Off-topic / Re: What's your development setup?
« on December 17th, 2011, 05:28 PM »
My main development at present is a patchwork PC with Windows 7, Notepad++, TortoiseSVN hooked up to my RepositoryHosting account, running WampServer.
For the stuff I've been doing lately with Impact, Notepad++ for coding, Weltmeister (part of Impact) for layout design, and iOSImpact (which is essentially an uber-minimal Canvas+JS framework bridge for binding Canvas elements into something that can run, rather fast, on iOS devices)

I like the fonts used in the last few - but I don't have anything specific to add. I'm just not that hot on typography :/

"This is the tomb of Rassilon, where Rassilon lies in eternal sleep. Anyone who has got this far has passed a number of dangers and has showed great courage and determination. To lose is to win and he who wins shall lose. Anyone who takes the ring from Rassilon’s hand and puts it on shall get the reward he seeks."
The reward is immortality, but immortality is a curse, not a blessing, to be forever and unchanging - you just perpetuate everything instead of bringing something new. See both The Five Doctors and The Brain of Morbius.

Or worse, a single man being threatened with NOT dying. Forever.

I still need to write a UI for managing board access too...

His development was primarily upping the angst each episode. :P
I'm curious to see what Moffat will do next, too.

Yup, because I figure people will make tables in phpMyAdmin, and this just allows for easy porting to the plugin system.

Plugins / Table helper
« on December 16th, 2011, 03:02 PM »
Something that I need to write sometime: a plugin that queries the tables, lets users pick a table (or tables), and it should output the XML that the plugin-info.xml file uses.
Doesn't need to be pretty but it would be a useful plugin builder tool.

Oh, of course he will, but it won't stop the haters who want RTD style character development.

Not really a surprise, not only does season 6 pretty much indicate that we're going to be leaving the Ponds behind anyway, it wasn't ever going to be a surprise to note that River was going to be back again - since we still haven't seen probably the most poignant scene of theirs yet.
(click to show/hide)
Where, as River explains, he took her to the singing towers of Darillium, and he cried, before giving her his screwdriver, because he knew it was time. Time to go to the Library.

Almost certainly. Then again, this is Russell T Davies we're talking about...

Aside from the fact it wasn't the best writing in the world and that it was about 1/3 too long, Trial was a pretty neat idea and story. Also, it will be interesting if the Dream Lord makes another appearance, as that definitely reminded me of the Valeyard. IMO, it was very indirectly implied in the hotel episode in season 6 that's who's in room 11...

He told someobe in SJA that it was something like 507 times, but we know Rule 1: the Doctor lies.
Yup, the final regeneration is supposed to be evil, cf. The Trial of a Time Lord series but it's not entirely clear how that will work going forward...

I have no idea why categories were a valid target since you couldn't really go to them before. Now, of course, you can go to a category on its own page and make some sense of it, so it strikes me that it would be viable to be a target. That said, it would be more logical as an optgroup and if you want to go up to the category you probably wouldn't use it anyway, so go nuts.

Ah, see, we don't watch SJA much... but its canonicity is unclear too seeing how the Doctor once said to Clyde that he could regenerate over 500 times.
