00:21.11blast007http://static.bzexcess.com/hackernews.png  yeah, we had just a slight increase in traffic from being on the front page of HN for several hours
00:29.06delusionallol, blast, when i google hackernews, i get fifteen hits..  can you link me?
00:29.21blast007https://news.ycombinator.com/
00:29.36blast007we're down at like item 220 now
00:32.30delusionalit says portable.. shouldn't that be cross-platform
00:37.14JeffMheh
00:37.21JeffMwhy did we get on the front page?
00:42.54TD-Linuxsomeone randomly decided to post it
00:43.40TD-Linuxblast007, have you seen a corresponding jump in list server hits?
00:44.13blast007likely not, but I don't have direct stats for that without parsing logs
00:48.02blast007let me see if I can get some rough numbers though
00:49.55blast007nope, doesn't seem to be any increase there
00:50.27blast007the most common length of visit was less than 10 seconds
00:53.33JeffMheh
00:55.20blast007looks like there was 37 unique clicks on the windows installer, 25 on the source, and 22 on the OSX bins, compared with a rough average (based on June 9th through the 15th) of 18, 5, and 8
00:56.01blast007of course, these stats rely on a Javascript tracker, and those who frequent HN might be more likely to use things like NoScript or Ghostery
00:56.23JeffMis bzedit still being hit?
00:57.20blast007well, it's not linked from bzflag.org, so it's not in my stats here
00:57.31JeffMahh
00:57.46blast007though looks like there was either a weird drop, or they haven't updated the timeline data yet: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag/files/bzedit%20win32/stats/timeline
01:01.33JeffMmaybe they realized it wasn't warez or pr0n
01:02.18JeffMheh "Top OS" = "Unknown"

03:44.10Xoufi need help with deleting an old account
03:46.28Xoufhello?
03:47.06FlashI'm sorry, did you pay for the premium 10-second response support?
03:48.02Xoufdamn it! not again
03:50.49Xoufi need help getting my old bzflag account deleted and removed from everything: http://1vs1.bzflag.net/playerinfo.php?playerid=519
03:53.18JeffMif he comes back tell him we don't delete accounts
03:53.40JeffMalso we don't run that site
03:59.21FlashI'm still hoping for a paid support contract
04:00.13TD-LinuxI offer one
04:00.21JeffMin general it is best not to agrivate people like that
04:00.33JeffMnot everyone in all countries understands that humor
04:00.44JeffMTD-Linux, cool, then I can get you sued :)
04:01.30TD-LinuxJeffM, well technically bzflag is included in redhat
04:01.34TD-Linuxand redhat offers support contracts
04:01.50JeffMsure, but you can't offer support on account services ;)
04:01.55JeffMand that's what he needs
04:02.03JeffMthe account database is closed source
04:09.16TD-LinuxJeffM, speaking of account maintenence, can you remove AnimalLover from the COPPA group?
04:09.40JeffMare you his/her parrent?
04:09.45TD-Linuxbrother
04:09.51JeffMsend blast a PM
04:09.55TD-Linuxok
04:09.58JeffMI do not have group access
04:10.11JeffMsend it on the forums then he'll see it when he's at a place he can change it
04:10.31JeffMyour parrents may need to inform him, I don't know his current pollicy
04:10.49TD-Linuxwell she is over 18 at this point :)
04:11.31JeffMk
04:11.37JeffMbut still it's up to him
04:11.47JeffMhe's the one legaly responsible
04:11.56TD-Linuxyeah I told her to send a PM. thanks
04:31.17JeffMwonder if the removal guy is thinking we have to remove data due to the EU rulling against google recently
05:01.34khonkhortisanMy address book. My precious!
05:02.03FlashEU ruled against google?
05:02.09Flash(Y)
05:02.19JeffMyes
05:02.45JeffMpeople can request to have themselves not show up in local searches or there names
05:03.11FlashI don't use gmail because I don't want them reading my mail
05:03.18JeffMsearch engines were ruled to be considered "data managers"
05:03.26JeffMit has nothing to do with gmail
05:03.30JeffMjust search results
05:03.39FlashAnd I don't use Chrome because I don't want them "phoning home" with my browsing history
05:03.48JeffMumm ok
05:03.50FlashGoogle is the devil
05:03.58JeffMwhatever floats your boat
05:04.15JeffMbut they don't need you to use there tools or services too collect your data :)
05:06.35khonkhortisansame reason to not use IE
05:06.59JeffMthere are many reasons not to use IE :)
05:07.08JeffMmost of them becase it's just a bad product
05:07.22khonkhortisanand upgrading your OS is an anti-reason
05:07.23Flashnods
05:07.55JeffMthankfuly for the data managers, client software dosn't matter, you still send out packets :)
05:07.59khonkhortisanflash nods - flash mobs with nodding as the dance of choice
05:09.22JeffMbut whatever the removal guy thinks, we don't have any responsibility to do anything, nether does tim riker with logs
05:09.41JeffMand good luck getting tim to respond
05:17.22Flashmob breaking into song
05:22.18JeffMbzzflag sucks with a touchscreen
05:23.14khonkhortisanare you tapping or dragging?
05:23.30JeffMboth
05:23.41JeffMnether is viable
05:23.45JeffMyour hands are in the way
05:35.41FlashYou wouldn't have that problem with a Mac :P
05:37.07JeffMyeah becayse they won't make a touchscreen laptop
05:37.33Flashwhich sucks for BZFlag, so what's the problem?
05:37.45JeffMthere is more to life then bzflag
05:37.52FlashThe touchscreen laptop is called an iPad
05:38.02JeffMthe touchsreen works VERY well for many other uses
05:38.24JeffMyeah and they lock that down to the point where normal software can't run
05:38.35FlashI'm sure a touchscreen laptop is coming ... they've been converging MacOS and iOS for a while. It's inevitable.
05:39.01JeffMyeah it's just odd they haven't done it yet with all that talk over the past few years
05:39.41JeffMthis one just came with a touchscren, it had all the other stuff I was looking for and the touchscreen was a bonus
05:41.45JeffMseems to get better battery life then my macbook did too
05:51.39JeffMJust gotta get used to the function key being in a diferent place and having a numeric keypad
