dozen lines of VB.

eww! I hate coming accross those when poking around sites javascript. Thankfully Chromes "pretty print" button works wonders to sort out the formatting, at least making things easier to read the structure.

Hi everybody,
since an update about 1 1/2 hours ago every link to the Visual Basic forum ends on some script.com site...
What's wrong? Are you going to correct that or has VB been eliminated?
Thanks

I'm getting the Java lounge instead of the real one.

 Same here !

Seems the Lounge isn't the Lounge. But you are probably aware of the issue, so I'll just go chat in the French forum until the Lounge is fixed.

Like this?
while (LoungeIsStillBroke)
{
try
{
Post(FrenchForum, "Merde");
}
catch(UnknownForumException e)
{
Post(BugsAndSuggestions, "We need a French Forum!";
}
}
Edit: added error handling code
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Actually, the first French phrase I learned (courtesy of my mom) was "merde avec beaucoup d'eau."

In the table explaining how many points you need to be silver / gold / ...
there is a line: none -2147483648 Under Water
Does anyone actually have -2147483648 points?
|
|
|
|
|
0xFFFF0000 signed int points you mean?
==============================
Nothing to say.

I've updated that (release today or tomorrow hopefully) to be -∞.
It's the minimum you need for that level

This member has "0 ()" listed next to "Articles" and "Messages". Seems like something should be in there or the parens should not be there.

I've seen this on a few members lately. I think "Mr Maunder and Hamsters from Hell" have tweaked the rendering of reps and it hasn't worked out well.

Fixed next release.
And yeah, the Hamsters are out of control, crazy creatures. Empty parenthesis one day, riots and looting the next. I should be paid danger money.

Based on casual observation, more people than not appear to be walking around with empty parenthesis between their ears...

It's not my place to make explicit such social commentary.
I will be more discrete about my thoughts and feelings from now on.
