You can't access the Wedge Downloads album, or the media gallery entirely..?

Who can, and who cannot?
Oh, really, I would rather have had bug reports about Wedge than about the permission system in wedge.org... :P

! Fixed thought system getting broken when using the keyboard. Note to self: using a type=submit and a return false in its handler is critical to correct keyboard implementations. (script.js)

* Moved all other/ files intended to be at the root, in a root/ folder. This should clear up some of the confusion... Hopefully. And help me release a private alpha in less than 20 minutes. (other/, root/*)

! Fixed linktree padding in Warm. (Warm/extra.css)

+ Initial changelog placeholder. (root/changelog.txt)

9 = kyû in Japanese. Which is a homonym of 'suffering'.
I'm not making this up, the Japanese are often superstitious about numbers 4 and 9 ;)
(4 being pronounced 'shi', as in 'death'.)

Nah, I'm releasing in a few hours really... It'll be fun. I'm sure everyone will behave! And have fun, too.
See you tomorrow.

Okay... I'll be honest with you guys.

- It's 1:30am here in Paris. I'm exhausted. I wake up every morning at 6:30am so it's not going to be easy tomorrow...
- I'm done with the alpha. I think it's pretty much ready for release.
- But I don't want to release something that I've completed while very tired, then go to bed, then wake up in the morning to discover a disaster.
- I really, REALLY wanted to release today. I mean it's October 31st and tomorrow is November and I hate November. The name sucks and it makes me think of really cold days. I'm a bit superstitious.
- Still, I did finish it on October 31st...[1]
- So, let's just say the changelog will start with "Private alpha 0.1 - October 31st", all right guys? :P

To sum it up:
- I've got a version I'm relatively happy with (relatively isn't great, but to me it's good enough for a release considering I spent the last few weeks hiding behind my keyboard.)
- I'll release it tomorrow morning.
- That way, I'll be able to assist with any issues while I'm at it.

Everyone fine with that? Click the Like button if you're ready to test tomorrow :P
 1. I'm on the American timezone today. Got too many annoying kids knocking at my door asking for friggin' sweets. Without any costumes. Yeah, the French imported that silly US/Irish tradition, and yet the kids only see the 'sweets' part and don't want to waste time on costumes. I hate Halloween. The only good thing to come out of it was the Nightmare before Christmas.

rev 1758
(2 files, 1kb)

! Fixed ask() and say() not working correctly when providing just a callback function. (script.js)

! Doing an extra test on $_SERVER['REQUEST_URL']. It should NOT be needed... But I noticed an undefined index error in my log. Let's just say it's a free extra test anyway. (Subs-Template.php)

! Last-minute typo. © 2012 Nao/Gilles. (index.template.php)

rev 1756 -- hopefully Private Alpha material!! :)
(7 files +2-4, 12kb)

* Now showing user status box instead of online button in PM user boxes. Wouldn't have been as easy without Wedge's skeleton system... :) (PersonalMessage.php, PersonalMessage.template.php)

* Many CSS tweaks.
  * Header font is now Segoe UI Light by default. What do you know. I just like it. To hell if it doesn't look great on older browsers. Use a nice one. (common.css)
  - Warm posts now use Tahoma by default, and Segoe UI in italic and bold modes (Tahoma only has the dull straight version). Also fixed padding above footer in responsive mode. (Warm/extra.css)
  - Removed unused ID from Wuthering, fixed popup alignment (due to the body being centered), fixed overflow issues. (Wuthering/extra.css)
  ! A few browser specific fixes. (Wine/extra.css)
  @ IE 6/7 are still broken in many areas... I think. They'll be fixed for the public alpha or something, I guess. Why do I no longer care these days..?

* Removed minilogo and minilogow (not used anywhere..?), replaced webelow and webelowine with wefoot1 and wefoot2 (slightly improved versions of the footer logos.) (images/*.png)

* Shortened PM popup code (in index template) by two bytes. Well, say() no longer needs an event object to be specified when you include a callback... (index.template.php)

* Tweaked index template to keep it from outputting wedge.org-specific data on non-worg websites. It's a hack, but you understand we're going to move that code over to a plugin anyway...? Eventually. Peeeete? Can you help? (index.template.php)

rev 1755
(5 files, 3kb)

! Undefined gender would appear as female in the user status box. (Display.template.php)

! Fixed moderators not getting the proper IP tracking link in the user mini-menus. (Display.php)

! Wess is a bit lazy when it comes to parenthesis matching in math() formulas. So, something like (math(...)) would fail. I hacked a half-arsed solution by offering the ability to surround the function in quotes to remove the ambiguity, i.e. ("math(...)"), so if you ever get a parsing error, just add the damn quotes. Sorry about that... (Class-CSS.php)

! Preventing overflows around generic button strips. Well -- it happens, so I'm simply extending .clearfix into the containers. (sections.css, Reports.template.php)

- Just want to reiterate that the private alpha is only meant to be for a short time. Well, 'short' may be relative just as I planned to release Wedge back in 2011 (I'm too old for this shit™), but really the goal is to make sure that most people will be able to install it without trouble and play with it immediately.

- And, my plans were to go for an October release, it's REALLY going to be hard to release it tonight, but I guess it's doable... I mean, I can always release a second alpha this weekend, etc, etc. I don't know about Pete's plans to release his fixes for his areas of expertise (admin panel mostly).

rev 1754
(11 files, 6kb)

+ Implemented say() (replacement for alert()), and modified it to be closer in spirit to ask()... It'll do the same internally, just not showing the extra button. This allowed me to use it in Post pages when submitting a message that's going to be moderated. Also, post.js shows an example of a say() call that requires executing some code after it (in the callback), but has no need to give a boolean return (thus, no event handler is passed to it). (script.js)

* Converted all alerts to say(). Well, easier said than done... I've left one alone (in the spellchecker) because I can't be arsed to determine whether it would work. And I don't use the spellchecker anyway. Do you? (ManageBans.template.php, ManagePermissions.template.php, ManageSearch.template.php, Post.template.php, Profile.template.php, Register.template.php, editor.js, post.js, up.js)

- These JS-oriented strings no longer need HTML entities... Well, easier said than done: who's willing to have a look and change them all, while ensuring they won't be used in e-mails...? Nope? Okay, I'll just forget about them for now... (Post.french.php)

rev 1753
(30 files, 11kb)

* Last batch of confirm() to ask() rewrites. I didn't think I could pull it off, but all of the confirm calls are now using ask(). Yay. (Class-Editor.php, Display.php, Groups.php, ManageAttachments.php, ManageBoards.php, ManageMembers.php, ManagePaid.php, ManageSmileys.php, mediadmin.js, topic.js, TEMPLATES: Admin, index, ManageAttachments, ManageBans, ManageMaintenance, ManageMedia, ManageMembergroups, ManageMembers, ManageNews, ManagePermissions, ManageSearch, Media, MessageIndex, ModerationCenter, MoveTopic, Packages, PersonalMessage, Profile, Search, Themes)

! SMF bug: there's a confirm box in template_modify_language_entries that actually doesn't do anything because of the lack of a return statement. (Admin.template.php)

* Shortened thought JS code. Not by much, but it's on every page for members... I like saving bandwidth. (index.template.php)

@ The ask() callback is only used once: in the PM popup code (index template). Is it worth keeping it..?

@ Simplified JS code in MembersAwaitingActivation. Would appreciate if beta testers could look into it and see whether the confirm box still works as expected. (ManageMembers.php)

NOTE: I'm hoping to be able to release the private alpha by tonight... Scary!! ;)

Nexus S, but its kinda old although its a Nexus and can easily run Jelly Bean.
But it's 800x480, innit...? 233 ppi. Not very good. I doubt it would give me the same 'wow' factor as when I first got my iPod Touch 4.
Definitely no wow factor, but today I had the opportunity to quickly try a Sony Xperia Arc S.
Has a 854x480 4.2'' screen and is 6.3cm in width. This is *exactly* the right width for my hand. I also tried a (fake) Xperia S and it's a couple of millimeters larger, and it felt a tad awkward. Then I tried a (fake) S3 again and it sucked even more. Which is too bad, because the S3 really is my dream phone, from start to finish...

Anyway, here's the new thing: not only was the Arc S the 'perfect size' for me, but its size and ppi (around 233) were good enough to be usable for me. I realize it's not as sharp as my iPod, but it makes a smart use of subpixels to make it very hard to distinguish the pixels in text mode. I had to get closer to the screen to distinguish them. So... Yeah, I guess it's usable, and that it doesn't matter that the resolution is smaller than my iPod.

I still need the phone to have a removable battery, and for that reason the Xperia devices are a no-no to me. Too bad, I really, really liked the TouchWiz interface... :edit: Meant Timescape. TouchWiz is Samsung's. Not too shabby either.

Any thoughts anyone..?
