When Binary People Went Down

Posted on April 13th, 2010 - 2:21 pm - 36 comments

The Binary People Forum – the forum for fans of Binärpilot – went down yesterday or early this morning. I immediately threw a fit. I gotta post through my blog instead:

So, the topics are:

  • What are you SUPPOSED to be doing?
  • This will be the longest thread on the forum (spam spam spam)
  • Why isn’t Nordland out yet?!
  • Has shit been crazy ever since? ™

Feel free to write your post in the comments below. I will.

  1. koew:

    I should be doing work, honest and awesome that I am. Instead I wrote the above post and awaits input from other poeple.

    No shit has been crazy since then…

  2. What are you supposed to be doing? Well, I’m supposed to be on the forums. That’s not happening. I’m also supposed to be listening to the new MGMT album, but am on the couch with some coffee to try and wake up after a huge lunch.

    Spam for the day from Rach: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0sg0pjHKo1qzd4wxo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1271246484&Signature=acdAwhf3PqWZuWh7B7AHcCdOkdk%3D

    Nordland: Yeah, what the shit?! Rabble rabble rabble!!

    Alexander just sent me this link, and upon reading realized you were opening your site to be somewhat of a temporary forum and, shit has been pretty crazy since then.

  3. koew:

    Yeah, as the Main Poster on the forum, I felt like I had to step in to do something. Also, I had a couple of minutes break at work…

  4. 'o'mikkel:

    man, what’s this all about? where are the forums?
    supposed to do my gym assignement, man what is that? A theoretic thing about training and stuff, gah to that. Been on a studen council trip from yesterday to today and shit has been pretty crazy since then, but now they seem to be calming down again.

  5. I’M SUPPOSED TO STOP YELLING BUT I CAN’T CONTROL THE VOLUME OF MY CAPS LOCK

  6. koew:

    Heh, I can actually relate, ‘o’mikkel. I took PE as privatist, so all I had to do was a writing exam. It was boring and I never read the book I was supposed to read.

    Looking forward to the ressurection of the forum. Meanwhile, we can use my space. MY space. Without animated gifs ‘n shit.

  7. Sup dudes. So yeah yesterday the forum was just uh, totally broken for some reason and Alexander looked into it but couldn’t for the life of him figure out why and he’s a total nerd!! That’s how broken it is! So anyway, he’s completely redesigning the site (including forum) this weekend and Inge (aka elektronaut but hopefully you already knew that) is going to put it up (we’re hoping anyway, I’ll bake him some cookies or something to sweeten the deal). Does anyone have any specific suggestions for what they’d like to see/have? I can run it by Binaer, we have connections. Usually I just shine a huge light in the sky in the shape of a robot and he shows up within 15 minutes to an hour in a super hero outfit that changes from time to time.

    What y’all doing now? I’m at Alexander’s office listening to the Clash waiting to go home. Also, have you guys seen Kick Ass yet? I keep telling you! Dooo itttt!!

    Love always and forever,
    Rachael Ivy Støver

  8. And koew, maybe some of us WANT animated gifs! I want a kitten wearing a crown with glitter shimmering and ‘Princess’ in bright pink, and another one that says something from the Bible, and then ANOTHER one that says like ‘Sexy Bitch’ in black and pink with again, more glitter. Ty.

  9. koew:

    Well, a forum upgrade would be nice now, wouldn’t it? As long as it won’t be that pink theme he tried to pull on us way back when, because that really hurt my eyes.

    Just make it easier to get to the music and transmission central (twitter/forum/blog posts/etc).

    Although videos are nice ‘n awesome, I don’t need to see it everytime I visit the page.

  10. Yes, forum is def going to be upgraded and I will make sure he doesn’t use too much pink ;) I think what you’re describing is essentially what he’s going to try and do, group things much better so that their are fewer categories, and I don’t think he wants people to HAVE to register to post on said forum. From what I’ve heard he wants the twitter, FB, comments on things, and some kind of a forum to be in one place. Then have on category for just videos/pics, then one for downloads. I think it’s going to be cleaned up a lot, but I don’t want to put out false hope so maybe you should forget everything I just said and expect it to be shit so that you won’t be disappointed ;)

  11. btw Koew I’m reading around on your site while I’m chilling at the office and fuck it is funny. You piss SO many people off! The responses are priceless! I am seriously going to have to go through like every post. Shit this is some good stuff.

  12. koew:

    Hell, I’ve been trolling for what Internet calls “ages”. It’s pretty fun when random people stumble upon something I’ve written a long time ago and start commenting. My favourite victim? It’s gotta be John Brune @ Best Garfield Comic Strip Ever Made.

    Secret: I’ve been working on a new design for koew.net for a while now. It’ll fix all a usability issues like navigating to older posts, and will have a fixed-fluid width.

  13. Will there be free beer and sexy hoes?

  14. 'o'mikkel:

    wow the goddamn link to garfield without garfield, very nice. he is so sick.

    should still be doing my PE, should have done it as a privatist, but i asked my school and they wouldn’t let me, not norwegian either. bah…
    and damn.
    very fed up with school.

  15. koew:

    Why of course there’ll be free beer and sexy hoes! I can’t see what else there should be? But I guess an entrance fee is required, due to popular demand and all…

    ‘o’mikkel: That sounds kinda illegal from the school you’re going to. I can’t see any reason why you should not be allowed to take any course as privatist, since it’ll be up to you if you manage or not.

    I’m actually doing school work. Got this java assignment where I gotta create a Sudoku-solver that uses a recursive method for adding numbers. Looking forward to the GUI part, but right now I’m stumped at the recursive method…

  16. 'o'mikkel:

    haha, i asked the counceler at school, at least and she was like do ‘em or go to another school kid, and here the other day i spent my history lesson doodling and drawing a piece of skribbel, and my teacher went all DO WHAT I SAY on me and said that if i didn’t do what i was supposed to i could just take anything as a privatist and get away lol. haha.

    though the counceler probably said that because my school is like on the minus side when it comes to economy and if i do the regular subjects as a privatist, they earn less money from having me as a student? i guess i could have just signed up for the subject and paid for it and all and then just showed that i had it to them and theyd let me stop having lessons in it.. i dunno. stupid. me and counceler and teacher. haha. care care.
    school does a lot of illegal stuff anyways.
    who knows and who cares. its over in like.. a very short while now. so that’ll be grand.

    what school did you attend again? sounds quite interesting.

  17. 'o'mikkel:

    i just recently got addicted to doctor who, this is not looking good for my examns, or school, or life, or harddrivespace. haha.

  18. waaasup yo.

    i’m at home, about to make myself a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, and then later today we’re gonna go look at ANOTHER apartment (hopefully the search will be over after this one! feels like we’ve seen 100). So wish us luck. Don’t know what the agenda is tonight, hopefully celebrating we finally found a place to live… But I don’t want to get ahead of myself…

  19. koew:

    Yeah. Good luck with that! I heard about you guys moving, and I wish you all the best. It’s just a gawd damn boring procedure!

    I’m working on my java assignment at the moment. It’s only solving 2×3 sudokus at the moment. It just stops when I try to do 9×9 it stops on the second row. I’ve got no problem with solving a 16×16 either. It’s kinda funny that it won’t solve regular (3×3) sudokus.

  20. Heya
    Yup, still no luck with the aparment :( Ugh. Hopefully something will come along soon.

    Right now Alexander is working on the new Binaerpilot site, it’s looking really good and much more to-the-point. Just thought I’d let you guys know, hopefully a new and improved forum AND site will be up soon!

  21. koew:

    Really looking forward to both of ‘em. Still working on the assignment which is due on Wednesday. I really gotta make this one good, or else I’m pretty muched fudged…

  22. 'o'mikkel:

    these days go by with waiting for and watching doctor who, the season from ’05.
    and other movies while waiting. Watched the boat that rocked, better than what it got in the papers, or whereever. cute.
    in what areas are you checking out apartments yo?
    mostly around the center of oslo? I guess that makes it more difficult, bet you could find one out here in the “suburbs” really easy? but its a bit boring, having to spend 30/45 minutes to get to school and all.

    i should be doing my school work, and my application, but im waiting, ill do it like, right before its too late :P
    no problem, all will be fine. :) i bet, it has to.

  23. ‘o’: yeah, we’re mostly looking in the city but we’re not totally opposed to living outside a bit, but ideally the more central the better.

    the site is really looking really good so far, that’s all I’m going to report ;)

  24. really looking really good?

    I need another cup of coffee.

  25. Moitah:

    Most nice awesome yay post ever from Alex on FaceBook : http://www.facebook.com/astoever?v=wall&story_fbid=116206401738535&ref=mf

    What do you think ? (Of course you think it’s awesome too, that’s not wut I mean, yunno)

  26. koew:

    Moitah, I can’t see that post, but I agree it’s hella awesome! Also I really, really love chocolate milk when in hangover-mode. It heals ‘n fixes ‘n shit. If I could marry dairy, I’d fucking marry Q-sjokolademelk. The wedding would rock, and everyone would’ve been invited.

    I know what you mean about living inside the city (here defined as: not the suburbs). It’s always easier when everything’s within walking distance.

    Still working on my java assignment. It’s annoying when it’s working whenever I don’t select a 3×3 sudoku board. Guess I gotta get some insight from my lab teacher about that one.

  27. koew, for the record the post was “Working on the new Binärpilot site. It will be awesome. And launched with a track from Nordland.”

    also, chocolate milk is the greatest thing ever. especially when you live in Norway. you guys don’t know how good you’ve got it with the dairy products. fuuuuckkk now I’m gonna go make some O’Boy chocolate milk (great, but not as good as the Q-sjokolademelk. Gonna pick some up at the store tomorrow I think though.

    Let us know how the sudoku thing works out… I would have no idea how to do any of that shiiiiiit. So I commend you Sir Koew.

  28. koew:

    At the school’s computer lab. A lab teacher looked at my code and tried to help me out with my problem. He didn’t find it because everything looked OK. And it does, that’s why it sucks to be me right now. (Also, he thought I wrote nicely!)

  29. koew:

    I finally got it! With a little bit help from a lab teacher, I’ve now created an algorithm that creates solutions for any blank sudoku board. (For a 3×3 (9×9) board there are ~ 28 million solutions)

    And I’ll be celebrating with a lunch with some co-students. Now everything’s blast to the max ‘n shit. I guess I’ll be more fudged when I’m starting on the board GUI, but that’s later on. Right now, I’m there, you know.

  30. Healter Skealter in the summer swelter – the Birds flew off with a fallout shelter
    Eight Miles High and falling fast
    It landed foul on the grass
    The players tried for a forward pass with the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
    Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume while the Sergeants played a marching tune
    We all got up to dance, oh, but we never got the chance
    ‘Cause the players tried to take the field – the marching band refused to yield
    Do you recall what was revealed the day the forums died?

  31. koew:

    Ahh, the day the forums died. I remember it like it was last week! I might be old, but back in the days we knew how to forum. Kids nowadays don’t know their lolcats from their emoticons, just like they shit in both hands and hope it’ll never fill up, you know?

    Then again, the grasser is always grass on the other side. And over there they’re having a barbequeue and drinking tons of alcohol – it’s a party every day.

  32. Jo Kabelmaulwurf reporting in!
    Whats happening damn i wasn’t posting anymore,but reading .
    Do you hang around on IRC somewhere ?
    Cheers

  33. koew:

    Nahh, can’t be arsed to go back to IRC now. I’ve got enough with IMs, emails and forums as it is. Looking forward to the new design and forums. It’ll make things alot easier I supposed. Less is more, indeed! Also, I need to continue the re-design of koew.net, too. I got 98 problems, and a re-design ain’t one of them.

  34. going to bed after doing a ton of work for the site today. hope you all like it when you see it :) good night and sweet dreams, binaerpeople.

  35. 'o'mikkel:

    oh so looking forward! :D

  36. Site and forum = UP! Time to celebrate! Skål!!
