  The Smile That Launched A Thousand Ships

Most of them actually kind of creepy, when you stop to think about them.

Epsilon

I am referring to relationship pairing in the hip tvtropes wiki speak.

...

Also I am refering to Evangelion.

...

And Rei's smile in Evangelion.

...

And making a clever pun with a Helen of Tory reference.

A pun is a thing where you use a word that sounds like another word but means somethign else, a sort of wordplay.

Not so much a desired leave or anything... I'm just gonna be working like a dog or in spotty internet service until after (US) Thanksgiving. I'll get
online when I can, I just may be relatively absent is all.

  What New Features Would You Like To See?
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 11-16-2009, 08:28 PM - Forum: Website - Replies (4)

As part of my lon-term goal of making myself more employable, I am learning or refreshing myself on various languages and technologies, many of which are (not
coincidentally) employed for active (or at least flashy-looking) content on web pages. I always seem to learn better when I've got a cool idea or project
to work on, so I wanted to see if anyone had anything along those lines they'd like to see my website include.

Just so people know what's already in the pipeline, I'm recreating the Sidhaisin dictionary (taken down during the site revamp of August 2008) as a
MySQL app complete with querying and whatnot. And I've got an idea about taking the fanfic continuum map and turning it into a live graphic thingy where
each node links out to the fic in question and also has information to pop-up, and in which navigation is handled by clicking the link lines. Not sure how
I'm going to do it, but I know it's doable.

So... is there anything else out there, hopefully not too ambitious, that people think the site could use, and which I might be able to turn into a learning
experience?

Thanks!

  Giant Robots Attack... where?
Posted by: nemonowan - 11-15-2009, 11:33 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (8)

This is a short movie about giant robots destroying the city of Montevideo (in Uruguay... in South America):

Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!) 2009

Impressive, considering they did it on a U$S300 budget.

(Disclaimer: It may be more enjoyable for the locals like me who can recognize the landmarks)
