Research Triangle Park

Research Triangle Park (RTP) is the largest research park in the United States. It is located near Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill, in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. A small part of the Park stretches into Wake County, but the majority of the land is in Durham County. Overview It is one of the most prominent high-tech research and development centers in the United States and is often compared to Silicon Valley.

@MarcGravell, subtle regex bug?

Marc Gravell

no; more than that - the wiki data has missing elements. Needed to add a number of skip/fallback checks

balpha

and it just had to be the RTP -- I lived around there for a year

I should try wikipedia articles for all places I've ever been

the text on the red buttons (transcript etc) are slightly hard to read...

Idea float: In the other rooms you're in box, what about adding a link in the open space in the upper left that would show a container that lists all rooms, but not with all the extra information of the All Rooms new-tab link, but just something that lets you see rooms and quick switch to them?

balpha

I liked your comment here:

Q: "All rooms" link should open in the same tab

When in a chatroom, the all rooms button opens in a new tab. This is annoying, as I can always open a link in a new tab but opening one it the same one is harder. Would it be possible to change this?

rchern

Ah, forgot about that.

wait, that was only yesterday?

oy.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I pretty much keep the all rooms tab open (yay tabs! >_>) just to answer the question hmm, wonder if there's a new room i should join

There's a lot that could follow that train of though. Does viewing edit history really need a new tab or would a popup container suffice?

Problem report: I can't set the hour and minute for events

I'm trying to add a "Web Apps Evaluation" event for today at UTC 7pm, but the event is actually scheduled for UTC midnight

balpha

browser?

radp

Chromium nightly

I can try whatever version of Firefox Ubuntu ships with

Relevant chat info page

balpha

does it work if you type the time manually, instead of using the time picker dropdown?

radp

Oops! Something Bad Happened!

I get a lolcat when trying to schedule at 7/10/10 19:01

prolly because I should've used 2010/10/07

balpha

yep

radp

17:03

with the correct date format, it still is scheduled at 12:00 AM instead of 19:01

balpha

yep, same here

going to investigate

rchern

You're scheduling an evaluation? (;

radp

@rchern @rchern No, but I want to put that in the chat.MSO page so that the bar is actually useful for something that isn't the completely arbitrary "happy hour" event du jour

balpha

fix is underway

rchern

Hahaha

balpha

17:17

it's actually saved correctly, just displayed wrongly

radp

Kewl.

rchern

Why not just ask for that event to be removed? (;

status-feature-request

balpha

that looks better

radp

indeed it does, thanks @balpha

also, the sorting order needs to be inverted :)

@TheUnhandledException you like to crosspost, don't you?

@balpha @balpha I do! Not normally, but it's your oneboxing that drives my love of crossposting :-)

HA! Oneboxing just got even MOAR BETTER!

@balpha @balpha In all seriousness, you're right, I overuse it. I will stop doing that

I'm surprised that worked. Nice

should I report bugs in here?

rchern

nah, just squish them and toss them in the trash. or take it outside.

The Unhandled Exception

Don't listen to her @Cawas :-)

rchern

(yes, you can report them here or on meta tagged [chat])

Cawas

i squished them, but they stole my wallet so I want to report just in case.

Michael Mrozek

@Cawas @Cawas If they're chat bugs you can. If not you probably want to post on MSO (and you can do that anyway, if you want, there's a chat tag)

so, there was I, spamming my useless messages and I got this "unknown error" with the usual "retry" message that I use to get on some connection failure (which I think yelds a different error message)...

and as soon as I clicked "retry" the whole message dissapared even from the up arrow.

no idea how to replicate it! :(

@Michael Mrozek @MichaelMrozek ok, I'll do both then :)

The Unhandled Exception

@Cawas @Cawas You can post the link to the meta question here. @balpha loves crossposting ;-)

balpha

well, if you have no idea how to reproduce it, it's pretty hard for us as well :) so be sure to include as much details as possible

Oh, and when I pull my wifi cable out of my esata port halfway through generating the flair and at the same time dance the Ententanz, I get a weird error message from Farmville. Please fix that.

@The Unhandled Exception @TheUnhandledException Im just trying to add a screenshot now and having issues with google's plugin, otherwise it'd be posted already

@balpha @balpha i could find two good indicators, so if you/they have logs for it, maybe there's some info there.
