00:05 <noob7> can someone maybe point me into the right direction here, I've been searching the forums but wasnt able to find anything suitable - I am looking for a little PHP snippet that strips players.txt from everything but the player names to display them... can someone help me with this?
00:10 <Lucifer_arma> basic string parsing 101?
00:17 <noob7> so you teach that course?
00:18 <xfroggy> lol ^
00:19 <noob7> :/
00:46 <Lucifer_arma> come on, discard the first line, and just read the first string from each line after that
00:46 <Lucifer_arma> how hard can it be?
00:47 <Lucifer_arma> strip whitespace from every line, then read from the white for the first whitespace character and trim out that part of the string
00:47 <Lucifer_arma> if you want to keep the information, do it, otherwise you can just discard it
00:48 <Lucifer_arma> when you've trimmed off all the columns on the right that are known to be scores and shit, whatever's left must be the player name
00:48 <Lucifer_arma> see? basic string parsing 101....
01:00 <noob7> well I know what I'd have to do to get the players names, but my php knowledge is rather small to say the least
01:01 <noob7> knowing what needs to be done and doing it is a completely different task ;)
01:01 <noob7> thanks anyways, got it running thanks to someone sharing his snippet
01:10 <DrJoeTron> microsoft is my buddy now
01:10 <DrJoeTron> because they sent me a free zune
01:11 <Lucifer_arma> now you can squirt shit to your friends
01:11 <Lucifer_arma> except they probably have ipods
01:11 <DrJoeTron> they have ipods,
01:11 <DrJoeTron> i would never pay for an mp3 player
01:11 <DrJoeTron> but i'll take a free one regardless
01:12 <DrJoeTron> the best part is no one is going to steal it
01:12 <DrJoeTron> because its a zune
01:12 <DrJoeTron> i'd have more worries of people stealing my mini disc player before someone wants steal my zune
01:12 <DrJoeTron> to*
01:22 <GodTodd> zune sucks
01:22 <GodTodd> DrJoeTron: sucks
01:22 <GodTodd> microsoft sucks
01:22 <GodTodd> teh wrld s lame or smth

06:36 <Lucifer_arma> fight with my wife's step-mom is over
06:36 <mkzelda> u kick her ass?
06:36 <Lucifer_arma> yes
06:37 <Lucifer_arma> well, not exactly. :)
06:37 <Lucifer_arma> just talked, had a little fight, then made up
06:37 <Lucifer_arma> but I think I've successfully forced the issue to where my wife now has to go have her confrontation with the woman
06:38 <Lucifer_arma> and I got it on my terms, but the suggestion came from the step-mom
06:40 <Lucifer_arma> always best when the other side suggests what you really want :)
06:40 <tramshed> u?op ?p?sdn ?u????? s? un? s? ?l???u ?ou s,????

06:40 <Lucifer_arma> got a lot of question marks in it
06:40 <Stewie-arma> hi everybody
06:40 <tramshed> hmm
06:41 <Lucifer_arma> is it supposed to have the question marks?
06:41 <tramshed> nah
06:41 <tramshed> its supposed to be upside down
06:41 <Lucifer_arma> why don't you dig up locutus's website? He's got the whole alphabet there for you
06:41 <Stewie-arma> crap I g2g again
06:41 <tramshed> tell me if this does anything for you
06:41 <Stewie-arma> lol
06:41 <tramshed> ??????????does this work correctly?
06:41 <Stewie-arma> ???
06:41 <tramshed> it should be in reverse
06:41 <Lucifer_arma> now there's question marks, and it's not reversed
06:41 <Lucifer_arma> plugin?
06:41 <tramshed> hah
06:41 <tramshed> unicode
06:41 <Stewie-arma> ?????????????????????????????????????
06:42 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, we've found around here that unicode doesn't work reliably enough in irc clients to be worth using
06:42 <tramshed> yep, thats been established
06:42 <tramshed> mine supports it though, heh
06:43 <Stewie-arma> Lucier_arma: do you use x-chat?
06:43 <Lucifer_arma> Stewie-arma: no
06:43 <Lucifer_arma> do a version request and see what you get
06:43 <tramshed> heh
06:43 <tramshed> no biggie on that

06:50 <GodTodd> Uptime: 8 days, 3 hours and 58 minutes
06:50 <Lucifer_arma> then you missed the recent ubuntu software updates :)
06:50 <GodTodd> nope
06:50 <GodTodd> i've updated 2 or three times in the last day and a half
06:51 <Lucifer_arma> just not rebooting?
06:51 <GodTodd> nope
06:51 <Lucifer_arma> you'll need to recompiled pyqt4 probably, then, because python got updated
06:51 <GodTodd> probably
06:51 * Lucifer_arma just learned that, and has to recompile pyqt3 and pyqt4, but is only doing pyqt3
06:52 * tramshed compiles for fun
06:53 * Lucifer_arma has better things to do with his time :)
06:54 * GodTodd farts for fun.
06:54 <Lucifer_arma> not that I think you're wasting your time, of course
06:56 <Lucifer_arma> well, school starts tomorrow for me. Anyone else?
07:01 * GodTodd raises his hand.
07:04 <Lucifer_arma> what classes you got this time? I remember you said physics, what else?
07:05 <GodTodd> physics, data structures, humanities and government
07:06 <Lucifer_arma> light semester? ;)
07:06 <GodTodd> you?
07:07 <GodTodd> light but necessary ;)
07:11 <Lucifer_arma> statics, martial arts weaponry, chemistry, us government, speech, comp 2
07:11 <Lucifer_arma> sorry about the wait, I had to re-authenticate to my school's new authentication scheme, and I couldn't remember the last class
07:11 <GodTodd> haha
07:12 <Lucifer_arma> about to put it all on my calendar again and make a last attempt to get it synced to my pda
07:12 <GodTodd> does your school combine us and tx govt too?
07:12 <Lucifer_arma> no, separate classes
07:12 <GodTodd> ahhh...mine covers both at once
07:12 <GodTodd> but we still have to take two of them :/
07:12 <Lucifer_arma> but you still need 6 credit hours :)
07:12 <GodTodd> yep
07:13 <Lucifer_arma> that's state law
07:13 <GodTodd> yep
07:13 <Lucifer_arma> aka welfare for government teachers
07:13 <GodTodd> heh
07:13 <GodTodd> the teacher i had in spring wasn't even a govt teacher
07:13 <Lucifer_arma> my texas government teacher said that law was lobbied for by UT alumni :)
07:14 <Lucifer_arma> so UT could get a bigger chunk of money to fund the classes
07:14 <GodTodd> no doubt on the leg that the more educated people are about the system, the more likely they'll make better choices too
07:15 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, and it was passed back when politicians needed people to be more educated about the system to stay in power
07:15 <GodTodd> now they need us *less* educated ;)
07:15 <Lucifer_arma> now it's the other way around, I'll bet the law could get reversed pretty easily if UT saw money in it
07:15 <Lucifer_arma> heh, the more educated people tend to vote democrat these days
07:16 <GodTodd> i don't doubt it
07:20 <Lucifer_arma> tomorrow is statics and martial arts weaponry
07:21 <Lucifer_arma> and I have to email my us government teacher, since I'm taking that as distance learning
07:21 <GodTodd> i just have data structures tomorrow
07:22 <Lucifer_arma> well, I'm going to email my us government teacher in a few minutes, I need to get a jump on that
07:22 <Lucifer_arma> I need to get a jump on everything, semester's too full to let any class get backed up the first week
07:23 <Lucifer_arma> and I can't drop any more classes, particularly classes in my degree (outside of the core stuff)
07:23 <GodTodd> right

17:11 <spidey> i have so many routers...

17:12 <spidey> 3 belkins, linksys, cnet(no idea wtf it is)
17:12 <spidey> i can? O.o
17:12 <spidey> none of them have routing functions
17:12 <spidey> they're basically a accesspoint
17:12 <spidey> all they work as
17:13 <z-man-work> Yeah, plug router 1 into the internet, plug the DMZ server and router 2 into router 1, and the rest of your computers into router 2
17:13 <z-man-work> then the DMZ server can't access the rest of your computers, but the rest can contact the DMZ server.

19:34 <Lucifer_arma> heh
19:34 <Lucifer_arma> youngest is a milestone, though :)
19:35 <Lucifer_arma> but he's a trooper. He was clearly scared, but he held himself together and did as he was told and walked to class
19:35 <GodTodd> truly
19:35 <Lucifer_arma> one of the other kids started wailing, and the parents kept trying to comfort him, so the teacher banished us
19:35 <GodTodd> heh
19:35 <Lucifer_arma> we were supposed to walk the kids to the classroom, but we got banished in front of the office
19:35 <Lucifer_arma> so everyone stood there crying (many of them it was their first kid, and some of the women were expecting another one shortly)
19:36 <Lucifer_arma> so what do you do? It was my youngest, so I'd already been through that whole thing
19:36 <Lucifer_arma> how long do you wait to be polite, and how long of a wait is wasted time?
19:36 <Lucifer_arma> so I stood for like 5-10 minutes, then left, and everyone followed me out, so I guess I chose the appropriate interval
19:36 <GodTodd> heh
19:37 <Lucifer_arma> I already like his class though. He's one of 3 white kids, and the rest are all very diverse
19:38 <Lucifer_arma> there was a couple speaking french, another speaking an indian language, we'd already met the little asian girl and her mom, etc.
19:38 <Lucifer_arma> very diverse. I hate to sound racist, but I'm awfully happy there aren't so damn many white kids in his class
19:39 <Lucifer_arma> also got my first look at the new principal. He seemed of good humor and compassionate, but it wasn't much of a detailed impression
19:39 <GodTodd> i like the principal we have
19:39 <Lucifer_arma> oh fuck, I got pictures of the other two kids when they went to school, but we were in so much of a hurry that I didn't get him :(
19:39 <GodTodd> he's the standard "put on a happy face" school administrator...but he seems really open to parents
19:39 <Lucifer_arma> I'll take them tomorrow and pretend they happened today :)
19:40 <Lucifer_arma> is he a "beautiful people" kind of principal?
19:40 <GodTodd> was gonna say...i faked it one year with my oldest ;)
19:40 <GodTodd> nah
19:40 * GodTodd got a picture of his oldest sitting with his little brother on "first day of school" :)
19:41 <Lucifer_arma> :)
19:41 <GodTodd> it'll make a good memory in twenty years :)
19:41 <Lucifer_arma> the kid that started crying first set off a couple of other kids, and the rest got a little more scared
19:41 <Lucifer_arma> but my kid trooped right on. :) I'm very proud of him. ;)
19:42 <GodTodd> i haven't had to deal with a crying kid...my oldest wanted me to leave fast on his first day
19:42 <Lucifer_arma> mine too, she didn't want us to embarrass her in front of her new friends
19:42 <Lucifer_arma> my second kid it was business as usual
19:42 <GodTodd> geez...after next year i'll be the parent of a middle schooler :/
19:42 <Lucifer_arma> geezer
19:43 <GodTodd> he's in 4th grade now
19:43 <Lucifer_arma> holy shit, I'm not far from it either
19:43 <Lucifer_arma> oldest is in 3rd grade
19:43 <GodTodd> yep
19:43 <GodTodd> we're doddering old fools now :)
19:43 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, well, now we measure age by oldest kid, so you get to be the fucking geezer for awhile
19:43 <GodTodd> yep
19:43 <GodTodd> til they hit 18
19:43 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, then we get to be kids again ourselves
19:44 <GodTodd> thing is i'll probably have one more...so you'll have a good 5 year head start on your second childhood
19:44 <Lucifer_arma> of course, I don't know, I have told my wife a few times that she's close enough in age to our oldest that they can go clubbing together
19:44 <GodTodd> haha
19:44 <Lucifer_arma> second? don't you mean third?
19:44 <Lucifer_arma> WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING KIDS IF YOU DON'T GET A SECOND CHILDHOOD IN THE DEAL????
19:45 <GodTodd> well...i suppose that's true..."second adolescence"...how's that? ;)
19:45 <Lucifer_arma> much better. and this time, with sex!
19:45 <GodTodd> ahahaha
19:46 <Lucifer_arma> man, if my wife takes it to heart, she and my daughter could compete for the same men in the clubs, too
19:46 <GodTodd> no calls from school...that's a good thing :)
19:46 <Lucifer_arma> heh
19:47 <Lucifer_arma> we usually don't get any the first day, but now with 3 kids in school, we've increased the odds of a call happening on any given day
19:47 <Lucifer_arma> and with that idiot nurse still working there.....
19:47 <Lucifer_arma> man, I hope my daughter's teacher isn't totally worthless
19:47 <GodTodd> i like my son's teacher
19:48 <Lucifer_arma> same teacher, right?
19:48 <GodTodd> she cracked down on him last year with the "flashing" incident during recess
19:48 <GodTodd> yeah
19:48 <Lucifer_arma> he was flashing people?
19:48 <GodTodd> probably different mainstream teacher but same spec ed teach
19:48 <Lucifer_arma> ah, right
19:48 <GodTodd> he pulled his pants down on the basketball court
19:49 <Lucifer_arma> the spec ed teacher is the one that matters, though, because she's the one that's going to bat for him against the rest
19:49 <GodTodd> yep
19:49 <Lucifer_arma> so you'll get the call as either a backstabbing attempt on the spec ed teacher, or because shit has actually happened :)
19:50 <Lucifer_arma> (that's how the aces counselors were for me, but I didn't realize it until it was almost too late to take advantage of their services)
19:50 <Lucifer_arma> throw a bunch of women in a building and charge them with educating a bunch of kids and what do you get?
19:50 <GodTodd> she's a good teacher...one of those that actually *likes* doing what she does :)
19:50 <Lucifer_arma> that's just asking for the really horrible workplace politics
19:51 <Lucifer_arma> man, to be a good spec ed teacher, you have to love it
19:51 <GodTodd> yep
19:51 <Lucifer_arma> you can teach history and hate teaching
19:51 <GodTodd> that's for sure
19:51 <GodTodd> they put up with a lot of shit
19:51 <Lucifer_arma> yes, and they frequently really make a difference for the kids
19:51 <Lucifer_arma> I'm excepting the idiots at AHS, of course
19:52 <Lucifer_arma> they were totally worthless
19:52 <Lucifer_arma> but we could probably count the teachers that weren't worthless there on a couple of fingers
19:52 <GodTodd> my son has made massive strides in the educational environment he had last year...so i'm excited to see how far we can push it this year
19:52 <GodTodd> very true
19:53 <Lucifer_arma> he'll have Reimann's Hypothesis proven by the time he's 16
19:53 <GodTodd> i'm hoping ;)
19:53 <Lucifer_arma> and everybody will say "Oh look at what the <pejorative> kid did!" because they're not smart enough to understand what he did
19:53 * Lucifer_arma hates public schools
19:53 <GodTodd> yeah
19:54 <Lucifer_arma> "what a pretty picture!"
19:54 <GodTodd> we need vouchers
19:54 <Lucifer_arma> turn private schools into public schools? are you kidding?
19:54 <Lucifer_arma> then what're we going to do?
19:54 <Lucifer_arma> not that I have much choice right now, but ... but ... b-but .....
19:54 <GodTodd> actually...i think we need to turn education over to the private sector
19:54 <GodTodd> get the fucking government out of it
19:54 <Lucifer_arma> I think the kids need to burn the schools down
19:55 <Lucifer_arma> in protest
19:55 <GodTodd> have Wal-School
19:55 <Lucifer_arma> hey, I took my youngest for a speech evaluation today
19:55 <Lucifer_arma> which is what we were so busy doing that I forgot the camera
19:56 <Lucifer_arma> remember the CPS lady suggested it? So that when the evil school pounced on him for his speech (which is a little behind), we could say "fuck off, we're handling it"
19:56 <GodTodd> right
19:56 <Lucifer_arma> anyway, he did well. I think he knew he was being tested, so he wanted to impress the lady
19:56 <Lucifer_arma> she still recommended speech therapy, but agreed with me that it was entirely possible he would be at his age level or ahead in 6 months
19:57 <GodTodd> my son's speech has caught up well (he's assigned to a speech therapist)
19:57 <Lucifer_arma> so we're going to hold off a little bit and see how pre-k deals him, you know, trying to keep variables we can control for and measure the result
19:57 <GodTodd> right
19:57 <GodTodd> haha
19:57 <Lucifer_arma> speech therapy can be a godsend for the right kid, but to be honest, I've seen a few kids where all speech therapy gave them was a lot of well-enunciated babble
19:58 <GodTodd> i told my youngest that we have to pick up his brother in an hour and a half...so he's standing by the garage door waiting
19:58 <Lucifer_arma> my kid's got the language down pretty well, he tells jokes and plays fun conversational games and all
19:58 <Lucifer_arma> haha
19:58 <Lucifer_arma> he's still 1 right now, right?
19:58 <GodTodd> yeah
19:59 <GodTodd> feb he'll turn 2
19:59 <Lucifer_arma> ah yes, the terrible twos
19:59 <GodTodd> that last from 1-18 ;)
19:59 <Lucifer_arma> they tell you about the terrible twos to get you all worked up about it, but nobody mentioned the terrible threes :)
19:59 <GodTodd> and fours
19:59 <Lucifer_arma> oh hell, my daughter's really mellowed out
19:59 <GodTodd> and fives
20:00 <Lucifer_arma> she's doing chores and shit with a good sense of urgency and reasonable quality, and by finally trusting me on them she's finding all sorts of play time she didn't used to have
20:00 <GodTodd> yeah...we still have tussles over chores
20:00 <GodTodd> e\s
20:00 <Lucifer_arma> but she's already trying to push puberty even though it hasn't hit yet.
20:00 <Lucifer_arma> she's in a hurry to grow up
20:00 <GodTodd> especially over quality and half-assed work
20:01 <Lucifer_arma> she took total responsibility over getting ready for school this morning, she was a total little woman
20:01 <GodTodd> i tell him that if you aren't going to do it right (reasonably well at least) then you might as well not even try and if you don't at least try i get pissed ;)
20:01 <Lucifer_arma> she wanted to get her own breakfast (which she did), make her own lunch, etc.
20:01 <Lucifer_arma> she did all that
20:01 <GodTodd> yeah...my son did all that
20:02 <Lucifer_arma> I tell them to do it right, and if they don't, I dump all their shit out and make them do it again
20:02 <GodTodd> he likes school so he wanted to help make it faster ;)
20:02 <Lucifer_arma> heh
20:02 <Lucifer_arma> my daughter's really excited, which is good after the way last year went
20:02 <Lucifer_arma> a lot of her friends are in her class this year, the primary troublemaker has moved away, and the secondary troublemaker is also in her class
20:02 <Lucifer_arma> there's real potential here!
20:03 <GodTodd> haha
20:03 <Lucifer_arma> just watch the secondary troublemaker get pressured into being friends with my daughter, and my daughter finally gets to be the bigger girl
20:03 <Lucifer_arma> I hope it works out that way, that'll be so awesome for my daughter
20:04 <GodTodd> that'd rock :)
20:04 <Lucifer_arma> my older son got the teacher that my daughter woudn up transfering to at the end of last year, so both of them are really excited about that
20:05 <Lucifer_arma> so, we have one known good teacher, one teacher with a lot of experience with pre-k kids, and my daughter's teacher is in only her second year of teaching
20:05 <Lucifer_arma> which doesn't mean she's bad, mind you, but inexperience played into that crap last year, so there's some trepidation
20:06 <Lucifer_arma> well, I'm gonna go grab a nap before I have to go to school. I haven't slept since yesterday
20:10 <GodTodd> have fun :)

View entire month
is a site that has tools, maps, and other various items. It orignally only existed as a server control panel, but I slowly began adding stuff such as a homepage and tools.

This is an LLM-free zone. In general, I am unwilling to use (fight with) any form of "GenAI" to write code for me. So, for the forseeable future, everything on this site will continue to be written by a very silly goose (wait that's me honk honk) with some parts written by other humans as well (silly hu-mon) rather than any plausible-series-of-words token-eating machine. Even my libraries are out of date, and suddenly that's a good thing!
(Although the style has changed several times and content has been added and changed, the base of this site has barely been updated since 2015. But it Ain't Broke!)
This site is also occasionally tested with older browsers, but compatibility is not guarenteed. Although, if you have an old obscure browser and something isn't working that previously did, I guess you can tell me (nelg) about it...
