[02:18]<+Tux2> AAAUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I just made another plugin that someone requested: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/exspongein/
[02:19]<@BC_Programming> why is that an aaaugh
[02:20]<+Tux2> lol, another plugin to support
[02:21]<@BC_Programming> ahh fair enough
[02:22]<+Tux2> What do you think of the plugin description?
[02:23]<Nat> XD
[02:23]<@BC_Programming> nice work
[02:24]<+Tux2> lol, thanks, one of those quick 20 minute codes
[02:25]<+Tux2> It worked first try without needing any tweaks...
[02:54]<Nat> that's the best feeling
[03:09]<@BC_Programming> hmm I broke my repopulator for double-chests
[03:12]<@BC_Programming> appears that I have to find something unique about an ItemHolder to index because the same one suddenly stops working :/

[13:13]<@Mulreay> Hey guys
[13:14]<Cenobite> ai Dragon
[13:14]<@BC_Programming> I'm learnin the PDO I am I am
[13:15]<@Mulreay> Sounds fun
[13:16]<@BC_Programming> eh
[13:16]<@Mulreay> heh
[13:17]<@Mulreay> Here's a pic to make you smile hopefully
[13:17]<@Mulreay> http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/9949/proofofgodandspiderman.jpg
[13:18]<@BC_Programming> "And, yay, he is spiderman, spiderman, and, yay, he can do whatever a spider can"
[13:19]<@Mulreay> lol
[13:19]<@BC_Programming> "And it was said that he could spin a web of any size, and catch sinners just like flies"
[13:19]<@BC_Programming> "watch out here comes spiderman" <<proof of the return
[13:20]<@Mulreay> haha
[13:20]<@BC_Programming> do you doubt the scriptures!?
[13:21]<@Mulreay> I'm already trying to hang from the walls with my feet... just give me a minute
[13:22]<@BC_Programming> you have to let spiderman into your heart
[13:23]<@BC_Programming> "I CAN FEEL HIM!" said the man having a stroke
[13:23]<@Mulreay> OK can't hang from the walls can i just lie down with my feet up against the walls on a Thursday?
[13:23]<@BC_Programming> Thursday's no good, that's when the holy warriors of spiderman do battle with the holy warriors of the Green Lantern
[13:24]<@Mulreay> Damn
[13:24]<@BC_Programming> wel can probably cancel the shuffleboard tournament with the Superman followers
[13:30]<@BC_Programming> hmm it would be a lot easier to work with PHP if my webhost didn't just ignore any error that happens
[13:30]<@BC_Programming> miss a semicolon and the entire page is blank... heaven forbid there be any notification about that
[13:41]<@BC_Programming> hmm can't find the log files, could have sworn I found a log showing PHP errors
[13:41]<@BC_Programming> oh well I found another log that shows people trying weird stuff
[13:42]<@BC_Programming> someone trying to access http://bc-programming.com/blogs/2010/07/iisadmin for example
[13:43]<@Mulreay> cool
[13:43]<@Mulreay> Better than a white page
[13:44]<@BC_Programming> uh no
[13:44]<@BC_Programming> my PDO file still shows a white page
[13:44]<@BC_Programming> just found other logs while searching for the logfile so I can find out what errors PHP is encountering that causes it to abort and just show said white page
[13:48]<@BC_Programming> I forced it to show errors
[13:48]<@BC_Programming> BC:1 PHP:1
[13:48]<@BC_Programming> A tie
[13:52]<@BC_Programming> BEHOLD!
[13:52]<@BC_Programming> http://bc-programming.com/downloads/dlx.php
[13:53]<@Mulreay> COOL
[13:54]<@BC_Programming> now the more difficult task of replacing the older sql stuff in my downloads page with PDO
[13:55]<@BC_Programming> hmm nah
[13:56]<@BC_Programming> I'll wait until the next time I can be bothered with a full redesign
[13:56]<@Mulreay> I have the issue of should I have 'bacon butties, egg butties, egg pasta, processed burger, cod and chips, fish fingers and chips or jacket potatoes and fish... lots of fish
[14:00]<@BC_Programming> Well I was hoping to learn a bit more about the company as well as touch up on PHP and stuff
[14:00]<@BC_Programming> evidently that isn't going to happen
[14:30]<@BC_Programming> ahh nevermind
[14:31]<@BC_Programming> I'm googling everybody on their staff page
[14:32]<@Mulreay> I certainly can't help you though wish I could

[14:38]<@BC_Programming> lol
[14:38]<@BC_Programming> I'll never forget about Koko
[14:38]<@BC_Programming> no matter how I try
[14:38]<@Mulreay> He will be in our hearts
[14:39]<@BC_Programming> whois Koko
[14:39]<@BC_Programming> ignore that
[14:39]<@Mulreay> oops
[14:40]<@BC_Programming> Koko was Mibbit@mib-EA2515BF.dyn.optonline.net * http://www.mibbit.com
[14:40]<@BC_Programming> Koko using irc.uk.mibbit.net Tue Mar 26 20:35:01 2013
[14:40]<@BC_Programming> NEVER FORGET
[14:40]<@Mulreay> heh
[14:41]<@BC_Programming> let it be known that Tuesday march 26th 20:35:01 2013 was the day, the music.... died
[14:41]<@BC_Programming> Bye, bye Mr.Koko guy, I hardly even knew you
[14:41]<@BC_Programming> but you seemed like a good guy
[14:42] * lucifer (lucifer@mib-D4FF3FA5.dsl.bright.net) has joined #glitchpc
[14:42]<@BC_Programming> actually what kind of a name is Koko anyway
[14:42]<@Mulreay> He was god father to my future children.. and they will now have to live without.. CRUEL WORLD
[14:43]<@BC_Programming> I figured it out, clearly, Koko is a advanced primate in a zoo somewhere that escaped his pen and accessed the internet
[14:43]<@BC_Programming> attempting to reach out
[14:43]<@BC_Programming> perhaps even a cyborg Chimpanzee
[14:44]<@BC_Programming> I have my work cut out for me on research
[14:44]<@BC_Programming> http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/company.php
[14:44]<@Mulreay> If it's like the Gorilla from Congo then it can fecking stay there
[14:45]<@BC_Programming> cyborg chimpanzee... chimpanzee terminator
[14:46]<@BC_Programming> When a researcher misspelles ARPANET as APENET, everything goes Bananas
[14:46]<@Mulreay> King Human.. apes trying to make humans look bad and huge that attach bi-planes
[14:47]<@BC_Programming> lol
[14:48]<@BC_Programming> I just got that as the opposite of King Kong
[14:48]<@Mulreay> heh
[14:48]<@BC_Programming> for a bit there I was going "wtf is he on about"
[14:49]<@Mulreay> Yeah sorry it was a little 'out there'
[14:49]<@BC_Programming> they should give bats a drop on minecraft
[14:49]<@BC_Programming> I'm thinking a batwing
[14:49]<@BC_Programming> for potions

[17:04]<@BC_Programming> wb
[17:05]<@Mulreay> and forward.. sometimes left and right
[17:05]<@Mulreay> thx
[17:07]<@BC_Programming> hahaha.... that's a winning quote from the minecraft forums
[17:07]<@BC_Programming> some guy seems to think he's the smartest programmer ever because he learned Java in two hours
[17:09]<@Mulreay> Does he deserve your time?
[17:09]<@BC_Programming> He amuses me
[17:10]<@BC_Programming> "I learned to mod in 2 hours, and learned java in a day by just observing minecraft code.
[17:10]<@BC_Programming> No other programmer I know has done that."
[17:15]<@Mulreay> Is that funny or sad?
[17:15]<@BC_Programming> It's egocentric
[17:16]<@BC_Programming> the kid is probably like 14 and thinks he's some kind of prodigy
[17:17]<@Mulreay> ok
[17:22]<+Tux2> lol...
[17:22]<+Tux2> Should I burst his bubble?
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> oooh here is the best part
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> he calls himself a modder... he has two "mods"... neither of which has a downloadable file
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> both of which are WIP
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> and one of which is over a year old
[17:23]<+Tux2> lol
[17:23]<+Tux2> Link?
[17:23]<+Tux2> To the thread where he says he learned to mod in 2 hours
[17:24]<@BC_Programming> kk
[17:24]<@BC_Programming> http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1735630-the-mod-api-is-a-horrible-idea/ he's the thread starter
[17:24]<@BC_Programming> apparently he thinks forge is awesome and is the best API ever created and Mojang is wasting their time even considering adding an official one
[17:25]<@BC_Programming> oh wait I found a third mod... also incomplete
[17:25]<+Tux2> lol, let me burst his little bubble...
[17:25]<@BC_Programming> seems he get's an idea for a mod, and posts something in the mod forum
[17:26]<@Mulreay> FINALLY found it!!!
[17:26]<@Mulreay> BC_Programming give me a minute
[17:26]<@BC_Programming> I think it's on page 3

[17:51]<+camerongray> What is this....
[17:51]<+camerongray> I just got good advice in CH
[17:52] * @BC_Programming sets mode +b on quassel@mib-86A65942.camerongray.me
[17:52]<+camerongray> hahaha!
[17:52]<@BC_Programming> LIES!
[17:53]<+camerongray> It actually was, to get the smell of smoke out of a laptop, sit it on a dryer sheet
[17:53]<+camerongray> Now it smells cotton fresh
[17:53]<+camerongray> According to the box, it will also make it softer
[18:04]<+Tux2> BC_Programming: you can look at the last page of that thread now to see my opinion
[18:07]<+Tux2> http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1735630-the-mod-api-is-a-horrible-idea/page__st__60#entry21631818
[18:07]<@BC_Programming> nice have some rep
[18:07]<+Tux2> :) Thanks
[18:09]<@BC_Programming> my favourite part about your plugins and mods is that they exist
[18:09]<@BC_Programming> same cannot be said for theirs
[18:10]<+Tux2> lol, right?
[18:11]<+Tux2> I bet a few will look me up and go: "OH MY!!! HIS PROJECTS LIST IS HUGE!!!!"
[18:11]<@BC_Programming> lol
[18:11]<+Tux2> I'm sure you enjoyed my bit of satire in there?
[18:14]<@BC_Programming> heh
[18:17]<@BC_Programming> hmm I think I'll make sure my plugin works on 1.4.7 and work from that
[18:17]<@BC_Programming> only 1.5 specific thing I added was the randomized names so I can always comment that out for now
[18:18]<+camerongray> hey Tux2
[18:20]<+Tux2> Hey camerongray
[18:21]<+Tux2> BC_Programming: Just detect the minecraft version, then only use that code if it is mc version 1.5.1 or up
[18:21]<@BC_Programming> so an unresolved method call wouldn't be an issue?
[18:22]<+Tux2> If it's never called, correct
[18:22]<@BC_Programming> eg. setCustomName() doesn't exist for 1.4.7, if I put that in an appropriate versionified if block, I could still run it on 1.4.7 even if I refer to the current dev 1.5.1... cool
[18:22] * @BC_Programming switches references back and uncomments the code
[18:44]<+camerongray> I'm impressed with the build quality of these DSGi own brand laptops
[18:46]<+camerongray> Although they are basically rebadged, one is Quanta and the other is Uniwil
[18:47]<@BC_Programming> hmm 11 days uptime and my second hard drive has not decided to dissappear and raise a fit
[18:50]<+camerongray> Hmm, now how to get the smell out of the rest of this laptop...
[18:51]<@BC_Programming> hmm I'm pretty sure I recognize some of the names of the other peeps that work there from high school
[18:51]<+camerongray> nice!
[18:52]<+camerongray> Unless you hate them then, damn!
[18:53]<@BC_Programming> heh I don't remember, I don't think so
[18:53]<@BC_Programming> I'd recognize if they were my enemy... though I don't recall many of those
[18:53]<@BC_Programming> perhaps that's because they all mysteriously dissappeared
[18:53]<+camerongray> lol
[18:53]<+camerongray> That's good then
[18:55]<@BC_Programming> I'm googling their names +Nanaimo for relevant hits and I'm not getting much
[18:55]<+camerongray> Facebook?
[18:55]<@BC_Programming> No, I wouldn't be able to get anything that way
[18:55]<+camerongray> ahh
[18:56]<@BC_Programming> I'm researching the company here because I have an interview tomorrow
[18:56]<@BC_Programming> it would help if I knew what it was for, I did apply to like three postings they had... maybe they want to figure that out, lol
[18:56]<+camerongray> Sweet, good luck!
[18:57]<+camerongray> oooh, The previous owner left the plastic over the logo, shiny
[18:57]<@BC_Programming> http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/company/
[18:57]<@BC_Programming> imma google you all!
[18:57]<+camerongray> Even if that logo is the well known brand of "E-System"
[18:58]<@BC_Programming> hmm I wonder if it would be creepy to memorize their names
[18:58]<+camerongray> lol
[18:58]<+camerongray> How many employees are there?
[18:58]<@BC_Programming> looks like ~25 or so
[18:59]<+camerongray> Nice, small companies are great!
[18:59]<+camerongray> You can have a good laugh and know everyone
[18:59]<@BC_Programming> the person I am going to see Carrie Baker on there
[19:00]<@BC_Programming> from what I can t ell she's 44 but she looks way younger
[19:00]<@BC_Programming> and I'm partly saying that in case they see these logs at some point
[19:00]<+camerongray> lol
[19:00]<+Tux2> lol
[19:01]<+camerongray> I better do that too
[19:01]<+camerongray> Lynchpin rule!
[19:01]<+Tux2> I'll be sure to forward the chat logs to them then. ;)
[19:01]<+camerongray> Analytics, woooo!
[19:01]<+camerongray> <3 Sitecatalyst
[19:01]<+camerongray> hmm...
[19:02]<+camerongray> How else can I compliment them...
[19:02]<+camerongray> Finally getting the project I'm developing at work near completion
[19:03]<@BC_Programming> I do mean what I said.... You heard me possible people in the future
[19:03]<+camerongray> hahaha
[19:04]<+camerongray> The managing director the other day said "Oh, I quite like Arch linux" - He is now my hero :P
[19:04]<@BC_Programming> careful he might have thought it was a new macdonalds burger
[19:04]<+camerongray> hahaha
[19:05]<+camerongray> I refrained from asking why we still use UNIX
[19:05]<@BC_Programming> because it works. Though you could apply that logic to chamberpots
[19:06]<+camerongray> lol
[19:06]<+camerongray> They are rock stable though
[19:07]<@BC_Programming> so are chamberpots
[19:07]<+camerongray> That's what I like, it's a small company but been established a long time so it's not like a new startup using all the new stuff that comes along
[19:08]<@BC_Programming> if you follow every trend you're more likely to follow one that fizzles out leaving you in the middle of a technological island
[19:09]<+camerongray> Yeah
[19:10]<+camerongray> We've been around technically since 2001
[19:10]<+camerongray> And in our current form since 2005
[19:10]<+camerongray> Basically started life as an internet marketing company (Still going) but the analytics area grew and spun off into Lynchpin
[19:12]<@BC_Programming> Most of the people with websites own a website that is their name
[19:12]<+camerongray> lol, like me :P
[19:13]<@BC_Programming> true
[19:13]<@BC_Programming> some of them are like invisible ghosts with no web presence... others seem active in communities like StackOverflow
[19:13]<@BC_Programming> then again, it might just be that they use a screenname disconnected from their real name too

[19:15]<+camerongray> What job are you applying for with them?
[19:15]<@BC_Programming> I don't know
[19:15]<+camerongray> lol
[19:15]<@BC_Programming> I applied for Teir 1 Support and Teir 2 Support and a few weeks ago I send one in for MySQL/PHP
[19:15]<+camerongray> Ahh, nice
[19:16]<@BC_Programming> I'm going on the assumption that it's Teir 1 tech support
[19:16]<+camerongray> Ahh
[19:16]<@BC_Programming> of course this isn't the same deal as say tech support with a big company so it doesn't mean the same thing I imagine
[19:16]<+camerongray> yeah
[19:16]<+camerongray> The good thing with small companies, you can do a lot more
[19:16]<+camerongray> Even if you are in support, if you can do the PHP/MySQL they may pull you into that for things
[19:16]<@BC_Programming> OTOH it could very be that they want to decide where to put me if anywhere as well
[19:17]<@BC_Programming> This morning I learned myself some PDO
[19:17]<+camerongray> Like my job, I'm a "Technical Analyst" but this basically came from "What should we put in your email signature"
[19:17]<+camerongray> I do PHP, Postgres, JS, Perl as well as UNIX server stuff and testing
[19:18]<@BC_Programming> I founded this
[19:18]<@BC_Programming> http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/morgan-carey/2297/show/
[19:19]<+camerongray> NICE! That's what I like
[19:20]<+camerongray> You can have fun, like making one of the guys dress up as santa
[19:22]<@BC_Programming> I'm still unclear if this will require any advanced information about real estate
[19:22]<@BC_Programming> I hope Sim-city level experience will suffice
[19:22]<+camerongray> lol, probably not much
[19:22]<+camerongray> Just knowledge of terminology - "I want you to add a picture of the *fancy term here*"
[19:23]<@BC_Programming> hmm I imagine they need peeps for stuff like Photoshop too
[19:23]<+camerongray> yeah
[19:23]<@BC_Programming> I almost said Phootoshop not sure what that is
[19:25]<+camerongray> hehehe
[19:26]<@BC_Programming> hmm actually perhaps I can gander at some of the example sites derpa
[19:26]<+camerongray> good idea
[19:27]<@BC_Programming> what is "suckerfish"

[19:32]<lucifer> My dad wants me to go into the sound field like recording studio type stuff :/
[19:32]<+camerongray> hmm
[19:33]<+camerongray> I don't know where my parents wanted me to go into :P
[19:33]<+camerongray> SInce I started on computers from a very young age
[19:34]<@BC_Programming> hmm I should probably post a news entry on my site since I release a new version of BASeBlock
[19:34]<@BC_Programming> but that sounds like work
[19:39]<lucifer> I started on computer at a young age also camerongray it's just that my dad hates the thought of me working on computers all my life
[19:39]<+camerongray> Ahh
[19:40]<+camerongray> I'd say do what you enjoy rather than what others want you to do
[19:40]<+camerongray> I love my job
[19:40]<@BC_Programming> then tell him you want to be a ballerina
[19:40]<lucifer> Bc lol
[19:40]<lucifer> camerongray I agree with you
[19:40]<+camerongray> Explain that it is a growing industry
[19:41]<+camerongray> And that it's not just working with computers, you can get into pretty cool areas
[19:41]<lucifer> I've tried
[19:41]<lucifer> He's more if the stone age type person
[19:41]<+camerongray> Like the 3rd year project at uni that involves training a small robot to play football (soccer)
[19:42]<@BC_Programming> my step-dad is kind of like that too
[19:42]<+camerongray> I see what you mean
[19:42]<@BC_Programming> but I think it's more that, "if he doesn't understand it, it must be useless"
[19:42]<+camerongray> Just explain that you don't HAVE to sit in front of a screen
[19:42]<lucifer> The school I'll be going to (technical school) has one of those robots camerongray
[19:42]<+camerongray> Ahh, these are little wheely things
[19:43]<@BC_Programming> he also seems to think that you can write a cheque on anything, which sort of skirts the fact that anybody else could easily write a check in your name
[19:43]<+camerongray> But there are lots and different teams compete
[19:43]<+camerongray> It's weird how social I find computer people to be
[19:43]<lucifer> We are often thought to be loners but in reality were a tight knit bunch :p
[19:43]<+camerongray> I think it's a case that if you put a lot of computer people together it's a case of "they understand me"
[19:44]<+camerongray> Yeah
[19:44]<+camerongray> Although it was funny at the informatics ceilidh that had a rather unfortunate weighting of male to female
[19:45]<+camerongray> But people are very sociable
[19:45]<+camerongray> Like the computer society
[19:45]<@BC_Programming> I always forget that the stereotypical computer person is often on the heavier end for obvious reasons
[19:45]<+camerongray> lol,not me!
[19:45]<lucifer> My technical school for network systems (computer course without graphic design except 3d modeling) has only 2 females and the rest are guys
[19:46]<@BC_Programming> I've had people on forums imply that I was fat.... which is hilarious
[19:46]<+camerongray> Yeah, I'm a stickman
[19:46]<lucifer> I'm average
[19:47]<@BC_Programming> I have 99 problems but being overweight isn't one of them

[19:48]<+camerongray> I remember phoning in the measurements I'd taken for my kilt - "So waist is x and length is x" "You do realise it's from naval level" "yeah" "are you sure?"
[19:48]<@BC_Programming> lol
[19:48]<lucifer> Bc :p one of the problems is the minecraft update
[19:49]<@BC_Programming> how so?
[19:49]<lucifer> Recode stuff :p
[19:49]<@BC_Programming> not really
[19:50]<@BC_Programming> the Bukkit API is forward compatible, I could just code against 1.4.7 and it would work in future versions.
[19:50]<+camerongray> I'm ridiculously light, I've sometimes had issues trying to lower chairs :P
[19:50]<@BC_Programming> haha
[19:50]<+camerongray> And I'm also tall enough to smash my head in stupid places
[19:51]<@BC_Programming> have to tie yourself down to prevent getting lost to a gust of wind
[19:51]<+camerongray> lol, I have almost been blown over before
[19:51]<+camerongray> And I was knocked over by a jack russel
[19:51]<+camerongray> There's a bit on the stairs at uni that is REALLY low - there are head prints in the wall
[19:51]<@BC_Programming> I hate that guy always pushing people over
[19:51]<+camerongray> hehehe
[19:57]<lucifer> The worse thing for me is wind ...
[19:58]<lucifer> I have to wait 20 minutes in the morning for my bus and the wind just rips though me
[20:21]<@BC_Programming> hmm now to figure out how to get there by bus
[20:21]<@BC_Programming> stupid buses suck here
[20:22]<@BC_Programming> Why the heck is THIS in wikipedia
[20:22]<@BC_Programming> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanaimo_Regional_Transit_System
[20:23]<@BC_Programming> seems if I take any bus going south on the street I'm on I'll eventually get to Prideaux Transit Exchange
[20:24]<@BC_Programming> then it's only a 1KM walk rather than an 10KM walk which would be less desirable
[20:25]<@BC_Programming> oooh I had an idea
[20:25]<lucifer> 10 k is 6.2 miles

[20:27]<@BC_Programming> hmm I'm terrible at time and being late is the worst thing I can imagine so I usually leave way to early

[20:27]<lucifer> Bc I've ran a 5k in 30 minutes
[20:28]<@BC_Programming> That's wonderful. Now tell me another lie
[20:29]<lucifer> Not lying
[20:30]<@BC_Programming> if you ran you ran hella-slow
[20:31]<@BC_Programming> 10km/h
[20:31]<lucifer> It's about right on time
[20:32]<@BC_Programming> turns out I had the address wrong, full distance from here to REW would be around 15K. Bus takes it down to 1K of walking
[20:32]<@BC_Programming> and of course I'm not exactly "running" either
[20:32]<lucifer> I was forced to run it for school so I did t care on time

[20:34]<@BC_Programming> it's fun to drag the little destination pointer around and watch it calculate new paths
[20:34]<lucifer> Lol
[20:35]<@BC_Programming> I put two cursors about 500m away on a road and apparently the best way involves going through the downtown core, 10km away first
