They definitely still do that Ys So it's not just me that thinks WooCommerce is a twisted, horrible mess?

Before venting this, I will freely confess: I do not understand hooks when it comes to web development with Wordpress. I spent the night trying to make a Wordpress theme to work with WooCommerce, and it has broken me. I'm used to having one weird CSS layout problem to bang my head on per project, but this just confronted me with several dozen of them at once and my mind broke a little. The CSS it defaults to is a giant block of characters, the like of which I haven't seen since the horror of Frontpage HTML in the late 90s. It also does some bizarre things, like setting product image width to "48% auto;". Overriding it with your own CSS, as they breezily explain you can do in their messy documentation, often doesn't work. Disabling Woo's default CSS only takes one line in functions.php, but doing so suddenly throws up many page layout problems. It also builds pages from approximately one billion more tiny PHP files than Wordpress itself, and occasionally makes it almost impossible to tell which bits it's building which pages from without endlessly searching through files by text content. Between its structure, and the Wordpress/Woo back end including some unfortunate dead ends, it's like they took the worst aspects of Wordpress and amplified them. And, fuck it, I'll pay my brother to do properly what I can't, but that's a pretty weird and frustrating feeling. This is the first time in a very long time I've tried something and found I just cannot do it and am not improving.

Yes, I use it with OS X and Windows 7 on a macbook pro, and it's fine on both.

We all totally did that at the last company I worked for. Oh, I cannot believe I didn't put this here until now: A hackspace. I used to rent a 400 square foot studio, split with two other people, for about £240 a month. We didn't have many tools or workbenches, but it was somewhere to work. A few years ago I ditched it to help set up a hackspace, and now have access to all kinds of crazy tools and facilities at a 4,300 square foot workshop and studio, which also basically has a 140-member brains trust for solving problems and teaching skills.

Congrats! Very glad you survived that, and hope you recover quickly Miffy, I hope you end up teaching kids the same age; you've always seemed delighted with it.

Sometimes, I find the flush capacitive scroll bar and double tapping it to middle click are… sub-optimal for games ¬¬ Not so much I want a different mouse though.

Probably too big too fit in he forum layout, so: http://bukk.it/fancybears.jpg

I also use an Arc Touch mouse; it does primarily appeal to my sense of aesthetics, but that it folds flat counts for a lot when I cycle most places.

Yes, everyone get this. I've been playing it on Steam and an iPad mini, and it's easily my game of 2012. Insanely hard, but never feels unfair. After a while you learn to use your peripheral vision and it gets easier. (Same username on Game Center). Helsing's Fire is a nice little puzzle game, and I'll second Mington on Punch Quest too.

No, but we should keep the rumor running.

This was posted quite a while back: I got to watch it over Christmas, and enjoyed it hugely. The reviews are very mixed, but I thought it struck a nice balance of po faced and occasionally silly. It's a very aesthetic film, and kind of like 2001 and an 80's slasher flick mixed together.

When I was about 14, I dismissed comics as shallow pap for other, younger kids, then found Watchmen in my local library and it changed my mind. I'm sure I missed many references, but other forms of pop culture had told me enough about superheroes that I could fundamentally get it and what it was doing.

I think that's a good distinction. There are a bunch of grounds on which you could argue that having children isn't right (environmental ones, for instance), but the fact that they might suffer, raised by fairly privileged people in a developed nation, is probably the most esoteric I've heard.

I actually loved that the first half of season five has Very. It's actually quite hard to do well, I've tried a fair amount of this kind of shooting with mountain bikes and skateboards. Lightweight cameras don't give the best footage, heavier ones are significantly more difficult to mount, and even when you get a really solid mount, sometimes you find vibration fucks all the footage up anyway. The shot where they attached a camera to the kid's BMX bike is particularly shaky.

Sounds like we've adopted exactly the same play style. I'm finding possess really useful to peel guards off from bigger groups too though. With that, dark vision and blink, it's really starting to feel a bit easy on normal difficulty. I'm quite pleased that this runs well on a macbook pro with all of the settings maxed. Call Of Pripyat runs like a dog on the same hardware. Did everyone else find the corpse physics a bit buggy? I noticed once before when I put an unconscious guard down on top of a crate, it made a very loud noise and splattered blood everywhere. It seems it happened again without me noticing; I'm in the middle of a non-violent playthrough, but now have to repeat a Golden Cat mission. I choked everyone out, but the summary screen said one of them was killed.

Bickering is a natural part of the Christmas ecosystem. I had a nice Christmas, in which I made myself not do any work at all. I also got to play Video games for 8 hours straight into the wee hours, which almost never, ever happens. Not even on weekends.

Merry Thingmas, everyone!

At the very end, they'll entice the last of us into riding them around. Then, they will roll over and crush us.

Excellent news subbes

Found an uncropped version:

Sorry, terribly picked wording on my part. The appointment was for me to teach him to do something, not decide whether or not he could be a member, though that's also in progress and to an extent I've been dealing with it. We're not particularly selective, make an effort to be inclusive, and rule one for problems is pretty much that members deal with each other rather than appealing to any kind of authority. It's not the kind of thing where members have to interact if they don't want to. In nearly three years, only two have done anything that required a talking to, and only one prospective member has been told "get out". Touch wood, we've never had to deal with anything truly horrible. If this guy is a dick, people will learn about it, and he'll face whatever consequences that has. Generally, that people would talk to him less and be less helpful. In more severe cases, they might confront him about it. In future, if I interact with him it'll be as a fellow member, rather than someone taking responsibility to interact with a potential member. (I'm trying to be a little vague so this isn't eminently googleable, but to avoid this sounding like some bizarro sex club or something: it's the h a c k s p a c e, of which I'm a t r u s t e e).

Yeah, this thread is funny, but for the most part I find all of this work incredibly exciting to see*. These things were science fiction when we were kids! So many systems are small fragments of humans and other species; recreated, enhanced and understood in ways we definitely couldn't have acheived in past decades. Edit: which reminds me of this Atlantic piece on what exactly a cyborg is: http://www.theatlant...d-cyborg/63995/ *Combat drones: Not exciting.

Thunderpeel and I just spoke for a while, then apologised to each other. He is a lovely man on the phone. We undersand each other a lot better now, and specifically, I understand why he expected me to interpret his remark as wry, and he understands why I could interpret it so seriously. All is well; Merry Christmas everyone Ah, I totally would if he'd been representing them, but he was representing himself to become a member of a non-profit I help to run. It'd be petty of me to block his membership, and he wouldn't be the first difficult member we've had, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on him to see if he makes problems for anyone else.
