Btw I've fixed the skeleton stuff. Took me a day because of a STUPID mistake (I'd removed a & where I shouldn't have.)
RemoveLayer was broken too btw.

1. Start from the start of the reboot. Not really recommended unless you have a lot of spare time.
Oh, that's something I definitely should do again... Only watched most episodes once.
You know, I knew next to nothing about DW when the first season was released on DVD in France. The show made a great job of making it easier for newbies to jump right in. I filled in the rest with Wikipedia & co.

3. Alternatively, watch The Girl in the Fireplace from series 2. It's much more Doctor orientated, but it's also a lot more typical of DW episodes.
Actually, I think I missed two episodes from the show -- an episode with cat women on New New York, and The Girl From the Fireplace. And yes, I know it was written by Moffat... :P I definitely should take some time to watch it (or re-watch it, in case I simply forgot about it.)

@Nao: Yes, yes it was. I blame RTD! :P But we weren't watching for that, were we? We were watching for the knocking four times, and waiting for the inevitable.
I watched the episode because, well... I'm watching every single episode, obviously.
But even with the ridiculous plot, it was fantastic to see John Simm again. I just love the guy so much... I think I could watch him on Countdown and still be in awe. I'm sure he'd end up finding a 9-letter word with a Q, a K and a Z.

Jogging is harsh :/
I can breathe and everything, even though I'm a smoker, but the first things to fail me in my body are always the collateral ligaments in my left knee (followed by the right knee a few minutes later.)
I've always had weak knees but my girlfriend won't listen to me... She insisted we run for an hour, even when it was the first time we'd been jogging in years. Yeah sure...

Anyway-- that's life. I'm pretty messed up today. My health has been worsening ever since I started work on Wedge. Wondering how I'm going to cope after we go live...

Anything in particular you'd like me to look over in r1049 since you flagged it as wanting feedback?
It was mainly about the new icons in the moderation strip. I took classic SMF icons and made them smaller, but I hesitate between keeping them this way, or making them grayscale. Also, would possibly be better to use another icon set... Maybe the very small ones. Diagona or another.

The "multiplied" Master story plot was pretty ridiculous.
The best episode to watch for Doctor Who newbies is definitely Blink (season 3). I showed it to a friend and he was hooked. The good point in that episode is that, not only is it simply fantastic and very original, we barely see the Doctor in it -- we mainly follow a character who's *introduced* to the Doctor, what he is and what he does. It gives a sense of mystery to the character that encourages people to watch more, to learn more about him.

Definitely watch Blink, and try not blinking during the episode.

I got to watch the awesome DW finale which was the most important part of the day... :)
And NOT Merlin? :lol:

(What? I love that show, too. It's campy and cheesy but Kaamelott won't be back until 2014 or something so might as well get a suitable replacement for Arthurian legends... :P)

Series is used for 'seasons' in British shows (at least). So the season that just ended was series 6.

Loved the last episode. Didn't get all of it upon viewing, but the TARDIS wiki page about River Song was helpful (it has a chronology of her adventures in her point of view.)

(click to show/hide)
I'm not exactly sure, though, whether the last we see of River is after the Time of Angels double-episode, or *during* it... (And if 'during', when exactly?!)
Technically this has to be her *oldest* self so far, apart from the Library episodes, of course.

It's interesting that it's pretty much implied, given that Amy will be in S7, that everyone will be, including River, and hopefully she'll be there in a more casual capacity, rather than an arc mystery... Enough of seeing her in double episodes :P

Heck, why the hell did they get married BTW..? Not that it's not cool. It just doesn't make sense in the continuity etc. I don't even remember the Doctor saying her he loved her...
And why does time resume when she touches him, when it... shouldn't?

That's the thing. It checks for urls first. Meaning this is never a real problem.

Holy fuck I'm stuck to bed for now. My legs hurt horribly after a ridiculous attempt to ahem, jog...

Also note that $admin_areas is now a global, so the admin menu hook doesn't need to specify it as a param.
Why? It wasn't part of $context originally for a reason: security. The only way it could be modified was through the defined hook, because as soon as it's been back from the hook, housekeeping is done then it's sent off to createMenu, whereupon it is discarded.
Its lifetime is the same. I globaled it so that it could be used in dynamic_admin_menu_icons or something. As soon as the unique hook is called and the menu is create -- that array goes away, too.

if you modify the admin menu, you'll need to manually remove the cache file, or run clean_cache('css', 'admenu') through a hook or something.
I'd rather automate that if possible. While it's not particularly ideal to sit and retest the entire menu structure for changes, if it's been to a hook, the hook is going to have added some items which will likely negate the cache.
It's only an icon cache... I'm caching ALL of the icons in the array, regardless of whether they can be shown to the user. Small enough anyway.

As for the loadBlock stuff, it's going to have to wait until tomorrow. I noticed another bug in the index rebuilder -- if it's called more than once, it erases the skeleton :(

Will fix ASAP then.
Last time I tested, it worked. I probably broke it during one of my numerous code changes last month.
Posted: October 2nd, 2011, 06:49 PM

Okay, gotta go, will commit a fix later...
I'm not sure how to deal with it though. I should probably just skip the original test if we're in before or after mode...

How so?
You think everyone received Karl's gag piece twice at least? :P
