Wouldn't it be slightly simpler to use a prime number of rows and columns?
Slightly, yes! The Arecibo message was 73×23 bits, with the hope that the aliens would break lines after 23 bits. But, i f . t h e s n e i l a . e s . l i k e . o r t s u o b p h e d o n . w . r e d r o e . a r e . k c s . a d n i r e w e d . o a . e h t . n r e c i b o . e g a s s e m . a n y w a y and that's to say nothing of spiraling orders etc.
I like 'conventional' order, and I could figure out your message block.
Give the aliens some credit, they might figure it out.

#254Lol, I love the competitive aspect, draw a little figure then someone comes along and tries to undo it.

The project was wildly successful. I didn't know who eieio was, and now I do. I suspect that's true for lots of people now.
Oh that's Celine Dion minus the consonants
How on earth did you come up with this? Or did you hear it somewhere?
If it’s the former, you need to do improv. You have the gift.
Re: One Million Checkboxes
#256At first I was clicking the top but people kept unchecking my stuff. Why can't we (we ? who's that we ?) all get along toward clicking them all ? So I figured there would be less people fighting down the window, right ? For a while I was alone. It was a boring and meaningless job but it felt peaceful. Then I met someone who's also checking boxes, 5 seconds top, they are gone. Okay, then I kept scrolling, checking box…
I jumped to a random spot, very far down. I decided to write HELLO in checks. I didn't get past the H before someone found me and griefed it. Must this 1 million checkbox ledger of art, devolve into madness? No matter how far I scroll there is nothing discernable. A wasteland of meaninglessness. This is just chaos.
You missed the poor website design that the columns are dynamic with your browser window width, so letters are random for anyone but you

Are you really gatekeeping a silly nonsense site?
I guess I had a bit of a harsh reaction yeah, sorry about that. I came back here and found the site down. It seems to be back up now though and you're right that it doesn't really matter anyway. I still do think that at least some people would prefer even their silly site not being spammed with scripted requests.
I would certainly prefer it not to be scripted. As it is, I can't really enjoy it due to anything I check being undone in an instant by scripts.

#259> "One million checkboxes that anyone can check" > Why > I don’t really know. The idea came up in a conversation last Friday and I felt compelled to make it. The best kind of reason :)
So silly it had to be done.
