 Snargash Moonclaw
I'm talking about the one by Crane Prairie Reservoir

 Nomadic
Well according to this

URL

It's 20% contained. Though it begs the question "what in the world are you doing all the way down there in california?" Come back up here with the sane people in good ole oregon.

 Nomadic
Snow creek fire?

 Snargash Moonclaw
@ Nomadic: any progress tonight on the Snow Creek Fire? We were right across the lake when it started. . .

 Nomadic
Ra-Tiel has got me hooked on something new this daily wtf thing is epic win

 Pellanor
Yay! Gotta love the Daily WTF!

 Snargash Moonclaw
SD - Picking up on whether people are joking or serious is a lifetimes endeavor.

 Snargash Moonclaw
"Coding! We hatessss it forever!"

 SDragon
Brainface: Joking or serious? Because that's what I'm slowly trying to pick up, in my spare time.

 Nomadic
"==== : is genuinely, truly, ultimately, indisputably, beyond all reasonable doubt equal test "

That made me laugh.

 sparkletwist
hat's ome ood ode!

 Ra-Tiel
@Nomadic: I don't know if you already know, but URL is an absolutely brilliant site. Fun and horror, so close at each other.

A perfect example can be seen here: URL

I mean, wtf? A function that can return either boolean or integer?

 brainface
I love python.
*bucks the trend*

 Nomadic
What about programming languages? Because PHP's syntax is about as clean as a block of mud.

 Ninja D!
*plays relevant Prince song*

 Eladris
DON'T MIND IF I DO!

 Satanic Panic 4E

 Eladris
Rebuilding his company's intranet makes Eladris go something something.

 LordVreeg
yeah, it's that time.

 Ra-Tiel
Is it ranting time about computer programs? Can I join in, pretty please?

Ok, I hate Java. And especially NetBeans. These two are so backwards and retarded, I wonder how _anyone_ could ever get anything done with them.

 Snargash Moonclaw
Still catchin' up after the camping trip. At some point I'll get off my skinny butt and weigh in on a couple of threads

What Is the CBG?

The Campaign Builders' Guild is your one-stop source for information and communities centered around building and creating homebrew campaign settings, adventures, and worlds for role playing games. World building and campaign building is a craft and an art, to use the words of Raelifin, and goes far beyond just simply creating locales, NPCs, and adventure locations. These things must connect to each other in some sort of fundamental way. At the Campaign Builders' Guild, we will help you achieve a mastery of this art, either through reviewing your campaign setting, critiquing your adventure, or simply basking in the wonder of your campaign world. Go to the forums and ask for help for that new kingdom you're building, and ask for advice on the new magic system you're creating. And while you're here, please ponder others' works of art. Write your own reviews on someone else's setting, and play an adventure RPG in a new campaign world. You can't go wrong.
