Bleh I wanna rewrite my refresh script to use the activitystream but now that Realtime is coming soon, bleh.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:41:06 UTC from web-
@minti I like refreshers so I'm fairly sure RDN will be broke as hell for me as soon as realtime is implemented.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:44:19 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Well I've got realtime running on SBN right now. It'll work like that.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:45:27 UTC from web-
@minti I know. But I'll have both the realtime and RDN refresh running at the same time.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:46:15 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada ... Then you turn the refresher off. XD
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:46:53 UTC from web-
@minti Nope. That would mean less functions.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:47:51 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada How so?
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:48:10 UTC from web-
@minti No customization and no colour BB code.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:49:04 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Those'll still exist. Realtime and RDNPlus are probably going to be brought over at the same time, making refreshers obsolete.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:49:52 UTC from web-
@minti "Obsolete" is a concept that works for coders and other ilks of "evolution whores", but not for me. For me something becomes obsolete when it can be no longer used in any way, not when something new is implemented. Hence why I wouldn't buy a modern car.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:52:48 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada But it will become obsolete though. Like you said, if you keep a refresher on it will explode if you still have it when the site switches.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:54:17 UTC from web-
@minti It'll just be incompatible with the new fancy stuff, not obsolete. It's not the same.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:00:22 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Wasn't that your definition of obsolete though? Unusable?
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:00:41 UTC from web-
@minti Obsolete is sonething that just plain doesn't works. For example an ISA video card is obsolete, because it can't be plugged in modern computers.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:02:10 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada And refreshers won't be able to be plugged into a modern RDN.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:02:48 UTC from web-
@bitshift Do you really think so? I'll manage to make it work.

@gladosenchilada But it can still be plugged into legacy computer, if you happen to get your hands on one. Same theory behind refresh scripts. They work on other sites, just not this one.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:02:54 UTC from web-
@minti But legacy computers don't have the resources to run modern stuff. So they're obsolete in all but a couple areas. I'll just force the stuff to work, like with everything.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:04:22 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Alright then, but if it breaks it's your own problem. :p
Monday, 24-Sep-12 22:05:18 UTC from web-
@minti I know. Worst case scenario I'll just have two rows of BB code buttons.

@gladosenchilada Customization's still a thing, it's just in your options page rather than in a dropdown on the main page. As for colours, there you have a point.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:50:29 UTC from web-
@bitshift But I like how things are now! I expect realtime to kill the page like last time so I'll be able to keep using this.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:54:32 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Actually, RDNPlus did that. XD
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:55:17 UTC from web -
@gladosenchilada Actually, once widget and minti and whoever else helps with the code stuff get the attachments loading like they should, realtime'll be ready to go, unless I'm missing something.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:56:21 UTC from web-
@redenchilada We found a way to do that. Actually, let me go edit the script on SBN to try it out right now.

@minti Also I can freely modify the refresher. But not realtime.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:49:32 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada I'll give you that one though. xD
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:50:46 UTC from web -
@gladosenchilada There's... not really that much you can do to a refresher, though?
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:51:43 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Except make an edit that shows deleted posts rather than deleting them. >________>
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:52:41 UTC from web -
@redenchilada Actually you can do LOTS of things to them. Hell, I modify it without knowing a thing about code, so someone with actual knowledge could do marvels with them.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:53:43 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada But the modifications aren't being made to the actual refresher. You're just using it as a hook to run your own code. You can still run a custom userscript to do stuff like that.
Monday, 24-Sep-12 21:54:46 UTC from web-
@redenchilada But I would need to learn to code properly first. I'm just running on instinct now.
