August 10th, 2013, 07:02 AM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> Tonight has been... interesting. *goes to find some alcohol, gonna need it* (…)
August 10th, 2013, 06:18 AM Actions…Arantor » I don't know how to deal with what's going on right now. (…)
August 9th, 2013, 11:56 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> Yeah, looks like $row === false was only in there, and I think it's unlikely another variable name would be used *at the same time* as a different detection mechanism, so... We should be safe for now, I guess..! (…)
August 9th, 2013, 05:48 AM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> And another one down. I should do this more often.
August 9th, 2013, 05:34 AM Actions…Arantor » I find it strangely satisfying to fix bugs in SimpleDesk. (…)
August 8th, 2013, 11:32 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> I'd rather not modify the base function for what seems like an edge case.
August 8th, 2013, 11:28 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> So, again, how often do we actually do that? The SSI instance is only the first time I can remember us doing it. (…)
August 8th, 2013, 11:12 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> Sure, but the #1 issue is that a === false test is going to generate a lot of unexpected bugs; honestly, if I hadn't tested ssi_examples, I wouldn't have found out about the poll bug, and it'd have been nasty later on... :-/ (…)
August 8th, 2013, 08:57 PM Actions…Arantor » Yay for random and totally unexpected vulnerability vectors.
August 8th, 2013, 10:38 AM Actions…Nao » "You think I'm so petty I need the last word? (silence) Ow." (in Risen 2) -- That's the second-best video game final line I've ever seen!
August 7th, 2013, 02:11 AM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> Also, regarding MySQLi, how often do we test explicitly for null returns in fetch_assoc? Pretty much every time it's either a while() or explicitly testing num_rows() before returning. (…)
August 7th, 2013, 02:11 AM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> I'm not going to be looking at them any time soon, sine all the rest are really nasty ones; I just did the ones that seemed most critical and that didn't require lots of extra work. (…)
August 6th, 2013, 11:58 PM Actions…Nao » Pete, are you doing the rest of the ~e replacements, now or in the near future..? Just want to avoid any clashes in case I decide to work on them... (…)
August 6th, 2013, 11:21 PM Actions…Nao » I've only made a half-commit tonight for the logo stuff; specifically, I didn't move the logo URL stuff to main settings, because I don't get the logic between offering a logo, but NOT in the #wedgelogo / #logo div... To me, this screams for a change...
August 6th, 2013, 12:33 AM Actions…godboko71 » @godboko71> Those evil bad people only do bad (yep they all do bad, however at least some have the desensy to be good at the core business they offer.)
August 6th, 2013, 12:31 AM Actions…godboko71 » @godboko71> Remember no sleep and I admitted it was bad ;)
August 6th, 2013, 12:17 AM Actions…Arantor » @godboko71> But you see, if Google were to do it, it would be using their dominant market position and thus falling foul of antitrust legislation. Never mind that no-one else is a major player because they're all crap.
August 6th, 2013, 12:16 AM Actions…Arantor » @godboko71> You mean it's like having 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife? (i.e. Alanis, or her songwriter, doesn't understand irony)
August 5th, 2013, 11:13 PM Actions…godboko71 » @Arantor> Kind of ironic really  don't ya think (bad some lyric pun or what ever word I am looking for) (…)
August 5th, 2013, 11:11 PM Actions…godboko71 » @Arantor> Same here, to be honest its pretty close 40% of the time if its non technical. I don't dislike bing, the product. I am annoyed by Bing the US marketing efforts. If Google where to have as misleading of ads on TV they would be smacked with a big ol fine... (…)
