badninja.livejournal.comYO! I made a suggestion over on the DE post and Steph directed me to make it over to the general public, so I am obeying these orders as they have been made. Feel free to tell me if this is crazy/silly/whatever - I won't mind! I'm concussed, I know I'm crazy. I'm also bored as hell, which is what leads to shit like this.
I found a service today known as Twitter. Some of you may know about it, some of you may not. The purpose of it, for those of you who do it, is for quick blog-updates: 140 characters or less of a status updat. You can make as many or as little as you want, and it's basically a quick-ditch summary of some particular detail going on at the moment. For an example of one in action, you can find mine here.
So Mandy's abused little head put two and two together and said five, and I was thinking about the fact that throughout the history of the game, we've tried various ways to keep up summaries of the various plots of the game. While the pimp posts were originally started as a replacement for the lack of any sort of news feature, they only cover what people take the time to pimp. There's a lot more out there in the bar than what's featured, really. So! Here's my idea.
For those who are so inclined, if people kept up these things for their characters, and we had a master lj-post or website with a bunch embedded, it'd be an easy way to keep up with characters in the bar in ways that is harder to do from day-to-day. Rather than being dependant on one person to summarize a whole day, it's merely dependant on you yourself to type out 140 characters every time you make an entrance or an oom that summarizes how your character is at the end of it. Or make another update if you feel it's necessary! For example, if I were to make a twitter for Ikki, after threading with Coyote last night, I would have made a status update that went 'Migratory Birds can't fly any longer. Considering all the should have and would haves and getting nowhere fast.' And after my afternoon threads today are done, I would drop another status update.
So then if we each just took the time for this and updated it, and we had a master page that kept a running tab on each twitter, then there'd be a page that could be checked whenever one was curious about the various going-ons in the bar!
So. Whatcha guys think?

Mar. 11th, 2008 02:28 pmprob-japanese.livejournal.comJust a brief youtube video-

It's a remote controlled robot car... that transforms into a bipedal, walking robot. And back again.
Who's up for a field trip to either the Hoover Dam or Oregon mountain country?

Mar. 11th, 2008 10:57 pmsilveraspenHi everyone--
Due to a combination of really critical school and work deadlines, I'm going to be essentially unavailable (aside from email) between now and March 25th. There are a couple of exceptions, as follows:
Slowtimes: If I have a slowtime with you, I think I've tagged them all up. (I've sure tried, at any rate!) If I've somehow missed one that you'd like to continue, please leave a comment here with a link, and I'll get to it ASAP.
Already-Planned/Discussed Threads: I'm definitely still interested! If it can wait until the 25th, that would be great, but if it needs to be done and go up beforehand, I'm good for that as well. Please email aspen[at]silveraspen[dot]net to coordinate?
This affects the following characters:
* Sam Winchester (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gavemea_45)
* Moiraine (blue_ajah)
* Jack Sparrow (pirate_jack)
* Kim Ford (bannion_sight)
* Gabriel Tam (gabriel_tam)
* Frank Black (gifted_profiler)
* Megwyn (not_a_horse)
* Blodwen Rowlands (white_flowers)
Thanks, everyone. See you in a couple of weeks.
