atoi()

Regarding your edit to atoi, perhaps I'm being too picky, but I don't feel that strcmp(string, "0") is enough to check for a valid integer. "00", "000", etc are all valid integer strings that describe the number 0.

Power piglet 23:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC) Meh. I'd never even considered that. You're correct. I've reverted it, since it's actually a major flaw. I feel stupid now.

User box creator with template

I noticed you made a userbox here are two useful userbox creators you might be interested in

Userbox Creator with template - designed to easily generate Userboxes and has builtin template.
Userbox Creator with template has religious image database - designed to easily generate Religious Userboxes and has builtin template.

Thanks, but as with most things, I prefer to do it manually. I've actually converted my userboxes to the table format most UBX use these days use, because I had some problems with the {{userbox}} template.

I suppose I'm just weird like that, but I want to do everything manually if I can. Sir Link 07:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

User Box

Hey. You said you could make userboxes for me, and well, can you now? :) First, I would like a Late Night With Conan O'Brien userbox, with this said in it:

This user is always looking into the future... In the year 2000...

I would like it if the background was black, the text green, and the picture being the Late Night logo I changed a little and uploaded: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Conan22.png (I didn't do that good of a job getting the small black spots, but if it ends up bad in the black background, I'll fix it). I would like the "In the year 2000..." part leading to Late Night With Conan O' Brien article, too. The green I would like is hex color #00FF00. If you need to know any more info, please tell me :)

Thanks a lot man! Xihix 17:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I think that image is copyrighted, so I can't use it. It looks really bad when downscaled to 45x45px, too. However, here's your userbox, without the image:

Code

Result

Late Night

This user is always looking into the future... Into the year 2000....

It also adds you to Category:Wikipedians who like Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Hope you like it. Sir Link 19:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah sweet, thanks man. :) Xihix 21:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey dude, I'm changing the Conan userbox to say "Into the year 2000..." instead of "in the year 2000..." Hope it's alright with you. Xihix 02:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

No problemo. Sir Link 07:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject U2 invitation

You have been invited to join WikiProject U2, a WikiProject dedicated to improving the U2-related articles on Wikipedia. You recieved this invitation due to your interest in U2 and/or your many edits to U2 articles. If you would like to join, please visit the project page, and add your name to the list of project members.

Thank you, Dream out loud (talk)

Sorry, but I am, at present, unable to maintain any decent standard of activity, nor do I actually know a lot about U2. I like their music, and that's just about as far as I'm involved with them. I'm in no way a suitable candidate for WikiProject U2. Sir Link 11:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
