WE CAN DO IT. WE CAN MAKE IT. HOPE. (NO)CHANGE. SUCCESS.
POST LADIES AND GENTS, POST, THE LUCKY NUMBER IS UPON US.

⚠ WARNING ⚠
The impact of September 7000 is estimated to occur in 97 hours.

167 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6995 23:54

>>166
DQN time (UTC) or JST? It's important. We need to set up a body to govern September 7000 timekeeping.

We also need an artist to whip up a commemorative plaque.

Did you just hide all icons? Have you finished SICP? How does EVAL APPLY feel like? I was trying to get there, but then I lost my job and all motivation with it.

169 Name: grey!C.MxxuCiTo : 1993-09-6996 00:10

>>164
Ahahaha!

170 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 00:24

>>168
No icons on desktop, the taskbar works fine for that kind of thing and looks cleaner to boot. Correct in guessing I'm following SICP, although I haven't touched it since June. I have a mostly working interpreter, but there's an odd bug that is causing the provided Scheme->register machine compiler in Scheme that you're supposed to use as a base to fail on it and I lost motivation.
It's tough, I know. Tell you what, I'll finish it before >>700. You want to get somewhere in that time too?

171 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 11:00

>>170
Is it like new year/birthday promises?

I'll finish the codecademy's JS course and move on to udacity to study python before >>700! At the same time, I'm going to pick up SICP again and revise what I've learned before June (I dropped it in the same month as you - makes me wonder whenever it is a coincidence, a conspiracy, a "hivemind" or a mimicry).

172 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 12:05

>>170,171
I want to pick up SICP again, too! Scheme was fun, and I loved using that nifty vim plugin to write LISP. Any other dokyuns feel like conjuring some spirits with us?!

>>159
OpenBSD is really dandy if you read the Unix philosophy and think, "Gosh, why isn't Linux or GNU like this?!"

It's also fun to hack on. GNU is great in terms of features and ubiquity, but it's a little tricky (read: impossible) to understand:

OpenBSD is grate! I also suggest FreeBSD.

180 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:12

How about we only post ITT instead of posting all over /dqn/?

181 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:16

If we concentrate we're posts here, we will get to >>700 in no time!

182 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:23

Hmm, perhaps I shall post some kind of segmented stream of consciousness type thing.

183 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:24

"Stream of consciousness" is the right term, isn't it?

184 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:24

Come to think of it, I posted a stream of consciousness in the Post Your Current Thought thread a while back; let me see if I can find it.

185 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:25

http://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1340196069/262

Here it is. Oh boy, I was not myself that night.

186 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:26

Well, I was myself, but you know what I mean.

187 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:27

What am I doing? I'm far too self conscious to do something like this.

188 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:29

I was even too self conscious to engage in >>147's suggested print screen festivities, because that would involve explaining why I use Mercury rather than Pseud0ch.

189 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:30

Actually, I'll do that now.

190 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:31

Firstly, I'm quite severely red/green colourblind, so Pseud0ch just looks like an unpleasantly ambiguous greenish-brownish-reddish mess to me.

191 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:32

Secondly, I have a fairly low resolution (1024 x 768), which means it's better not to have the huge margins with the brick patterns.

192 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:33

Thirdly, the emergency mittens actually appear in front of the threads, rather than behind. This is very important.

193 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:35

Fun fact: having such a low resolution gives me a comparatively high mitten/pixel ratio, as there are only ever ten on screen at once.

194 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:37

I just found that releasing the emergency mittens, then squashing the window as small as possible, then maximising it again makes them all line up. How nice.

195 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:38

But enough about mittens. I should try talking about something more interesting.

196 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:38

So, um, I was playing Touhou recently.

197 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:40

I decided to have a go at IN with Sakuya/Remilia, because otherwise I always use either Reimu/Yukari or Youmu/Yuyuko.

198 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:41

I wasn't expecting to get very far; I remembered Remilia being very fiddly and Sakuya being a bit too low power.

199 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:41

I'm kinda surprised more textboards don't have additional stylesheets beyond the kareha defaults.

200 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:42

Anyway, long story short, I accidentally 1cced it with something like eight lives to spare. Also, 200 get.

201 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:44

Sometimes I consider playing Touhou but I'm not so fond of games that rely on quick reactions. ( L߃`)

202 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:44

I want to 1cc lunatic but it's just ridiculous. Stage five isn't too bad, but the fight with Marisa is not even pretending to be possible.

203 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:46

>>201
Have a go at it anyway! Who knows, you might enjoy it.

204 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:47

And believe me, it has less reliance on quick reactions than most FPSes.

205 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:47

>>199
There was that one thread in SAoVQ a while back.
Also I just noticed that back in the day when you had alternate stylesheets listed Firefox had a dropdown menu to select them, but that's apparently gone.

206 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:49

>>203
Maybe I will. Last shooter I played was Jamestown and I spent like 3 hours on the final level, managed to survive to the second and presumably last form of the final boss and died and just gave up in frustration.

207 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:50

>>206
Yes, frustration can be a terrible thing. You have to learn to take death in an almost zen-like way.

208 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:52

It would appear that I have run out of things to say. I am now taking suggestions from the audience.

209 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:54

Excellent suggestion, >>0! Perhaps I have posted enough for now.

210 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:55

Good night, Dokyuns.

211 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 20:57

>>205
Oh, Firefox now has a style editor in the Web Developer thing. It's kind of weird and buggy, but you can apply all of the stylesheets at the same time. Here's what it looks like, applied sequentially: http://i.imgur.com/sbgU1.jpg

212 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 22:09

Well excuuuse me, >>700!

213 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 22:20

can't stop the >>700

214 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 23:10

Into the future, together with >>700.

215 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 23:13

will there be cake?

216 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 23:37

delicious cakes

217 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 23:50

"I eat your CAKE."

  • There will be cake.

218 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6996 23:59

Cake is nice. I like cake.

219 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 00:03

Doing my part for the >>700.

220 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 00:23

Huzzah!

221 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 00:32

gogogogogo!

222 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 05:55

we have to accelerate significantly.

223 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 05:56

Full power to the Injuns!

MY LIFE FOR >>700

227 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 08:42

>>700 is better than sex.

228 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:09

I'm going to post some more.

229 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:10

Unless we all start stream-of-consciousnessing soon, I doubt we're going to make it.

230 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:11

I hope we do make it, that would be great.

231 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:12

My dog is annoyed with me.

232 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:13

That's because I won't let her into the room next door.

233 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:13

Never mind, she got in anyway.

234 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:14

This music is wonderful.

235 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:15

These cat posters are also wonderful.

236 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:15

Life is wonderful.

237 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:16

I'm not sure I like chocolate any more.

238 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:17

I haven't eaten anything yet today. Perhaps I should do that soon.

239 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:18

Why do I have two boxes of matches next to my computer? Surely one should be enough.

240 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:19

Hello again dog.

241 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:19

Oh, you want to be stroked now, do you?

242 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:20

I suppose I can accommodate that.

243 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:21

My captcha was pugly. I'm glad you're not a pug.

244 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:21

Oh, and you're off again.

245 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:22

Was it something I said?

246 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:23

So, uh, back to my cat posters.

247 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:23

They really are very nice indeed.

248 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:24

There's all sorts of cats there, different colours as well.

249 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:25

Well, I wouldn't know what colour they are.

250 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:26

I mean, one of them looks blue; that can't be right.

251 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:27

They all look very smug.

252 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:28

I think it's because of the Clonepaish mouths.

253 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:28

Clonepaesque.

254 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:29

Clonepaiform.

255 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:29

This is getting silly.

256 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 09:30

Perhaps I shall leave it here for now.

257 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 14:39

>>248
There are five cats here. Five. One of them is a real rogue, you know. One of those yankii kids who hangs outside of convenience stores. He's got this gruff voice and always asks to be let outside, so he can start a fight. Oh, and then one of them is a real femme. You wouldn't believe this guy could survive two weeks on his own. Acts like a real prince. Yeah, but that's nothing compared to the queen of them. Never comes out of the master bedroom, but whenever she does, she's in a bitchy mood. If you're lucky, she'll let you stroke her on the cold, hard bathroom floor. Oh, does that bring back memories. So that's what, three so far? Finally we have this fat chick that no one really cares about and a black one named Monkey. Always steals food off the table.

This doesn't have some twist where it's been a reference for you to understand all along or anything. This is what the cats in this house are actually like.

258 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 14:47

Cluttered desk, what are your secrets? What tales lie hidden underneath the leaning tower of CD? Actually it's plain to see, a fly dost nest beneath thee. Tomes and volumes scattered round, which might have cost a pretty pound, I may not read you much today, for a darker one I'll keep you 'round. The monitor will stop it's slumber, once again become alive; aside it is a case, the tower, please don't call it a hard drive.

There was DQN from Vermont,
Who opened up his restaurant,
Could not make a sale,
Hyped to no avail,
But professionalism was naught.

260 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6997 15:06

At 3:00 o' clock, his crusty eyes continued to scan the display.

"Honey," he yelled at the form on his couch, "I'm going to head to bed." Peeking above the monitor, he saw she would be out like stone for the next few hours. Her laptop was on the coffee table, the web browser displaying some site he'd never seen.

"Better not to tempt fate," he thought. "Tomorrow is big, and I can't risk any sudden upset." Moving to the couch to pull a cover over his beloved, his eyes glazed over the laptop to her side. "i love my mom" was the title of the thread that started it all. With "fart man" in the name field, his wife had unfurled an epic yarn.

"What if all of this is true?" he paused. "Have I been so blind? I really haven't seen that she's an average looking English guy who's thirty-eight."

From: I Can't Believe I Married Fart Man, the hit anime.

How to >>700 GET
A Textfile from the K-K00l Killa DQN Krew BBS
555-555-VIP, open 24/7 : textfiles and warez

To properly >>700 get, you must have the utmost expertise with regular posts. There may be one prodigy of the GET in the myriads of DQNs, but those are only romantic stories you here about. %99 of GETs are gotten by hard-working every posters like you and me. Before you even try to get >>700 on such a momentous occasion, consider having a dedicated career.

Next, starve yourself for three weeks. This empties your body so the gatorade can take more effect. Take a packet of gatorade syrup and slam it down as fast as you possibly can. This will give you one of the weirdest highs you have ever felt. ** NOTE: I am not responsible for any personal injury what so ever **

Next, you wait. To get a real good >>700 get, it's got to be on Sept. 70000. It is crucial that you don't get until then. This is where the law of the land comes in. Fourthly, you have to make sure it's in the designated >>700 GET thread.

Just make sure you take safety into consideration before trying to >>700 get. I won't take any responsibility for your injury or death!
