Why is that confusing?

See above re: beer for lunch probably.

Model B implies that we put the functionality together, but with a mostly-empty database, then people just enter the data directly. I don't know why but that's the way I always imagined it.

Model A implies two separate and probably simultaneous working parties, one working on the interface, one making lists -- but it also appears to me like duplication of effort. You make a list, then you enter it.

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

I think it's only about modes of work. If work is parcelled to me by actor, I'm going to go through and find everything JM was in, and then I'm going to enter it. You might not. Both of us will have collected everything JM was in and entered it, though. I can start now, you won't start until the system's up.

That's all. Both things still have to be done.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

This is actually from "Reptile Boy."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

do people know about this page ? Cause I'm thinking a lot of the work is done for the episode guide.

There are a bunch of places to gank the info.

AFAIK, our angle would be a) it's ours b) we can vote and rank and stuff c) we'll have the coolest searching options ever.

Mootest of the moot, since no volunteers have stepped forward with offers to code it. Or the quiz, either.

C'mon! All the cool kids are coding.

I just realized, above and beyond guides or quizzes, we have a feature need that's reasonably compartmentalized. Quote editing.

For this I'd love coding and design volunteers.

If I only had a brain...

The second paragraph of this t pre changes font for no apparent reason.

<pre>'They'll turn me in thy arms, lady,
An adder and a snake;
But hold me fast, let me na gae,
To be your warldly mate.

'They'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A grey greyhound to girn;
But hald me fast, let me na gae,
The father o your bairn.
</p>
<p>
They'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A red het gad o iron;
Then hand me fast, and be na feard,
I'll do to you nae harm.

<p>
'They 'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A mother-naked man;
Cast your green kirtle owr me,
To keep me frae the rain.
</p>
<p>
'First dip me in a stand o milk,
And then a stand o water;
Haud me fast, let me na gae,
I'll be your bairnie's father.'

I don't have the code to hand, but we have overlapping tags, but even that doesn't explain to me what formatting is active in the subsequent verses.

Note that I didn't put in the t p tags; all I did was put in the t pre and place blank lines between stanzas.
