| 15:33:39 | Nothing_Much | Good afternoon |
| 15:34:56 | raptor | Watusimoto: that wiki style looked good to me |
| 15:35:08 | raptor | I'm not exactly sure how you integrated it |
| 15:35:49 | raptor | but what i did for the forums: use some black-ish style (which happened to be an updated version of the old one) and just edit the global header/footer of that style to include our sitewide includes |
| 15:35:56 | raptor | so changes were very minimal |
| 15:57:46 | | Darrel has joined |
| 16:17:18 | Watusimoto | hi |
| 16:17:36 | Watusimoto | glad you like the wiki |
| 16:17:54 | Watusimoto | sam686's files were a good starting point, but some of it didn't work |
| 16:18:23 | Watusimoto | there are some stylesheets in common with phpwebhosting, but some are independent |
| 16:57:46 | Watusimoto | I need to figure a way to have a static header that can have different items highlighted, depending on page |
| 16:58:26 | Watusimoto | I'm thinking about assigining each header item to a different class, then embedding a style in the calling page that highlihgts that particular class |
| 16:58:32 | Watusimoto | I can't think of another way |
| 17:00:05 | raptor | let me think |
| 17:00:44 | raptor | what would be highlighted? |
| 17:05:31 | Watusimoto | the red box that specifies what page you are on |
| 17:05:51 | Watusimoto | right now, go to wiki, home is highlighted (incorrectly) |
| 17:06:28 | raptor | oh! haha, i never noticed that |
| 17:06:30 | raptor | awesome |
| 17:06:56 | raptor | ok yeah... well, what you do is put a little bit of javascript that detects the current page and modifies the CSS on the fly |
| 17:07:17 | raptor | even just a jQuery makes it very simple |
| 17:07:43 | raptor | maybe even have a little table that has location -> css id |
| 17:08:00 | Watusimoto | that's what the 2-vote answer here suggests: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4626431/highlight-the-navigation-menu-for-the-current-page |
| 17:08:04 | raptor | or that reads from each title |
| 17:08:43 | raptor | oh duh - the accepted answer also makes perfect sense |
| 17:08:49 | raptor | and is simpler |
| 17:09:41 | raptor | but grows geometrically... |
| 17:10:01 | Watusimoto | and I'm not sure we have access to the body tag in phpbb |
| 17:10:09 | Watusimoto | we can do it in wiki, and probably all the other tags |
| 17:10:22 | raptor | sure we do, there is a global header/footer file |
| 17:10:28 | raptor | oh |
| 17:10:32 | raptor | uhh |
| 17:11:07 | raptor | hmmm |
| 17:11:13 | raptor | ther eis a wrapping div around each page |
| 17:13:23 | Watusimoto | looks like the body tags all have an id already assigned that will work for us |
| 17:13:30 | Watusimoto | id="phpbb" |
| 17:13:48 | Watusimoto | so maybe that will work fine |
| 17:41:55 | Watusimoto | yeah, it works |
| 17:42:14 | Watusimoto | everything but the forums looks to be in good shape now |

| 18:22:22 | raptor | bf.org restarted |
| 18:28:51 | Watusimoto | what? |
| 18:29:32 | raptor | oh nope, uptime says 35 days |
| 18:29:42 | raptor | so it just went network-dead for 10 min. |
| 18:29:48 | Watusimoto | none of my connections got broke |
| 18:30:03 | Watusimoto | I'm sshed in in two sessions |
| 18:30:05 | raptor | that's because SSH has a default timeout of like 30 min. |
| 18:30:37 | Watusimoto | maybe we can use our backup server to establish evidence of downness that I can send to the vps provider |
| 18:30:50 | Watusimoto | like a pingbot or whatever... |
| 18:32:18 | Watusimoto | I have a job interview tomorrow |
| 18:32:41 | Watusimoto | via phone... 15-30 mins, including programming test |
| 18:32:47 | Watusimoto | not sure how that's going to work out |
| 18:33:17 | Watusimoto | hi - write me a quicksort - bye |
| 18:33:47 | raptor | Collections.sort(myMap); |
| 18:33:49 | raptor | done! |
| 18:34:04 | raptor | technically, that's a modified mergesort I think |
| 18:35:23 | Watusimoto | yeah, in my last job we gave a test like that |
| 18:35:37 | Watusimoto | we asked the guy to write soem code to shuffle a deck of cards |
| 18:35:41 | Watusimoto | in java |
| 18:35:51 | Watusimoto | he just did cards.shuffle() |
| 18:35:59 | raptor | haha, excellent! |
| 18:36:03 | Watusimoto | neither me or the other interviewer knew about that |
| 18:36:26 | Watusimoto | we were like... uh.... ok.... any other ways, maybe? |
| 18:36:46 | Watusimoto | then the other interviewer and I got into an argument about the best way to do it |
| 18:37:08 | Watusimoto | it was kind of a fiasco all around |
| 18:37:16 | Watusimoto | but we hired the guy, and he was great |
| 18:37:18 | raptor | hahaha |
| 18:37:33 | raptor | so the question is... did you hire him? |
| 18:37:37 | Watusimoto | yes |
| 18:37:41 | Watusimoto | very good decision |
| 18:37:59 | raptor | and the real question is... was algorithm memorization a requirement for the job? |
| 18:38:20 | Watusimoto | well, I didn't want a memorized answer |
| 18:38:38 | Watusimoto | I wanted the guy to come up with my answer, to prove my co-interviewer wrong |
| 18:38:51 | Watusimoto | :-) |
| 18:39:31 | Watusimoto | I tried a glib answer to a programming test once; one of the few interviews that didn't lead to an offer |
| 18:40:41 | raptor | haha |
| 18:41:24 | Watusimoto | I also ripped my suit somehow during the interview |
| 18:43:46 | raptor | this was my response to a sort in one interview I had: http://pastie.org/pastes/9454206/text |
| 18:44:47 | raptor | can you see my cheating? :) |
| 18:46:32 | Watusimoto | hard to spot |
| 18:46:50 | raptor | so it's 3 sneaky things |
| 18:46:55 | raptor | 1. TreeSet auto sorts |
| 18:47:26 | raptor | 2. TreeSet.toString() outputs like this: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'] |
| 18:47:36 | raptor | 3. regex replace the unwanted chars |
| 18:47:40 | raptor | and so it spits out: ABCD |
| 18:47:54 | Watusimoto | ah... didn't see that you werw asked to do a sort :-) |
| 18:48:10 | Watusimoto | nice |
| 18:48:20 | raptor | oh sorry, yeah... |
| 18:48:26 | Watusimoto | you wrote it pretty clearly |
| 18:48:52 | Watusimoto | I misread it as "a sort of xxx in one interview" as in a kind |
| 18:49:07 | Watusimoto | my briain filled in something for xxx, but I'm not sure what |
| 18:49:31 | Watusimoto | it's a funny solution |
| 18:50:26 | raptor | it was fast, efficient, and totally not what they were looking for |
| 18:50:59 | Watusimoto | best kind of answer! |
| 18:51:03 | Watusimoto | look at this flowchart |
| 18:51:04 | Watusimoto | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6498098/are-there-any-sorted-collections-in-c |
| 18:51:10 | Watusimoto | could be useful someday |
| 18:51:22 | Watusimoto | I was looking for a c++ solution to your problem |
| 18:55:27 | raptor | i like that chart! |
| 19:15:39 | raptor | heading home. later! |
