Ouch. But.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Although I'm wondering why someone would search for buffistas.org, and not just go there.

Seems to be a pretty common behavior among less net-edumacated folks -- they have the search or portal page set as their home page, and they type in the URL in the search box. Google will now automatically redirect you to any URL entered in its search box precisely because of this behavior, to save people a click.

I noticed that a lot of the quotes in the upper right-hand corner have the episode number -- (Episode 5.11), for example -- attached. But could we have the episode title instead? Cause, for me, I don't know which ep. was 5.11 right off the bat. In fact, I'd probably have to look it up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Someone would have to go through the currently-existing file and enter the episode names, Steph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Steph -- we already had the episode and season numbers stored for most of the quotes, so displaying them was a 10 minute change. Storing and displaying titles is a larger project.

It's just that I didn't notice the (Episode 5.11) until yesterday, so I thought that was new. Guess not.

Yes, it is new, as of yesterday. That was when I did the 10 minute change to put it up there.

Aha! Je comprends.

Heh. For me, Steph, the number means little, but looking it up is easy. If you put the title? It STILL wouldn't mean much to me for many eps ("wait, is that the one where they have sex, or is that the other one, where there's the monster with the claws..."), and I'd have to look up the title anyway. :)
