    <hell, why not a 4th>

    2008-04-29 08:28:04.0

    hmm, the numbers copied across but they're just text, not actual numeration, so it won't handle numbering for me and it'll be a bit of a pain moving people.

    Going to switch that to the proper numbering system

    Thanks XP (I was wondering when someone would notice ;))

    2008-08-19 16:48:44.0

    In other news, Bluegirl joins the upper portion of the board

    Might want to hurry and get another point though - if the numbers on each board get unbalancified I might have to raise the threshold between the 2 :P

    The time to save updates is always a little laggy, and the upper board sees more traffic so making it smaller would be a plus...... 

    2008-08-19 16:50:24.0

    2008-08-20 11:31:58.0

    It gotta be a dead zebra (or puinuin), or maybe a zebra that is blushing.

    2008-08-20 11:40:19.0

    I was going for the embarrassed zebra.

    2008-08-26 05:56:22.0

    Meanwhile, I don't think I've gotten a point in forever!

    considering you spend more time here than anyone else (with the possible exception of bluegirl), i'd have thought you have plenty of time to rack up some points...

    No, no, I insist. You probably deserve it, considering there were already a slew of questions that could adequately explain it. The +1 stands!

    2008-08-30 10:03:25.0

    this will help secure my position on the big board.

    2008-08-30 10:03:45.0

    I'd say 15th is a fairly secure position ;)

    2008-08-30 10:15:17.0

    i'm happy at 15th........for now.

    You'd really hate to catch a computer virus with your brain.  Coincidentally, there's a novel with that premise. true story.

    2008-09-02 16:45:32.0

    Uhh... What?

    2008-09-02 16:54:32.0

    No problem, I'll just install an antivirus on my brain... better hope its not too much of a resource hog though, sure would suck for all my vital functions to freeze up just because Norton decided to scan my liver for spyware.

    You don't use 100% of your brain in the same way as you don't use 100% of your muscles - i.e. you don't use it all at once. It's not like there's a little corner of the brain doing everything, and all the rest is just spare grey goo... all of it gets used in one way or another.

    Firefox 3 does take up too much memory Tongue out

    2008-09-03 05:39:27.0

    Firefox has always taken up too much memory, but to my understanding FF3 is an improvement over FF2...

    +1 too sir montague for 1 out ah 5

    2008-09-03 07:42:20.0

    It depends. The ß was a lot worse than the release, but still worse for me on Vista

    2008-09-03 08:56:45.0

    i love my FF3........

    . 

    2008-09-03 09:23:01.0

    I love me some Firefox too, but it does have a tendency to eat up a lot of RAM

    Right now... 116MB of memory being used to display 6 tabs. Seems excessive... although the window has been open quite a while, so it may have accumulated over time.

    2008-09-03 10:52:15.0

    I just cleaned out 63 tabs at 521MB + a restart to keep 31 tabs at 191MB.  I don't worry though, RAM is cheap and I have 2GB to spare.

    It is supposed to have a suped up JS engine, I was going to see how it did on the Last Post game thread...

    2008-09-03 13:25:57.0

    um......what's a js engine?

    2008-09-03 13:26:34.0

    JS = JavaScript ;)

    2008-09-03 13:28:27.0

    Google Chrome looks a bit over-minimalist for my tastes, I prefer to have my menus where I can see them. Plus I'd really miss some of my Firefox extensions.

    2008-09-03 13:29:25.0

    oh......thanks......Embarassed

    remember i'm just starting school now........everything i know i just kind of figured out....

    2008-09-03 13:30:06.0

    yeah.....i love my firefox addons.....

    2008-09-03 13:30:19.0

    2008-09-03 17:27:12.0

    Tabs hogs/whores never fail to surprise me... I couldn't handle that many tabs open all the time

    2008-09-03 18:55:10.0

    i can't generally do more than 3 or 4....but....one of my addons is taboo.....which will save any tabs i'm interested in for later........so i don't have to keep them open indefinitely.....

    The number of people now on the board was making it a little slow to update the posts with new points, so I redistributed it over 3 posts to make it more evenly spread. You now need 5 points to be on the top board, anything less than that but more than one goes on the middle board, and those with only one point to their name are on the lowest rung of the point-ladder...

    2008-12-04 13:28:03.0

    Ohhh.... I keep changing from the top to the middle... just when I think I'm getting somewhere, I'm not...

    story of my life, really....

    2008-12-04 15:28:42.0

    You're still in the same ranking/position on the board as a whole, the division into 3 sections is purely arbitrary ;) (I just want to keep any one section from being so large that an edit takes ages to be submitted because of all the rest of the section is being resubmitted along with it)

    2008-12-04 15:32:07.0

    2008-12-04 15:35:17.0

    Or in fact place the highest scorer section into one of the posts I've made since the beginning of the topic... about half way down say.

    2008-12-04 15:35:57.0

    Hmm, last edit of the top board was on the 21st, dek's point wasn't given until the 23d, so I'm guessing that's still to do.

    Since then SirM's gained 4.5, I've gained 1, so he should be 2.5 points ahead of me now

    Which you are... good.

    2009-01-01 19:32:28.0

    maybe i should start looking at the scoreboard now and again....just in case.

    2009-01-09 16:03:12.0

    how come DG has more points than codemonkey, but is still at the bottom?

    2009-01-09 16:29:40.0

    because I wasn't paying attention when I added his 1/4 of a point :P

    2009-01-09 16:41:07.0

    meh... you want to run your own scoreboard, you go ahead :P

    But if you don't trust my abilities you'll have to go through and count them all up again... and since we didn't start out posting all the points into one topic, that may take a while.

    2009-01-15 21:45:28.0

    What do you guys think about resetting the scoreboard once in while?  I think it would be nice for some of the newer people.  Also, it should make SK's job easier.

    2009-01-16 08:00:18.0

    Actually it's easier for me this way - to do a short-term scoreboard I'd have to remember to clear the list on a regular basis, and have a handle on exactly when points were awarded... maybe as a separate thing, like a weekly score that's independent of the lifetime score.

    Probably best as a separate topic, so we'd need to train everyone to post into 2 topics to award points... but it would mean that someone else could maintain the weekly list... I vote for drdec :P

    2009-01-16 09:30:20.0

    +1 to Sir Monty for January 15th.

    Re the scoreboard resetting, the idea was not to keep two scoreboards.  Start a new scoreboard on a new topic and ignore posts to this one.  People would get the idea, especially once the new scoreboard was above the old one.  And I was thinking of resetting it once a year or so, not every week.

    2009-03-24 09:40:07.0

    Dorian... just saw in your hover-over profile text thingy, Academic in Cambridge eh?

    I have an offer from the uni there... having to try and decide if I'd like it, or if somewhere more 'normal' would be better. Any insight? :P

    Whoa! HELLO RiotRed!

    2009-03-29 16:35:37.0

    Hey SK, been away from here for a while - what's your offer? Under-grad or post-grad? If the latter, what kind of funding do you have? Cambridge is a good place to study, and unless you've got a big chip on your shoulder, I'd say that if you've got what it takes (and if you've got an offer with funding that means that someone already thinks you do), it presents a great opportunity, and you should grab it.  Also, you will find you'll be among an intellectually outstanding peer group, and you'll find your social niche.

    2009-03-31 19:45:39.0

    drdec: No, I was saying that Morgan's position hasn't changed for a long time.

    2009-03-31 19:47:40.0

    I have an offer from Churchill to  study Computer Science as an undergrad... don't think there's any special funding beyond the normal student finance stuff.

    Trying to decide basically between that and Warwick Uni, which I wasn't expecting to really be a decision, but Warwick had a really good vibe to the place, which I didn't get so much at Cambridge... countering that, the people would be smarter and the eventual degree more prestigious at Cambridge, so I don't know whether to discount the somewhat poor vibe when I went for interview as a fluke (or as being because they were all busy interviewing people), or whether I really would like it better at Warwick...

    What's your connection? (What kind of 'academic'?)

    2009-04-01 06:58:30.0

    I wouldn't have expected a good vibe from the old established traditional uni:P

    2009-04-01 17:45:29.0

    Well, SK, Computing at Cambridge certainly has a fine tradition and is the basis of many hi-tech spin-offs (the Cambridge area is known as Silicon Fen). It's fair to say I have a strong connection to the department.;)

    The Computer Laboratory (aka Faculty of Computer Science and Technology) just obtained the highest ranking of any Computer Science and Informatics UK university department in the national research assessment exercise, with a GPA of 3.35 out of 4.00. This also gave it the equal highest GPA for any academic department at the University of Cambridge.

    The Computer Science department at Warwick is not bad - they were ranked 34th, with a GPA of 2.75 out of 4.00.

    This is what I would be looking at (as well as perhaps the Teaching Assessment Exercise results) if I were at your stage, comparing institutions where I might go.

    Remember that the vibe for an undergrad at Cambridge, and your social life, will mainly revolve around the college (Churchill), not the Department.

    2009-05-12 07:59:40.0

    I take the lazy approach to adjusting people's positions on the board - if they don't need to be moved to keep it in order, I don't

    So in a group of equal score, first one to reach it is on the top.

    2009-05-12 08:11:53.0

    so I see. that's all right, all i need is 1/4 to jump 2 spots

    Do you think we need to convert the points over to Scoreboard III? Based on this topic taking way too long to load, and it being over a year old by now...

    Just a suggestion Innocent

    2009-05-22 17:28:00.0

    Ehh... I guess.

    It doesn't take that long to load for me, but if it's getting rusty then I'll open up a new iteration of the Scoreboard.
