bait 'n' switch to the elliottcable platform
| elliottcable: | I've developed an interesting habit, it seems, over my time as a coder. |
| elliottcable: | I usually don't like the way things are done, in general. I seem to disagree with people a lot. |
| elliottcable: | My solution thusfar, has been to work like a maniac to make myself indespensible in said community; then produce an assload of really useful shit. |
| greyface: | heh tell me about it |
| elliottcable: | But then I go and make that shit require that the people do things *my* way. |
| elliottcable: | I essentially write "coder DRM". |
| greyface: | it's a bit of a problem though |
| greyface: | like, I just can't use most of the libraries out there |
| greyface: | cause when I look at the code |
| greyface: | I'm like, err no - there's a better way to do that |
| elliottcable: | I make the Sugar manager, and the Ruby sugar, and the Regex sugar - and I make them all awesome - but I require that you do things my way. It's sort of a bait and switch. |
| greyface: | lol |
| greyface: | hehe |
| greyface: | a bait to switch to the elliottcable platform |
| elliottcable: | fuck yes |
| elliottcable: | I'm going to quote you on that somewhere, somewhen |

I am sharing my code. I am not launching an open source project. I am not beginning a search for like minded developers to avoid duplication of efforts. I am not showing up at someone else’s door hat in hand, asking for commit access.

More significantly, the fast zombie is bereft of poetic subtlety. As monsters from the id, zombies win out over vampires and werewolves when it comes to the title of Most Potent Metaphorical Monster. Where their pointy-toothed cousins are all about sex and bestial savagery, the zombie trumps all by personifying our deepest fear: death. Zombies are our destiny writ large. Slow and steady in their approach, weak, clumsy, often absurd, the zombie relentlessly closes in, unstoppable, intractable.

That might be brilliant. I can’t tell.

I just lost what?
| Mikael: | hey dude |
| Mikael: | you just lost The Game |
| elliottcable: | I what? |
| Mikael: | lost The Game |
| elliottcable: | lost what? |
| Mikael: | http://tr.im/uja?wikipedia |
| elliottcable: | http://tr.im/ujc?grabup |
| Mikael: | wtf o_O |
| Mikael: | WTFF |
| Mikael: | … do you have some sort of filter on tharr or something? |
| elliottcable: | Word filter on what? |
| elliottcable: | http://tr.im/ujh?grabup |
| elliottcable: | That wikipedia page you linked me is pretty fucked up. |
| Mikael: | ffs |
| elliottcable: | What's it supposed to be talking about? |
| Mikael: | http://tr.im/uji?grabup |
| Mikael: | The FUCKING GAME |
| Mikael: | oh shit |
| Mikael: | it's filtered out EVERYWHERE |
| Mikael: | WHAT THE HELL |
| elliottcable: | That picture you sent me, wtf? http://tr.im/ujj?grabup |
| Mikael: | I know |
| Mikael: | I'm asking if you have a filter |
| elliottcable: | Filter for what? |
| Mikael: | The string "The", followed by “Game” |
| Mikael: | with spaces inbetween |
| Mikael: | you saw those, right? |
| elliottcable: | "" + " " + "" == " " |
| Mikael: | FFS |
| elliottcable: | So we're talking about a space? |
| Mikael: | SERIOUSLY |
| Mikael: | no |
| Mikael: | oh wait |
| Mikael: | you didn't see the words af “lost” in my fucking SCREENSHOT either? |
| Mikael: | … you must be trying to fool me |
| elliottcable: | what the fuck? |
| elliottcable: | I have no idea what you're on, dude. |
| elliottcable: | But you're tripping pretty bad. |
| Mikael: | no seriously |
| elliottcable: | Do I need to call denmarkian 911 or something? |
| Mikael: | that's 112, btw |
| Mikael: | and no |
| elliottcable: | then do I need to call that? |
| Mikael: | some weird shit is happening … |
| elliottcable: | Well I dunno you're usually all perfect on grammar and shit, but you're saying weird shit and freaking out <,< |
| elliottcable: | Drink some coffee? |
| Mikael: | okay look |
| Mikael: | I'm sending you a *photo* from my iPhone |
| Mikael: | surely those cannot be filtered |
| elliottcable: | filtered from what? |
| Mikael: | trust me, two words are being filtered |
| elliottcable: | I'm so confused |
| Mikael: | um |
| Mikael: | what's the length of the string "the"? |
| elliottcable: | uh Fixnum 3 |
| Mikael: | how about "The"? |
| elliottcable: | same dude |
| elliottcable: | wtf are you on |
| elliottcable: | seriously |
| Mikael: | relax |
| Mikael: | I'm trying to get to the bottom of this |
| Mikael: | two words are being filtered somehow |
| elliottcable: | bottom of what? |
| Mikael: | how about "Game"? |
| Mikael: | 4 or 0? |
| elliottcable: | the former, are you retarded? |
| Mikael: | no |
| Mikael: | okay |
| Mikael: | Now I'm gonna write "The" |
| Mikael: | then a space |
| Mikael: | then "Game" |
| Mikael: | then an exlamation mark |
| elliottcable: | yeah we already went over this |
| elliottcable: | that's a space |
| Mikael: | The Game! |
| elliottcable: | yep |
| elliottcable: | and? |
| Mikael: | … what? |
| elliottcable: | " !" |
| elliottcable: | Where is this going? |
| Mikael: | FFS |
| elliottcable: | I'm so very confused |
| elliottcable: | I also think you're high |
| Mikael: | okay something is REALLY |
| Mikael: | REALLY wrong |
| elliottcable: | TJ used to act like this |
| Mikael: | I'm not high |
| Mikael: | jI know perfectly well when I'm high, thank you very much |
| elliottcable: | ookay |
| Mikael: | check your email |
| elliottcable: | I'm going to go back to my regexen now … let me know when you're sane again … |
| Mikael: | I am sane, ffs -_- |
| Mikael: | if anything, *you're* not making sense |
| Mikael: | You can see the word “The” right? |
| Mikael: | and the word “Game” |
| Mikael: | then why the fuck can't you see “The Game”? |
| elliottcable: | You're pattering on about the government filtering me or something |
| elliottcable: | And and yes I can see them, if by 'word' you mean 'string' |
| Mikael: | who the hell mentioned the government? |
| elliottcable: | though I wouldn't really call an empty string or a whitespace-only string a 'word' |
| elliottcable: | You should be using StringRay |
| elliottcable: | It's smart, it wouldn't evaluate whitespace or the empty string to a number of words. |
| Mikael: | oh ffs |
| Mikael: | ["T", "h", "e", " ", "G", "a", "m", "e"] |
| Mikael: | that array should contain a bunch of one-letter strings |
| Mikael: | first three with a-zA-Z |
| Mikael: | then one with a space |
| Mikael: | then another four of a-zA-Z |
| Mikael: | does it? |
| elliottcable: | arr.group_by {|e| e } # => [" "], ""=>["", "", "", "", "", "", ""]} |
| Mikael: | what. |
| Mikael: | the. |
| Mikael: | fuck. |
| elliottcable: | one of a single whitespace, a bunch of empties |
| elliottcable: | why? |
| elliottcable: | what teh balls are you on about? |
| Mikael: | look |
| elliottcable: | are we going towards a golfing topic of some sort? |
| Mikael: | I'm sending you an email now |
| elliottcable: | this sounds like golfing |
| Mikael: | of a picture taken by my phone |
| Mikael: | I'm looking at it now |
| Mikael: | and the line after “hey dude” has exactly five words |
| Mikael: | get it yet? |
| elliottcable: | I see three words, I think. |
| elliottcable: | it's blurry as fuck. |
| elliottcable: | http://tr.im/ujw?grabup |
| elliottcable: | What's a "spillet"? |
| Mikael: | okay, that's obviously been photo manipulated |
| Mikael: | And I'm *pretty* sure it's you doing it |
| elliottcable: | I can't believe it took you that long. |
