Whatever happened to the episode database idea?

Everyone loved it. But we got as far as some very complex table-relationship discussions about the best way to do it, and then the discussion fizzled out.

This is a far simpler project in terms of DBs and selects. Table of questions and multiple choice answers, plus a subject-relationship thing so we can have a many-to-many thing going on -- a question about Faith claiming Xander's virginity can be classified under Season number, Faith, Xander, Sex, and possibly "Up With People" references too...

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

Burrell, you were at 1180 posts (1183 now).

My two cents on the practice project:

  • I'm biased more in favour of the episode guide (and wasn't it unslick of me to bring it up now, like it's either or, and distract from John's idea? Yes, it was, and I apologize) because I want one to use, right now.

  • I thought it fizzled because of timing (no more ideas to detract from the Phoenix!), not because of the complexity -- we had at least two comprehensive table designs completed, and interesting discussion.

  • I've wrapped my head around the architecture of the episode guide, and while I will promise no code, I will be available for/inclined to suggest/argue. Which may detract or recommend or neither.

Burrell is 11th! So at least I'm in good company with her and with DX in 13th....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I knew I'd find the answer scary. But Kat's right, it's good company.

I'm only at 539. oops 540. I just used the search function to add 'em up.

OK, I need to know, where am I on this list?

And how many times did I mention porn?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think I'm #9. On the whole, I imagine that I'm pleased.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I'm probably way down the list, due to that whole attending school thing.

Also, I think I volunteered to help with the episode guide, and that still stands. I'd be happy to help with the quiz stuff, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wow. I'm in the top ten (just). How 'bout dat.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

edit: and maybe if I spent less time posting and more coding ... at the moment I top the poster list, with more than 400 more posts than the next person.

I've been slacking here, haven't I?
