If you expecting to be drunk and sad then yes, that counts as plans. Have fun!

Anybody here going to Conneticon? I'm going to be working at the Legend of Neil booth and I'm wondering if any other NGers are going to be there.

I'm down for July 25. Where/What time?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Fuck Digg. Fuck Digg up it's stupid ass.

I was just kidding about those.

Fan'ed/Following/Friended. Damn social networks.

So, when are the Art/Writing portals happening?

I'm having trouble with the links on my site. Sometimes they'll add "?CAKEPHP=random characters" to the end of the URL. It doesn't affect the performance, but it looks kind of lame. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

That's kind of what I like about it. If I want to chat with someone I have Adium and Skype, but Twitter is great to just check in on someone with.

Probably because i have TOO MANY friends, the site overloads.

I have a Facebook and Myspace, but I hardly ever use them. I wouldn't consider Twitter much of a social network though.

i have found a love for digg.com though.

I find it useful for keeping track of what people I want to follow are up to without all the annoying nonsense that goes into most social networks and blogs.

I've gotten really sick of Digg. On every page there's always several "OMG TOP 20 OBAMA RULEZ LOLCATS LEGALIZE POT XKCD ETC" articles. And yet I still check it every day... :(

Is this another shitty myspace thing?

Twitter is a micro-blog, it's sort of like an entire site based around the "current status" on Facebook, except that it's much easier to check and update and doesn't come with the added burden of having to be on Facebook.

ya. guess what my username is? i use twitteriffic tho and find that twitter goes down every 10 minutes so i'm rarely on there.

Hah, the Fail Whale. I know Twitter has bad uptime but for it's never been an issue for me.

I signed up for a Twitter account a while ago because everyone at my company was getting into it. I was really surprised by how useful it is and how often I'm on it. Also, as a "Web 2.0" (ugh) application I give it bonus marks for not using rounded corners, diagonal lines, reflections or gradients in the site design.

I know myself and Wade have accounts. Does anybody else on NG use Twitter?

Happy redesign anniversary!

Is there any chance of you guys implementing an NG API?

I'm voting for shameless self promotion. Aside from that:
Mastermind
Burnt Face Man
Scrotum
Beebo

That's all I got for now. And for fucks sake people, don't vote for Solid Snake, he's not an original character.

We really do have GREAT ideas that we discuss throughout the year, but when the time comes, we never want to commit the time it would take to pull them off. I remember last year I was DETERMINED that "next year Castle Crashers will be done and I'll commit some real effort to a good prank!" Alas, a year later I'm still working on CC and April Fools' still sucked. Maybe next year, right?

I keep wanting to do something big for April Fools day too, but again we just threw something silly together the night before. At least now I know the joy of forcing my friend to do several takes of the line "I'm a poop!"

And thanks for the frontpage.

Wow, when did all these people start showing up? I need to check back more often.

Anyways, The Harts Valentine IV Trailer! No actual animation, but we'll be done soon.

No, but it's not too late for them to start.

The captured video is up now if anyone wants to see it.

Explain your project a little more, I'm interested about what it is/how they mark you.

I'm in a class called Network Based Multimedia, and it's basically about streaming video. The final involved setting up an event, getting a decent sized audience, and streaming the event to them. And I sort of fucked us over by advertising it on SA.

We got marked off for the delay and the crash, but got marked pretty good for the content, the audience and the fact that we pulled if off eventually. The rest of it is post-production etc. So at least we didn't get an F.

Alright, wow. I'm an idiot. I honestly didn't think that many people would be interested in this. We just needed enough to show that there was a dedicated audience.

We'll have a recording of it up soon. But it's basically all the same stuff as in the youtube video. Sorry if the stream sucked. If it did, you'll be glad to know we're probably going to get a C on this.

And if you can't/don't feel like watching, can you please, PLEASE leave it open in the background or something? The more people we can get connected to this the better.

We'll post a recording of it later. It's only going to last 10 minutes tops, and it's going to be the exact same material from the video I posted on YouTube.

7:00 Eastern. Specifically an hour from now.

Hey guys,

I'm doing a stand-up comedy set at 7:00 PM, tonight. This is a link for the stream. Please check it out and feel free to flame me.

I'm doing this for a final project if you're wondering why. If the laughter sounds weak, it's probably because there's only five people in the room. Even if you don't care, can you just leave the window open in the background?

Please?

Thanks,

Bascially everything has been leaked. If you want it. ;-)

But all you really need is Strictly Rude.

Harts Valentine IV comes out Valentines Day 2008. The music video collab I put together never really took off. I wanted to put out the video at the same time, since we didn't actually end up using any of Big Ds music on the soundtrack, but we don't really have the time to do one on our own.

They were singing along because the album got leaked. Want it?

No, I don't have a camera. My friend got a few shots, I'll try to get some from him. He also tried to record one of the songs, but it ended up being mostly him singing along.

And skanking is real simple. You just have to pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up.
