It's not only that "con" implies "crook", it's mostly that in French, it directly means "jerk". It's the French word for jerk. I think it has the same roots as 'c*nt' in English. (I'm being nice with the censoring because we're in a public area :P)
What is Dogbert? A spin-off of Dilbert? :P
I like the word Consultant. My girlfriend is a consultant. The 'consulting developer' position was created just for me at SM.org... I like the word, I'd use it for myself if I wasn't 50% of the boss entity :lol:
And I think that if John hadn't liked it a year and a half ago, he would have said it, wouldn't he...?

Nope, it doesn't.
Yes, do yourself the pleasure of archiving it ;)
(Wondering whether we really need to use the 'Fixed' prefix in subjects... There's already the board name...)

Features / Re: Pretty URLs things
« on March 29th, 2012, 11:55 AM »Also, should category URLs (e.g. wedge.org/category/x/) be pretiffied with the category name?
Or, for that matter, media items? I think it would be pretty neat to offer it, even if it's off by default.
Are you suggesting that we put non-topic URL information into a new table where any kind of data could be stored, i.e. helpful for plugins too? :P (Or am I :lol:)
PS: I'm thinking of tags, too... Although they're not implemented in Wedge for now, they can be seen in action at Noisen.com, and they work great. Especially on blogs really. Like this one.

Off-topic / Re: Hackers could decapitate the internet soon

That couldn't happen anyway. Worst that could happen if the top-level DNS servers went down? The low-level servers just would keep their 'old' copy of DNS records, and would supply requests with that.... i.e., the only sites that would truly break are those that change their IP on that day.
It's easy to scare people away when you're a journalist. But it's even easier to just ask around. Of course, it's also less lucrative...

Oh, sorry, I forgot to fix this one in one of my commits... Although any plugin-related code is better handled by Pete ;)

The redirection should be immediate, actually..? The only 'loading' you should get is the one when it loads the board list (i.e. when you click the Quick access select box itself.)

« on March 29th, 2012, 11:31 AM »Where's the "PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PICK ONE ALREADY" option in that poll? :eheh:
Nah, seriously, the logo is chosen, it's the one you voted for BTW, although technically I'm free to use any variation on it as the environment requires (e.g. the plain logo doesn't "work" on a dark background, so I have variations for that.)
I even re-did the Facebook page with the new logo (and a cover based on the current banner here), you'll see that tomorrow because I won't switch the page to Timeline myself, they'll have to force me into that (which they'll do... tomorrow. Which is why I added the cover photo. Anyway.)
And then I was looking at the archives, and I thought to myself, oh the old big logo that was in the Wedge sidebar before the switch for so many weeks, it looks really great on the Facebook page... :lol: But well, yeah, I can't have everything, ah ah. The current logo is really the best I've done, after all this time.

Consult-ant. Does that emphasise a crook?

Follow up to -- http://wedge.org/pub/6271/logo-madness/msg276613/#msg276613
(Splitting the topic because it evolved into a heated discussion with Bloc.)
Okay... Are you implying you're leaving for now, or leaving forever? I'm quite weary after all of the Bloc stories. (And you know how ridiculous it became after a while.)
*WHAT is it* with saying things like that every time someone challenges your thoughts?
Seriously. Get over it, guys. Pete is harsh, and I'm harsh. If we'd been "outta here" every time Pete or I refuted each other's arguments, I think that Wedge would have been abandoned 20 times over!
If I can't tell people what I think, then should I stop speaking at all??
This isn't what a "forum" is for. A forum is for talking. If you can't talk for fear of driving people into leaving, then you don't use the forum any longer.
If you think I'm too harsh, then say it clearly.
Anyway. Let me explain again, now that I'm on my PC... I settled for 'Consul-tant' even though it had more black letters than 'Wedge-ward'. It may not be obvious, but in my mind, the more black letters, the 'higher' the rank. I gave up on this concept to please you because you complained about the 'Co' thing and I couldn't find myself to go for Con or Cons. And 'Consu' could be seen as 'Consumate' or 'Consumer', which doesn't carry a nice meaning either way. So I went for 'Consul' which is basically an ambassador (for Wedge), and look at you -- getting pissed off because I'm asking you WHY it's STILL not good enough for you.
If you don't like your badge, I can remove it if you want. It's just a matter of putting your Consultant group as Additional instead of Primary group.

Just saying I don't see why you desperately want to be seen as a crook more than as a representative entity of Wedge :P

When I think of consul, I think of The Consul -- a great character from the Hyperion series of books.
When I think of con/cons, I think of small time crooks.
Did you get bitten by an ambassador's dog or something in your childhood?

Yes but right now I'm not in the mood to ask for money... ;)
Even donations.
Pete, if by preparse you mostly mean the URL tag bug, I just want to say that I'll be working on it today...
Well, try to at least.

Yay! The composer for Sajnt Seiya Omega, according to my research, maybe very well be Kenji Hiramatsu!
He's responsible for some of the best tracks in the Xenoblade game!
it was my number one concern. Having a composer that could peacefully succeed the aging Seiji Yokoyama, the greatest living soundtrack author.
