:confused:

Ahem. this thread.

A blessing on your head, av8rmike! Now do you think you could hyperlink each name to the exact post in the thread? :smiley:

:D&R:
No, really. An outstanding job, and a work of love. Or at least obsession.

OK, thanks.

Well, it’s Saturday night and everyone else seems to be engaged… so methinks I’ll just plop in this new Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert DVD and work on making a nice little html index of all these.

Let’s see how long this project lasts…

wait, better get permission first. :frowning:

whoop, just saw that you were working on just that, av8r. Good luck, if you need any help I’ll be happy to try and assist, ja.

Make it with a back-end.
I can help you out if you want to do it with php/mysql, that would let people sort them in any way they wanted and you could add / remove / edit them etc as you went along.

Drop a line here if you want a hand.

Good idea, Iteki… unfortunately I have neither the tools nor knowledge to implement that. So far, it’s taken hours just cutting & pasting everything and getting the formatting right, and I’ve only gotten 4 pages into the thread!

as_u_wish, who is Jane Awesome? Is that a pun on Jane Austen I’m not familiar with?
FriarTed, what is Dr. Jack Elrond’s Phonographic Journal?
(both on page 4)

av8rmike, thats what I am saying, I can make you tool that just asks you to paste the text, author, whatever into a form and then adds it automatically. I am sending you a mail :slight_smile:

I replied, and it came back to me:
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Sender not authorised for this system

:stuck_out_tongue:

meep, ok you mail me grins
I got the interface written already :stuck_out_tongue: all it needs is somone to cut and paste etc

I got up to about page 7 of the big thread.

My efforts here, open for criticism.

An entry in the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing:

Rings of Power
<magic, jewlery> Tools used by Sauron[/COLOR=blue] during the [COLOR=blue]Second and Third Ages in an attempt to gain ultimate power over Middle Earth.

Feck! Could someone fix that coding screw-up?

And it’s in the wrong thread no less! Argh!

av8rmike–thanks for doing this. Yes, my Jane Awesome post was intended to be Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. It’s pretty much a verbatim copy of the first page or so.

You forgot the Marx Brothers “A Night at the Opera” Junk. (I can say junk because I wrote it ) :o
Great Index!

No you didn’t! I did not see them under ‘TV shows’

major embarrassment :o

Hey … instead of setting up a separate website for it, why don’t we set up a new section of Teemings Extras?
