Give them a quiz over the rules and if they flunk they can't sign up.

I've had Firefox do stuff like that on occasion, too. Clearing the cache was also the solution. Apparently, the images in the cache get mixed up. No idea why it happens. Back in my Win98/Me days, I even had this happen to desktop icons on a fairly regular basis and had to use something like TweakUI to force an icon cache clear.

The main annoyance with Python lately for me seems to be editing code in an editor and having it give a syntax error because I forgot to set the right tab/indention mode to match the rest of the source. Other than that, I'm pretty familiar with many of the language's other quirks so they don't trip me up as often.

The way I read it, “defensive” seems to be intended to mean that the code is written to handle every conceivable case possible, so that it is very difficult for a bug or malfunction to occur no matter what the user does.

I wonder how Perl and Bash/shell scripting languages would score.  I don't curse in writing, but if I did, I think *nix shell scripting would do it. I can't stand doing it for anything beyond very simple stuff—the interpreters are freaking picky over every tiny whitespace or punctuation detail, the syntax is (IMO) unnecessarily complicated and error-prone, and since parameters are space-separated by default and often aren't enclosed in quotation marks, you're constantly having bugs and glitches with any filenames or parameters with spaces or weird characters that you then get to spend even more time tracking down. Python is my personal favorite language; it's given me the fewest headaches out of all of the languages I've ever used.

To me, it was as if Juju's Minecraft server not being updated was somehow the fault of EFnet falling apart and having such a huge netsplit (for me, since I was on the wrong side and lost it ).

Yeah, thankfully the news-adding system is a lot simpler—it uses a web interface and is similar to writing a forum post with HTML tags, and even has a preview button. Although the site doesn't currently use CSS for styles (though I hear this is in the works), the formatting tags needed are fortunately fairly simple.

I definitely don't plan on leaving the staff any time soon.  The main issue is that all of us active staff members were getting too busy to properly keep up with news. I've also personally been planning on working on some of the deeper, darker areas of the site that really need it at some point and would like to be able to spend more time and resources on that task. So this seems like an appropriate time to find one or more extra people who can focus more on the news posting.

The name “Error” in Zelda II seems to be intentional because there is another NPC in the game who also refers to Error, saying something like “Ask Error of Ruto about the palace.” The theory I often hear is that another NPC named Bagu in the English version was supposed to be “Bug”, to continue with the “Error” pun, but didn't get translated properly. Here are a couple of sources where I found these explanations: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-am-errorhttp://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Error

In case you don't find that challenging enough, there's always this programming language...

Looks nice! This can actually be a more convenient way to do quick, basic searches in some cases than ticalc.org's own search system.
Works fine on my Linux system. You might want to change the first line from “#!usr\bin\env python” to “#!/usr/bin/env python” and set the line ending format of the script to Unix so that it's possible to call it directly without prefixing the command line with “python”.
A couple of other ideas:
* Case-insensitive searching (currently, for instance, searching for “quad” gives different results from “Quad”, so you have to try both to make sure you find everything)
* When downloading, handle duplicate filenames (from files in different directories on the ticalc.org server) by renaming them rather than having them overwrite each other. Example: If you get “Frogger”, you'll end up with several missing files because they're named “frogger.zip” and only one “frogger.zip” remains after the download process)
