- 22:05:44: @demiurgent Nope. Just proved experimentally, it was the datacloud.
- 22:24:38: Most all those figures're wrong. RT @demiurgent the Rani and the Valeyard had 3 stories, but 8 episodes for the Rani vs 18 for the Valeyard.
- 22:36:37: @demiurgent Okay, but ToaTL was 14 episodes. Where do they get an 18 episode count for the Valeyard? What four-parter am I missing?

- 12:33:01: @demiurgent Mea culpa - there were twits about that earlier that somehow show on your profile but not my follow list.
- 13:32:34: I've given up on catching up on comics I miss when comics.com pages won't load.
- 13:35:36: There's no way to make the formatting on an Excel cell conditional, is there?
- 13:45:52: @talkendo It's Excel 2003. I was wondering whether a cell could be date-formatted sometimes and time-formatted others.
- 13:50:53: @talkendo I would want this cell time-formatted when a second cell is equal to a third.
- 13:57:09: @talkendo Okay. That's what I thought. Thanks anyway. (But, with 2007, you can?)
- 14:15:00: @talkendo Cool! If I ever upgrade ...
- 14:32:39: @talkendo I'll bear that in mind, but it's not reason enough for me to give up on the bird in my hand. Thanks for checking.
- 16:58:40: @ephant I'm on Excel 2003, which doesn't do that. @talkendo already addressed this for me, but thanks.
- 20:12:48: Seeing Planet of the Apes again after years of Twilight Zone marathons on SyFy, it's astonishing how obviously a Serling script it is.

That much closer to caving.
Oct. 26th, 2009 11:24 pm I followed links through demiurgent's daily Twitter echo post including a tweet about something called StripsApp that was distributing webcomics on the iPhone without the creators' permission. By the time I looked the app creator had replaced any illicit content with an abject apology ... but along the way I looked to see whether the login name akotas is available on Twitter.
Out of koolaid
May. 2nd, 2008 12:34 pm I just don't get Twittering. Even demiurgent's Twitters are banal to me. And I waited a week to say so, so I could be certain.
Several months ago I posted here a comment I never got to write in the comments on fanfiction under a Websnark post. It occurs to me that there's a comment I did make in that discussion which also ought to be preserved here.
The element of writing fanfiction that is least understood by the Why don't you just create your own characters? school of detractors is that it's the loved characters which provide the inspiration.
Melville was inspired by whaling. Graves was inspired by history. White was inspired by Le Morte d'Arthur. Eric [Websnark, demiurgent] is inspired by mythology, superheroes and science fiction. I am inspired by the Doctor, Captain Kirk, and Buffy Summers.
When I started Arthur, King of Time and Space (which may or may not constitute creating my own characters when Arthur commands a starship and Merlin has a time machine), I had already been uploading daily Doctor Who crossover cartoons to the web for five years. And I haven't stopped them since AKOTAS - for daily updates from me you have to go to AKOTAS, but much of my most (and least) inspired humor and pathos can't be migrated there because it's just too character-specific.
What do you write about? You couldn't, and wouldn't, stop - or switch to a different subject or genre - just because your family and friends didn't understand, could you? Perhaps you've even tried, and found it wouldn't work? That's because this is something you're passionate about, isn't it?
