Titles. (Read 15866 times)

Stu Littlefair · June 05, 2003, 12:47:00 pm

On boldering.com, all the regulars have little titles under their names.

Not fair. I want a fucking title :cuss:

In fact I want "ankle biting midget" as my title, or I'm leaving.

dave · June 05, 2003, 12:52:54 pm

I'm already "ultra G", what more could i want?

Bubba · June 05, 2003, 12:58:34 pm

Nooo! it's a revolt - ok, ok, you've got it your way :roll:

Anyone else can send me requests.....and one day, I might even let you set them up yourselves, if you're lucky.

Stu Littlefair · June 05, 2003, 01:07:08 pm

Happy now

Avoiding the Traitor · June 05, 2003, 01:25:10 pm

Wonder what mine?

Avoiding the Traitor · June 05, 2003, 01:25:36 pm

Ah addict .. no way!

Bubba · June 05, 2003, 01:27:11 pm

An addict is one of the automatic ranks which get set by the number of posts you've posted - anyway, we know you're really part of the Cocktalk loving scum :wink:

Avoiding the Traitor · June 05, 2003, 01:36:47 pm

Yeah I know.

You can call me Scum if you like

Bubba · June 05, 2003, 01:47:22 pm

It's ok, I used to have the same affliction myself.

Unfortunatley, mines far from under control :-(

Scouse D · June 05, 2003, 01:57:56 pm

Can I have one please?
I'm sure Dave will have some suggestions!

dave · June 05, 2003, 02:00:21 pm

how about "a kinda magic"?

or
"hot stuff coming through"

Scouse D · June 05, 2003, 02:13:09 pm

Nice Dave- you cheeky c-nut.
I prefer your 1st suggestion, my climbing is kinda magic ( I know that's what you meant!)

T.H. · June 05, 2003, 02:17:53 pm

Please, please, please can I have - soft skinned, shandy drinking, southern nancy?

Bubba · June 05, 2003, 02:32:12 pm

See what you've started Stu?!

I hope I don't need to do this for all 140 of you - ok, time to find that mod that allows users to set their own I guess....

too long, but I just missed out the soft-skinned bit...

dobbin · June 05, 2003, 02:52:52 pm

Well I've had mine for ages cos like Dave I'm vastly superior.

Bubba, can you install the MyCalendar mod? I want you to do it so you can tell me how its done. Ta.

Nice try Dobbin

But can't really see the point of it on here - suggest 10 good uses for it and I may consider it....

dobbin · June 05, 2003, 03:00:18 pm

1: we can put dates of comps up
2: we can put our birthdays on
3: we could put up where you were going out then people could look see and decide whether to join you or avoid the area
4: it would be a learning experience for you
5: it would add value to the site (?)
6: its free
7: it might look nice
8: it would make ukb the #1 digital destination :wink:
9: women will find you more attractive if you can boast you installed it
10: I will give you a jam tart.

Bubba · June 05, 2003, 03:08:05 pm

1. Good idea
2. Far too fluffy
3. Would that work better than a "where are you going tonight" topic
4. I've got enough learning experiences regarding this site to last me a lifetime!
5. Possibly, but unneccessary mods are clutter
6. So is all software :wink:
7. It might look pants
8. But surely it already is?!?!?
9. I'm already having to fend them off from all directions :wink:
10. Yummy !!

What does everyone else think?

dave · June 05, 2003, 03:28:29 pm

dunno, what does it do/look like etc?

T.H. · June 05, 2003, 05:10:59 pm

I don't really understand, but if it allows me to piss away more time on the internet between bouldering, then all the better I say!

I am a (soft skinned) shandy drinking, southern nancy after all :D

Got any decent links Dobbin?

T.H. · June 05, 2003, 09:53:19 pm

Cheers Bubba!

It's funny because it's true! :D

Bubba · June 06, 2003, 09:04:14 am

I've found a mod that lets users choose their own title, so I'll add it to the list - once again, apologies for the lack of action on the content you've all sent in, but I've not had much free time.

Stu Littlefair · June 06, 2003, 09:52:02 am

Hurray!

Bubba for president. Shit, we don't have a president yet, do we?

Erm, Bubba for "owner of cadburys" (perhaps then I'll get a chocolate sponsorship.)

Bubba · June 06, 2003, 09:57:30 am

I'll be president as long as you keep Monica Lewinski off her knees :wink:

I quite like the "Karma Rating" thingy on this board

Good idea or bad?

dave · June 06, 2003, 10:03:12 am

I recon its a good idea - could be worth a try.

Bubba · June 06, 2003, 10:08:01 am

I'll look into it - at the moment everyone on the board has "good karma" anyway I suppose.....there's loads of nice mods out there to add features to the board - it's just working out which ones would just clutter the place up and which ones would be genuinely useful.

All requests considered....

dobbin · June 06, 2003, 11:59:26 am

I've no links to any sites with the MyCal mod, I downloaded it last night and might have a fiddle over the weekend ( :wink: ) and I might test out that mod as well

hey, its hard being so witty.

re: "owner of cadburys" - my missus works for them, want me to get her to put a word in for you Stu? I can see you strutting up and down Ravens Tor in purple lycra....

I would like Steely Fingered Yoof if thats not to much trouble. I couldnt see the do it your self thing. Is it up yet?
Cheers

Bubba · June 07, 2003, 08:10:28 pm

'tis done :D

danielb · June 09, 2003, 10:32:32 am

Could I get 'Trad Heretic' plz?

danielb

Bubba · June 09, 2003, 10:42:48 am

As requested...... should be "chuff heretic" really !

I was going to install the custom titles mod, and the mycalendar mod (to keep Dobbin happy) this w/e but got waylaid with learning Adobe Pagemaker to make these two new review pages....not quite live yet:

learning Adobe Pagemaker

been playing around with that one myself lately too - actually quite easy to use and i can almost make things look professional(http://www.hongkongclimbing.com/downloads/tunglung.pdf - about 2.8mb so fast connection recommended)

still not thought of a suitably apt title for myself yet - best i could come up with was 'sketchy' which was what i was refered to by those i climbing with prior to departing for pastures new

Bubba · June 09, 2003, 11:00:53 am

It's a wicked package - about as intuitive as photoshop, ie - not at all, but once you've got the basics sussed, it's really nice. MS Publisher would probably be an easier learning curve.

That topo looks excellent Stu - shall I put you as sketchy then?

hongkongstuey · June 09, 2003, 11:09:00 am

nah, its a bit lame - i'll waste some more of works time trying to come up with something

Are those screens set up for a fixed resolution cause on IE 6.0 I had trouble viewing the whole page and that was on a desktop of 1600x1200!

I prefer dreamweaver for web site stuff but then I tend to code most of the sites I work on in PHP. Although I've not done much with my current site as I am waiting for a net connection at home....

dave · June 09, 2003, 11:37:50 am

You can scroll by clicking on the page and dragging it up and down.

No, you just use the hand cursor to scroll it, or use the up/down pageup/down keys on your keyboard....

dreamweaver is great for site design, but pagemaker is good for dtp / creating pdfs, etc.

Fair enough, I've only dabbled with creating pdfs with php at runtime...

And yeah pagemaker is an excellant dtp package.

Bubba · June 09, 2003, 12:02:41 pm

How do you create pdfs at runtime in php? Is there a site that has the apis?

danielb · June 09, 2003, 01:51:59 pm

Its described in the online manual here looks to be one of the very cool features of the language for creating nice printer friendly docs.

Bubba · June 09, 2003, 02:02:38 pm

Cheers - theres a java version here

Probably a good way to do printer friendly pages, though just using a different stylesheet will often suffice.

Aaaagggh! We must stop this geekery.

Talking of which - take the geek test

I scored 13.5% which is "geekish tendencies". Some people I work with got nearly 40% - scary.

danielb · June 09, 2003, 02:14:09 pm

I got 15% last time but we had a couple of 65%ish people here, but then this is a computer games company....

Bubba · June 09, 2003, 02:17:42 pm

65% :shock:

Fuck me, they must come to work in Star Trek costumes and stuff !

erm, 17.94872% - Geek. I'll get my coat.

dave · June 09, 2003, 03:27:18 pm

I'd be interested to see what Paz scores on this one, afterall he is the king of programing games on scientific calculators. I'll never forget Catch The Eggs.

Scouse D · June 09, 2003, 03:58:06 pm

I ain't no geek.

T.H. · June 09, 2003, 07:00:12 pm

I didn't even understand most of the words in that list :? :?

Apparently I'm a Poser?

I'd rather be a geek, but I guess I am a fully paid up member of the 'shirt's off while bouldering society' :wink:

So getting your tits out to go climbing is a sign of being cool? I always thought it was a way of keeping cool rather than being cool? Does this society have meetings?

Can anyone come?

T.H. · June 09, 2003, 09:21:48 pm

Well, I was bouldering in an indoor centre, with my top off, and someone accused me of being in such a society. I think it was supposed to be derogatory, but I thought it was really funny so I've claimed to be a member ever since.

Perhaps we could set it up for real? Imagine the fun we could have with all the female members

Even better would be all the 'effical' debates that would get written about it on CT.

Anyone else want to join?
