Thursday night regulars! h1 is Serious Business.

The plan was to hit the Gay Denny's, but luminairex was just back, so we switched locations to Chili's in Tempe. It's amazing how much salsa six people can go through. We had a reasonably awesome waiter; he was tipped in accordance with his sheer level of awesome. There was an unfortunate incident with elyssa's salad, but it was handled with good grace and happiness all around, so far as I noticed. I wound up with salsa in my water glass; the trajectory puts blame squarely at the chips of gameboyguy13.

Topics of discussion involved New Zealand, Canada, international politics, gas prices, hiking, college, very recent current events involving a whole mess of requests and JD laughing fit to wake up hcolleen (sorry!), health, family, sports, and all kinds of shop talk. (Shop talk is a given.)

It's so very good to have a cluster of local friends.

I'd been planning on hitting bed in a reasonable timeframe, but further developments ensured that it was a while before I hit the shower. (Screenshots would have been far easier, but screenshots don't allow for quoting or individual deletion should there be a problem. So, hello source code.)

Morning will bring hot hot database fun. I keep thinking I have a handle on things. Unfortunately, some of the stuff is still under development (by me), so the results are ludicrous when they're not simply improbable.

There's still a Gay Denny's? Is it the same location? Or was the title won by a new place?

7th street and Camelback. I have yet to make it there, but that's still the one so far as I know.

I was wondering how you did that!

It was a bit of a bitch in practice, but the theory is pretty easy. Once you get used to the source code from comments it speeds up a lot.

I logged out so it wouldn't show their IP addresses, selected the comments section only, went view selection source (♥ firefox), selected the mofo, pasted it in the entry behind a cut, then went through and stripped the parent/thread/reply links off, and then when Abe pointed out that the usernames were borked, I went through and took out the section that forms the usernames and replaced it with the actual <lj user=""> tag. I was doing this in a client, so I was editing and keeping the edit window open and saving every so often and refreshing the page to see how it was showing up. I did a nice job, if I do say so myself.

You did do a nice job! I was impressed.
