Founder of the Colorless

Web developer && Computer Science student

I'm the guy who created the Durarara-eque chat back in March 2010 and later developed the message board and other modules of the site. I refactored the code about 4 times with significant visual and functional changes. I am satisfied with the outcome and as such no longer developing it. I am also no longer the administrator of the site, for that, see @Warlock.

I like tea and calculating statistics. I am a big fan of the scientific method, and as such, an atheist. My Internet identity has its roots in the so-called aniblogosphere, but I am not interested in Japanese animation anymore.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Testing.

  • In New radio page

    @michaelrnz Maybe the track was streamed as mp3. There really are a lot of inconsistencies with Icecast2 and different source clients and all that. If the radio would be as important as the chat, I would take the time to code my own solution.

  • In New radio page

    It should work with most modern browsers. Yours needs to support two things: the <audio> element and OGG Vorbis sound.

    If the demand will be high enough, we will code up Flash fallbacks for it.

  • In Web development : Rails, J2EE, symfony2 ?

    @CrimsonAlchemist You didn't look like a complete noob, sorry if I sounded like I thought you are. Workflow is basically your preferred way to develop, one that you apply over and over, e.g. by using the same framework, a version control system, and a certain server stack (in your OP, it was "PHP + jQuery"). I didn't go into it though, indeed.

    I never said Laravel was Ruby. It is PHP. I didn't use Zend or Symfony2 yet, I have, however, used CodeIgniter. The Colorless uses CodeIgniter. Laravel uses the most recent PHP5.3+ features, helps with RESTful routing and gives you a lot of freedom otherwise. CodeIgniter is outdated and quite limiting in how you can develop applications with it.

    Sorry if my reply is not complete. I want to reply quickly, but don't have the time to write everything out right now.

  • New radio page

    I created a new radio page, accompanied by this widget that only shows up when the radio is on air. Would you like to see any other things on the radio page?

  • In JONAH - We cure your homosexuality!

    From a biological point of view homosexuality is a disease simply because it prevents the affected humans from reproducing, the only biological point in life.

    But that doesn't make a lot of sense if you start asking "why reproduce" and "where does it all go". In the end, only our subjective perception of life matters and what we make of it.

    So yeah. It is only a disease if all that matters is ensuring a biological footprint. I don't see it as such. Homophobes should just stop caring about other people's genitalia so much.

  • In Create your own visited countries map

    Oh hello there.

  • In We Used to Have....

    Guys, this is not nice. Stop making the same joke all over again :<

  • In We Used to Have....

    Don't worry, the people are still as unofficial :3c

  • In Genie

    Can someone provide a description of what's in the video? Since this is marked as NSFW, I don't know if I want to watch it.

  • Oh wait no look, "lehitraot" is actually mentioned right above Shalom. Okay.
