guess who's back?!

soooo... long story short... i got super ill... like so ill i dont wanna give many details cuz
1. rather not bum you entertaining weirdos out... that'd make this bittersweet.
2. i dont wanna get a bunch of emo comments of best wishes etc

it's fixed, enough, now.

just to be clear, "ill" is not some paraphrasing for mentally ill/unstable/depressed/whatever else may pop into your heads... nor is it code for something like substance abuse/rehab or incarceration, etc... there was definitely entropy at play so it doesnt need more =P

Whalecum back!

@Lensflare lol this site is sooo fked up now... it just told me in notifs that your initial comment was 3hrs ago ROFL

Welcome back. Everything changed.

@awesomeest you should know that mentions don’t work anymore.

@retoor has made a service to collect all mentions into public rss/json.

@SoldierOfCode made a desktop notification service from that

And I have integrated it into JoyRant to frankenstein back mentions into the app.

@awesomeest Huh, what are you actually talking about and i mean it seriously. What? Huh? Seriously, someone that can recall me failing anything, please come forward. I don't.

Edit: but yeah, let's wait until your next post because you have never delivered anything since the day that I know you. Nobody could say such thing about me. Idiot. Jesus christ.

@Lensflare see, toorii seems to think im naïve and havent had much exp building stuff... i mean i totally get why toorii so adorably thinks this...

but here's the subtext of my return...

(you know a lot of this)

i wasnt only sick the past 2 yrs... it was just soooooo long (since childhood) that i literally was so use to dealing with it (on a slowly increasing scale) that i literally didnt know how sick ive been or have literally any clue what it was like to not be quite ill literally all the time... too many things were undiagnosed basically my whole life.

sooo...was kinda operating at 30% capacity tops... i think im probably just hitting about 60ish now... but the curve took a sharp up slope a few times in the past 6mo or so.

the fact i got anything done before is ridiculous... yet i still was doing more than most humans that are perfectly healthy, non-handicapped, etc., do.

so imagine how all the pent up *ooo shiny! i wanna build it*'s are gonna finally erupt out

@awesomeest please do. Here we go.

best wishes

Awesomeest said that she will hack me using a cookie or a email. I told her that it's impossible. People,. dear developers, place your bets now. The deadline is Monday 23:59, i don't care what timezone, pick one. Talking about not delivering. Ffs, every developer on this forum knows that it won't happen because multiples reasons.

So again people, please, place your bet.

@awesomeest I did not read this.

@Lensflare btw... u reminded me... ill offer free hosting for anything with useability to either fix or recreate a better version of this platform... i have the server space, resources (hardware, bandwidth, etc) and ill even donate use of one of my currently spare static IPv4s (got a /28) for at least a year... probably some of my personal IP too... not sure if/what of my company code/IP i can lend yet cuz currently entertaining offers (tbh not sure i wanna accept any... and its def not cuz they arent high enough... just seems annoying)

so lets build some shiny shit! and save our group of oddly endearing, often questionably sane, trash talking, socially obscure weirdos we call home!

...

... i dont really have time day to day to lead the charge (and not a fan of leadership tbh) but i say we should take volunteers, ill grind my actual work like hell if @retoor keeps tolerating near our current level of contact/convos... turns out we have similar sleep schedules, both close to null... and retoors drive honestly motivates me in a nostalgic way that really brings out the *oooo shiny!* of it all.

then ill mod my nearly done ticket system enough, maybe make an smtp server or something better for additional communications, welcome any volunteers to collab... hopefully one will be willing and adept enough for the day to day... and we can build an empire, track and score contributions, i can set up a communal business where valid contributions=shares and votes...

hell ill even pay for a new domain name if we can come up with a good one

and we can build a damn empire!

thoughts? (@anyone/everyone)

@retoor I don't know how to reed. I got the wind instrument knocked out of me. It started with the sax and violins on pbs.

We all know far too well... this ship keeps sinking...

imo let's not keep rebuilding the titanic AND the iceberg while leaving the ownership and crew the same

(also im quite good with creative monetisation ;) )

@Lensflare oh i also know all about toorii's repos... i told you... weve been chatting quite a lot lately... tbh i think toorii and i could be a very dangerous combo... but we can probably stave that off with tons of drinking and grinding shit out... probably should have some mild, unintrusive, oversight tbh...

but hey, nothing's gone boom... at least not yet lol

@awesomeest as @12bitfloat, @jestdotty, @BordedDev I am totally into a devwar (the isspam project). I will join, but first, you have to show me that you are capable of doing one at all by delivering any sign of competence. Before that, I won't invest a second of my time in you anymore after this absurd false accusation. The bet is still on btw, Monday. Deliver this time. Cookies and emails are fucking browser / e-mail client dependend and so on, high ligh level shit tested by the whole world. Stupid statement. I wish you and your hack a long life together.

much confusing fire

Best wishes and hope you are ok. - LOL, doing this on purpose.

Back, back, giirrrll, wikki wikki wikki back (Eminem).

Good to have an awesome DevRant girl back.

Beware the ancients. Concealed traps and pitfalls await the unwary.

@retoor > 'The deadline is Monday 23:59'

...of which year?

> 'Good to have an awesome DevRant girl back.'

You mean to tell us we don't have them, already?

/jk

But yes - never 'too many'.
