Unexplainable Pouet oneliner bug?

category: general [glöplog]
there's just one sure way to solve that mystery, optimus: deny modern life (especially computers and internet) and spend at least 10 years in tibet, living a hermit's life.

Is there a way (some wicked html,sql, anything) that could give to a pouet user, all the older oneliner posts but in one and only html page? Or else, I'll have to search them page per page. I want to find at which message number I had posted for the first time or later the quote. Perhaps there is a connection and the bug exactly at my quote is just a sick coinsidence..

Btw,. I also want that for another reason. Recollections. When trying to search randomly, I fell upon some older posts of mine, reminding me memories of old facts in my life. And by finding posts of other people close to my own posts, talking about scene releases or anything, I could even find out the date when these things happened in my life..

it's a mystery indeed.. i think the illuminati have something to do with it aswell.. maybe pouet is actually run by the majic12.. and the quote 'bliss is a musician and the evil truth makes no sense in tibet' is their secret keycode....

if the one-liner contents are used as the primary key in the sql, then you won't be able to add the same line twice. And if it's stripping spaces, that won't help.

Might be worth having a play with - see if you can add a comment in twice.

mmh... i think that an id is added to every post, no matter what the content is. in fact i think that at least three things define a post in the oneliner: 1) an id - 2) the username - 3) the content itself... so a request on the id where the condition is the username should easily return the information. but i'm used to work with relationnal databases, i don't know which system is behind pouet.net...

I think that needs some clarification - Get a REAL life, not one that stores data in a cookie.

I like the fact that, whereas ordinary people have things like "photoalbums" and stuff like that to remind them of their past experiences, Optimus needs to use the pouet oneliner.

Optimus, try living without a computer for a month. No home machine, no net cafe, no 'visiting a friend'.

Then, you will see how boring life really is.

After you find it boring, you will find something to do. Probably getting drunk, taking drugs, fighting, stealing, but stilll... it's a life.

And if you're really lucky, you'll wake up one day with a woman, and never feel like writing a demo again.

Hackers believe that essential lessons can be learned about the systems--about the world--from taking things apart, seeing how they work, and using this knowledge to create new and even more interesting things. They resent any person, physical barrier, or law that tries to keep them from doing this.
This is especially true when a hacker wants to fix something that (from his point of view) is broken or needs improvement. Imperfect systems infuriate hackers, whose primal instinct is to debug them. This is one reason why hackers generally hate driving cars--the system of randomly programmed red lights and oddly laid out one-way streets causes delays which are so goddamned UNNECESSARY that the impulse is to rearrange signs, open up traffic-light control boxes . . .redesign the entire system.

In a perfect hacker world, anyone pissed off enough to open up a control box near a traffic light and take it apart to make it work better should be perfectly welcome to make the attempt.

are you saying that the pouet hackers are going to be able to open Optimus up and make him work better?
No. It means that Optimus should be given control to pouet.net so that there will be no more oneliner bugs!

I think you have miscalculated just how much of Pouet Optimus is in control of already.
Optimus is the ultimate bad example for the universe. ;)
