iqon on Apr 20, 2008

Ahoy matey, ye can test code samples in your box 'nd no one be the wiser ('cept the chefs provided ye whisper to ye self).

sloan on Apr 20, 2008

Could be testing for real peoples not zombies

louiemctool on Apr 20, 2008

i zombie...

:)

sloan on Apr 20, 2008

testin not for you then.

louiemctool on Apr 20, 2008

this is not for you!

:)

anti on Apr 20, 2008

y'all need a blog.

louiemctool on Apr 20, 2008

blog? hmm...

nope. this be guaranteed audience...

:)

anti on Apr 20, 2008

good point.

sloan on Apr 20, 2008

it says post a blog, I thought that what we be doing here?????

anti on Apr 20, 2008

naw ye be adding a comment.

louiemctool on Apr 20, 2008

i prefer to think of them as "mini-blogs"...

:)

elnitido52 on Apr 20, 2008

Mini-Blogs = Blogsitos in Spanish...

anti on Apr 20, 2008

I like it.

elnitido52 on Apr 21, 2008

I'd like some fish but being Starfished

sloan on Apr 21, 2008

huh???

elnitido52 on Apr 21, 2008

Hi slonie!

B3llit0 on Apr 22, 2008

I'd think ‘bloguesitos’ would be more appropriate.

So it looks like we can use <tt>HTML</tt> in comments… does the font tag work?

<font>If you have Minion Pro, this ought to be in Minion Pro.</font>

I have tools for inspecting CSS on sites, let's read IB CSS!
Neat, I found admin special controls CSS, the chefs are hiding things from us… they can edit something (presumably blog comments)

<div class="package">I think there's CSS for diamond deliveries</div>

<span class="package">Same thing but with span tags</span>

B3llit0 on Apr 22, 2008

Gah, they don't let you do that.

elnitido52 on Apr 22, 2008

wasting your time...

anti on Apr 22, 2008

you too. :)

louiemctool on Apr 22, 2008

i sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling...

:p

sloan on Apr 22, 2008

take your headphones off louE...

anti on Apr 22, 2008

I run an ad in the local paper and list my phone number. That really works well.

B3llit0 on May 03, 2008

If you've actually done that, you win cake.

iqon on May 03, 2008

ARRRRR, me has won cake b'fore. . .'ceptin' it be a cake of soap 'nd they be expectin' me to use it.

MMMMMMM Cake!

@iqon: "ARRRRR, me has won cake b'fore. . .'ceptin' it be a cake of soap 'nd they be expectin' me to use it."

What? USE the soap? Such cruelty! Such reprehensible, indefensible depths of eeeeeviiiiil... What has the world come to?

I meself prefer an Italian Leather Sofa when going The Distance...

undetected on May 04, 2008

Okay, ignoring it now.

B3llit0 on May 07, 2008

Do you know what I think when I think sofas?

dfs.

anti on May 07, 2008

No thanks, I don't share.

debbye on May 07, 2008

hey … i smell a hijacked thread!

metaljey on May 07, 2008

bad smell? Is that what that odd smell is... a hijacked thread....

anti on May 07, 2008

Well, it is certainly not my lunch, tuna smell good!

debbye on May 07, 2008

there are an acrid aura around …

tho not too bad …

silly in fact!

iqon on May 07, 2008

@B3llit0 - me monkey thinks ye should rename this thread to:
"WET PAINT - DON'T TOUCH!"

misterhaan on May 07, 2008

@miranoriel: “I meself prefer an Italian Leather Sofa when going The Distance...”

personally, i couldn’t care less whether or not you’re an island.

debbye on May 07, 2008

tis getting warm in here …

sloan on May 07, 2008

finger paint?

darkelf2099 on May 07, 2008

im suprised this blog has so many comments even tho the author told everyone to ignore it:)guess none of us can help ourselves

sloan on May 07, 2008

ignore is just a way of saying "the party is here"

darkelf2099 on May 07, 2008

haha yeah true...ignorance is bliss but a party is one hell of a good time:)

metaljey on May 07, 2008

Agreed! :)

B3llit0 on May 09, 2008

XD To be honest, I probably would've done the same had someone else created it.

<img src="http://www.iconbuffet.com/store/products/kyoto/small_preview.gif" alt="Kyoto Testing" />

B3llit0 on May 09, 2008

Bah, no IMG tags.

I found Kyoto and some other sets for free on other sites… not sure how they got there.

louiemctool on May 09, 2008

um, yeah. you should report those sites to the Chefs. that's a pretty blatant violation of the licensing agreement.

oh,yeah. howdy!

:D

B3llit0 on May 10, 2008

I did report them, of course.

Oh, here are some interesting screenshots– every IB icon I have is in Pixadex (which I bought some time ago because I couldn't organise all my icons).

http://www.mediafire.com/?de8bzlybiey

It's worth noting that including the IB icons, I have 5070 icons in Pixadex. Considering that I plan on collecting every single IB icon (which is going to take a while), that's quite small. I wonder how many icons IB has?

B3llit0 on May 12, 2008

Don't let this die, it's too fun.

iqon on May 12, 2008

B3llit0 ye be holdin' a funeral much too early. Once an IB party starts it takes on a life of its own.

      Just open your eyes
      Just open your eyes
      And see that life is beautiful.
      Will you swear on your life,
      That no one will cry at my funeral?

mebenson on May 12, 2008

quite the thread for a post saying "please ignore this" heh

anti on May 12, 2008

I am tired of being ignored. I am going to yell something.

iqon on May 12, 2008

Arrrr, didn't that William Idol fellow sing 'bout that already?
With a rebel yell, She cried more, more, more

iqon on May 12, 2008

Waite, now me remembers it was the British boys that cried 'cuz they be scared:

      Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
      Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
        — "Shout" by Orzabal and Stanley ©1984

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

You should change the monkey in your avatar to a Taipei monkey.

debbye on May 13, 2008

@anti - you isn't ignored!

:-)

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

@anti:

You yell LIKE THIS, not like this. Or are you saving it?

iqon on May 13, 2008

anti belongs to "The Pirates", "IB Hick", and "IB Geek Girls" clans, me be quite certain when anti yells we will all be knowin' it. [queues helen reddy 45]I am woman, hear me roar

iqon on May 13, 2008

@B3llit0 - why you say Taipei for me monkey? Me thinks Osaka monkeys be much more accurate.

sloan on May 13, 2008

huh? I should never fall asleep on the couch. Whats all this ink doing on my face

iqon on May 13, 2008

Sorry sloanie, me monkey wanted to see what ye looked like with hair, so me monkey drew ye a mustache 'nd goatee. Not sure where the rest of the ink be comin' from, ye need to ask the others at the "Ignore-This" party.

debbye on May 13, 2008

is the party still here?

anti on May 13, 2008

If I take a notion to yell you folks will be happy for the warning.

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

My brain produces mostly alpha waves instead of beta waves. This allows me to argue endlessly without raising my voice or yelling at all.

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

I might add that this phenomenon frequently frustrates people who expect yelling replies but don't get them. It's funny, because they can't make me yell very easily.

iqon on May 13, 2008

me monkey can make ye yell with ease. . .a monkey bite to the knee cap make anyone yell. Well most anyone, 'xcepting for people that be havin' wooden peglegs

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

I have mixed emotions about your monkey, iQon.

metaljey on May 13, 2008

should I ignore this "Ignore-This" party?

Just wondering....

B3llit0 on May 13, 2008

Absolutely not; join right in if you wish!

B3llit0 on May 14, 2008

*bump*

iqon on May 14, 2008

@B3llito - "mixed emotions about your monkey

Mixed!?!?! Few people be havin' mixed emotions, most just hate me monkey. Thar be more than one IB party ruined by me monkey.

B3llit0 on May 14, 2008

If you don't keep that monkey under control, I'll have to ask you to remove it from these virtual premises.

anti on May 14, 2008

but...control is subjective.
Next, you will be asking me to do things I don't want to do.

Like use indoor voice.

B3llit0 on May 14, 2008

If you yell, I will have no choice but to declare in a kindergarten-teacher voice that ‘we need to use our inside voices.’ If this is a religious school, then I would have to affix ‘because it's what insert worshipped entity here would do’ to that phrase.

I've never understood why teachers say ‘we’ instead of ‘you’ there.

anti on May 15, 2008

it is because the teacher wants to yell more than you do.

B3llit0 on May 15, 2008

I am satisfied by your explanation, anti.

When I go to the school where my homeschooling program is based, I see first-graders walking back to their classroom sometimes. They always have their hands behind their backs, and I can't help but think that they look as if they're being arrested.

B3llit0 on May 15, 2008

I think we can make it to 100 posts.

Also, when I say 100 I actually mean 100 + b = x, where b is the number of times I've bumped this, and x is the posts that aren't there for bumping.

This post is for bumping.

louiemctool on May 15, 2008

i like to ninja-bump...

:D

B3llit0 on May 15, 2008

You can do so if you own a thread; editing the original post moves it up. Your penguin now has something that vaguely resembles a Russian hat… or is it a ninja in disguise?

metaljey on May 15, 2008

*ponders*

iqon on May 15, 2008

Party blogs always get a hundred-plus post (unless me monkey does sumptin disgusting to break it up).

'nd The Black Eyed Peas already be coverin' bumpin':

      If you're askin' it's the year of the Monkey
      So ba bump ba bump (ohh)

B3llit0 on May 15, 2008

XD…

Have you heard the llama song?

darkelf2099 on May 16, 2008

this is possibly the coolest blog post on IB:)congratulations B3llit0

B3llit0 on May 16, 2008

Heh, thanks. Maybe it'll win one of Louie's awards!

darkelf2099 on May 16, 2008

hmmm...maybe i should change my vote;)

B3llit0 on May 16, 2008

I never expected this to happen, actually. I thought it would be buried under all the other threads once I'd finished testing. Instead, well… the results are before us, aren't they?

"own"?

nope. i can bump any thread, any time.

niiiin-jaaaaaa.....

:)

sloan on May 16, 2008

mixed monkey emotions is a cocktail right?

B3llit0 on May 16, 2008

@Cattya: Yeah, it's called a multitude of fun Unicode characters.

Top ones include Russian lowercase B, reversed R, the phonetic turned A, and Spanish inverted exclamation mark. Bottom ones include a myriad of characters with the word “turned” in their Unicode names, as well as Turkish dotless I, schwa, and the Greek lowercase L.

That's what you get for having an amateur linguist on IB. =P

@louie: Well yes, it's called posting.

@sloan: I wouldn't know, as I'm not drinking age. XD

sloan on May 16, 2008

secret ways of bumping only bumpers know

B3llit0 on May 16, 2008

I found a way to bump anything without any indication of who did it.

debbye on May 17, 2008

gee, for us old folks, the bump is a dance!

and we do dance in the party threads!

iqon on May 17, 2008

ARRRR, me be a pirate but me never learned "The Hustle". At me monkey can really two-step.

B3llit0 on May 17, 2008

Your monkey can two-step?

louiemctool on May 17, 2008

@B3llito: yep. ninja bump thread, leave no trace.

:D

B3llit0 on May 17, 2008

It's really quite easy, isn't it?

iqon on May 17, 2008

Me monkey can two-step, breakdance, and tap dance. In fact be wary if me monkey comes round wearin' tap shoes. ARRRR me firstmate still be steam'd 'bout the marks me monkey left on the mini-barge roof.

What be the big deal 'bout bumpin' tricks? Me monkey know lots of dumb tricks.

iqon on May 17, 2008

No, you put YOURSELF in bold

iqon on May 17, 2008

did ye notice this bloggy reached the century mark?

B3llit0 on May 17, 2008

Yup! ^_^

BTW, Dresden Finance is coming along nicely. I've got two credit cards, the euro sign, yen sign, and I'm working on a coin.

masokist on May 17, 2008

**..~..**

That's as far as I got before they shot me.

B3llit0 on May 18, 2008

Before who shot you, and why?

iqon on May 18, 2008

B3llit0 - me monkey be bold

anti on May 18, 2008

Brassy monkey?

debbye on May 18, 2008

i, too, have heard of brass monkeys!

iqon on May 18, 2008

Me not be talking 'bout Beastie Boys:
   Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey
   Brass Monkey - junkie
   That funky Monkey

Me be talkin' about B3llit0's "David Letterman" comments above. Me monkey went back 'nd made it bold for B3llit0. ARRRR, just 'nother stupid pet trick.

anti on May 18, 2008

He's got a pet monkey who likes
To get drunky and sing boogie woogie
And it sounds real funky
Come on your turn boy
Sing one monkey
Lets hear it for the monkey.

~Apologies to Ray Stevens - 1969

B3llit0 on May 18, 2008

Oh, I've only watched David Letterman three or four times. XD

iqon on May 18, 2008

me monkey went behind your back 'nd bolded your comments.

anti on May 18, 2008

I have no idea what you talking about.

anti on May 18, 2008

OK I understand.

iqon on May 18, 2008

me glad you get it.

anti on May 18, 2008

I get a 500 Server Error on my website too but that don't mean I understand.

adam0ant on May 18, 2008

send me icons please

iqon on May 18, 2008

Me had a Serious Server Error today. The waitress kept ignorin' me empty sarsaparilla tankard.

anti on May 19, 2008

Ouch. That trumps what I got.
