# OH GEOFFREY!
hey baby

been busy with me new job - one of those jobs where you work from the minute you arrive until the minute you leave (but still get a full lunch break!), and our bandwidth is rubbish and monitored heavily, so I`ll not be around during weekdays until such times as I leave the place or have a holiday

# em
so far so good.. it`s hectic to say the least, but there`s a lot of Unix geekdom, so it`ll be interesting if not fun

.. it`s when I go on 24 hour call things might get a bit shit!
(I helped save b3ta! Reckless_Rik, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 21:54, archived)
# I suppose you're getting paid well for the 24 hour Unix geekdom things then
you should write a script that occasionally inserts a reply that says *bums* on the day board, so we feel more at home here ;)
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 21:57, archived)
# haha I could do that quite easily
but I`d have to make sure the code parsed the board and only posted as a reply to an existing thread ;)

crontab here we come!

edit: as for getting well-paid... well, I`ll let you know when I can get to the end of the month without being broke after paying the bills :(

a Beatles song lyric?

# haha what a fantastic idea for a doghorse knock-off song type thing
ccc did a fantastic beatles / jam mashup on his Revolved "album" - if you can track that down by hook or by crook, it`s well recommended

lots of Beatles music / singing with different bands` vocals or music - very clever stuff

# mongy and I were yapping about it a few weeks ago
so I sent him a photo of my arse

.. just to save you lot from seeing it

I suppose it was the equivalent of squeezing a stress ball or something (the act, not the arse)

# I feel bad for him
he had to see your arse.

But yeah, it makes sense, and I understand why people have a problem with RPS/violation of guidelines/general inconsiderate posting

# you're right on this account
what's the point?
(OnionTerror is a bag full of sick, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 21:47, archived)
# The point is
I don't think people would have as much of a problem with RPS if the photos posted were in the same thread so not as to knock other stuff off the board, interesting to look at, and generally not something like a picture of one's foot.

# I don't mind interesting and/or funny photos
that are well done, and properly optimised. Same as for shopped images. But people see it as an excuse to post any old crap - it's the equivalent of if someone decided "Oh, lets make today 30 second paintmash Sunday"

# pance!
that's at least a 5 minute paintmash though
oooh, can I ask you a geeky question?
What html code do I need to make "image a" appear in Firefox/Opera, and "image b" appear in IE?
(I helped save b3ta! tipassoi, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 22:03, archived)
# not as simple as it sounds!
you need to identify the browser accessing the page hosting the image; this can be done with server side code and testing the HTTP user agent, or by client side code (JavaScript)

the javascript route may be easiest and is probably the more dependable way of doing things

have a squizz here for browser detection scripts

you can test what the browser SAYS it is (some browsers can spoof and pretend to be others) using app.name or test things like the DOM (document object model) properties - these are implemented differently between browsers)

you can then use an if..then..else constuct to document.write the correct code to the page depending on your if..then (assuming javascript is actually turned on)

# cool, cheers
I shall have a try
(I helped save b3ta! tipassoi, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 22:17, archived)
# but that`ll only work if the image is displayed on a HTML page
you can`t really do it if e.g. the image was going to be posted here

in that case you`d need to <img src="...."> to a script on your server that generates / returns the image, and then you`d need to depend on the user agent being OK
(I helped save b3ta! Reckless_Rik, Sun 12 Feb 2006, 22:19, archived)
# Right.
Unfortunately I am too tired/lazy to think about this now. So I shall save it to be thought about later.
