i am continuing to very much enjoy the pictures from the wiscon! and to miss the people from the wiscon! i am choosing to deal with this via the overuse of the the (the definite article, not the matt johnson).

( it's supposed to be solipsistic. that's like...a rule. or something. )

too much to say, but some of it:

- had fantastic costa rican lunch with gwynnega, huzzlewhat, and nwhepcat

- hatched ingenious party plan with cabell, just now in the hallway.

- was very sad at departure of futuransky for her flight home.

- hung out a bit but not enough with mystickeeper.

- still need to hug raanve, which means she better show up at the bar later.

- also hung out a bit but not enough with pennski and bookzombie, who are pretty much the nicest people ever.

- finally saw intelligentrix last night at the goh speeches! and then later, and the party. she was smoking hot on both occasions, i feel this needs to be stated. yow.

- had post-geekeoke pizza with maevele and coniraya the other night. :D

- went for coffee with were_duck and sasha_feather. recruited slightly for an ingenious plan totally unrelated to the one mentioned previously. talked a lot about how we should all just live together in a fangirl commune (and how that would be great until i people didn't shoulder their share of chores, and it would end in strife and anger. :/ thankfully, since we all already live on the internet, we all kind of have this. just not physically.

- hung out last night at the beer & marmalade party with lovelokest, which was fun. also talked a while about library philosophy and suchlike with someone that i'm not sure is on lj/dw? i find this inconvenient for documentation purposes. i seem to have left the party before the part where geoff ryman & were_duck did keg stands.

- have a crush on cofax7, and, as a result, did that weird thing where i get overemphatic and then run away to soak in my conversation-regret. (er, if i hung out with you and did not do that? it doesn't mean i don't have a crush on you. it just means i was drunk i felt that i had the time to make the case that i might be worth talking to without acting like a jerk. or, you know, i've met you before.)

- had an awesome but short conversation with jhkim, who is now waiting for the computer, so that's all for now.

eta to add much more namechecking. likely there will be more. erm, the bit where i'm more or less connected to raz0rgirl at the hip can be taken as read, right?

oh oh oh also: the paper really is very nearly ready, and i just think it's worth mentioning that even though it is completely, totally, and entirely all about john sheppard, so far no draft has mentioned him even once. :D

yes, i should really be asleep. no, my paper isn't ready to present yet.

i was on two panels today, both were sort of iffy, for slightly different reasons. (totally opposite) mod-related reasons, which have me a little concerned about the panel i am modding tomorrow. at least i have seen examples of how it can all go wrong?

that said, futuransky and i should hold a robot apocalypse panel on a monthly basis, at least. we'll just drag chairs out onto the sidewalk and accost passersby with theories on gender and anxiety and labor displacement. it'll be awesome, i have more than enough things to say about movie sexbots to make it sustainable.

had a lovely breakfast today with nwhepcat and gwynnega. had dinner with a whole passel of people - more than i can talk about right now, due to the need for sleep, but: later.

anyway, my point! or purpose! or whatever.

cabell posted her photos from geekeoke. :D

( my karaokework is dancing. and making funny faces. and sake bombs, apparently. )

had an interesting conversation with cabell last night about fanmixes and the way that they are sometimes a forgotten fanwork, or not really counted as a fanwork all of the time, or by everyone. it probably surprises no one that i do, in fact, think they are transformative and are an interesting form fannishly - but i also think that they may be one of the least transparent or accessible fanworks, in a way. i mean, they work as mixtapes no matter what - but, just like mixtapes that are made for a particular recipient, who will get more meaning out of it specifically because she can interpret the message (about the mixmaker, about the mix-recipient, about their relationship, or about common experiences), fanmixes carry meaning about the source material, about the fannish culture attached to the source material, and about shared fannish opinions/fanon - none of which is information that is available to someone who doesn't know the source well, or isn't in the fandom, or both.

i have a lot of fanmixes that i listen to as mixes rather than as individual songs because they work well for me that way. and i suspect they would work well even if i didn't know the story the fanmixer was aiming to tell, but. hmmm. i'm not sure i would listen to them quite as often?

and then there's the secondary fanworks analog* to the fanmix - the fic soundtrack. soundtracks explicitly tell a specific story, rather than painting a picture of a character, character relationships, or series arcs. but it gets more complicated than that, because some fic soundtracks are actually initially created as an aid to writing a story, and are only cleaned up or filled out later to shape into a mix. so the fic is the child of the original tracklist, in a way, and a parent of the completed soundtrack.

hmmm. sort of. yeah, this isn't very coherent. i am going to blame that on my hangover, rather than my general thinking process.

also, this was supposed to be my post about vids. whoops.



*wow. i really am not liking the 'secondary fanworks' term anymore. i think i might have been the person who coined it a couple of years ago? but my political view has shifted a bit. secondary sounds less valuable, while really what i mean to convey is that i'm talking about fanworks about fanworks (which should be called metafanworks! but meta is taken already, damn it.) i could swear i actually thought this through and came up with a better term about a month ago, but i can't find it in my drafts right now, so.

i have dreamwidth invites, but i think everyone on my wants-an-invite list may be covered already? anyone need one? shiny code, more intuitive interface, better accessibility, no ads for anyone, completely painless crossposting, ever-increasing interoperability. anyway. holler of you still need one.

the farther i get, time-wise, from sailor's delight, the stronger my suspicion is that i only had one good story in me.

this thought brought to you by the letter tired, the number overcommitted, and the truly lovely feedback email i got yesterday.

of late:

- otw work: new project, so growing. but manageable, i'm pretty sure.
- work work: worst part of the year is nearly done. nearly.
- lawn: i mowed it yesterday. most of the violets survived, and i get to feel accomplished, so: win.
- archive: yeah, am a total slacker. but spanish-language podfics are a go, and german-language is on the horizon.
- magical number: oh j sheppard. i think of you often! soon i will get you out of your fix.
- wiscon paper: i don't have an outline, but i have a text file that i saved to the desktop with 'outline' in the file name. that's progress, yes?
- wiscon panels: need to think more about robots, and also to send out my mod email.
- giant podfic for charity queue: making progress. slow progress, but still. i blame the barking dogs next door.
- giant collaborative podfic queue: three of five projects recorded, edited, and awaiting partner contributions. two projects still in need of text sorting and negotiation.
- other podfic queue: only one is short enough to do as a warmup or break from an epic, so little progress here.
- freelance website theme and seo project: nearly done staging, just need to spend an afternoon, i think. very very very overdue.
- posts in which i am thinky: wow, so many incomplete drafts.
- commentversations: complete failure to continue exchanges beyond the initial comment. not good.
- amplificathon: this car is driving itself. which is great, but...
- in_a_name: yeah, i still haven't completed/posted my fic. my mod work was all in the prep, and a bit lacking in the cheerleading aspect. but apparently there's still time! <3 raz0rgirl.
- secret longterm project: actually totally on track. and awesome.
- stupid body: why do i have to have one? currently more defective than usual: right knee, eyeballs, allergies, stupid disgusting nightsweat crap.
- social life: no more fail than usual. \o/
- share project: wow, total follow-through fail. still salvagable, maybe.
- dreamwidth settling-in-ness: need to add accessibility info to icons. also, who still needs invites?
- whininess: SUCCESS!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

happy things today:

- milestone cask porter. oh man, seriously. except it should come in halves only rather than full pints, because half-way through, i've stopped registering most of the deliciousness. not that what's left isn't fantastic, just that if i had to stop to order another, maybe the break would be helpful.

- a spanish-language podfic community!!! i am over the moon. with any luck, this means the archive will manage to have offerings in three languages! (though this does remind me about my sadly spotty success archiving the cache of finnish podfics. it may be time to try again.)

- one of my staff members got a promotion! i am so proud i could bust, honestly.

- i'm starting to actually make progress on my massive podfic-editing backlog. slowly but surely.

- crossposting is a go, i hear. this would be a test post.

- success! testing an edit, and an icon change.

forward-looking:

i got my wiscon schedule.

Gadgets: Then, Now and When - Cyberpunk and steampunk are alluring gadget-heavy genres: what roles do gadgets and their inventors play in characterization and world-building? What gadgets exist that we never dreamt we'd see, and which do we think we may see within our lifetimes? What are the fictional gadgets we wish really existed? Which real gadgets can't we live without, and which do we take for granted? (raz0rgirl proposed this one.

Robots from the future (and the past) - Man-made beings have been a favorite science fiction theme since Frankenstein. In the reimagined Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, earlier representations of robots and cyborgs are updated for the twenty-first century, and they frequently appear as female figures. As robot apocalypse narratives shift focus from oversized metal horrors to sympathetic and/or devious human simulacra linked by wireless networks, what anxieties about the way we understand the human are being worked through in these shows and other cyborg-centric futures? What histories and (science) fictions do they invoke? And what do these narratives signify when it comes to gender, race, and class? (i believe this was ms futuransky's proposal)

Adapt, Revise, Revisit: When is a Copy Not the Source? - What constitutes an adaptation, and how is that different from a remake? At what point is something new created? Where within the tradition of reinterpretation do new visionings break away from their predecessors as independent works? What role does viewer or reader expectation play? Why does a new work keep the same name as the previous iteration if they are otherwise very different? How much does capitalism play a role when a "property" is owned by a corporation? We'll look at recent film and television remakes, as well as plays, novels, short stories, comics, and other works that have been adapted into new formats, to consider these questions. (raz0rgirl and i co-wrote this one, and i'm moderating.)

and my paper! appears to be part of a presentation called Technological and Supernatural Identity Construction. possibly. i mean, i can't really read that part, but maybe. my abstract:

Reflected Self, Refracted Identities: The Meanings Of Multiplicity - Speculative fiction allows for duplication of the self by faithfully copying the body, allowing multiple iterations of a character to interact and potentially enter into competition with each other. The duplication trope reflects enduring interest in issues of identity, validity of experience, and what it means to be unique. Is a duplicate an inherent threat to the original? How long does a perfect copy remain identical as experiences diverge? Can copies be allowed an identity beyond that of the original, and can they coexist? This paper will examine contemporary television, focusing on Battlestar Galactica (2003), Stargate: Atlantis, and Farscape.

so. there's that.

looking back:

so. pca/aca. jam-packed, that was. i mean, i hate to be a grind and all, but i never get to go to actual *productive*, thinky conferences - not that (public) library conferences don't have the occasional really good session, and i will happily admit that i get a lot out of even the poor sessions, but they aren't as great with the thinkyness. i mean, they're more top-down: here's what our library did - the end. take the tools you can and apply them as you may. like i said, maybe it's because i don't have anything at stake in an academic conference - i am not going to have to come home and quantify what i got out of it or risk losing the ability to network. anyway. my point is, i begrudged every hour i spent not in a session, when a session was going on. (though every session i missed was due to my own hangover decision, and i made a conscious choice every time.)

( what i attended, and other details of the trip )

see, this is why posting is hard. i save up too much and have to type for sixteen damn hours. and the result is not exactly riveting. but at least if i get amnesia, now i'll know what i did last wednesday and thursday.

(manually xposted from dreamwidth. i will be very pleased when i can do this with a tickybox.)

okay, today is crazy enough that i'm making a blanket info post: anyone who says they want a dreamwidth invite, i'll keep a list. in the meantime - i strongly suggest you head over there, log in with your openid, and validate the email address attached to it - that will enter you in a lottery for an invite. it also means that if you have not acquired an invite when open beta hits (april 30), you will get an invite then.

and another piece of advice, since i managed to figure this out, but i pieced it together from a number of sources - if you get in during closed beta, and want to import your lj:

- go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/misc/beta.bml and upgrade your account to premium paid or seed. this will open icon spaces. it will revert to basic when open beta hits, but that doesn't matter right now.

- then go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/misc/import.bml to import. the icons and tags will import fast; entries may churn along for a little while; comments took hours. but it worked really well for me.

- your best bet is to *not* upload icons before you import. import your lj icons, then add more. it seems like it might cause odd behavior.

- themes: there are only two right now, as the system isn't finished. you *can* import an lj style (legitimately if it's open source - the lj style i use is proprietary) if you like. there's a whole fidgety process. i decided it wasn't worth importing one and messing with it, and am going to wait for the new system to roll out. but i *did* modify the colors of the default theme, which was easy - instructions are here.

( list of people i will give codes to, when/if i get them )

so i haven't actually made my "explaining dreamwidth" post yet. i guess this is it: it's a code fork of lj, lots of things are fixed/improved, it's a way to have something better without *leaving* lj because there will be integrated crossposting/crossreading, there are no ads for anyone *and* an actual business plan, blah de blah.

but i'm doing so now as it seems i have an invite to give away. it's in closed beta and not quite complete (which is why i am not yet crossposting). anyone want an invite? (i only have one today, but will have more soon - open beta starts april 30.)

so i feel a bit like i'm failing at ada lovelace day. i want to talk about my life, and the women who i knew when i was growing up, in high school, in college, who were in technical fields.

but until 5 years ago or so, i can't name a single one. though i did think for a while about whether i can name girls i knew in high school who are now in computer-related fields, but you know: linear time disallows that. sadly.

i know that my parents pointed out women in scientific fields as proof that i could be anything, do anything - but a couple of historical biographies don't really cut it. the stories are interesting, sure - but they stay that: stories. there was never any attachment to my life. no female science or engineering teachers to draw my eye to the possibility. honestly, i have no idea, looking back, if my high school even had a computer lab (i graduated in 1988 - seems like it must have?) - i certainly had no idea how to access it or learn the tools there.

i sent my first email in 1996. i got my own first computer, a hand-me-down, frankensteined thing meant for writing papers and accessing the internet, in 1997. i first lurked on usenet in 1998. i do not have tech cred, is my point. i am new to this, particularly relative to my years.

i'm not sure if things would have been different for me, but i wish there had been someone i could have looked to, who would have bridged the gap for me between those dry curiosities of history and my own hopes and interests and life. and i think that's why this is important - talking about women in technology, being women in technology. growing our numbers. i want to be able to see us, and i want to be seen.

today i have been thinking about historical women in technology (i love particularly to think about the women who programmed ENIAC, though i actually know very little about them - but they ping my team-love), and reading the posts that have been popping up all over my flist, about famous women and not-so-famous women who made a difference, sometimes just by existing in their fields and doing their jobs, to the people posting. and that's what this is all about, so maybe i'm not failing after all. i'm learning, and if that isn't exactly the opposite of failure, it's definitely off at an angle.

so. now i am going to crib from my current technology mentors - the otw webmasters team. last night we bounced ideas back and forth, trying to figure out what we were proudest of in our technical accomplishments, and what points wanted to give the organization to spotlight about our team today. we got a little enthusiastic, and pretty much wound up with an essay of our own that made us all happy but doesn't really have a home. so here it is:

Since the OTW Webmasters (our friends call us Charlottes) were established as a committee, we have had seven members and all have been women. When we started, we had no experience with Drupal, the open-source content management system we use for the main OTW website, or with PHP, the primary scripting language used to create dynamic web pages. In fact, our experience when we first formed wasn't much more advanced than the basics of XHTML and CSS, which are the static parts of websites. What a challenge!

So we learned collaboratively, on the job, supporting and teaching each other as we went along. We picked up a number of new skills, including how to work with an open source community, how to find and interpret available documentation to make informed decisions, and how to contribute back to that community with proper bug reports and bug fixes. We even found, to our surprise, that we were attempting things with both internationalization (content translation) and localization (interface translation) that appear to be unique in both the scope of languages we have implemented and the complexity of the website to which it has been applied.

We continue to develop, just as our website does. We value broadly defined accessibility. Towards that end, we continue to work to make transformativeworks.org truly multilingual and international, pushing our boundaries as well as that of the software. We're proud of our accomplishments, and we admire ourselves, each other, and the OTW for valuing the technological work of women.

this is not my eloquent post about the otw, and why it's important, and why you should donate.


this is my bribery post.


i will record^[1] podfic of any^[2] story^[3] of the requester's choice for the first ten people^[4] who comment here and then make a donation^[5] to support the otw.

feel free to point people at this post until spots are full.




get your own otw-supporting lolcats and lolbirds and lolwoodchucks here




^[1] i can make no guarantees on turnaround time. but you won't have to wait *too* long.

^[2] length no object (probably! i will do epics)(short things are cool, too)! (but see item 1) all fandoms okay! there may be negotiation on content (since there are actually a couple of stories out there that would be dealbreakers, content-wise), but i will try to find compromise if that happens.

^[3] get author permission first though, yes? so i don't have to?

^[4] if only nine people comment, then #10 is dodificus. if ten comment, then dodificus gets a spot anyway.

^[5] size of donation is totally up to you.

ahem.

item one: vexing.

so the new inescapable lj feature where all of your comments go into the lj inbox? has effectively broken the inbox for me, since i use it to manage podfic submissions for the archive (via tracker notifications), and now those submissions may as well go to my email inbox instead. they'd be easier to find and sort. i had a workflow! it was working nicely! damn. (i see how making comments dupe into the inbox is good, yes. i just would like a way to turn it off, but preserve emailing them.)(my solution is to move all my podfic tracking to a dummy account, so no comments will come in, and then i will just quit using the lj inbox attached to this account. but still. grrr.)


item two: ingratitude.

aphelant made a beautiful recording of my btvs/sga crossover, sailor's delight. it's so good. it made me cry! i mean, i seem to tear up at the drop of a hat lately, so i'm guessing ymmv. but still. she posted it during 14valentines, and i totally spaced on the idea that she was doing it, then was out of the country, and totally forgot to mention to her that i was afk, and i am more than a little concerned that means she had a little voice in her head for a couple of days, saying, "that jinjur. what a dick!" but i actually got feedback on the story that referenced her post, and that clued me in. phew. also, that means i got to listen to it. her recording is lovely and clear and sad, i really can't say enough about it. also, she made me a cover! :DDDD and cybel made it into a podbook! i am drowning in riches! everyone in the whole world (who listens to podfic) should go download it (links are in her post) and listen. everyone in the whole world who doesn't listen to podfic should start, jeez.


item three: productivity.

i forgot to mention about how i also managed (already!) to do some stuff this year!

- my writing has already topped last year in quality (and i suspect overall wordcount, which is pretty sad, but i am not counting the j sheppard story that i am creeping along on, since i only managed to write about half of it last year. it will be finished this year, i swear. grrr j sheppard you weirdo pls behave.) i wrote my very first comment fic! and also my very first interspecies het love triangle fic! it doesn't have a title yet, and i haven't worked through the beta that ms phela has been kind enough to do on it yet, but those will come. it's here: untitled sga sam/sam kissing fic.

- podficcery.
for 14valentines, i posted:

• annakovsky's a critique of pure reason (btvs/lotrps/meta crossover epic with a choice of three endings - crazily fun to read) here
  
• resonant8's teeth of the hydra (due south fraser/kowalski, with bonus deleted scene and sequel) here
  
• astolat's the dark side (sga mckay/sheppard (star wars au)) here
  
• trinityofone's as well as valor (sga mckay/omc, mckay/sheppard) here
  
• annakovsky's i am a stranger here, i am not permanent (harry potter/lotrps ron/dom crossover) here
  
• covers for a critique... and teeth... (ver 1, ver 2).
  

- appellathon! raz0rgirl and i are running the in_a_name multifandom thingathon. we got like seven billion awesome prompts (though we are prompts-optional! we just think prompts are fun.), and have an active resource wiki for participants, and now i am having thinky thoughts about prompts as a type of stand-alone fanwork. instead of writing my fic for the fest. sigh.

- amplificathon! raz0rgirl and i are also gearing up to run the second year of the amplificathon multifandom points-based podfic creation festival! (note: i will either figure out a way to allow volunteers to do uploads to the archive before the posting period, or i will be having a nervous breakdown sometime in late april. fair warning.)

- otw stuff. i have been doing some. :D details later.

the first of (at least) two posts in which i repeat stuff that a whole bunch of people on my flist are already aware of, so i feel dumb reposting, but i've been thinking a bit about how fandom forums can be, to steal a phrase i saw used in this context someplace in the past couple of weeks, a bit of an echo chamber. i mean, when you have a huge crowd in a big room all talking about the same things, and the crowd is too dense to see where the walls are, it's easy to think there aren't any walls at all - the whole world/the whole internet/the whole of livejournal/the whole subset of people you know is hearing the conversation. but wow, so not true.


the otw is looking for translators.

what the hell does that mean?

it means that we are trying to build an organization (a fannish organization, yes - but if that's putting you off, please consider that it is an organization with a mission that has broader application: the right to transform. the right to be a active participant in culture, rather than a passive consumer. the right to question, publicly, the reflections of ourselves in the media, in literature, in advertising. the right to think and discuss and build ideas) that serves a multilingual, multinational community. the otw is a really cool project, and i'm excited to be a part of it, because intellectual rights, the right to think and to reflect and to build ideas, are important to me.

okay. i'm in fandom, but what's in this translating gig for me?

you get a beta account at the archive of our own project (since the archive site is one of the things in need of translation). you get to work with some very cool people (including me (har de har), since i'm on the webmasters committee, and the website takes a lot of translating. but also lian_li, who it is my privilege to work with closely. honestly, she is superawesome and that should be attraction enough.) you also get the benefits that a non-fan would get, so keep reading.

yeah yeah, i'm not in fandom. there's nothing in this for me, right?

okay, that's where you might be wrong. (also, yeah, you may not be in fandom, but i'd be surprised if you are not a fan. of something. and that you don't talk about it/think about it/somehow transform that thing, even if only in your head.) here's what you get: a way to develop and improve your translation skills. a chance to see how a community can, together, decide to do something, then build the skills and tools they need for that task from the ground up. volunteer work you can list on a resume. experience with a variety of tools that you can spin into a million job-interview anecdotes. a new perspective on fair use, the open source movement, and web 2.0 cultures and technologies (okay, i admit i died a little inside when i typed that last bit. but that's the resume phrasing, right there.) it's interesting, and you can put in a little to get out a lot.

but...i am not a translator. i mean, that's a profession, and you need to study linguistics or something, right?

our translators work in teams. that means that there is room for people at all sorts of skill levels - it also means that you're never out on a limb with your translation - you never work alone because that would mean no one to read things over and agree that the new version means the same thing as the original. the beta-reader is just as vital as the person writing the new version - without both (preferably a couple of both), we can't offer a language at all. to quote lian: "we do have volunteers who are inactive because there is no beta or 2nd translator" - and your participation could be the thing to change that.

i know that i know a lot of people who have writing fluency in more than one language. think about it. if you do scanlations, or browse russian lj communities, or whatever, well: you might enjoy throwing in a couple of hours a week on this. seriously! we have fun.

(job is open through march 11. yes, i know, i suck. lian_li is willing to answer questions here.)

in the interest of not just being a big whiner, it's time for outdated stuff i meant to post a long time ago but didn't and now it's outdated and i no longer really have anything to say but well, fuck it.


- chr0me_kitten and i went to confusion. the high point was a sifl & olly party. i had never seen sifl & olly before. also, i used a glue gun for the first time. making a sock puppet (which survived around 20 minutes after i got home - chester found and thoroughly disassembled it).

( mine is the one that looks like me. apple, tree, no lie. chr0me's is the one that doesn't look like me. )

- chr0me_kitten and mattcallow and i went to see coraline. which we enjoyed. but what did we enjoy even more? the 3d glasses. and what did we enjoy even more than the 3d glasses? the near-impossible task of taking self-portraits with a cameraphone in a dark theatre while wearing those glasses during the previews.

( they hurt my ears a little. but i am still tempted to wear them all the time. )

all photos by chr0me_kitten, because she's awesome like that. oh! but i did finally find the cord for my camera, so i can take pictures with something other than my macbook again. i mean, if i can find the battery charger.



in other news, my hairdye seems scarce. i am worried it has been discontinued. oh! and i got a haircut, which i was dissatisfied with, in a vague way, but i didn't post about it, breaking my streak of posting about haircuts. that was a couple of days before we went to england for a week. which i also seem to have failed to post about. so there you go.

the archive is getting commentspam bombed. akismet is catching it all, sure - but in case anyone was on tenterhooks over what exactly would push me over the edge this week?

well. we have a winner.

exciting how trivial it is, and how much it's making me completely fucking insane right now, as a new one pops up in my inbox, every thirty seconds. and i flinch, every thirty seconds.

huge, sprawling, densely plotted patd-centric bandom dream (with summertea, skoosiepants, and twincy in it, as well as far more brendon urie presence than i ever thought was actually in my subconscious).


i do. not. understand. still no sga dream.



also, considering that i spent last night watching bsg and working on a due south related project: why bandom? seriously.
