  Are there any monitors that can show two inputs at the same time?
Posted by: robkelk - 01-04-2017, 04:42 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

My father's looking for a new computer monitor, and one of the features he wants is dual input displayed at the same time - either picture-in-picture or split-screen. Does such a monitor exist in the home or small-office/home-office market?

  Yes we are still crying Wolf!

The GOP votes to remove it's independent oversight reverse course after public outcry
The only thing that stopped it from being voted on was Trump's criticism of it, though his adviser was defending it. And I wonder if Trump does not want the GOP members getting their hand on what the French used to call "little graft". That would be reserved for him and his cabinet.
So to the conservative members of the forum, still think crying wolf is a bad idea?
Edit: The link disappeared. My bad

  Ozzallos has resurfaced
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 01-03-2017, 06:35 PM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (1)

A bit more than a year after he last reappeared to post a new chapter of Hell Is A Martial Artist, Ozzallos has returned and posted the beginnings of two new fics over at ff.net:  Saotome Art Online, a Ranma-Sword Art Online crossover (obviously), and Puella Magi Saotome Magica, a crossover which should be just as obvious from its title.

Just thought some folks might like to know that Yagami's limited-time freebies for ChibiBel are available again for her 10th anniversary - including the Strike Witches set. There's no telling how long they'll be available... or, there wouldn't be if I hadn't made sure they're all saved in the Wayback Machine (which some weren't the first time they were up).

  All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VIII
Posted by: robkelk - 12-31-2016, 07:13 PM - Forum: All The Tropes Wiki Archive - Replies (300)

Thread 8, right on schedule...

Now that http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/rep ... ply-140219]Geth has perma-banned "Saline", I've been reviewing his changes and reverting some (but not all) of them. I'd like some advice on http://allthetropes.org/w/index.php?ti ... id=1187112]the changes to "So You Want To/Write a Cyber Punk Story".

Obviously, the typo fixes can stay in.

Obviously, the changes to standard headers (e.g. "Suggested Themes and Aesops" -> "Suggested questions, themes and Aesop-to-Aesop conflicts") get reverted.

Obviously, the Suggested Plots that he cut get put back.

Obviously, we should take the real-world organization names out of the changes.

By preference, the changes from Commonwealth English to US English get reverted - this isn't a US-specific genre, our policy is that they're both okay, and the Commonwealth spellings were there first.

Some of the others, though, I'm not sure about. Are all of those Suggested Themes and Aesops applicable to the genre? Should the motif be obscure? Does everything added to the Props section make sense in-genre? Do costumes need to look like modern-day outfits? Does the "Sound" section belong in the article at all?

  The Oxford Companion to Cheese
Posted by: robkelk - 12-30-2016, 04:04 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

According to http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/ox ... -1.3915679]this review, there is now an Oxford encyclopedia devoted entirely to cheese. Yes, it has an entry for the Cheese Shop sketch. Yes, it has an entry for cheese-related tattoos. Yes, it has an entry for reindeer's milk cheese. It's an Oxford encyclopedia, so it's encyclopedic turned Up To Eleven.

I think this one's going onto my godua-get-a-copy list.

After much nagging from other staff members on ATT, it's for the best I join this forum so I can engage in the threads relating to ATT and therefore be more productive in terms of contacting those who contribute to ATT.

I apologise if this means I am not that active on other parts of the forums.

I bid you all a warm welcome nonetheless!
