The Bar

I see you are still here. I was on a call

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:20 pm

Well, the counter is good again, so it is probably time to call it a night.

Have a good one.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:21 pm

Good night Stargeezer.

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:24 pm

Thanks for the conversation Box Burner

I hope you don't have to work too much longer. Without any support calls and nobody in the bar, it could get pretty quiet.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:26 pm

I will be off in about half an hour or 45 minutes. Depending on how busy it is.

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:39 pm

Box Burner, my thought of failure at or around 65536 appears to be incorrect. I went back and looked at the old posts, and that happened too long ago. I would love to see a copy of the code, this is an interesting one. I am calling it a night again. Hope you don't get too busy with calls.

So as far as the bug goes, am I correct in assuming that all of the necessary data is available, but there is no time or interest to fix it. Times sure change. When I was programming, if there was a problem in my code, I did not sleep until I got it fixed. This must be code of someone that is no longer available for whatever reason and the support staff just does not want to dig.

Support staff? BAHAHAHAAA!!! There ain't nobody driving this bus. We're just lucky to be on a relatively straight road. Hopefully it will last long enough for me or someone else to get to the front and figure out how to work the controls.

I've been using this board for years and have never heard of this bug. Then again, I pretty much never visit these huge threads. I went through 6 pages and still don't quite understand what you guys are saying.

If someone could explain what's going on in this bug reports thread (or a new thread if you'd like) I'd appreciate it:

I put explanation of symptoms in the BUG thread...... Hope that helps.....

I wonder if this door into the bar might finally get fixed. I don't think I will hold my breath.

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 8:29 am

I am not sure what the trick is, but I am going to give up on posting images for now. It looks like another game to be played when I am bored some evening.

Probably a good idea. Slowing down the flood of spam is a higher priority.

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 12:08 pm

I was watching posts appear from one spammer last night. I am not normally into censorship, but during problem times it might help if newcomers were limited on the number of posts they could make. Having a new user post 20 times in less than an hour is a pretty good indicator that there is a problem.

That's sounds like a fun programming problem, thanks for volunteering.

Unless you are in the Bar!!!!.... hahahaha!

Just a couple quick points before I have a drink.

First, while I have never seen the code supporting this system, I have experience in several languages and would not be afraid to take a look. I may not be able to fix the problems quickly, but would not ignore them either. On the flip-side, I can appreciate current support staff not wanting to provide access to their system to someone they have no experience with, from their perspective that would be very dangerous and some would consider it stupid.

As far as 20 posts per hour, even in the bar I have not seen a new user generate that. After a few days in the bar, I guess this is possible, but not the first night.

Now, since this is the bar, I will pour myself one.

stargeezer · Post by **stargeezer** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 5:30 pm

Just as a side note, post number 15 was fine, post number 16 generated the problem. I had previously posted that we should make a new rule that one should not leave the bar with the page counter in the failing mode. Since the bar is very quiet and nobody else to talk to, I guess I will be the first one to break the new rule!!

...yeah.
But it isn`t too hard to figure out how to get in here.
Kind of like a little maze you have to go through to get in .
Guess it`s time to face the day. Looks like it`s gonna be a tough week for me. I wonder if there`s any coffee left back there.

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:39 pm

EvilDustBooger · Post by **EvilDustBooger** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:47 pm

If anyone sees him, tell him to stop in

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:48 pm
