Well, actually, no it wouldn't. On the Arctic Circle you have one day a year without sun light. On the poles you have 6 months. That is the theory anyway. So right now, the sun is back on the Arctic Circle. However, on the North Pole, it would still count as a nightly.DaddyHoggy wrote:It would in the Arctic Circle...

This is a year old! I don't need to be reminded of my obsessive tendencies.

It showed up as an unread post for me as well....I just responded to it-didn't check the date-stamp.

We can derail anythingEl Viejo wrote:The question is, how does one derail a thread entitled Distracting nonsense?

So, the perfect way to derail the thread would be to post something technical about Linux trunk nightlies here.Ahruman wrote:Until yesterday, it was called “Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds”.El Viejo wrote:The question is, how does one derail a thread entitled Distracting nonsense?
Hmm... maybe. But seeing as 'Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds' has been labelled as 'Distracting nonsense', any technical post pertaining to 'Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds' would in fact be about 'Distracting nonsense', and would be entirely on-topic, and therefore not a derailment!Commander McLane wrote:So, the perfect way to derail the thread would be to post something technical about Linux trunk nightlies here.
That's not quite what happened. The stuff in this thread was split away from the still perfectly existing and not-at-all-relabed Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds thread and given its own silly label on behalf of DaddyHoggy, because each thread needs to have a subject. Ahruman could have simply deleted the off-topic posts, but I guess if he started doing something so radical, the boards would implode.El Viejo wrote:Hmm... maybe.

In this particular case – a year-old joke being resurrected in the middle of a conversation in a “working” thread – I was sorely tempted.Commander McLane wrote:Ahruman could have simply deleted the off-topic posts, but I guess if he started doing something so radical, the boards would implode.
Hey, not me - I made that joke in good faith - a year ago - when it was completely in context of the Linux nightly builds only being updated once every six months...Commander McLane wrote:That's not quite what happened.
