Don't worry about Alvin, I was blaming you completely. :xd:

That might be the single best thing you've ever written and I agree.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
So, Wapitikev, looks like you're pretty much done with Demonsong. Moving onto anything else soon?

Currently 50 pages into Black Wind in preparation for BTS which shipped from Amazon.ca on Sunday. Then it's on to Jack: Secret Histories, which also shipped on Sunday.
After that I am re-reading the cycle over again, starting with The Keep (I'd start with "Aryans and Absynth" but, despite FPW hinting at how it ties in later, I am still hopelessly in the dark) so, in the meantime, I am waiting for someone to volunteer to do that one (or any other one) and I'll lend a hand editing it.
Besides, I still have to code the Demonsong Wiki into wiki-speak and post it.
In addition, work and life have meant far less time for hanging out here, letely. Things will not settle back down for me until August. Until then, I'll only have time to pop in for short periods, here and there. I hope everyone has a good time while I'm gone. With so many other new board members, I'm certain not to be missed.
I only regret that I don't have the time to invent a horrible melodrama and then storm off in a huff.
Heh.
See everybody (much) later.

There is a new plugin for Firefox 3.x that is designed for online management of personal research...it's called Zotero
It's interesting because not only can you create custom collections of works bibliographically, you can also add full-text, highlight text and add sticky notes notations, add complete web-pages, images, etc. to make robust dynamic content. Items can also appear in multiple collections (like a 3-D database).
What is most interesting is that there is a server-side expansion in the works for Zotero...it will let users share his/her Zotero collections and entries (all notes, etc) with others and allow collaborative collections of research...kind of like what we were talking about in this thread.
One example of what this means is: we could take an entire Wikipedia page for one of FPW's works, add a copy of it to our shared space on Zotera and collectively tear it apart and put it back together the way we know it should be...and never once be held hostage by Wiki-editors.
Another example is that an in-progress article could be posted as text and multiple people could edit the thing at the same time with each editor seeing the other editor's notes.
These are only some of the possibilities.
Even thought the server side part has not been released yet, I am going to start using the browser-side tool for building my connections database as I begin re-reading the Adversary Cycle..who knows, once I get to know the ins and outs I may even tackle the my next Adversary Article using it

Sweet! Let us know how it works. It sounds really great for what we want.

I am also checking out Google Documents as a possible group editing solution for this project. It lets you upload a file to Google Docs and work on it from anywhere on the web...it also purports to allow access by others that I authorize. It may have the advantage of not requiring Firefox 3 (since some here do not seem to like Firefox).
More after I learn how to use it.

Our Wiki is in development. Updates soon.

I've seen a couple of people mention that they have character lists, and fix-it lists. Would these people be willing to contribute their lists to our Wiki?

Like the new sig, Stephanie.
You may have to search out and PM the people who've mentioned this. Many, like me, seem to be checking in only sporadically during the summer.
