Oh sweet bar, you make me happy. Two updates on the same day (kind of... that's how it appeared to me) is awesome!

Whist it's awesome to have 2 updates, bear in mind that it was only a .25% increase in total.
Still, better than nothing at all.

I know, but I still prefer two small updates. It feels more.

Does anyone else here get the impression that we are being gently teased?

Yeah, I got that impression ever since I discovered that there was a riddle of the bar...

If by "gently teased" you mean "being whacked with a 200 pound hammer", I definitely agree...

np: Styrofoam - A Heart Without A Mind (I'm What's There To Show That Something's Missing)

Aw, man....you guys just don't appreciate the amount of work that goes into TCB. We have people each putting in a full day's work so the bar can go up 0.25%, and then people think we're teasing them

Nah, it's rather that I'm not getting any work done on ffdshow like I had planned for today; instead I'm re-playing Blue Rooms - and of course I blame you (and JtRH and BoyBlue and whoever asked for hints on that hold recently and anyone else who politely asks for it) for my constant procrastinating...

np: Styrofoam - You Pretend You Own This Place (Pukkelpop Festival 08-05, Kiewit BE) (Live)

Oh dear, I've made mike cry! that just won't do at all!!

(hugging mike)

mike dear, have a hankie; blow your nose and you'll feel better. We do appreciate the work you're doing, honestly we do, don't we folks???

(patting mike on the back and trying to look encouraging, apologetic and sympathetic all at the same time)

(and ending up with a face like a melted wellie!! )

Of course, if more than one person works on it at a time, it could be even sooner! (or, possibly later, if they take weekends off.... Best not to think about that.)

Of course we all know that throwing more human resources at any project scales the time taken to finish it down linearly.


np: Autechre - Ipacial Section (Untilted)

Time taken as a function of people involved is a parabola with the lowest point at optimal number of people.

More like "chaotically" - it's a fractal, and it grows into the other direction...

np: Autechre - Garbagemx36 (Garbage)

If anyone's curious, the Deadly Bar of Death is clearly still alive, as he's currently logged on. Probably isn't able to stay as active in its old age now.

We better start thinking of a new 'Watch the Bar' thread name once DROD 4.0 is in progress. Oh, I have one! The Revenge of the Revenge of the Watching of the Watch of the Bar Strikes Back Again 4: Explodey Smileys Rule!

I don't know what everyone's getting so excited about. Haven't you all realised that the current bar is just the pre-bar, which is measuring how close the Caravel team are to creating the actual bar.

I'm getting more people asking me lately (not that you are) whether I'm gonna do that. The answer is NO (for great justice).

Who says there's going to be a DROD 4.0?
Now that the SmS's are going to contain new hold elements as well as the actual holds, it seems less necessary for there to be another sequel. Any new content can just be released in SmS's now. Maybe The Bar could even track the progress of those.

I'm sure I don't need to say so, but I have no idea what Caravel is thinking and the above paragraph is just a bunch of unsubstantiated thoughts.
