What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Gamer/Computer Nerd
 

You enjoy the visual stimulants of a video game, chatting on AIM, or reading online comics. Most of these types of nerds are considered dirty who lack hygeine, of course they always end up being the ones who make a crapload of money. And don't worry, that's just a stereotype; I'm not calling you dirty. ^_~

I got bored!

"In a nutshell, it probably uses different languages. I for one would not expect to see Asimo running from JavaScript or HTML."

The First Ning Scrabble Tournament of 2012

The brainy and the bored came together today to pit their wits against one another in the name of words. That's right, we played Scrabble! There were 12 entrants in total, divided into (if my maths is correct) three groups of four.

The top two players from each game then progressed to the next round, where two games of three people took place, with the winners of those going head to head in the final.

Here are the results.…

From NaNoWriMo to NiNoCoDa

With NaNoWriMo just a couple of days away, I decided that novelists shouldn't be the only writers having all the fun. I'd like to introduce NiNoCoDa, or Ning Novice Coder's Day. From now on I'll be running this on the 30th of October every year, so just before NaNo kicks off.


The aim of the game is to think of something that you think would look cool on the Ning, and to have a go at creating it. You're limited to 500 lines of code, and you may not use JavaScript or any…

New Chat Research: Negative Actions

So I've been working on a series of automatic moderation tools to put in the new chat, and I've come across an interesting dilemma. What actually needs to be filtered? And I'm not just on about words, here. There's also links, and topics, and phrases. The reason this is so difficult... Anyone? Well, in a nutshell, it's you lot. The average user. The people who speak in chat. You never really complain about anything until after preventive action has been taken.


A classic example of…

TinyChat Updated!

I embedded a different room in place of the last one; it now falls under Ningmaster control. Additionally, a password is required in order to broadcast. It's our favourite acronym!

I may well have said that, but I didn't yet, but I will have...

So a few of the other new Ningmasters have been introducing themselves, day by day. I guess it's my turn... I'm Dan, or The Lone Wanderer, and I'm your new Programming Ningmaster. There's never been another in my position before me, so I'll take some time to explain.


My main job is to protect everybody's online interests. This entails making sure your profiles/blogs/forum posts do not get messed with, and that you have as enjoyable and as safe a time on the Ning as…

Hi Dan -- how goes it? Is it possible to download the content from our group? All the talk of the ning going away has a few of us worried and trying to do cut and paste. With my own ning, i was thinking that it iwas possible to export the content, but of course i closed that out ages ago.

Fine. If I can reach you nowhere, this will be the option. I don't hate you, and I really really don't want you to think that. Now get online SOMEWHERE, I don't care where - if you don't want skype, get on gmail. or facebook for all i care. But somewhere, because I want to talk to youuuuu <3

Hey Dan,

I started throwing ideas about making DFTBA University more of a thing...connecting nerdfighters that know stuff with nerdfighters that want to know stuff in an organized, social, and democratic manner. I hopped on the ning to find people to brainstorm with me (something I don't do much these days) and was informed that I should talk to you about an existing project.

In short, I'd like to help and if you could send me an email at RobotChicken34@gmail.com that'd be great because I may not remember to check back here.

You may notice I'm not on skype, that is because it is semi-crashed at the moment (some people can get on and some can't) hopefully you are one of the people who can get on otherwise you may be feelin phantom limb pain at the moment.

I've never even heard of David Drake! But lots of people have recommended Terry GOodkind before, so I shall see what my local library has in stock. Thanks for playing along :)
