Definitely needs tweaking... I choose "is funnier than the gods". But I got a /msg from root saying "So about that date with your sister, how's 29 Nov 02 20:00:00 -0600?" Too late to change my answer now!	[reply]

Currently the poll screen is showing gods in brackets, not as a link, so I put "needs more testing."	[reply]

Definately the best option. You can never have enough testing.	[reply]

The "funny" options shouldn't be too good, otherwise no one really answers the polls anymore. Of course I voted for the sister option, and I don't even have one.	[reply]

LOL, i voted the same thing. I think it's pretty nice though I guess for the admins not to have to change it themselves every once in a while. Just feed it polls and let it do it's own thing periodically.

I agree, less work into the fun features, and more work into the important features. Mind you I don't know how the backend works, never actually looked at the product from the Everything Company.

Re: The new automated poll-producing code... by Molt (Chaplain) on Nov 20, 2002 at 10:59 UTC
Okay, so either Perlmonks is a very closely-related site, or the poll-producing code wants to date well over one hundred sisters- which is a large quantity by anyone's reckoning. What I want to know is when the sister-dating code is going to be released as a stand-alone module. I've spent a few weeks working on a stranglely-customised content-management system but, much to my disappointment I've not managed to get it wanting to date anything other than a goldfish.	[reply]

"Wants to date my sister" enjoys 2 percentage point lead `Garlic Leaf staff writer Biff Johnson -` Surprise front-runner answer to automated poll pulls away to a 2 point lead in today's cleverly worded poll question. The question, "The new automated poll-producing code..." offered several interesting responses including the front-runner, as well as "works" and "sucks." The runaway popular choice, "Wants to date my sister" polled at 21% and the next most popular choice, "works" came in at 19%. `-- 30 --` Shouldn't those be combined? ...All the world looks like -well- all the world, when your hammer is Perl. ---v	[reply]

The poll system better keep its dirty hands off my sisters. I have heard things that I care not to mention about this polling system, and frankly, I don't want it near any female members of my family. work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after our work is never over.

Re: The new automated poll-producing code... by BioHazard (Pilgrim) on Nov 20, 2002 at 21:44 UTC
When I saw this poll I thought about creating a poll of a poll, because I always try to imagine how many people voted for each option. I think I am a quite good guesser() ;-) I chose 'has no imagination', because I could not live with automaticly created polls ;) () Does this word exist?

The poll hasn't changed in two weeks. That nukes the "prevents stale polls" option for me, and gives more weight to the "needs more testing" and "has no imagination" options. -Logan "What do I want? I'm an American. I want more."	[reply]

logan - LOL. I was also thinking that the new 'automated poll producing code' doesn't appear to be automatically producing anything at the moment :-) To give it the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the code works fine but someone forgot to modify the crontab so that the job actually runs every (insert frequency here)? -- vek --	[reply]

How about a running thread of poll submissions. The poll code grabs the highest modded one every X weeks and slaps that on the front page, or into an "is this ok for the fp queue"? _14k4 - perlmonks@poorheart.com (www.poorheart.com)	[reply]
