Barrista Feedback

Hello again. I tried Barrista but isn't working properly. I thought that the others scripts/extensions could be messing with it, so I disabled them all but with no luck. Here's a screencapture. I'm using Firefox 3.0.15 with latest Greasemonkey. Regards.--telepibe 03:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

How very odd, but you're completely correct...it does the same thing in my copy of Firefox. Thanks for letting me know. I hadn't yet tested it in Firefox, just because it and Safari usually render things similarly and I wasn't calling this a full release yet, but obviously they didn't render the same this time. Not quite sure what to make of that. I'll look into it when I get a chance, but I'm not sure what the issue is or how much work it'll take to fix. Thanks again for cluing me in. Hopefully I'll get that cleaned up so the Firefox folks can use it. Aichon 05:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
I've given Barrista a try and it seems to work fine in Opera 10. Chief Seagull (talk) 09:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Glad to hear it. From what I saw, it mostly works in Chrome as well, though I had to make a few modifications. I've been keeping this message here all this time, rather than archiving it, because I still plan to go back and fix it for Firefox one of these days. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Once I make the Firefox fixes, I'll roll them in with my Chrome fixes, and will hopefully have v1.0 ready then. Aichon 15:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

UD Better Name Colorer

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet in-game, but nevertheless it has had an effect on the world in which I browse. Specifically, it makes all of the links in the wiki a rather light blue of colour. This all happened on a Wednesday, in Chrome. User:Pyxzer/sig 22:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, Chrome does that. The problem is that Chrome doesn't respect the code in the script that tells it which sites the script should or should not work with (I'm hoping they'll fix the issue, since it seems like a trivial thing to fix that'd make scripting a LOAD better). I've rigged up a version of the script that plays a bit more nicely with Chrome here, but haven't tested it thoroughly yet, so consider it beta. It also doesn't colorize quite as many things as the normal version of the colorer does, but it should still work on the important ones, I believe. Let me know how it works for you.

Kevan's email?

Hey, thanks for your response on my question about donating and the IP limit. Now, I'd like to email Kevan about this but, and I find this hard to believe myself, I can not seem to locate his email address... not for a lack of trying. Is it even posted publicly? --Draig Ravenstorm 03:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Try his main site. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 03:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, it's posted in his CV on his main site, or it should have been mentioned in your PayPal transaction at some point I believe. If you don't want to look through it though, it's <his name>@<his name>.org. Replace the "<his name>" with "kevan", of course. :) Aichon 06:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


Help....!

Hey Aichon, im sort of lost with the whole idea. Ive followed your instructions but still find myself ait overwhelmed. I know i shouldnt Copy and Paste it but how else would i do it? Brukhalien --Osric Stormwall 08:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll fix up the Recruitment page for you if you can get Grey Swords/Recruit looking good. Gimme one sec and I'll see what I can do for you, that way you can see how it's supposed to look. ;) Aichon 08:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Looks like this is all wrapped up. Misanthropy did the heavy lifting for me. Aichon 09:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help, both of you. Id have been cast into the abyss I hadn't of recieved any help! --Osric Stormwall 09:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem! Very glad to be of service. I'll have to figure out how to make those instructions clearer, since you're not the only one who's bumped into that issue. Aichon 09:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


Hey you

I keep calling you Ross by mistake. I think it's been like three times now. So, uh, sowwy. :(
If I do it and don't correct myself, remind me I owe you one (1) internet of your choice. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 09:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but I already downloaded it. No, seriously. I did. Follow the links from here for evidence. In the meantime, I'd settle for less edit conflicts. :P Aichon 09:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I can't promise anything but I'll see what I can do. Tongue.gif Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 09:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


Aha

Linking to A/DE will see A/DE getting quite long. Should there be some subpage to archive these or is it going to be a monthly archive like A/VB? If so that'll need to be created. I'll link to A/DE now cause it's getting late. :( Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 01:36, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd imagine it'd be an A/VB-esque archive, where you just include the current month's archive into A/DE, but that hasn't been done yet. I'd fix it myself, but I'm not quite able to. For now, CYA and link to A/DE, and the link can always be changed later. Aichon 01:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
CYA? Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 02:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Cover your ass. :P Aichon 01:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
I can't make any promises. I like to flaunt. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 02:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes. Well... Aichon 03:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
And it is a nice bottom at that.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 09:35, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
For something that won't be used often, it normally wouldn't have monthly archives, but because the links have to be permanently accessible before and after archives, we'll need to do it the A/VB way. However, having an archive with maybe two or three entries is stupid; how about archiving in quarter-yearly archives? -- 10:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Not sure if you're asking for my input or not, but quarterly sounds reasonable to me. After all, if we just take some ballpark estimations and say that half the cases on A/VB are ruled Vandalism and that half of those people will come back later and request a de-escalation, then you'd have just 1/4 as many de-escalations as cases on A/VB, so archiving it about 1/4 as often makes sense. Quarterly ends up being 1/3 as often, so that's close enough. You might even be able to stretch it out six months. Aichon 10:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, everyone's input would be most helpful. I wouldn't like six months because it means by the end of it there are 6 months worth of a/de entries on one archive page... It may clog up big time... -- 11:21, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, going quarterly for now makes sense. If push comes to shove and there are more requests than you expect, it should be trivial to switch to a monthly archive anyway. You can basically just treat the first quarter as an experiment to see how many requests actually come in, then make a final decision at the end of the quarter. Aichon 12:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Great Idea. I'll make a note on the talk page. -- 12:55, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

GSM2010

What are the plans with this? Wasn't it meant to have started by now? --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, it was supposed to be staging at this point, I believe, but I wasn't exactly the driving force behind it all, just a participant. Aichon 14:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Wiki forces will get around to it before the end of the month, I should imagine. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 15:50, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
As above. I've been bogged down with some RL stuff this last week, culminating in a funeral today. If one isn't already created by the middle of next week, I'll create an official page and we'll get things rolling. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 08:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Sounds good. I'm absolutely swamped IRL at the moment, and am no position to head up something right now. Aichon 17:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Let's Roll Some Heads!

At one point or another you expressed interest in helping with the latest Great Suburb Group Massacre. The official page has been made, complete with instructions. Go get 'em! --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 08:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

P.S. - We'll need you to change the link in the template to link to the actual page now that it's up. You're awesome! --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 08:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

How do!

Hi Aichon. Yep, my main character's in MOB so I update the map whenever I can. I have an alt in Judgewood Vector Control (Doctor Parrot) so that's the SoC connection. Chief Seagull talk 09:58, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
