I'm going to busier for approximately a month and a half....but

I'll try to keep up with posting and my slist, aclist, flist, and other stuff.

I'm taking some online courses in HTML, Herbs, and some other miscellaneous stuff. So, the study time is going to eat into my slist, clist, flist reading and posting time for a while. So if a few days go by without you hearing from me, don't think I've disappeared.

I'm learning to build a web page in my beginning HTML class Wheeeee! This includes making folders for web pages, and loading them by FTP. That's definitely a new thing for me. The class starts from the ground up in learning HTML. Yeah, I know there's a ton of things online, but the lesson materials explain a lot of things that I haven't seen addressed anywhere else, in very clear understandable, and easy to read language. The lessons tell you what and how to do, and explain why you're doing it that way.

Crossposting

Okay, this is for those who have free accounts, or regular paid accounts. The number of crossposts you can make are somewhat less than for the highest paid tier.

• Deepest Sender : Is a Firefox addon for posting to your journals, and I believe it lets you post to several journals at once. (ETA: I've been informed that Deepest sender doesn't post to several journals at once, you'd have to cut and paste and send each one separately. The only benefit you'd have with DS is if you have very little HD space. DS is a small file. And you don't have to open several windows and tabs.)


• Semagic : Which you can set up so you can post to as many journals as you want, all with a couple of clicks.

Sorry, I don't have any Linux/Unix crossposting things to list yet. You guys who use those OSs are not less important, and I have some links somewhere for posting programs for those OSs, I just don't have the time to hunt for them right at the mo. I've done a mini tutorial for setting up Semagic. If you click on the Semagic tag down there, it will bring up those posts if you need it :)

The Hunt For Gollum

The Hunt For Gollum

Awesome excellence, this is an incredible short film, made by fans, just watch it, is all I can say.

This fan made film is just awesome. I mean awesome. I just watched it. It's 40 or so minutes long.

The fantastic creations fans are capable of, doesn't faze me anymore.

When I found fannish things on the internet for the first time years ago, I was blown away by the talented group of people that make up the many branches of fandom, no matter what flag they flew over their particular fannish demesne on the internet.

And since that time, I have had the pleasure of watching fandom grow, and expand to cover just about every area of creative endeavors imaginable.

Icons, banners, pictures, drawings, writing, videos. And now, a short film based on a major motion picture has been made, that is a jewel in the crown of fandom.

I sincerely believe that it would behoove the television, music, and movie industries to make use of the talented fans that have an abiding love for their particular flavor of fandom. These industries are ignoring a pool of talent that can refresh and revitalize their stale, tired old ideas.
