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.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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.

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.

Well there were only 12 in the first season and 22 in all subsequent seasons, so that's why it's fiddly.

Mine just had numbers, but I used the formula to go back and populate the fields automatically based on the number. One of those things where figuring out a formula took longer than just typing the info in, but, cooler.
Shall we make some kind of more public announcement about the database idea, like the call for adoptions thing? Should we wait for some date when things quiet down in Christmas-celebrating countries? Should it have its own thread? Are we short of coders?

No, I mean, aren't they numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc? Why would there need to be a formula at all?
