Hmm. Has anyone been caught? -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 19:07, 9 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

They thought they caught the cat, but it turned out to be a swarm of flying pink mice. Or whatever you call a group of those things. Flying pink mice are very versatile, but also very dangerous. Beware.  Flyingcat (meow?)fr: 22:07, 15 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Against my better judgement, I went ahead and restarted the Converter, whereby to forcibly convert our enemies to the Faith of the Rekaizumptive. Oh, the gnashing of teeth shall be painfully audible and glorious. They will beg on their knees for sweet relief. Money shall flow from their pockets into ours. Snowflake will no longer smell like a dog. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 12:47, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
It's not the mice tat did it, is it? -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 20:29, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

Eupocalith[edit source]

I hate bothering you with this again, but Eupocalith can't get is account to work because it is now deactivated. Could you look into when you get the time or get one of the vamps to check it out? @Marzipan (talk) 06:50, 9 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

Please keep bothering me with it. Until we get in a proper fix, it's the only way to get folks what they need. So thank you. I'll take care of it as soon as I sober up. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 18:47, 9 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Again, I'm sorry, but Colonel Sanders is having the same issue. Thanks in advance for looking into it. You have always been such a big help to this site. @Marzipan (talk) 01:24, 14 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Okay, so apparently the damn WMF imbeciles REMOVED all the possible info text around the login form and that's why we're suddenly having this problem. This included the message that told users that this might happen and what to do about it. I'ma try to get that fixed. In the meantime, could you tell people they need to recreate their accounts if they have problems? Still let me know, please, but if they haven't made a new account, there is absolutely nothing I can do as is. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 16:52, 15 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Sure, I'll let them know if the problem comes up. @Marzipan (talk) 23:22, 15 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Excuse my butting in, but do you have any idea why it's possible to recreate accounts under the correct name on Uncyclopedia but not here? If anything, it should be the other way round, since Uncyclopedia, unlike Illogicopedia, still has access to the relevant user tables, so on Uncyclopedia there is no excuse to allow something like, say, this to happen. (The account was created by Cat the Colourful. Now, obviously Spike will never log into that wiki at the rate things are going, but you get the point--it's just an example.)  Flyingcat (meow?)fr: 21:58, 15 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Account creation of that sort is blocked on uncyclopedia because users can import their accounts; that some got past it was due to a bug. On the other hand, importing is no longer possible here, so accounts need to be recreated. Unfortunately the directions telling users to do so were removed in mw 1.23, so we've had some trouble there, too. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 22:49, 15 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

My account[edit source]

Hey Athyria, I've noticed that ever since the server move, a lot of people have lost access to their accounts. I'm no exception, unfortunately. My username is User:Mortalmm000 and I think I've forgotten my password, not that it matters. Complaining to you seems to have worked for other users so hopefully it'll also work for me. 120.56.171.123 14:19, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, the account data was lost - a bit unfortunate since we tried so hard to actually preserve it this time, but when the host won't cooperate, there's not much you can do. Anyway, please go to Special:CreateAccount and try to recreate your account (with the same name). If the same name doesn't work, just use something slightly different; either way let me know when you've done that and I'll then be able to reassign all your edits, any permissions you might have had, and the proper name if needed. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 17:15, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Well, I've recreated my account, but yeah, couldn't do it with the original name. Anyways, you'll know which one it is by the sig, so do whatever you want with it. Mortalmm0rpg (talk) 19:32, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
Agh, that's unfortunate, but good to know. Thanks.
Anyway, I've renamed your account back the way it was supposed to be and reassigned all the edits and stuff. You should now be able to log in as Mortalmm000 again. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 20:11, 17 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)
I am still Colonel Sanderss. --Colonel Sanderss (talk) 00:19, 21 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

Good news, everyone! I converted my sister-in-law to my pseudo-faith with such underhanded finesse that I am wicked proud of myself. She is now an Apprentice Goddess, working her way towards a business degree. When the badgers stop singing, I'm going out for hot and sour soup. Cheers, with love to you and your imaginary cats, LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 01:29, 18 Octodest 2014 (UTC)

Wooof. I have to tell you I'm quite glad to hear this. I'd go on, but I've forgotten what I was going to say. You'll have to speak for the both of us. You, or whoever wanders through. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 06:27, 18 Octodest 2014 (UTC)

P00psicle old account[edit source]

P00psicle wants to know if you can get his old account up and running again. Thanks in advance for looking into it. I hope you are doing well. @Marzipan (talk) 05:23, 14 Novelniver 2014 (UTC)

I would just like to state for the record that I am massively confused at the moment, but also totally on it. Should be done before the day is out. Yes. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 04:28, 18 Ditzimber 2014 (UTC)

Pure, unadulterated praise of you[edit source]

Wow I just now read your Nightmare article and re-read the Ariss pages. Those are really deep stuff...I cant find words for description. Those pages are actually so dreamlike and surreal. Dark yet somehow comforting in the knowledge that this is what we really are deep down. That idea of a dreaming machine (Ariss) attached to some unknown secret government test subject's brain and creating dreams and nightmares...that idea of a Thing That Cannot Be greeting the silent dreamer upon truly Waking...that's just deep beyond words, deeper than even conscious thoughts.

I'm not being sarcastic or illogical this time...you are an utter, extreme genius to have been able to write this.

Lord Assbutt the Fourth |Talk to meh|BOINC! 11:40, 6 Jeremy 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, man. Those two ain't all me, though. Ellemerr wrote most of the Nightmare one, as the dreamer that she is, and the Ariss was built up of pieces of a bunch of things several folks wrote. But perhaps that's how the best things come about - people collaborate, build off each other, make new and amazing things not by trying to keep everyone out, but by throwing what they've got out into the world for everyone else to use, too. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 23:52, 6 Jeremy 2015 (UTC)
On second thoughts you also seem a kinda scary guy. I found out your site of artwork thru searching for Ellemer and they are, to put it in a word, coldly alien...deep and darkly beautiful but alien. This is scary. Woah.
Lord Assbutt the Fourth |Talk to meh|BOINC! 14:16, 7 Jeremy 2015 (UTC)
Scary? Cool! Thanks, man! We aim for... lots of things, really, but scary is always a good one. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 20:34, 7 Jeremy 2015 (UTC)

This coming harvest looks to be grand. My son keeps showing me pics of the plants, because I can't make it up the stairs most days. The small bud leaves look like someone covered them with sugar crystals, a sure sign of high potency. So, I've been thinking happy thoughts about you, and hope this missive finds you hale and well met among your selves. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 17:06, 13 Arply 2015 (UTC)
Maaaan. That sounds awesome. And yay for pictures. The missive finds me split in twain and wondering where they all wandered off to, but aaaay. Also I might be in what might be your area sometime in may. I dunno, but if so, would you and your cats tolerate an invasion? -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 22:42, 17 Arply 2015 (UTC)
Eep! No, the cats would never tolerate another cat. Even a bobcat. Frunobulax even less so. Make a wish, punch a fish. How's Wikia treating you? Can you get me a consultancy there? Will they pay me in wiki tokens?. I miss your "interesting" contributions and your blindfolded face. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 13:02, 18 Arply 2015 (UTC)
Aww. Maybe they need an acclimation. Ordered any office chairs lately? Wikia ain't treating me anyhow. There's not exactly an avoidance in order, but I'm pretending to be a wikipedian these days while in reality doing basically nothing. It's good fun, and sorry for being lazy, but laaaaazy. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 20:21, 18 Arply 2015 (UTC)
As kaizum-meister of this here property, I have declared a moratorium on all immigration. No more mammals! By doing nothing, do you mean doing nothing productive or nothing in the sense of Zen nothingness? And please don't apologise for being lazy. I reckon that I am lazier than you. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 03:33, 19 Arply 2015 (UTC)
What about plants? I'm... uh... sometimes I make things that make other people productive. So I have no idea! The plants all think I'm terrible and killing them, though. With laze. LAAAAAZE.

If that's your vision of sodomy, then yes, by all means do so.

Unclassified document[edit source]

This here document is unclassified because it's simply a declaration of my love for those parts of you that are insane. Not that I don't respect your sane parts. Some of those are downright sexy. (shit... hope that didn't come out as creepy, being a geezer). I tried shipping a grizzly bear to you last week, but the guy at the post office told me I couldn't, because all I had was an email address. They wouldn't even post it on your talk page. Outrageous. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 02:49, 25 Arply 2015 (UTC)

What? Never! I was gonna do just the same, but the bear ate everybody in border control and now he has been placed in a zoo. Nevermind, here's a picture:

An Appeal From the Xappa[edit source]

Hulloes! I was told by the good User:XY007 to appeal to you to return me my User:Xappa account. I have been without it for many a month and year. It seems I was lost, as the swimming antelope often is, in the great Illogicopedia changey thing that happened not too long ago. Anyway, it would be great if you could get back to me on dat sometime. Tank ewe, and goode nyght! I have sleepies. --98.179.5.140 06:00, 11 Aym 2015 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. I just need you to make a new account and poke me here, and then I'll rename it back to 'Xappa' (if needed) and reattach your old edits and stuff to the new one. Also, if you try making recreating it with the same name directly, please let me know if it doesn't work. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 16:25, 11 Aym 2015 (UTC)

Marzipan told me to talk to you[edit source]

Could you make plainlinks actually plain? So sourcecode a page with a link and then add the code to MediaWiki:vector.css with the selector .plainlinks a. think u can do it? Iamawesome  T | C | U  18:11, 14 Aym 2015 (UTC)
OK, becuz j00 are lazy then heres the code for vector skin:
.plainlinks a {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #0645ad;
    background: none
}
.plainlinks a:visited {
    color: #0b0080
}
.plainlinks a:active {
    color: #faa700
}
.plainlinks a:hover,a:focus {
    text-decoration: underline
}
I use vector but when I can then I'll check it for monobook too, cuz noone uses modern/cologneblue anymoar. Iamawesome  T | C | U  13:53, 15 Aym 2015 (UTC)
Ello? Can j00 hear me? monobook's link color scheme is the same of vector's. Therefore you can coopy it straight into MediaWiki:common.css. JUST DEW IT!!!! Iamawesome  T | C | U  18:46, 16 Aym 2015 (UTC)
I hear you. It's just we rarely get users wanting us to change something to the skins. It is not exactly a problem that gets brought up. Also, I'm not exactly the most skilled tech guy at this site. Athyria usually handles the codes and whatnot. —Marzipan (talk) 05:30, 17 Aym 2015 (UTC)

Aaagh, what, this seriously confused me. Quit just quoting things and dumping the entire thing here! I mean, it makes sense in theory, but I keep looking at the timestamps and thinking the server's exploding before finally realising what's going on.

Anyway, as for the topic itself, the css that would accurately do as described would probably be as follows, placed in the relevant css pages:

/* Vector */
.mw-body .plainlinks a.external {
	color: #0645AD;
}
.mw-body .plainlinks a.external:visited {
	color: #0B0080;
}

/* MonoBook */
#bodyContent .plainlinks a.external {
	color: #5A3696;
}
#bodyContent .plainlinks a.external:visited {
	color: #002BB8;
}

But do we really want to do that? The 'plain' here seems to be referring to the decoration being removed; just because we don't want the decor for whatever reason doesn't mean we don't want people to still be able to tell it's not an ordinary link. If we want to stealth the links for whatever reason, too, shouldn't that perhaps have a different class? -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 06:13, 18 Aym 2015 (UTC)

Hm.. maybe... yeah lets just make a 'ninjalinks' class so we can I'll batch up some CSS to make all external links that point to http://en.illogicopedia.org/(whatever) look internal. Iamawesome  T | C | U  13:15, 18 Aym 2015 (UTC)
Here.
a.external[href^="http://en.illogicopedia.org"] {
    /* code */
}
Iamawesome  T | C | U  13:33, 18 Aym 2015 (UTC)
Done. Probably. May take some time for the caches to update. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 18:54, 18 Aym 2015 (UTC)

Knee jerk reaction to having seen your sig a little while ago[edit source]

So, I miss you. Not as much as I'd miss my wife, were she you, and I I. Then I never would never have met her IRL, nor she, I. After 31 years of wedded bliss, which somehow wouldn't have happened until maybe 2008, I'd miss her something fierce. Not to in any way detract from the qualitative and quantitative attributes of how much I've missed you, of course. I think of you fondly, as I think of a friend I lost touch with long ago. She, in some ways similar to you, was a pistol. I think that means like, a live wire, or a crack up or something.

Too bad I'm too gimped up for Boston ComiCon this year. Of course, I'd only go if they were doing the Aqua Teen thing. I'm not really interested in comics.

So, I've begun to cook Asian again. It's a thing I used to do, a phase that my family would endure. Actually, they've always said they liked my Asian inspired cooking, and it does get better every time I go through the phase. This time, though, it's serious. I cooked a dish which I thought was delicious. First time I not only liked it, but enjoyed it immensely. Been experimenting a little, using fresh ingredients... got three solid fans... things are happening... in my elbows, in my amygdala, my pinkie fingers... no flatulence involved, thank the gods... no porn either.

So, bring chairs and hard ciders, and I'll show up. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png(kaizum me)Plant2.png 05:20, 3 Jumbly 2015 (UTC)

It's like old home week for weirdos... I'm loving it. Not McDonald's, certainly. Not after my last bout of food poisoning at Burger King. Cheap food indeed. All that crap is right out for me. I'm on a cooking thing lately, anyway. A fascination with Southeast Asian foods, as I like them. The restaurant I used to favor claimed a cooking style similar to good quality outdoor stalls you'd find in the bigger cities in that part of the world. I made a pretty good nam prik aung, sort of Thai style. I was pretty happy with it, as was my wife who loves this food as much.

I just read your article: Madness.[edit source]

I absolutely love the way you transcended the concept of madness that really hits that note of insanity in such a deliberately worded manner. I read it again and again, comparing this to a philosophical work of sorts. I know I sound like I reviewing a book or essay, but the way madness was worded and structured after you came in and made it... It was brilliant. I don't think my philosophy teacher could create something like that for the sake of illogic and insanity. The macabre, the darkness, the chilling-ness...

First off, do you have any idea as to what in God's green earth this piece of code is supposed to do? The most I know is that it's Unicode because of the "string.fromCharCode.apply" part, but other than that, it looks like coherent nonsense.

I'm actually fearful of what it would be. I found it here whilst browsing the internets, and now that I think about, the fact that this piece of code has is on its own webpage seems to make it a bit shady.

Person way smarter than I am has answers:

[02:30:03] <wctaiwan> so it's some kind of coding challenge thing
[02:30:15] <wctaiwan> obfuscated, obviously
[02:30:43] <wctaiwan> String.fromCharCode.apply(null, ('657478737846826968796745837447475880848472'.match(/.{1,2}/g))) is equivalent to String.fromCharCode('657478737846826968796745837447475880848472'.match(/.{1,2}/g))
[02:31:05] <wctaiwan> '657478737846826968796745837447475880848472'.match(/.{1,2}/g) is a regex thing that returns an array of numbers that map to ASCII character codes
[02:31:17] <wctaiwan> which the function then turns into 'AJNIN.REDOC-SJ//:PTTH'
[02:31:33] <wctaiwan> the rest is fairly trivial. Do a bunch of string ops to decode the URL.

I was legitimately hoping that this code would have had far more meaning to it than a stupid gimmick for hiring JavaScript people at a content marketing company.
I'm really, really sorry for wasting your time (if I did, that is). I really thought the code would bear more meaning to it than it actually does. I guess my budding interest for coding got the best of me (even though I don't know the first thing about JS except recognizing its structure).
Erm, one more thing: Seppy has got me on a edge a bit. S/he said that s/he'll "round up the illuminati to pick a suitable number of victims for the hat" after (please don't judge me) I requested to become admin. I provided a rather lengthy and logical rationale as to why I should be admin (and it's definitely not to be cool and above regular users; go here to see my true (albeit benevolent) intentions of adminship), but so far there hasn't been any sign of an attempt to do so.
Later on, Hindleyite told me to report to his office immediately. He said he liked my spunk, whatever the hell that means.

Dude, learn code. js might be a good place to start just because there is such a huge market for it, but do you know any projects you'd like to hack at/contribute to? If so, clone their code and try to do stuff to it! They might be able to help you, too. Like mw could always use more stuff. I dunno how old you are or stuff, but there's also official-like programs for people to get money and mentorship...
And, er, if you do stuff and aren't apt to ruin anything, adminship is a reasonable request, especially as it's needed anyhow. But they'll sort it out. Just let them. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 23:55, 12 Arply 2016 (UTC)
Could it be an online summer job of sorts once I become better at HTML and CSS before I can move on to JavaScript? I mean, I'm 15, so I'm not free to do whatever I want (especially on the internet of all places). It's just like when I realized there's summer jobs at Amoeba Music in Hollywood but I have to be 18+ and very very well-rounded in music. VERY well-rounded. At that moment my dreams of being surrounded by millions of CDs, LPs, movies, books, graphic novels, music posters, rare musical items, band shirts, occasional live venues, and amazing people were all crushed and thrown into oblivion. Working for MediaWiki, however, sounds fantastic.
I have been doing a ton of HTML and CSS copypasta here in Illogicopedia. I also mess around with it, learning basic inputs in the process, but probably not the full extent of it, since the HTML of the WikiSphere is a slightly more simplified version than the original HTML developed for making basic websites (which I would use little of; I'd use Ruby instead if I knew it).
Due to your encouragement, I've returned to Codecademy for my HTML classes.

Yay! And, well, there's google code in sometimes, which is for high school students-ish. Once you hit university you could do a GSoC project. I dunno about jobs, though. Never was any good at that stuff. You could get more well-rounded if you try with anything, potentially.
In general for mw this category is full of pages that should be good for getting you started: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:New_contributors Working with existing code should be a good way to learn, too, since you can both copy&paste and also just see what other people did already.

It would free up one of your arms to manage corned beef hashing, and that would please Frunobulax. Please reply within three weeks in order to ensure your eligibility for the booby prize, which is unrelated to breasts or birds. Embrace your inner crocodile and live the dream while dreaming.

All I can really say for sure is that without a proper installation of goats, no amount of other organisms can resolve the underlying shrubbery problem. Is it a booby trap or a booby moose? 63.228.68.41 15:34, 30 Arply 2016 (UTC)
It it, in fact, Moose Boobies. Underlying shrubbery aside, perhaps one or more of these natural wonders of natural engineering may become the base of an article... in fact, yes, it will. 50.153.134.99 23:27, 30 Arply 2016 (UTC)
I fed the shrubbery coffee. I sort of apologise, but only sort of. If it gets too big we can install a goat shrine, I suppose?

My dad was first generation French-Canadian, so he didn't learn to read English until he was 18 when he joined the Air Force. He'd invented or borrowed words over the years, and for laughs, would imitate the priests doing the old-fashioned Latin mass, except instead of Latin, it was gibberish... albeit gibberish some people mistook for a real language. I can't do it justice, but suffice it to say it was hilarious. One of his favorite non-words was "strogatz". Another thing he'd say when he'd warn you not to strain yourself picking something up was, "don't pull your guts". Between my brother and I, it became "gatz". Yesterday I texted my brother, saying I'd pulled my guts hunting mastodon. Today we discussed what to do with the hide. We agreed it would make a great covering for Japanese tatami mats for flooring.
So he kept the non-words and reused them consistently? That takes skill. Did he have stories? Would he tell them half in gibberish for effect? Why mastodon in particular? You bring those up a lot. -A
Anyway, a guitarist named Pat Metheny did an album called, "As falls Witchita, so falls Witchita Falls"... not my favorite, but definitely a top ten album name IMHO. That's where the title for this section came from; an amalgamation of my dad's "wisdom" and that title. I am in the market for a new computer, an Apple, since I can do it. I've been using an ancient Macbook, which is to say, I haven't been online much because it's unbelievably slow. After I get my new one, I will probably hang out on IRC, since it will be new and fast. I've put "stalk Athyria" on my to do list. You have been warned.
Yay, new computers! I was looking at apples, but they didn't meet my needs either. But what I have works. Working is really useful. Not slow too. Name it something wise. -A
I miss our weirdness, actually. My wife misses me talking about it too. I've been forced to make a new friend in meat space out of desparation. Fortunately, she's a weirdo too. But you, my dear, have a special place in my heart, and the only other thing which could possibly fill it would be a Jaguar coupe... possibly a Godin synth guitar. In either case, I simply won't spend the money even if I could. I guess that would make you a luxury item.
Weirdness is a luxury item. It's also, sometimes, a necessary one. But we need luxury in our lives. It's how we stay sane. I recommend the guitar, if it comes to it. Less likely to get you killed. Less likely to depreciate in value. Though I have heard nice things about jaguars from people who really pronounce the 'u'... -A
Another thing my dad would say, meaning to pour paint through a paper filter with a screen when it's been opened before to get the particles out... he'd say, "scream the paint". So my brother would bend over the paint can and yell at it. When he was really pissed off at a guy, he'd call him a "cot sucker", to which I added "feather belching". See you soon, hopefully.

A major issue[edit source]

An anonymous vandal has created an article that is literally 627,200 bytes in size and consists solely of the word "poot." Because it is of an immense size, it made my laptop crash when trying to QD it and slowed down its speed upon restarting.

The article is titled (DO NOT CLICK) Poot lavato and it is by far the absolute worst piece of vandalism i have ever seen.

Is there anything you can do (or, do you have technology fast and powerful enough) to 1.) open up the article and 2.) get that piece of cancer out of Illogicopedia once and for all? It would be greatly appreciated and save other users from having their computers crash. Addiotionally, this is the IP address of the vandal I mentioned: 168.169.220.16. Please ban him/her INDEFINITELY because we absolutely cannot risk having this IP return again... the admins have been too lenient in banning lately. Please do this ASAP. 2+2=5 SPEAK TO ME, ILLOGIAN!

Hello again, love. Personal wiki, eh? May I see it? The older granddaughter moved out, and we're still lacking for space. Considering an addition in back. Sister Zim_ulatrix almost died from sudden onset of diabetes a couple of months ago, but is doing great now that she uses insulin. That was nuts. I've been feeling somewhat poorly myself, but we have a new doctor, and therefore, hope. Our last one, I swear, was trying to kill us. He had Sis on 3 blood pressure medications for no reason, so now it's higher than it used to be. So, money for not working? Email me and tell me how! Cheers.

Personal wiki: It's full of bad writing, miscellaneous crap, and game stuff. Also it's sort of my portfolio/resume once you account for the fact that I don't have a real portfolio/resume (which is probably my main problem in the getting a job department).
Don't you dare die, dammit! You're too crazy to die! Also, er, wow. Sounds a bit like my dad's dentist, frankly, although she's just a dentist. I don't know why he goes to her.
The plan is simple: I don't get a job, I just get funding to keep doing what I would have been doing anyway, with the added promise, because I now have funding to do it, that I will now actually reliably do it instead of randomly wandering off for a year in the middle of it. Like what happened last year. I'm trying to redo the interface for all of Wikimedia, see. So if the Wikimedia Foundation sees the value in this work and agrees to fund it (I wrote up a big arse grant proposal formally asking for funding and everything), it will totally benefit them. Maybe. Of course I may also just be trying to do this out of pure spite. Reports vary. I don't even remember anymore.

Hello, Athyria. I'm just swooping in to report that my user page is acting up. Whenever I try to load it, it is completely blank. Not even the wiki stuff or wikilinks pops up; it's just BLANK. At first it was completely black, so I simply checked to see if the CSS was incorrect. But then I realized that I don't know crap when it comes to CSS. So, super intelligent me decides to delete the CSS altogether, and thankfully that didn't exacerbate the problem.

But it could've been my CSS.

And it's also good too, additionally. Better than okay is a good and admirable goal, and we hope for that in earnest. If I take your meaning, okay would be okay as well, too, in addition to also as well. Okay.

Can Gruntled grunting constitute music, and if so, could a grunting solo be something to write home about?[edit source]

When Gruntled grunts, the world grunts with him. I wrote about this in a forum but since you’re in my circle of loved ones (the only one I’ve never met in person), I want to tell you personally. Last time we talked about it, Music wasn’t really a thing for you. I’d mentioned that I compose music but had nothing produced. Well, it’s finally happened. I’ve released 4 tunes as part of an EP I call “Turbulent Crossing”. They’re located at http://denislarose.bandcamp.com . You can get 10 free plays of each of my tunes, see how I dress during the Christmas season, see a sketch of me in the style of a happy Buddha, find out the title I used to “impress” people when I was in the Air Force living in Okinawa, a pic of Frunobulax and a picture of the late, great Evelyn A Modified Dog.

Hope you are doing well. Take a minute to catch me up here or at zimulator@icloud.com. Cheers! Denis

‘’’P. S. Warning: this is about me being sick, but the ending is sweet and I’m cured.’’’

I had another adventure at the hospital recently, but this time I came home with the turns out I’ve had chronic intermittent appendicitis for 30 years, and the solution was an appendectomy. Coincidentally there was pneumonia and strep throat in the house the week prior. So appendicitis was only part of my problem. I also had pneumonia and skyrocketing blood pressure. The back and neck pain were unusual only in that it was much worse than my normal daily experience. The hospital staff took excellent care of me and I came home after 4 days, pretty quickly for how sick I felt.

I feel like a different person. I enjoy eating, something I hadn’t realized I was losing interest in. I feel stronger, have energy and can do more physically. Things have been getting better for us. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png(kaizum me)Plant2.png 20:13, 22 Octodest 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so here's the thing - I am really, really bad with audio. I will actually check that out... at some point, but as was, it took me over a month to even get around to resuming my vlc autoplay on my computer which has speakers on SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT. It's entirely possible I'm depressed. Or maybe it's just a side effect of getting way, way too sick for entirely too long, but I really don't know. Point being, I am alive and things will happen, and as I recall you have the most peculiar tastes and I can't promise I won't just run off with things. Or stuff. Or dogs. You have the nicest dog. Are there stories, too?
And hey, we had a giant bout of strep too! Apparently I caught it on a plane. Avoid planes. They're terrible sickness festerers.
Also that is absolutely wonderful news. It's so nice when things just get solved. Less so when things get 'solved' and by comparison it really is an improvement, but no, you're still too sick to actually do anything and good gods stay away from people. Seriously, I thought I was cured earlier and I wasn't. But I could actually eat food again, and stuff! I could remain upright for more than an hour or two per day! Obviously that meant I was well! Then I gave all my friends the lovely gift of sick and it turned out that... no. Not well. Not strep anymore, but not well. You sound actually well. I think I'm well now. I hope I am. I'm not sleeping 12 hours a day anymore, at least, but then again I'm also having a hard time staying asleep six, and that's not helping matters either. Improvements, though. And food. Food is so damn important. Unless it's beetloaf. DO NOT MAKE BEETLOAF. I REPEAT: DO NOT BAKE BEETLOAF. I made it last night and it tastes of soil and broken dreams and death. It is one of those rare things in this world that I would classify as vile - truly, unequivocally vile. And I am not someone who even believes in concepts such as evil and the like...

I suppose if I can cut my granddaughters some slack, I can do the same for you, beloved. Shit. People may not realize how I throw the word "love" around when talking with people I love. We know I'm not expressing romantic love here, but rather an expression of my weltanschauung; others may take it to mean I'm a lecherous old codger hoping to talk dirty sexy to young ladies. Meh. What the hell... if my eccentricities bother anyone, so be it.
Twoandtwoalwaysmakesafive gave me excellent feedback, and some family members liked my tunes or at least appreciated them for the work that went into them. My biggest surprise was from my goddaughter. She's about 22 and a music lover, but I don't know her taste well, so I only know that she loves my music. I know that you're not a big music person, or were when we talked about it some years ago, so I thank you for your efforts in advance.
Hope you and yours are well. Please catch me up when you have the time, and I will do likewise. Cheers/1 LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png(kaizum me)Plant2.png 09:17, 26 Octodest 2017 (UTC)
Love is a great word that should be thrown around. I love you too. In the sense of adoration, and wishing all well, and love. We make our weird circles, don't we? Sometimes a bit of lechery can be fun, too, of course. We all maybe remember un:Filial Piety, after all... which wasn't so much funny, as just ridiculous in terms of how many times TKF kept renominating it. Man, that was a strange place.
Soon. Probably. I'm behind on like fifty different things and currently in a starbucks being powered solely by whipped cream and espresso WHOOOOOOO. And I just failed to even stand up. Anyway. Actual feedback generally is useful, yes. I also like the regaling with all the stories of feedback, so please keep pestering me with more of them as a reminder, or something. Or just stab me. That might work too. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 21:42, 17 Novelniver 2017 (UTC)

Important discovery I made pertaining to the Blanker[edit source]

Turns out our vexatious vandal does not rely on a proxy. I was checking if the past few IPs that you blocked that called themselves the Blanker was part of a proxy server using this cool thingamajig, but they didn't show up as belonging to a proxy server. So, I decided to use this other cool thingamajig and found something interesting: it seems like our vandal has relocated from New South Wales, Australia, all the way over to the eastern coast of Florida, USA (here and here, so far). The first IP that I listed is from Melbourne Beach, and the second IP is from Cocoa... both of which are in the same exact county.

Given my discovery, do you think you or someone else could ban the IP ranges of Brevard County, Florida? It is not a substantially large area (1,557 sq mi/4,033 sq km), and it could at least slow down our vandal (unless he moves on to the five other surrounding counties, as seen here).

P.S. sorry for the plethora of links. I hope viewing them won't take up much of your time.

I hope I was helpful in some way. 2+2=5 SPEAK TO ME, ILLOGIAN! Past accounts of sodomy RAVENOUS AND RUTHLESS CAPITALISM The greatest article in the history of Illogia! 03:11, 1 Novelniver 2017 (UTC)

I have a gut feeling with absolutely no solid evidence that the Florida guy is a copycat. CG098 (talk ₪‎ contribs) 04:11, 1 Novelniver 2017 (UTC)
I can definitely see why you would posit that unfounded claim. They (Ivo and Blanker) both utilize the same vacuous "I WILL DESTROY YOUR WEBSITE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" kind of talk, but I do notice very slight variations in the way the Blanker uses that type of expression. However, that could just be me unknowingly becoming subject to confirmation bias. Or, it could just be Ivo trying to make imperceptible changes.
There is still an issue: if one were to look back far enough into Recent Changes, that person would find that the Blanker emerged three days after the most recent Ivo account was blocked. User:Ovi was created on October 22nd at 22:07 server time. User:The Blanker was created on October 25th at 18:56 server time. For the past week, we have ceased to see activity from Ivo and instead saw activity from the Blanker. However, they both display very similar, if not identical mannerisms and usages of phrases whenever they make edit summaries, so from this, I can conclude that the Blanker=Ivo.
There is still a prominent detail that I discovered that could still make things inconclusive, and it is this: Ivo's anonymous edits came from Australia, and now the Blanker's edits come from Florida, USA. Given that the IP addresses utilized by the Blanker were not a part of a proxy server, from here I can posit these two temporary conclusions: either the vandal took the time to relocate from one side of the world to another (dude probably has no life to attest to), which is improbable, or I still have insufficient evidence and therefore need to look into Ivo's IP addresses and verify if they are indeed associated with a proxy server, which is highly probable.

I ate elk for the first time yesterday[edit source]

It tasted very much like beef, except the distinctive flavor of beef is a little bit more pronounced (but not as much as it would be in bison or sometimes even lamb chops) and there is a very subtle gaminess to it that can be described as being more of a somewhat fishy taste. And it's the good kind of fishy. Then again, I'm not a food connoisseur and I've never had a gamey meat (well, I've had goat, but it was cooked in a delicious stew with many flavors, so I could not taste the goat itself), but in the end, it tasted delicious. This was not too long after I saw Thor: Ragnarok, which is indeed an excellent film. I recommend you go see it. There's even a cameo experience by Matt Damon and one of Hemsworth's brothers in a scene.

Also: thank you very much for the adminship. I came here after finishing breakfast (two fried eggs over hard, a slice of queso fresco, and some leftover rice), which I guess could be considered brunch since I woke up at around 11:20. I promise I will be diligent in carrying out my new responsibilities, and that the vandal will no longer pose a more prevalent threat.

Elk is lovely, like reindeer. They all have their own flavours, but at some point I completely lost the ability to describe them. If I had yak again I'm probably just say it tastes like yak. When I had reindeer it stood out more how it was prepared than what it even was. It was all fancy-like! You go to norway and boil your lamb in a giant pot, and then the danes go and do weird fancy slivery things with their reindeer? They're danes! Where'd they even get it?!
I dunno. Goat stew sounds great. We need more food, and you are not the first to recommend that film, either. Unless you were, and the other person was second? I've kind of lost all track of time. I'll just watch it later, when I have money, but I'm glad they apparently did a decent job.
As for the adminship, note that you should also have checkuser rights, so go ahead and... get very confused by it. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 21:49, 17 Novelniver 2017 (UTC)

The main page is invisible to anyone who is not logged in, and has been for a couple days.[edit source]

This is has also been reported on Gruntled's talk page, because he's an admin who was active recently.

When I'm logged in everything's fine, but when I'm not logged in, while the internal pages still display properly, the main page is showing this:

Broken-for-logged-out-users.png

In the course of trying to determine what was broken (and whether it was really broken) I checked it with Opera, Firefox, and Seamonkey, and checked it from Canada and the United States, and tried it from a system where I work as well. And tried it with and without a VPN in the way. In all cases, when not logged in I just got the error screen.

This has been seen by one or two other users as well, so it's not just bad karma on my part.

I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I'm rather at a loss who it should reported to. Snarglefoop (talk) 04:16, 29 Jeremy 2018 (UTC)

Dammit. Okay, so when this happens, it's because of bad caching site-side - essentially someone ran into an error page and because the cache is completely stupid, it randomly decided to save THAT version for long-term serving to IPs and stuff so as to avoid having to re-render the page, as opposed to an instance of the actual page. To fix it, do a null edit (action=purge isn't enough): open the page for editing and save. You may need to add a random space or something to the end of the line. Whether or not it actually changed meaningfully, this tells the server 'yo, page changed, recache'. -— Athyria User talk:AthyriaUser talk:AthyriaUser talk:Athyria 17:39, 4 Farbleum 2018 (UTC)
