Wedge

14 years. It was due out in May but there was a last minute delay; worldwide release is scheduled for early June.

I like coding more. And from experience, fragmenting it like that is not a smart move.

You can't have it both ways, it's either customisable or it's fast. We're choosing customisable.

Go spam sm.org then :P

I'm suggesting we stop farting about arguing with them about their apparent rules for signatures, that we stop trying to take the battle to their doorstep, when we can't fight them on their turf. Were the situations reversed, we wouldn't accept a link like that, and they couldn't fight us on our turf under those circumstances.

So, instead of wasting any more time trying to argue the point, let's instead concentrate on making Wedge as awesome as possible, then migrate our sites to it - and then we can link those in our signatures, competing on a level playing field, so people have the choice themselves what they do.

No, here's still 999 (and 112) for emergency numbers. 118* numbers here are for directory enquiries (it used to be just 192, but it's now out to different companies, of which 118-118 is probably the most successful with their gimmicky marketing)

Wasn't even talking about you. I was referring to JaZz who by the now-deleted posts seems to misunderstand what a portal is for, which doesn't strike me as a good foundation for developing one.No, just belittling me and telling me you're 'glad to have taught me something', 'not surprised I set up a ranting site', and the comment about you used to listen to what I said but that I'm basically talking rubbish these days. If I tell you something and tell you that I'm glad to have taught you because I thought you knew it already, that IS an insult, however you spin it.

Apparently you don't know the difference between empty and in_array if you think they can do the same job - under some circumstances, they can, but it requires that you set things up right. Most of the time they don't, which means you're faffing about with array_flip and array_keys, which isn't always practical, like I mentioned.There was no confrontation between me and live, 'confrontation' implies that there was a disagreement. I voiced the notion that we could look at its code and see if there was anything useful that could be used, in accordance with the BSD licence, which would mean keeping credits and attribution and copyrights where appropriate. It never got beyond a hypothetical, I never even started looking at DP's code after that point. Then it was relayed back to you guys, and you took umbridge that we were even considering it.No-one's asking you to hunt down these topics. Notice that when you suggested you and I could go through it post by post, I didn't bother to reply, because I knew it would only be wasting my time.

Thing is, I do have responsibilities. I spend my time coding when not performing those responsibilities. Some of my responsibilities ARE coding. And in so doing, I am required to document my code. Thing is, a lot of the time, documentation should be written while the code is written, incorrect documentation is worse than no documentation, so keep it up to date as you change the code. Then it's done, and scores of people that follow you can make use of it.

Interesting point: Chris was the first person to ask me what SimpleDesk's equivalent of an SMF function was. Since I'd already documented it, I was able to point him in the direction of the documentation and not have to get into pointing him to the function and having to answer any questions about what it does.

I was unwilling to help you after it was made clear that DP wasn't interested in what I had to say. A project that thought attaching files to a thread was a good revision system, for example. Well, consider that with revision control you don't only get a log of what's physically changed, but you can denote in the commit note why you changed it - there's documentation right there! Do it as you go along.


Oh, and just in closing, you talked about negativity. Except that you started out here with a negative view because things are now out of their original context. Everything that started in that 3 page argument was because you took a single comment of mine out of context because it disagreed with your view. Who's being negative now?

Yeah, except we're the high school team that's going to kick their asses ;)
