Just so you know, the PlayStation ('95) came out a year before the Nintendo 64 ('96), not the other way around, and CERTAINLY not a four-year headstart. You sure you didn't mix it up with the SNES ('91)? Babbage's doesn't stock those anymore, either (much to my chagrin). --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 00:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok wikifolks,  I just off the phone with UPS and the birthday card saga is over.  The card was delivered today at 2:02 pm.  I'm sure Matt will appreciate the thought and the fact that we tried to get the card to him before his birthdayAnywho, for all future ventures I now know the correct addresses in which to send packages...and now we now we know Mike birthday too! {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

::::Jars of Clay has been downhill since their first album, and they have been disapointing in concert. Chris Tomlin just flat out rocks, we do a lot of his songs at our churchSteven Curtis Chapman has a special place in my heart becuase his song, "I will be here" was the song that we had our first dance to at our wedding reception. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 13:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::I love Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Live Out Loud" because it was kind of our "team spirit song" for my first ever mission trip.  Every time I hear it I get this happy feeling and think, "That was the trip where I met about half of my best friends!"  I have never seen Jars of Clay in concert before, so I wouldn't know how that was, but their music has been a disappointment (I think I spelled that wrong) to me.  We do sing a lot of Chris Tomlin at our church, too, but most of our music is by Jesse Reeves, who, I recently discovered, my parents had in their youth group at one point. They got him into his first ever band, and he was apparently really good. I don't know if you've heard of him, but I just thought it was a cool connection to have. : ) [[User:Powered by The Kate|Powered by The Kate]] 22:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I noticed you've been playing with your userpage to figure out how all of the markup code works here.  It's certianly the right place to do it, and you are more than welcome to, but I have one requestRight below the edit box is a botton called ''Show Preview''.  You can click on it to show what the page will look like when you do save the changes, but it won't create an entry in [[Special:Recent Changes|Recent changes]], which can get flooded rather quickly if you save every edit without a preview.  It just makes things a lot easier for everybodyThanks, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 12:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

:One thing I have realized while being here is that there are a few trump cards in this wiki.  It's Dot Com, JoeyDay, and Tom are a few.  There was a series of times within a 10 minute period where you continually reverted edit that had already been fixed.  I can't say that I have never done that.  But as noted on your talk page, this wasn't the first time that you had been told not engage in a reverting war.  I am one of many people that patroll recent changes, and it seemed that all I was doing for 20 minutes was changing things back that you had done (most of which, were corrected by Its Dot Com).  If memory serves me correct, you were deleting whole sections and images that didn't need to be deleted (except one, I will grant that one of your deletions was in fact a good one).  So yes, at that time, I was frustrated and wanted you to stop changing pages that were just fine.  Wiki pages undergo intense scrutiny to I think a laughable level.  So if you see a fun fact from a toon that aired 2 months ago, chances are, its a good one.  Grammar and spelling changes are always welcome, but give more thought before you delete whole fun facts that have been there for months.  {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Invisible Robot Fish. Just so you know, you can only have one personal image on your userpage.

Today I tried to make a wikipedia account and it told me that there was already a Invisible Robot Fish, I thought first "how odd...that someone else would have that name" then I thought "perhaps I already made an account and forgot."  Then today, when going through Tampo's old userpage I came across {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Tampo&diff=next&oldid=335875 this edit}}.  I guess that I shouldn't expect much from someone as annoying as Tampo, but I'm puzzled why he chose me since I can't remember having any dialogue with him.

Hello IRF. I was reading your userpage, and I noticed that you have apparently been around H*R for quite some time, perhaps one of the longest on the whole Wiki. Which got me thinking. Just how long have you been around, and how much do you remember about the pre-2002 era of H*R.com (the point where Live Journals runs dry as source info for [[H*R.com updates 2001]]). I look forward to hearing from you. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

:I can't remember when I discovered the wiki.  I was a big Homestar fan starting about the end of high school, to my freshman year in college which was 1999 or 2000 (wow that was 3 computers ago!).  I don't remember when I discovered the wiki but I know that I kicked around here for a LONG time before I actually got a username and starting contributing.  As to what was on the site at that time, your asking me to invade memories that have long been washing away by many long nights at O'Sullivan's Wharf (Sully's we called it) in Norfolk, VA.  I really don't remember.  I do remember when 'Search for the Yello Dello' came out. Can you imagine a H*R world in which we didn't yet know that Coach Z couldn't say the word job?!?!

:::That's impressive. I only jumped on the bandwagon about the time [[labor day]] came out ([[suntan]] was the very first thing I saw, even before the main page or anything. My cousin sent me a link while chatting on MSN with me). Although I'm not sure if it was quite 1999 when you first found it, H*R.com started January 1st 2000. I guess you probably found it mid to end 2000. You remember before there were [[Strong Bad Emails]] I assume. I am curious though, do you remember how you first found it? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Hmmm, there were definately a few emails, so perhaps my timeline is off, but I went to college in 2000 and it was a friend of mine that showed me it.  H*R was a cult thing (in a good way) on our hall (which was really cool since no one else knew about it yet).  We'd cruise the site, d/l from napster (still legal then) and then play either ''Motorcross'' through the LAN or ''You don't know jack''.  Ah college was certainly worth the 100 Grand I blew on it. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:32, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::Hmmm... Quite a quandry then. Sounds like it must have been sometime in 2002 then, since the begining of [[H*R.com updates 2002|2002]] had a total of 8 [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

::The reason I ask is that there's this anonny who keeps making lots of changes to several pages. Some of his edits are good, and some are not. Occasionally we'll go through all his changes and keep the ones that should stay and revert the ones that shouldn't, but lately it has been so much trouble that often the whole page gets reverted. That's not a very elegant solution, but he has ignored repeated attempts at communication by several users via his talk page.

:::Sweet mother of mystery! I didn't know ''Paint'' had PNG.

::::::::::Cool, group participation.  Exactly, the notation above states is that as you approach zero from the right or 0<sup>+</sup>the limit is +&infin; but when you approach 0 from from the left or  0<sup>-</sup> the limit is -&infin;.

:::::::::::Hmmmm. I should've known better than that (I did actually study the stuff you know).  I have the urge to go back and fix the mistake and pretended it never happened, but Alas... It would make even less sense if I do.  So yes, I should've written <sup>lim</sup><sub>n &rarr; 0</sub>+ (1/n) = +&infin;.  0+ more specifically means approaching from the positive to that number, and 0- approaching from the negative to that number (we can generalize it to any number).  In fact... and this one *should* be correct... <sup>lim</sup><sub>n &rarr; a</sub> f(n) exists if and only if <sup>lim</sup><sub>n &rarr; a</sub>+ f(n) = <sup>lim</sup><sub>n &rarr; a</sub>- f(n) (and of course they both exist).  This is exactly what you showed above in the graph.  It is a very obvious definition, but it is defined nonetheless. Somewhere; not sure where.  The [[Wikipedia:Limit_%28mathematics%29#Formal_definition|formal definition]] of the limit says something totally different from what I just mentioned and is actually a different beast using epsilon-delta notation which takes a while to understand. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

:Hi there Lazylaces, lemme start by saying that I'd be happy to help with your sig since it looks like you are having trouble.  First, you can't trick media wiki by using the ascii characters in lieu of things like <nowiki>[[ | ]] or ://</nowiki>. It will interpret them as seperate characters.  I see that you are trying to put a picture in your sig.  Might I suggest that you see [[Help:Signature|this page]]. Once you have the sig setup on a subpage and have followed the steps in the above help page, then all you'll have to do is type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to stamp your name and date.  Also I think the desired effect that you are looking for can be gained by typing <code><nowiki> [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Lazylaces http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/3/37/grinning_marzipan.png/19px-grinning_marzipan.png]</nowiki></code>.  Now, as for P-mail, [[The Paper]] has been a staple of SBEmails for like, forever. Actually forver is accurate.  This is a count-down to when the paper is supposedly replaced.  Some might think that nothing will happen on email #173, but I am not one of them. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The word '''Since''' implies that the following part has something to do with the earlier.  Being a sequal has nothing to do with a budget.  Further, it's a cartoon...there is no budget.  It's a cartoon made up by SB.  It's done in a cheasy 70's style with props that SB made, much like Space program.  This is like saying that "The SBASAF must have a low budget because the ship is just made out of cardboard.  It's just a backyard fantasy.

::Maybe I just need claryfication on something.  Are we writing this information as though the world of Homestar Runner is "real" or just as a webshow? Reason being I seem to find examples of each.  Second, most movies sequels '''DO''' have a larger budget than the original film (Exapmles include Star Wars, The Matrix, Jaws, etc.).  Finally, perhaps my "fact" should be revised and maybe put into the trivia section.  The main reason I wrote about the budget was to justify the instrumental music in Dangeresque 2, and the fact that there are no flubbed lines in it.  However, since we only see action clips, maybe we just weren't shown any.

In ''this'' case, however, you have uploaded images that are not from h*r.com, but rather from a separate website, which has its own copyrights. Simply giving credit is not enough.

::::::::I am almost ready to roll out my latest website which was very much inspired by the layout of Joey Day's sites.  I'll let you know when its up.  The one program that I wrote that I am particularly proud of is a program that takes a text file and then encodes that text and garbles it up.  The opposite person has the decoder program.  I always wondered that if the NSA got ahold of the encoded text, would they be able to crack it.  I have been coding since I was in junior high school.  I bet that I (and the person I was send the notes to) was the only junior high school student to ever write notes in a cipher based on binary code.  **singing in StrongBad fassion** Let the geekness flow, let the geekness flow ** {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::From what little I know about cryptology, and since I don't know what your encoding scheme looks like, I'd guess that very likely: yes, in a heartbeat.  There are many methods out there to decrypt information based on statistical frequencies and the like, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  You learn fun stuff at a "Computer and Network Security" class. Which um, I shouldn't have skipped today.  Oh did I just say that!? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to see how quickly those functions could do it, because the cipher goes through many transformations.  Although since I don't know any NSA people, I'll have to hold my breathe. First it take the first 3 digits, which correspondes to the Julian date(ie: 001 is Jan 1 and 365 is December 31). Then based on what date the code was made each character is equal to a certain number (ie on Jan 1 the letter "a" might equal 45 but on December 31 "a" might equal 2541). Then it takes the number such as 45 and turns it into binary code (45 becomes 101101).  This eliminates all place value then all the 1's become a random consonant, and the 0's become a random vowel (101101 might become "degmat" or "vowqij") Then using a abridge dictionary file each letter becomes a word that ends in that letter ("degmat" might become "tire'''d''' her'''e''' tu'''g''' clim'''b''' plaz'''a''' too'''t''').  So in that example "tire here climb plaza toot" might equal the letter "a".  This obviously makes for a long output file but the decoder didn't have any problem reversing the process.  Also the date ie 001 remains at the top unchanged. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

| Heh. You get points for being clever. I think that if guestbooks are eliminated (which, by the way, if something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a [[Ducks|duck]]), you could rework this idea into something usable. You could probably take away the table and some of the other structure, but I don't see why you couldn't solicit to have people post comments about your user page here. So long as it doesn't become one of those ducks. ;) Talk atcha later.

I'm sure Matt will appreciate the thought and the fact that we tried to get the card to him before his birthday. Anywho, for all future ventures I now know the correct addresses in which to send packages...and now we now we know Mike birthday too! I R F 20:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Huzzah! Good to know the card is finally in the right hands. (So... when do we get to see it?) --phlip TC 20:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I didn't want to post it until he got a chance to see it. Karen said that she will give it to him this weekend. I will post the pictures tonight. I R F 21:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey, that looks great! Thanks for all the hard work! :-) Loafing 00:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Just wanted to say hi. I have a weekly "saying hi" thing. Your first. See the list here. TheThin 00:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

right back at you. I R F 01:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm here to say hi, too. :3 I haven't been here in a while. I used to write you haikus, remember? :D It's good to see that you all are still active on here. I hoped I wouldn't come back and see that you had all like...died. Powered by The Kate
PBTK, glad to see you back. I was wondering where you went. No, I'll never leave. I'll be chronicling H*R until the hereafter. I R F 15:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Eh, I went to the land of High School, where they make the assumption that you have no life outside of school, and have the magical ability to take up every second of your free time. Powered by The Kate
Ah, I remember that land. I too had no free time but it wasn't because of homework (I just didn't do that stuff), it was all the extra carricular stuff. I did football, baseball, Tae Kwon Do, D.A.F.Y., Invictus (Yearbook club), Cinnabar (Poetry Magazine), and Webmasters for the school website. It's amazing that I had time to breathe.
...and all of that pales in comparison, to try raise one small little boy. Dr. James Dobson described thes little guys in the book Bringing Up Boys as "all rocket, no rudder". How true, how true. I R F 04:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I too just want to say "hi," so hi! I like your user page, (I'm dreading the 1oth email from now - I'll miss The Paper if he does end up gettin' booted) and your "12 Days of Decemberween" contest! That's a really fun idea! Okay... byefornow! kai lyn 22:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, Kai Lyn, I overlooked your comment. Hi. I'm glad that you like my page. also I've noticed that you have made a lot of quality edits right out of the gate, great jorb! I R F 21:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Today's Edition of Stupid Coincidence Magazine

Today I tried to make a wikipedia account and it told me that there was already a Invisible Robot Fish, I thought first "how odd...that someone else would have that name" then I thought "perhaps I already made an account and forgot." Then today, when going through Tampo's old userpage I came across this edit. I guess that I shouldn't expect much from someone as annoying as Tampo, but I'm puzzled why he chose me since I can't remember having any dialogue with him. anyways. One, two, four, email me more.

Hey everyone. I am working on a little project and one small component of it is to capture a screen shot with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad, in it with no other characters in the shot.

Re: [1] - why don't you teach me right here what the hell concensus means? Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 01:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Well...consensus generally means that a group a has come to a common decision. In this page the opinions differ greatly and the users at the time was 5-3 in their opinions. That wouldn't even be good enough for STUFF. So no, there was not a consensus. Of those users that weighed in Tom, It's dot com, and Phlip, thought it was Trogdor, to whose opinion I give much weight. I R F 12:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

What is P-Mail? 19px-grinning_marzipan.png 15:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Lazylaces, lemme start by saying that I'd be happy to help with your sig since it looks like you are having trouble. First, you can't trick media wiki by using the ascii characters in lieu of things like [[ | ]] or ://. It will interpret them as seperate characters. I see that you are trying to put a picture in your sig. Might I suggest that you see this page. Once you have the sig setup on a subpage and have followed the steps in the above help page, then all you'll have to do is type ~~~~ to stamp your name and date. Also I think the desired effect that you are looking for can be gained by typing [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Lazylaces http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/3/37/grinning_marzipan.png/19px-grinning_marzipan.png]. Now, as for P-mail, The Paper has been a staple of SBEmails for like, forever. Actually forver is accurate. This is a count-down to when the paper is supposedly replaced. Some might think that nothing will happen on email #173, but I am not one of them. I R F 15:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
P.S. take a look at my sig for more help as I also use images in this way. I R F 15:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:?

Also, Do you know of any Marzipan and Strong Sad thumbnails? 19px-grinning_marzipan.png 15:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is a little tip that I learned from Phlip, any image, when scaled down saves a smaller image on our server. You can go to the sandbox, take the image that you want, then scale it down to the desired size and don't forget to use show preview. Then right click that image and click properties. The image location should be displayed. When using this image, use the full path and only one [, instead of [[. I R F 15:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] P-mail coundown

I hadn't heard of this Wiki when montage first was released and I wasn't nearly as involved with it before the paper as I am now, but for the record, I'd been counting down to email #173 ever since montage.

[edit] The Pizza Trophy

The rarely-awarded Pizza Trophy

Wow, Invisible Robot Fish, I'm completely blown away by the finished product of Mike's Birthday Card. It looks very professional, and 76" by 48"??? That's like the surface area of a door! On top of that, you did a great job of gathering signatures and facilitating the process for everyone involved.

So, I'm awarding you the rarely-given Pizza Trophy. I've always wanted to give this out, but it's rare that I've seen work that justifies the description:

This is a symbol of outstanding work representing collaborative effort toward a common goal. Superior to the Iron Cup. The Cheat won this award upon successful completion of all seven courses in Awexome Cross.

Thanks so much for all the work you put into this card — I'm sure everyone who signed that card appreciates it! Best, Trey56 15:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Aw, you rock Trey. That made my day, which has otherwise been a sad day. I'm gonnna go now and place that trophy on my mantle. I R F 15:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry — I just remembered why today's a sad day :( I hope the rest of it goes better for you. Trey56 16:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mikes Birthday Card.3

Wow. We sure had alot of messages on there. I will admit, Mike probably appreciated the heck out of it, and you did a fantastic job compiling it. Thanks for letting the Wiki do that! But I have a question, why is 9/25 a sad day? 9/25 was actually my birthday, so I was wondering why it was a sad day. Thanks again for doing the whole birthday card thing! JasonDeLima 02:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Well happy belated birthday to you. It was a sad day because we had to put the family dog down on 9/24. It was a sad day but life goes on :) I R F 16:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the birthday wish, and I'm sorry about your puppy. I've had similar happen, and yes life does go on. Have a great day. =] JasonDeLima 19:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missy's Card?

Hey IRF,

How 'bout we make a card for Missy when her birthday rolls around? I can imagine she's feeling pretty left out right now. Besides, she's just as important as the Brothers Chaps. If you already have one in the works, lemme know. If you don't, talk to me, and I'd be happy to help you organize it and get it together.

Sincerely,
Homestarmy Commando1 23:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I have noticed that she hasn't got a card yet. I agree. Let's make a card for Missy! User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man 23:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad to see that there are others that want to do this. I want to mention 3 things: #1) I am about to go a 2 week vacation and will be out of contact for awhile (for Missy we have some time). #2) Matt's birthday is coming up much sooner that Missy's. #3) I have had the honor and privilidge of doing this twice now. I don't think it would be fair for me to hog this. Out of this experience I have had the opportunity to talk Karen Wagner a few times, which was awesome. I must also talk about access. I am not a sysop so the fact that I was trusted with the address to send things to the TBC is very rare. I think the less people that know such information, the bigger blessing that we can be as awhole to TBC. The LAST thing that we want is for sensitive information to be given to the wrong person (and I'm not imply that any of you are the wrong person) and TBC get tons of fan-mail crap in the mail. For these reasons, I think it best for a sysop or duly chosen user by the sysops to take the helm on this. I R F 11:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, Matt already got a card, but Missy hasn't; I say we put her as the top priority for the moment. I see your point with the Brothers Chaps' mailing address. Not everyone could/can be trusted with valuable info like that. If that info was put in the wrong hands or was somehow leaked, TBC would be flooded with mail, and you, me, Sam, and anyone else involved would take the fall, maybe the whole Wiki, even. Maybe Loafing could be trusted with that. After all, he is a sysop.Homestarmy Commando119:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Loafing lives in New Zealand. It wouldn't be practical to ship something from there. I R F 10:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, let's get a sysop in the States to spearhead that. I really want to help with Missy's card, so I'll feel useful and get some recognition out of it. Do you have any ideas? Homestarmy Commando1
I suggest that you ask a sysop I R F 12:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
HC1: As I said on my page, if you're looking for something to do there are a lot of projects (see HRWiki:The Stick) that are more practical than this. (Do we even know her birthday?) Furthermore, anything being sent on behalf of the wiki would have to go through an administrator (Joey, Tom, or me), not just a sysop. — It's dot com 00:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I've moved this conversation to HRWiki:Da Basement#Birthday cards for TBC et al. — I think it's a community-wide issue we should all discuss... Trey56 00:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar Guru Award

Hey there, IRF. I thought I'd drop by to let you know that the HRWiki:Barnstars page is going to be cleaned, and your Grammar Guru award may be removed from the page. (The image will not be deleted.)

Good to see you around, Mr. Fish, even if it's just for an occasional edit. I imagine life is keeping you busy enough not to be able to wiki much (happens to a lot of the best of us; even my contribs and IRC presence are way down from what they used to be). Good to see you when you can edit, though. Catch you later. Heimstern Läufer 02:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
