Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's also a question of how often you do certain things. I'm often Navigating back and forth in a thread or heading to the Message Center. I rarely need to change my profile.

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

Right, that's another reason why it makes sense to have it (a) in a prominent place but (b) out of the way of the things you're more likely to want to do.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

It's also a question of how often you do certain things.

Oh, wrod, of course. I change my tagline wicked often, so it feels all problematic and urgent to me. But if no one else feels the same way forget I asked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You do have read new and message center at the bottom, you realize?

Of course. I was just describing that one group of links, compared to what's at the top left. I like things just exactly the way they are.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Has there been love in here lately? Because I love this board. It's like, instant feature gratification for the obsessed.

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

I came here tonight to post that VERY thing. I love the builders and the Admins and everyone involved with its existence (and I'm not even drunk).

Hey is it still Hil's birthday? Here's something mathy anyway.

I found this calculation lying around in an old Perl script:

$season_number = int(($episode_number + 9)/22) +1;

where "int" means "convert to integer". It's the calculation to tell you what season of Buffy an episode is from.

I've forgotten how I arrived at it but it appears to work... it might be of use when we're working on the DB?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You can also figure out what episode number it was within the season by adding 10 and then taking it mod 22. (This won't work for season 1).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm confused -- how are the episodes numbered?

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

The table currently stores both season and episode, so we won't actually need it.
