The Dance of Section 31
Congratulations to all the secret agents, and good luck with those acceptance speeches. As promised, I’ve added the 2001 ASC results to my Voyager links page. In a flurry of markup activity, I also added the appropriate graphics to B’Elanna’s Award Shelf. (Click to see what B’Elanna the Canon-Correcting Muse won, if you really want to know.) It took me a while, mostly trying to convince the paragraphs to clear: left and updating the story index as well.
I fondly remember the days when I would have free time left in the day after a site update for, say, writing fic. Speaking of which, Jade has entered Carpet of Blossoms in the Ripples in the Pond AU contest. There’s an interesting discussion of AU vs. canon writers going on in zendom, which will eventually turn into an Easter Egg Vinegar column. Don’t touch that dial!
On the Buffy side (spoiler alert! run away! run away!), Dr. Deb and I were cheering Anyanka on yesterday as she tried to get her well-deserved revenge upon Xander, World’s Wussiest Wuss. The magic wasn’t going too well, so she ended up doing it the old-fashioned way. You go, demon girl!
On the Mac side, I installed fink today, so I could get some utilities I needed for work. (Fink is Mac is Unix on speed.) The instructions were a little terse, but once I slowed down and read the help screens, it was like magic. I’ve spent literally hours of my life trying to install XFree86 on Linux machines, and fink just did it by itself while I had my back turned. XDarwin is cool, very, very cool.
Let’s see, are there any categories I missed?
