I think we should register a new domain and get a proper co-located server and give this thread a Beehive forum of its very own.

I preferred your old sig :(

 

How's work going Mark? Still a pleasure to work with those devs?

They are blithering idiots who seem to believe that an API should do everything for them, including enforcing business logic specific to their project. Not that it matters. The world's ending soon anyway.

I am indeed happy now that the world is ending soon anyway.

 

Are you sure you haven't overlooked the beverage and snack ordering function of the API?

 

(cheer)

Heh. This week I've been moved onto a new high-priority project, and seem to be in a similar situation of people not having a clue how to do an API. Or structure a simple CMS-integrated webapp. Or use source control properly. Or write useful specs. And so on. :(

If you feel like advancing your career and learning CFML, there's a couple of open spaces on the team - would be good to have a second person with functioning brain cells... :)

(that's probably a bit harsh; it's more likely the fault of it being stupidly rushed that it's badly setup/etc, but it's still awfully frustrating)

I think you should go and work with Peter and get a webcam and leave it on so we can all watch and listen and give /that/ a website all of its own.

Have you used 4G RAM or jsut a theoretical value?

This spam of late has been /odd/.

...

So are we still on 2GBTBH?

I kinda accidentally upgraded my PC the other day, second hand bits. 16GB of 2400 Mhz DDR3. i7-4770k, Asus Maximus VI Formula motherboard. It all looks like spaceship technology, don't really know what I'm doing anymore

Probably need to upgrade the graphics card now, a 560Ti seems a bit Fiesta-in-a-Ferrari. And sort out a better cooler than the stock one for the CPU so I can try clocking it up a bit perhaps.

Overclocking, I'm still surprised people can be bothered doing it these days.

I have on the other-hand underclocked in the past to save electric and keep fan noise down.

Yeah, that's a bit unbalanced.. hope you have an SSD in there, at least as the system drive - it's by far the best upgrade you can do to almost any system.

I also need to "accidentally" upgrade my stuff, (un?)fortunately nothing in there is anywhere near dying, and I can't fully justify it otherwise. Bah!

Bragging rights... Plus, it can make a difference if you game on three display or 4K resolution or something, depending on what's limiting performance (CPU or GPU). Other than that, there really isn't much point - even the Intel G3258 system I built for my parents about a month ago has plenty of juice for most things, and it'd keep up with most games too if it had a decent graphics card.

It's got an SSD already for the system drive, yup.


For overclocking, it's more or less 'because I can', that processor and board is designed to make it very easy. I think I'd see how far I could take it without bothering to up the voltage though, no real desire to eat all the electricity here. I just want it to make Elite look pretty I think, and the new IL-2 game probably. This thing's also driving a 30" 2560x1600 display and I have half an idea about Oculus Rift one day.

I used that argument ttto get a graphics card upgrade from my dad years ago. I told him the new K6-2 400 with aa Voodoo 3D card was like runninrunnrunninrurunninrunnrunninrunnrunninrurunninrurunninrunnrunninrurunninrunninrunnrunninrurunnrunninrunnrunninrururunninrunnrunninrurunninrunnrunninrunninrunnrunnrunninrunnrunn

What the /hell/ is my phone keyboard suddsuddenly doing Trying to delete words and its making them /BIGGER/

Anyway, yeyes, like having a Ferrari with my mum's Fiesta engine in it.

God I love your typing. Never change whatever it is that makes this happen!

What happens if you try to write bananananananana?

HahaHahhHahaHaHahHahaHahhHahaHaHHahaHahhHahaHaH. Hmm, not going well so far. Banananananananana? That looks about right to me .

I'm not sure if it's usually my phone of the keyboard I use or just the fact that I don't check spellings on my phone well enough. Today it is acting very strangely and even after a reboot. If I try and delete a word it jumps back and forth sometimes deleting and sometimes adding the letters back from the start of the word. Longer words are then jmlosiblimpossible to delete and just keep gettgettingettgettgettgegetgettgettingettgettgettgeggettgettingettgettgettggettgettingettgettgett bigger.
