Yes. YouTube has a habit of downgrading your Bell if you don't immediately and continuously watch a channel's videos the day they come out.
This damn thing continuously gets turned into a crossed-out one all the friggin time...
That's the problem, thank you!
Bell was not enabled on any of my subscriptions I checked. I've changed it back to on again.

This company does nothing but make those douche-y "team pages" with the headshots of all the developers and a short blurb.
That's all they do.
That's it.
If they are profitable I will be mad.
(Maybe I should do a startup called "LocationListr" which just handles the "find the nearest location to you" part of the website and nothing else. Except my product would require actually interacting with users while this one is just a few lines of static HTML.)

Does anyone else get the impression that there are fewer wireless mice today than 5 years ago? As if we collectively decided they are a bad idea and just went back?
In eight years I have only used one model of mouse so I wouldn't know.

Update: Did it. I am excite. :P
Realized I can't even remember the last time I indulged myself with something, so why not.

I can. It costed $300.

$270, but yeah. I find it unlikely that I'm not going to get an equitable amount of entertainment out of it.

Status: Updated Master server:
- Master Server will now kill zombie level instances
- Unresponsive levels (those that fail to respond to a ping before the next ping request comes in) will be noted in the log.
- Fix minor bug in reporting the two-stage ping.
- New master server interface can now specify target travel instance for transplanting players (requires a single level instance to be selected).
- Removed drag-drop handling attempt from new master server interface. It wasn't working anyways.

Attentive.
That wasn't so hard, actually.

Status: OMG WTF was I thinking?
Instance IDs are obviously not Level IDs. Why did I write it this way?
In theory, under certain circumstances, this could allow a player to travel from a public (i.e. not owned by any player) level to an owned level (so long as it was running), because this will fail:
because InstanceIDs are actually comma-separated ints like so:
1,10,2
.Well, it's a good thing we don't have any owned instances currently available. Or players, I guess. After all, people can't complain about something they're not playing, right?

I didn't test it when I got it but it has been working, as far as I could tell, properly for a year.
I do copy a couple of hundred megs back and forth daily so I've possibly just reached the write limit.I think chkdsk has just recovered the file I needed though. Thank you FILE0002.CHK!

Only psychological scars. I'll never stop cringing when I hear the words 'Simple Fix!'. No it's not a simple fix. We'll have to re-engineer all our fucking templates.

That was a long while ago, I've been a monkey for quite some time now. There was a different monkey for some time but this particular one is only since last week or so.

Because you were trying to encode information about one inside the other during early server startup. Do you not remember your own threads?

I know why the instance ID is a string. I was more pondering why I was trying to turn it into a singular int and comparing it to something not the instance ID.

I'm from Poland. Over here, "morbidly obese" is 150kg for men and 100kg for women.

@pie_flavor 1500 rubber penises and 2000 pussy hats, respectively.

150kg is 4822.61 troy ounces. Or 23.62 stones.

They're most likely less than 100kg, too.
Open Google Maps, find Warsaw, enter Street View. See how many fat people you can spot.
