Notes and news; LJ stuff, wankery, wiki and a ficlet I wrote at work

[misscam]

In them notes:

- I know quite a few on my flist have been enjoying Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and of course, there is already wankery about it. That's totally not surprising.

- A silly Adama/Roslin ficlet I wrote at work. (The challenge was to get Laura in a flight suit. Hmm, yes.)

- An awesome reply by a librarian to a parent complaining about a children's book about a gay wedding.

- I love wikis. There's the original and supreme Wikipedia. There's even the Fandom Wank wiki. There's the total LOL-worthy Conservapedia. There's the Battlestar Galactica wiki. There's the World of Warcraft wiki. Mmmm. Wikis. You have a wiki love too?

- LJ sort of bringing back basic accounts? Also, there's a possible new profile page look that leaves me decidedly lukewarm. (Also, I'm starting to desire a just Adama/Roslin LJ layout. I am ever sad.)

- Discussions one should never have while eating lunch with colleagues at work - what actually happens to the human body when submerged in cold water for long at sea. (Answer: A whole lot of extremely uncomfortable things.) Even if this is quite relevant for a sea-faring country such as Norway. I still have no appetite :(

Wheee weekend.

- Wiki's are love.

- So is Dr. Horrible.

- Wankery sucks.

- I can make you an Adama/Roslin banner to match the current layout, if you like :-)

- I shall click all links when I am not as work, as I they always absorb me so.

TV Tropes. It's sort of a Wiki. I will, however, warn you that it eats your free time like a free time-eating thing. A good example of how engrossing it is? When I first found it, and began reading, after about 4 hours, I had 186 Firefox tabs. 174 were TV Tropes.

Thanks for the plug. :)

Oooh, that could be very awesome - maybe with images from The Hub and Revelations? Because those two episodes really had the loveliest scenes.

Oh, work. I am just done with mine for the day :P

LJ's profile page is absolutely fine as it is. I love how neat and simple everything is.

Why do websites always fix what isn't broken? Why does the "after" result always look absolutely awful?

They really, really do. I think I can work something up this weekend. If there are any specific scenes that you want included, just send a link. Got any text you want to go on it?

Oh, work. I am just done with mine for the day :P
Three more hours on my end! Then the weekend arrives! *bounces*

I likes me the new profile.

There were some international viewing problems with Dr Horrible for about ten hours after the release of act 1, but they've been resolved. If you're still not seeing it, you're probably getting a "video not available" message in Firefox? Try ie and it should work, Dr Horrible is freely available all over the world. Until Sunday anyway. I've seen both and I'm in Holland. GO SEE IT.

Dr Horrible is available outside of the U.S. they had problems the first day, but they were resolved. :)

Librarians are awesome. I squeed when I saw that on dark_christian.

I'm undecided about the new profile thing. As a rule, I don't like change.




They even have a Terminator Wiki. *loves*

Last scene of The Hub and the hug/hand-holding of Revelations, I'm thinking. I can supply screencaps if needed.

Text, text... Well, the current one can still be used unless I think of something cleverer.

I love Fridays for that pure glee when realising weekend is here. Wheee.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I'll see if I c an manage now then. And yeah, I tend to use Firefox quite a bit, but I do have IE on this comp.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Universal law of suckitude.

[skybound2]

Nope, you don't need to provide screencaps :-) I can make them! I'll stick with the same text for now, and just change it up if you come up with something else!

Weekends are awesome, and not nearly long enough.

The librarian's reply is total WIN. Also, dear parent, if you are so concerned about the content your child is reading... you read it first.

As an English teacher, I get to expose my students to many types of texts. It's my job. I ALWAYS read/view them first, even if they are rated appropriate. (well, if we're studying them I have to be familiar with them anyway. But many times it's last-day-of-school babysitting video type stuff--and it doesn't do to just whack anything on because it's rated PG. Plus kids are crafty--I had one student very carefully change the labelling on an MA rated DVD hoping that I'd play it in class. But I won't play anything I haven't seen, so no dice kid.)

I watched both Acts I & II in the UK yesterday via Firefox with no problems.

Made myself a Dr Horrible icon too ;-)

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I discovered that the other day. Same thing. I went burrowing through looking for all the ones relating to my favourite tv shows.

Dr. Horrible had some start trouble, but it works just fine outside the US now. And it is entertaining in a way… that… I can totally see Dr. Horrible being Barney Stinson's secret alias... :D

[bex245.livejournal.com]

I loved your flightsuit!Laura ficlet from earlier! XD

Brilliant letter about that book. I can't believe someone would complain about a book for those reasons to begin with in modern society. Well, no, I can believe it and I'm not surprised but still...

*turns on beta testing* *looks at profile page* *turns off beta testing* =/

I vote for an AR header. XD

This idea fills me with joy. Oh, Barney. ♥

I know quite a few on my flist have been enjoying Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (which us non-Americans are denied, woe!)
No, it isn't. I'm in the Philippines, and I get it just fine.
