The Pub / [Archive] Re: Logo Madness
« on July 30th, 2011, 01:02 AM »
Okay... I'm not giving up on the logo.

How about something like... THIS?
It's a pure mockup (ahah, shadow is at the top because I just rotated the ship), done in five minutes. Just trying to get the feel of it.
(I did spend about an hour trying to get a good one though. It's not something I just threw in for a quick test. The logo is one of my obsessions in Wedge.)

Lol very funny.

I'm not surprised though. I have an iq of 179. :niark:

Iq could also be based on the number of opened tabs i'm sure.

Did nearly 1000 posts in April alone, but it took me two months and a half to post my last thousand... Ah well, I'm just back to the usual pre-public rhythm ;)

6000, then! And Pete isn't far away. 17k+ posts on the forum overall. The both of us represent two thirds of the posts. How serious we are about this all! :lol:

rev 898
(4 files, 7kb)

* More JavaScript function changes. Deleted php_addslashes (never used anywhere), moved easyReplace from script.js to post.js (it's only used by the smiley manager), turned _replaceEntities into an anonymous function (as it's only used by removeEntities). (post.js, script.js)

+ Added ability to call a regular popup window in reqWin, as opposed to an Ajax popup. (script.js)

! Fixed media button to call a popup window, as it's a two-step process and the second page wouldn't load in the Ajax popup. (Aeva-Gallery.php, editor.js)

@ Note: I wanted to use an iframe or something cooler than a popup window, but hey... Nobody ever complained about the AeMe popup in the first place, so why bother/waste time on this. As long as it works...

Just as a reminder.
Two years ago I was plagued with session bugs at sm.org. It eventually got fixed months later but I never knew how. Was it an opera bug or smf bug. I dunno. I just got errors each time I posted and I had to resubmit my posts. Indefinitely. Was a mess. Sm.org is an unstable website to me.

rev 897 (a small one before going to bed...)
(4 files, 7kb)

* Replaced the very last escape/unescape calls with encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent. They're better suited for URL encoding. (PersonalMessage.template.php, Search.template.php)

* Removed {db_prefix}members:media and added {db_prefix}messages:id_parent. Both are unused, but id_parent can be used later for building a threaded view. (install.sql)

! If a timezone has no slash in it (such as 'UTC'), the timezone retrieval code will generate a warning. (ManageSettings.php)

No harm done hey!
I should be looking out for wedge links more often. I just found a blog post about us! :)

This is the first blog post I actually find really funny (Sorry Arantor :P ).
Hey, you should be sorry for me, I make most of the lame humor attempts in the blog :whistle:

I hope that Wedge shows how SMF is a good base, it just needs some further development...
Further development and constant refining. I'm still in awe at how much needed to be done. Really...

* encodeURIComponent() has been supported as far back as IE 5.5, so there's no reason to use SMF's way of emulating it
Do they behave differently? Specifically, the php_* functions in JS are not necessarily exact analogues of existing or later-defined JS structures, they are implemented specifically to replicate how PHP does things especially where character sets are concerned (since .toLowerCase() can behave rather differently to strtolower(), as a typical example)
Come to think of it, I never bothered to look up the differences between toLowerCase and php_strtolower. I suppose the latter is UTF-aware or something.
Do you remember any reason for using php_strtolower?

As for php_urlencode, yes, encodeURIComponent gives results similar to PHP's urlencode(). I tried a silly combination of random chars and both gave me the same results, so I assume I could use it freely. (Which is why I committed my change without further research. If it's buggy, we'll fix. But I don't know how it will.)
From what you probably saw in my commit, SMF's implementation of the whole thing was kinda bastardized. They used different methods for encoding strings, and added useless crap here and there.

* php_strtr uses charAt when it could use [] instead. It's a bit faster, which is good in long loops. (script.js)
Interesting, didn't realise JS supported that structure, will remember that for later.[/quote]Yeah, again as pointed out in the changelog-- it's only implemented in IE8+ and all other browsers. IE6/IE7 are a small share, but big enough to give up on that one. It's not like it's a big performance hog, since it's only used when encrypting passwords (sha1.js).

I'm letting them be for now because they're testing for %u in the URL, which only happens in escape()'d strings
Is that all they're actually doing?
Absolutely...

That's one of the slightly maddening things about the codebase - stuff like that has been in there for years and it is a little tricky at times prising out the specific reason for it.
Yeah, that's the problem when many developers work on the same project over the years. Each developer has their own quirks.

I remember very well the French equivalent -- Minitel. They were way better than BBS, apparently. Been around since 1980 or so. They're going to plug the plug next year -- sob. Well, the Internet is starting to be a worthy competitor :lol:

:lol:

Well it's not 'news' that we're free, we've been planning to go free from the very beginning and never wondered otherwise, but I felt I needed to make that statement again because my 'joke' may have been found as confusing.

Oh, BTW Tah Zonemaster ("Dr. Deejay"), you said over there that you'd get in touch with me about the slogan... You never did ;)
Also, I'm not banned from sm.org, I'm only post-banned. It doesn't change a thing, but it does mean I can still log into the website and make modifications to Aeva Media. (I'm pretty sure that's the only reason they didn't perm-ban me... After all it's their most popular mod by far... Would have been a PR disaster to actually perm-ban the guy who maintained it :whistle:)

Maybe ARG refused them entry to his castle?

Just wondering. :eheh:
