I’m working on setting up groups and have come across these settings pages: Group Types and Member Types. I haven’t checked them out in the docs yet but the docs in the control panel don’t shed much light on them. It’s definitely something we’ll want to read up on

Edit:

I’ve set up a test group with a test forum for the group and it looks like you’re only allowed one forum per group. However, it looks like I can hack together a fix by flipping the group forum to a category. It sounds like the permissions will cascade down the tree but we’ll want to test it before we use them in production.

Sorry, been rather preoccupied lately

Let’s keep them coming!

Another idea is to use an Arduino and an E-Ink screen to create a comic strip reader that pulls them from the web. Sort of like the comics section in the paper but without the paper part 🙂

No idea how complicated that one would be, though 😛

Focused on the site and designing the giant pinball machine right now! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Currently playing it on Windows. It’ll work on *nix but I’m trying to separate out the two systems into work and play 🙂

Yep, the character analysis is fascinating!

Maybe! Generally, they were added right below the content. Old versions of IP.Board had them, too!

Digg has gone from an aggregator to curated, StumbleUpon was shut down, and it looks like Delicious also shut down with the brand being traded around for some odd reason or another. Makes me kind of sad 🙁

Yeah. Canada also has some bad wildfires now, as well 🙁

The planet is in a lot of pain lately 🙁

We’ve been getting a fair amount of rain but it hasn’t been cooling things off much. Instead, it’s been 95+F with 100% humidity as a result. Feels like 110F or so. Yuck!

Yep, saw From Dusk till Dawn the other day and it was fun. Definitely not a masterpiece but fun nonetheless! I didn’t understand the ending, though. What was the significance of the half buried pyramid in the final shot? I checked Wiki but they didn’t have any insight on it, just said that it was the final shot

It does sound pretty basic 😛

Been wanting to watch Midsomer Murders for quite some time. After I catch up on some anime, I may see about giving it a whirl. 🙂

I do enjoy anime!

Fixed the width and I fixed up a few more things in the Reply form that only showed up on the New Topic form. 🙂

Anything else that comes to mind on the styles other than cleaning them up?

Edit:

Missed some things in the Post Edit form. Will get those in just a minute!

Edit 2:

Got ’em!

Got it on the wishlist! Seriously need to update it some more. 😛

Never played the previous games, how are they?

Tabletop Simulator looks cool. May pick it up at some point 🙂

It should hopefully automatically renew then. 🙂 May be a day or so later for the task to trigger. It shouldn’t but it does on the other server /shrug

[Spastic Hamburger]

I updated the first post with the current styles. Some of them are redundant and will be going away when I clean things up. 🙂

Other than that, I think there are just a few more things to adjust and then I’ll move on to BuddyPress to see if can get the group feature configured in preparation for our long term goal of letting other people join in the fun

[Spastic Hamburger]

And then the cycle begins again. As soup is created, the contents merge and simmer, creating a new substance that is much different from the outset. As the process continues, the emails continue to mutate, gaining features and losing others. Where they’ll wind up, we only need to observe to find out. But hopefully they don’t take over!

Oh, it’s just a notice letting us know that they’re updating the activity policy. My personal account got one, too. They’ll let us know if it gets flagged as inactive so that we can keep it alive. 🙂

It’s set up to be accessed by a standalone client due to the way MFA is set up. 🙂

Haven’t come across that before. If I had seen it at the time, I probably would have tried to think of another name. I do dislike stepping on people’s toes :/

Yeah, sounds like he hit a major low spot. Reading through his old posts, it’s really been a rollercoaster for him. Very sad to make that the last post 🙁

[Spastic Hamburger]

No worries. 🙂

Yeah, I stay logged in over there too. Maybe we’ll be able to grab everything one day 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I think we removed it as we found we could toggle a setting in the NAS settings menu to grab a free SSL certificate 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

There was a theme update available so I went ahead and applied it. As a consequence, it also overrode the hack we did to make bbPress show up so I enabled that option in the style pack. As a consequence of the consequence, we have much better theme support but it also means I have a few more styles to tweak now. Keep an eye out for anything unusual after the update!

The style pack changes the width to 75% so I’ll override that so we have more viewing space again 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Looks like this will be fixed in the next update: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/commit/bbde786798c47b61f1ef87bd049224f351458b7b

[Spastic Hamburger]

Oh, yeah. That jazz is great!

Nowadays, most anime use pop. In the 2000’s, they went through a rock phase. Seems they change up their style every decade or so 😛

Our frogs get loud! It sounds like a racetrack some of the times 😛

Here’s one that’s kind of got an RPG vibe to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xk3AbQ0k6w

And here’s a fun cover of Eruption by Van Halen by one of my favorite Japanese groups.

I love what they’ve done with it!

Got another tip that probably holds true for any *nix setup: if you’re installing Windows alongside, then I recommend increasing the boot partition from 500 MB to either 750 MB or 1 GB. While 500 MB used to be okay (it’s been the standard for well over a decade), the boot files have grown to where you run low on space with just a few images and Windows. There’s also the option of changing the compression scheme for the *nix images to shrink them even more. I’ll pull that and share it when I reach that step 🙂

I think I may uninstall (or try to) all of the various language packs that come along with GNOME. I only use the US English variety so I don’t see why I need the others installed. Unless, of course, they add viewing support. Going to need to check on things first

Definitely going slow but I’ve been rather slow lately. On the bright side, I should have the basics fixed up soon! 🙂

Going to try and get Gramps tested out for you in a couple of days. 🙂

Portal is a wonderful game! Been playing Portal 2 since I picked it up for less than a dollar on sale the other day. GladOS is pretty upset, to say the least!

Yeah, I missed out on Psychonauts too. I really need to change that one day!

We called them share links I think. 🙂

Some of those sites are no more and I do miss them. 🙁

Huh, never noticed that site before. Will definitely need to peruse their content some more. You can never have too much cowbell! 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

I don’t think we have much in there that’s sensitive, do we? Haven’t really looked at that in a long time

Yeah, they’ve been updating the inactivity policy the last few years. Two years ago, they started off with Drive and other miscellaneous data storage. They’re probably tired taking care of abandoned email addresses and decided that it’s best to reintroduce them back to the wild. It does bring up an interesting question: what’s the native habitat of an email address like? Does it have cookies? Surely not cake. And what kind of predators do they need to look out for?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yep, we can certainly add them to the wishlist! 🙂

Took a quick look and quite a few of the options haven’t been updated in a long time but we’re sure to find a good option! 🙂

Nothing wrong with posting junk! In fact, it livens things up! 😀

Yeah, I think the cursor issue is a browser limitation. It’s been bothering me on the web for years!

I think it’s because it’s set up as a script, activated on click, but I’m not sure. I never could get the hang of PHP 😛

When I try to open up what I think are links elsewhere on the web but are really stylized buttons using the link element, I wind with with either about:blank or it sends me back to the page without activating the action. Very annoying! Sometimes I wish folks would make these things more obvious 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sounds good! 🙂

So here’s another one from the vault (one of my earliest ones, in fact): https://web.archive.org/web/20080410072412/http://www.game-ism.com/?p=91

The original site the article was on is long gone but I managed to pull it up via the Internet Archive 🙂
