It's weird, and I can't piece the parts together in the right order.


Part of it is me buying shit in a Leclerc supermarket. It has a dark wood theme to it. I want to buy clothes, but can't find where they are. I reach a place with doors leading to 'hidden' rooms, one of them contains all sorts of make-up items, another door leads to two stairs, presumably staff-only.


In Minecraft. Travelling through a weird map with big, deep pits. There are rabbits, some of them are giant. I can ride them, but riding the giant ones make them become 'normal', and they become giant again when not riding. Bummer.


Another part happens in some kind of natural reserve/park. There's an entrance to something, like an Acmlmboard or ABXD or something. You can see the online users page. My name is Mega-Mario, and someone manipulated my useragent and shows me how to do it. I try doing it, but the useragent needs to be compiled or something. Then there's more weird shit, like a command line to make weed cigarettes. It's configurable, and it's set to make something like this.


And then... back to elementary school, aaarrg. We mess around for a while, and there's a Chinese girl (one I 'know' IRL) who comes to me, asking me things about pizza. Then she sits behind me and chats with the guy next to her.

The teacher starts a dictation exercise. It requires a half-sheet, I have trouble finding a good sheet. I eventually do it, but... by the time I got the date and all the nicely formatted bullshit written, the exercise is already finished. I didn't hear the teacher dictate or anything, but there we are, done, and I failed nicely. wee

Reminded me of that scam/phishing text I got on my phone.

It basically said I had a new voice message, and invited me to click a link [appearing to be a generic voicemail site] to check it out.

Nevermind that voicemail notifications don't even work like that.

this has a flaw in that it doesn't order the selected IDs explicitly


kind of a miracle that it has worked properly at K64 for all that time

This is being tested on Kuribo64. We'll see how it goes.

Last dream involves something happening at home. At some point, a loud bang, and the windows shatter. But there aren't glass bits on the floor or anything, the glasses have just disappeared.

Also, watching the 2016 season of Fort Boyard, way in advance. They painted the fort blue with some big red writing or something. The ambiance is very dark. Candidates need to pass a challenge to enter, then they get 15 minutes to collect keys. Odd.

There was more to it, much more, but you guess where it went.

It's another of those dreams where I'm back to elementary school. I'm mostly myself and not a child, though. I enter the school, try the doors and all. I enter the kitchen. I act like I'm taking shit from a closet and then leaving and locking the door, but the closet and the door key don't exist. Weird.

I wander around in the school building. It's weird, there are multiple rooms and some are bedrooms or other weird things. It's like in some castle.


Another part with me in my room, my sister in her room. She's trying to fix her iPod dock. At the same time, the dock is playing a song that is a somewhat modified version of the Ghostbusters song. It's from a version called 'SOS Costume' or something weird, where the Ghostbusters are all women.


There was also a part with a laptop I had that had two CDROM drives and two floppy drives. Odd.

That's one thing, atleast on my board. Rendering posts takes time, and especially, running them through the post filter.


Some possible optimizations, mostly discussing them:


Storing posts preparsed to a point

* can't fully preparse them as some markup will be dynamic (/me, user tag, etc)
* very little work when rendering posts
* any change to markup requires reparsing all the posts (can be done by just marking them dirty and reparsing them when needed, but eh, complication)
* takes twice as much DB space (need to keep the original post)


Detecting which tags are present before running the postfilter
... and only running the needed filters

* would probably only benefit big posts if done on individual tags
* could benefit a lot of posts if done on a global level though (ie. if post contains no BBCode at all, skip a big chunk of the postfilter)



Oh and PHP also has an extension for parsing BBCode. It won't be available everywhere, but it's still worth looking into. They say it's faster than using regexes, and it looks flexible too.

Well I applied the big optimization to my board (do not run BBCode filters if no BBCode is present)...


According to what I got, only 25% of the posts contain BBCode. Yet, the optimization gives little to no change.

I hate this. There's no progress happening. I'm stagnating. Well it's because there aren't much new people to meet around the places where I go.


What else could I do? Find things to do. I always have the feeling that anything I will try will end up being a waste of time and money. Even moreso as getting to any interesting place from where I live is a pain. And after all the univ bullshit, I just want to get back home.


Or talk to random strangers? Kind of a waste of time too. Maybe an interesting conversation can happen. But if I don't meet people on a regular basis, they just forget about me.
