Thanks, I've got the link bookmarked at home, but I don't here at work.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Random piece of information: alicelizard is the 200th new user we've added since Joss posted.

377 - John H - Shorten screen-stretching URLs

I didn't think this was implemented yet, but I did write some code which did it and send it to ita, right? I'm not just dreaming that?

And hey, that spanking I was going to get for my unclosed font tag? That was a deliberately unclosed font tag just to test the consequences! So I should ... get two spankings. Or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Leaving it open and pinking the thread is what deserves the punishment.

We need to track, in addition to what's already covered:

  • coded?
  • tested?
  • priority/phase

OK, I'm ready to start coding the ENUF/MARCIE feature now. What do I need to learn/know/do?

Huh. Actual, at work, other people present LOL, there.

While I fully understand the renewed sense of urgency, we need to get our underpinnings aligned. Make sure we know what else's in what order for priority, and have CVS or some substitute all set up.

Otherwise we risk ruin.

What do I need to learn/know/do?

Notwithstanding ita's foresightedness, as I understand it, it ought to be relatively simple.

In the process of showing posts in threads, you'd just be adding an if-clause.

if($postername in $list_of_MARCIE'd_posters){
print ("post by $postername");
} else {
proceed as normal
}

right?

The annoying part is data entry and validation. It always is. Everything else always feels trivial by comparison.

Oh, the formatting and display is also easy, because, um, Jon does that bit.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Is there a way to make it so that post doesn't display at all?
