When using a language, having more words at your disposal not only makes you sound smarter, but enables you to express yourself more clearly. Therefore, a better about swearing is not to avoid it altogether, but to avoid every third sentence in your speech being a swearword. This does not just apply to swearing; "like" and "totally" should be treated the same way. Of course, swearing should be avoided altogether when you are speaking to someone who may be offended by it. This is not about censorship (or this "political correctness" crap - I can say crap, right?), either; it is simply about being polite to other people so they like you more. Unless, of course, behaving in a way that makes other people like you isn't your style. :P [ Thursday, June 28, 2007 19:42: Message edited by: jg.faust ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

I think it would be brilliant as a scenario idea! Although long texts don't lend themselves well to Blades. I think this particular one might take as many as 3-4 dialogue boxes to fully relate, if it's not mercilessly cut... -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Well, I like genesis myths (sorry for dredging this up), so I found this one quite intriguing. I wrote something in that fashion once (but woefully padded and written in a forced archaic style, that I fortunately improved a bit in editing). Any larger context? Who is the main character, and who are the "others", and why is it in second person? :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

:mad: Wha-- Oh... Why... You... You mean, general rules you have--- wait, nevermind. Geez, I can get excited sometimes. When you link or include ("hotlink") an image all that is stored on the server is what you type into the text area. As an example, we'll take the Google logo: [img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img] When you view a page, the server converts this and sends you the following:<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" /> Your browser will then know that at this point in the page, it should download and display the image, like so:Irony Central does not even have an idea whether the image actually exists. It never lands on their server. And saving this for last: When you include an image, you're taking up less space, since the code for the hotlink is shorter than that for the link: Of course, this is a difference of a few letters, so it really is completely pointless. Anyway, technical rant over. :rolleyes: [ Tuesday, June 26, 2007 12:18: Message edited by: jg.faust ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

I think it's more about us technically being customers, but not acting in that official capacity while on General. :P (Keep in mind that Jeff actually does read and occasionally reply to General topics; it's not like we're unwelcome loiterers here. I guess it's just when the board exceeds 50k posts that it needs to be trimmed.) -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Ha! Take that, Murphy! It is the week of my presentation and I do not need to spend my evenings desperately monkeying with PHP! --- Correction Sara: If you'd paid attention you would have noticed that the entire boards are archived and still being synchronized now. This post should appear on PPP within the hour. However, I may want to bump a few of the topics that were really nice. For example, the conclusion of MoS deserves a stay of execution for now, and I'll dredge up the Reloaded threads too, of course. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

The bit about it being possible in theory but not actually feasible was the whole rest of the exploit. We experimented a bit and were able to accomplish a few cool things by accident, but I think we never managed to actually understand how it all worked together. 16th century alchemy, sorta. Also, Laz: Did Lighting work in Mac too? Otherwise, we have a nice balance - Mac players get to reset their automap, Windows players get lighting changes... -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
