I see what you did there >.> — Jon Lupen 23:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

*Whistle* — Why 23:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

*looks around like nothing happened* — Jon Lupen 23:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

It's nearly time. When are you going to copy my old page over to your own? :P — Why 23:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, never...... — Jon Lupen 23:58, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Good. :D — Why 00:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

*Waves hand* You saw nothing, go about your business. — Jon Lupen 00:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Now I wish I hadn't removed the "I'm the boom king" part. :P — Why 00:09, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

You win some, you loose some. :P — Jon Lupen 00:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, you have your page back, and I have mine. I wonder how many people did a double-take after hitting someone's user page that swapped today. — Jon Lupen 01:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Tons. So many people swapped. You noticed Brains transcluded poke's page to his own, and then poke altered his own page so that Brains' page read "I smell."? That made my day, poor Pling. :P — Why 02:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I got a good laugh from that, and I'm sure Brians did too :) It's always funny when someone's trick backfires in a harmless but comical way. — Jon Lupen 02:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

FoW

Wolf and I will do FoW later on, join us!...btw Wolf joined too ^^ -- WoB (contribs) 19:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

whoa, awesome! but I can't be on :(( gonna go to a party tonight. maybe my sister (Kaboom U R Dead) will b on. cya tomorrow! — Why 19:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Blood, plan on our FoW run being around 7 CST, I have to be out and about for some various things very soon, and won't be back until said time. — Wolf 20:25, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Ight. Will do, just finishing up this School Newspaper Issue. -- WoB (contribs) 21:34, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Meh I wanna come along! Even though I cleared it y'day =P for the fourth time in two months xD It's great to have you guys btw. Gonna be grand. — Why 23:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

anyone got an opinion? —Why 14:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind. I don't like it. — Why 21:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

you're not allowed to, anyway :P except it they changed the policy since i've left... - Y0_ich_halt 08:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

mm, how is that? it doesn't disrupt text flow.. — Why 09:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"Do not use text animations or effects that cause visual disruption of a text page." :P no, tbh, i think it was in an earlier version where span was in general disallowed, or i just misread something and took it for that ^^ - Y0_ich_halt 17:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll use <div> next. xD — Why 18:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Time

To travel back in time, you first have to figure out how to measure a negative distance, a negative mass, and/or a negative volume. Time is just a human invented measurement. Can you travel backwards in the meter, the gram, the liter? — Jon Lupen 01:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Travel backwards, duh. I do that each day. :P — Why 01:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Backwards relative to what? — Jon Lupen 01:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, suppose I'm walking towards you, I'd be decreasing the distance between us, right? So either I add distance to a negative one, or I add negative distance to a positive one? — Why 01:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) By the way, I'm aware of that what I'm saying doesn't make any sense, I know my special relativity. :P The "Time travel" thingy was just meant to be a really ridiculous idea. It could've been anything. It's mainly a reference to what's been happening here, something about a license change we might be making. — Why 01:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I figured you were just messings around XD

Walking towards me, your decreasing one set of distances, and increasing another set. You can't have a truly negative distance, it may be negative relative to something else, but it can't truly be negative. — Jon Lupen 01:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm gonna go sleep, sorry ;) To keep you busy while I'm gone: What isn't right? — Why 01:58, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

we haven't talked about i and sqrt of negative numbers yet in maths, but i'll give it a try ^^ my guess would be separating sqrt(-1*-1), as with that you make the term (sqrt -1)² (=-1) instead of sqrt(-1²) (=1). can't explain it more clearly, though ^^ - Y0_ich_halt 19:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Correct, sort of. The thing is, seperating (sqrt a*b) into (sqrt a)*(sqrt b) is perfectly allowed when you're dealing with Real numbers, but, because of above sequence, not when you're dealing with Complex numbers. :P — Why 19:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines, but, being the air-head I am at times, I forgot to mention that. X) — Jon Lupen 20:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Time moves neither forward or backwards. Time is the lens of perception. Vili >8< 22:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

use paintshop pro, photoshop, gimp or anything else to add an alpha-channel and then delete the transparent parts. internet explorer doesn't know transparency for .png, though, so if you're using that shit you'll have to change :P - Y0_ich_halt 07:18, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Mm, okay. Using Chrome, dnno how it would show up there. Thanks anyway. :) — Why 12:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

oh, you're willingly supplying google wtih your pc, connection and user data to help them obtain world domination? cool :D - Y0_ich_halt 20:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Sure am. I bet they'd do better than our government. :P — Why 13:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Fix this.

Now. lol (the stupid userbox box keeps expanding over, I want the other box to expand to the other side) -- Halogod35 20:50, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, what is it that you wanna do with it? The userbox box should expand right&leftwards instead of downwards? Or is the "lol" box the one that should be expanding? O.o — Why 21:00, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

The lol box should be expanding and the user box should be stay as size. And the WHOLE thing needs to be 100% -- Halogod35 21:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay :D — Why 21:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

For some reason I couldn't get it to work. xD -- Halogod35 21:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. I removed the divisions, because it makes the code a lot shorter and easier, but if there was a special reason for them to be there just say so and I'll make something more elaborate. And sorry for taking so long, had a high-priority chat on msn. :D — Why 22:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, does that box follow the userboxes? -- Halogod35 22:14, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Downwards, you mean? It's supposed to.. edit: You could also go for the sexy solution and have a scroll bar like here. — Why 22:14, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I meant the lol box. xD -- Halogod35 22:25, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh yea, if you add additional userboxes, the userbox box is gonna expand downwards, and so will the lolbox. Is that what you intended? — Why 22:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

By the way, take a look at this, and imagine I added personal info and a guestbook and other weird stuff to that bar and made all the boxes pop up all over the page. Would it be fitting to use on my main userpage? Just tell me what you'd think of it ^^ — Why 22:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I wanted the lol box to be independent of the userbox, and the other thing is when ever I put in long text, it actually expands the whole page over instead of.. you know, going down to the next line.

And about your thingy, it's cool. You must have some obsession with the expandable boxes. :P The mini game was too easy, when I clicked on it, I already saw the rose right there. (well it was just a box. lol) -- Halogod35 12:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, okay, it still needs some tweaks yea. I should also remember to check out what it looks like in other browsers. And yea, expandables ftw. I still have the ambition to make the most crazy and unnavigatable userpage on this wiki one day. Anyway, okay, I'll get right to work :) — Why 12:44, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Think I've done it now. Both boxes expand independent of one another, and the text goes down nicely. In case you wonder what text I put up there for test, its the first part of w:Metamorphoses. :P — Why 13:03, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Which browser do you use, actually? — Why 13:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Firefag. -- Halogod35 18:03, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

3.0? — Why 18:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Sadly, yes. Now, I have another thing I want you to do on that page again. Can you put a box at the bottom of those boxes and make it expand 100%? -- Halogod35 08:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Nearly missed your message, sure I'll look into it. — Why 19:06, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hehe. The point is, I don't really know what the original poster intended with that line. It looks alright now I suppose. — Why 20:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Who would of thought?

Last I checked, GMs done work for Blade Radio, and perhaps a guest appearance would explain things and could be a source of misinterpretation. Also, goats? — Jon Lupen 01:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay thanks. And yea, goats. Its 3:15 am here and the stupid animals keep on screeching. I thought I lived in a real city! :P — Why 01:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

4 questions comes to mind immediately.

1. Where do you live?
2. Why are there goats there?
3. Why are said goats screeching?
4. What are you doing up so bloody late?

Get some sleep, take care of yourself. — Jon Lupen 01:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Allright.

1. Currently in Gorinchem
2. Because someone apparently thinks its funny to have them as pets
3. Because I, with my somewhat limited English vocabulary, couldn't find the proper word for the sound goats usually make, and I was pretty annoyed with them anyway.
4. Because the bloody goats are keeping me awake.

You're right, I need to get some sleep. Luckily I don't have to get up early tomorrow (today actually). Could you by the way please check out the Featured Pages project for me, and comment on it? I made some major changes there but nobody seems to notice them yet. :P Cya tomorrow. — Why 01:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

1. Perhaps you could teach me something about Holland some time, considering my lack of knowledge about it. :P
2. How are goats funny? Perhaps their owner likes goat cheese, vile, nasty stuff if you ask me.
3. Well, your fooling me. If you said you lived in the U.S. I would have believed you. Your Englsih is better than most of my class mates in my English class.
4. I could come up with a variety of solutions, but none of them are legal, or help you sleep any better...

I'll take a look at it when I get a chance, already straying from my task at hand too much. :P — Jon Lupen 01:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I think that user was referring to the OTHER radio show that was going on at the same time... They're not with blade radio, they were with another one.-- anguard 01:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay, I can understand that. GMs doing shows for Blade Radio just didn't make much sense to me. Do we actually have a Blade Radio article on this wiki? Apparently not, perhaps someone should make one.. another time. ^^ — Why 09:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Nope, its true, I'm from Holland. And keeping goats is not a really common practice here. :P About my English, yea, its allright, but not as good as it used to be. I passed my CPE exams last summer, but haven't really spoken English with anyone since. Because of that both my vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling have greatly deteriorated :/ Its sad really, with these papers, if I take one small course of "general teaching" I'd be allowed to teach English at secondary education here in the Netherlands. And I can't even think of the word for the sound goats make. xD — Why 09:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Know any way i can Pimp my pages a little?

Hi, my page looks a bit Dull, know any suggestions how i could imp it?

Thanks :P

-- Yo Jm 06:40, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Use bright and vibrant colours? The easiest way to make a userpage which looks unique is probably to put a template on it. I got some here myself, I can highly recommend my tabs template, as you can personalize it into whatever look you prefer. Wyn has got a lot of templates as well. I can also give you basic help concerning templates in general should you need that. Do you already have an idea what you want your page to look like? — Why 10:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

"a userpage which looks unique ... template" - kinda contradicting, no? :P well, yo, you made one good first step - you copied my nav bar ^^ (probably from silent storm, but oh well) if you want you can check out my Guide to user page design. - Y0_ich_halt 16:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Templates are a good start, its all about what you do with them ;) And when you're good enough at using them, you can start editing them and writing them yourself. :) — Why 22:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm Ok thanks, i was thinking of a page like Wyn's, But pages can always be simple because Aianne or whatever her name is has a very simple page and it looks nice. -- Yo Jm 05:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

*cough*

So...nothing on my talk page? :DDDD Also wanted to say hi, been a while since I said hi :DDDDD Sentry007 21:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I fail.... I forgot to put the two "==" to make a new discussion...grrr.. Sentry007 21:40, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Mm yea sorry m8 :( Putting most of my time into the featured pages project and revamping my own userpage. Thanks for the reminder though, I'll get working on it again ;) — Why 21:45, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Lol @ the impersonation...it's nice, but do you think it's possibl to pimp out Wyn's talkpage templates? :D And I just might keep the impersonation; thanks for compliment on sig :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Sentry007 19:20, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, the thing is, Wyn doesn't really have talk page templates, and I sort of stole her talk page design to use on your talk page in the first place, you know, the one talk page you didn't really like. :P Any suggestions on the current design? — Why 14:15, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, this might be a stretch, but think we make a NEW page, where it leads to from a nav bar link with chars? And on the char page, it has a seperate link to each char? And for another link in nav bar, maybe it could be like er....I'll get back to you.. Sentry007 19:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

On top of this discussion, Yo Jm's Sentry007 19:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Heh, you mean, you like his page, or he needs my help too? I'm a bit limited in my time at the moment, and I wish I could help him out more, but I simply can't... Well, I could, but it would make a certain girl very angry because I won't have any time left to spend with her. :P So I'm sadly not accepting new major projects until life at university gets a bit easier. I mean, seriously, check out the "to do" bar on my userpage... there are five things on there, of which only your talk page is getting minimal attention atm, and I'm still involved in both the changing of the main page and the featured pages project :/ I'm sorry I can't give your page the attention it deserves, but we'll get it finished, eventually... and please don't feel bad about me saying I don't have much time, I love helping you design your user/talk page, it's just, well, I don't have much time so it's gonna take a while :P I'd love to help you with this new page you have in mind. — Why 21:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

About your talk page, any suggestions on how my draft looks? Do you like it, or do you wanna see some changes? Now that I've got my main draft completed, making some minor alterations shouldn't take too much time ;) — Why 21:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Pssh, you think I really care care about my page? I'd just it looks nice, not caring much when it gets done :D Besides, it's not like I'm playing GW on the wiki...but yes, Yo Jm's page template would be nice ^^. Sentry007 23:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

G1 > PDA

On your rants page I notice you called a G1 a PDA... FOR SHAME! but yer I like wiki'ing from anywhere also... MrPaladin 18:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hehe, yea you're right. I love it. Especially the way it goes "ping" each time someone edits my talk page. :P — Why 18:50, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

PING! yer anyway I downloaded an app for the G1 to replace an incomming call with my sone getting more frantic saying "Daddy you have a Phone call!" hehe I should do the same with talk page messages and stuff, but first I will have to set up my page to look fly... I really don't take much time to do stuff like that MrPaladin 18:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Nice ^^ actually, do you know how to set a custom sound to be used for notifications? I can't seem to figure it out.. — Why 18:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Found a synergy between two free apps.... First is DroidRecord, that'll let you sample just about anything... and you can export any sample to Ringdroid which will let you save anything as a ringtone or as a notification.... I did that for my other son who tells me in his frantic voice that I "Have a message!" MrPaladin 18:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

They were pretty awesome last year. :P — Why 15:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

They sound just as good live as they do recorded. They need to turn up Marco's vocals though, he's too quiet. I would love to fly over and see them some time, but that's not exactly financially feasible for me. :P I guess I'll just hope for a US tour. — Jon Lupen 15:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there a both option? — Jon Lupen 15:26, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I only see one option, and that option is Tarja. Vili 点 23:10, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't think too highly of Anette 'till I saw them live again, she's actually very good. No more opera though. I'll go for "both" as well. — Why 23:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Hearing a band live is almost always better, but when a singer is that crappy, I can't imagine... :( She's not even hot. Then again, I haven't listened to everything. Care to recommend a song/album in particular? Vili 点 04:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Tarja, definitely. Just listen to Siren, those vibratos are not quite the easy stuff. btw, they're going to be at wacken this year, and guess who's gonne be there, too \o/ - Y0_ich_halt 08:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, v nice. I wanna go too but meh, moneyz. And yea, allright, Tarja was better, but Anette isn't bad either. I think you'll have heard the most important songs Vili, as there's just one album with Anette yet (at least, I think there is) so it must be a matter of personal preferrence. — Why 09:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Besides Dark Passion Play, there is a greatest hits album that has a song or two with Anette that's not on Dark Passion Play.

While I would rather see Tarja back with Nightwish, Anette is still good and worth having around. — Jon Lupen 15:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Redirect

Yeah, either way I figured you could do it yourself if you wanted to, so. Also, I seem to recall something like that, was it you can't have something under the mainspace redirect to your userspace? Either way, yeahyeah, you seemed knowledgeable enough to add your own redirect if you wanted one. ~ Ryuu Desu[ Talk|Contributions ] 12:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah yea, don't worry about it. Yo Jm suggested redirecting it to my main user account again in-game, so he did it for me, but there's no way you could've known that. And you're partially right, redirects aren't allowed to the userspace when the redirect itself is not in the userspace. It is allowed to redirect from userspace to userspace. Many users do that, for instance User:Indochine has User:Indo redirect to his main account, same for User:Wynthyst - she has User:Wyn.
