    Isn’t his name Jeremy?

  2.  

    Oh, right!

  3.  

    @ Kyllorac: the first episode’s topics should be either in or very close to the OP, though I was thinking more along the lines of a generic one.

    Anyone else is welcome to submit, too.

    There’s something not quite right about this, but here’s a backup cover image in case of emergency. I’m gonna keep fiddling with it.

    Gimp 2.0 – stock art – Jeremy. If anyone wants Jeremy without all that logo all over him, let me know.

    There. HA! figured it out.

    Not too shabby for a GIMP noob, but I think the mic needs to be a tiny bit bigger. I’ll rework it later this afternoon.

  7.  

    I like the font, but shouldn’t the mic be in front of Jeremy’s beak?

    It looks kinda funny like that, actually. The image is too spread-out. I can upload that version if you want to see.

    [EDIT]: Not as bad as I thought. Here it is, clumsily edited just so you can get the idea – ignore the faint outline of the mic in his outline.

    slinks back into the room

    Hi guys. After forgetting to tell y’all I was going away for a week… I’m back. cowers sheepishly and offers cheap red wine and bedraggled and stringy crysanthemums bought from the local store as a last-minute apology gift

    Inkblot, I love that second version; it looks fantastic. If you want to clean it up, I’m happy to use that as the first episode’s art. We can always rotate cover art, too, so that people who want to contribute can do so.

    Sly, I need to re-edit the id3 tags on the mp3 (was waiting for the title to be confirmed), add a little exposition for people who stumble upon this and have no idea what sporking is, and then I’ll send you a link, as well as the transcript, by this time tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, I’m going to try and get up my momentum, which was thrown way off by the dismality of the second recording attempt. It’s lame, but that’s the reason why I haven’t organised much lately. Probably I’ll get a few of the same people from the first episode to be on the second one, instead of going with basically all-new people, because the likelihood of technical problems and other stuff is lower.

    It’s so pretty, Inkblot!

    This is totally off-topic, but that fanfiction article about halfway down the first page of this topic is really thought-provoking and interesting.

  13.  

    So for people who are interested, we’re recording the next episode (2) tomorrow. Topics are: ‘breaking dawn and how badly it’s going to go’ and ‘fanfiction’. Yays.

    And sooner or later we’ll figure out the whole posting of episode 1.

  14.  

    I’d love to participate in the podcast, but I’m not sure I have time tomorrow! Sorry. :(

    I look forward to hearing both episodes!

  15.  

    Sorry, that came out wrong. Let me rephrase: “For people who are interested in hearing about what’s happening with the podcast at the moment…”

    All right. Those two are next up.

    I’m assuming Rorschach and SWQ will be joining us.

  24.  

    When would we be recording? It would be optimal to do it during Thanksgiving break, right?

  25.  

    I… suppose… so…

    Actually, I have no idea. When’s Thanksgiving/Thanksgiving break?

      CommentAuthorBeldam
    • CommentTimeNov 12th 2011
     

    Thanksgiving, like easter, is a brain damaged holiday that has no set date. It’s on the fourth thursday of November, I think, but my family just celebrates it on the 24th every year—at least, it feels that way. Don’t know when Thanksgiving break is though.

  26.  

    I will not be at home on the fourth Thursday of November. If we’re talking this kind of time frame, I’m not going to be available between the 26th of November and the 4th of December.

    •  
      CommentAuthorTakuGifian
    • CommentTimeNov 12th 2011
     

    Beldam, Easter has a very particular date, relating to the cycle of moons. It’s the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox each year. As Easter (Eostre) was originally a seasonal holiday based on moon cycles, this makes sense. The Christians just piggybacked on an existing holiday, as they did for nearly every “Christian” holiday.

    Thanksgiving, however, has no such excuse.

  27.  

    Thankyou, Taku! I knew there was some kind of system.

    Thanksgiving used to be the last Thursday of November. Retailers, in an attempt to squeeze in more Christmas shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, lobbied to have it moved to the fourth Thursday in November, where it has resided ever since.

    Really, it’s not all that hard, you guys! :P

  28.  

    :)

    I am so, so happy. Because the podcast recording worked this time.

    The first one will be up as soon as my head stops spinning.

  29.  

    YES!!!!

    By the by, I am actually planning on writing one of my app essays on the podcast. :)

    I definitely agree with the notion of not deleting, but rather keeping to possibly cannibalize later. For one thing, I thing it makes the editing process easier. Sometimes you have to kill your pet ideas and so setting them aside makes the decision a little more straight forward then eradicating them.
