In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Jen: Well, a Happy New Year to all. Maybe 2007 will be the year of Deathly Hallows? I'm hoping for a summer release even though that may be unrealistic. Carolyn, any thoughts on the publishing industry and how likely that is? I hope it's not *next* summer, can't see JKR breaking her summer release pattern. Carolyn: Well, they could produce an ordinary book a week after they got the edited typescript if they wanted to - 24hr/48hr publishing turnaround is quite feasible even for print. If they wanted to they could put it up on the web and we could all download if they were able to hook together enough servers so as not to crash. Maybe the CIA or NASA could lend theirs for a week or two? It's a good cause, and much more useful than the stuff they usually use them for. But the real problem is printing enough stock and physically getting it shipped around to distribution depots for a book like this. I reckon that probably takes a minimum of 2-3 months. So, we could easily have a summer publication as usual, even if she hasn't quite finished it yet. As I recall, she was still typing HBP in early Jan wasn't she? Could hardly reach the keyboard because of sproglet three. Kelly: PhD, actully, and who knows? I've decided I'm a science mutt. Technically, I'm in the Geosciences department, but I work a lot with the Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences department and a little with Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Ocean, climate, effect on fish. :- ) Carolyn: Sounds useful; you can add your mite to the much-discussed fate of Atlantic cod, a subject close to every Brit's heart- do you have fish n'chips in the US? Fish deep fried in batter with potatoe fries, served with salt and malt vinegar? It's a classic end of night out takeaway, preferably served wrapped in newspaper. BTW, I think Kneasy was a marine biologist a very long time ago... Kelly/Jen: > Well, a Happy New Year to all. I'll echo that. Happy New Year! Carolyn: [guiltily] yes, Happy New Year... well, I'm back to work tomorrow after two weeks hol. Haven't done very much at all except sleep and eat and visit various friends and relatives. Oh, and did the annual down-to-the-charity shop ritual with books, clothes, weird stuff found in cupboards etc. We must definitely finish this daft catalogue by the time the 7th book is published. Still not sure how I can put time into it, but currently feeling relaxed enough to have a rummage in our files to see how far we have got. Any theories on the best way forward?

I actually got into the categorizing tool today! For months it has not let me in, but being busy with school, I haven't been complaining. I have another week before I go back, so if anyone can tell me where we are and what needs to be done, I'll put myself to it this weekend. Hope all of you had a nice Christmas, and a good New Year. I was at my parents' house, so we just watched the Red Wings, toasted the new year with fake sparkly juice at 10:00 and went to bed. Any day with both football (US) and hockey is automaticly a good day to me. Someone give me a clue. Better yet, a direct order, and I'll get to cataloguing.

Debbie: Erm, I guess I've been slacking off myself. ::makes new year's resolution to do more catalogue work:: I think the last thing we were up to before the catalogue went down last fall was the Snape review. The database shows some blocks not finished (four assigned to Ginger, one to me, and the rest unassigned). Perhaps we should pick up from there?

I did them and forgot to sign them off as done. I done did that now. I also signed up for the last 3 in the set, so after this weekend, it will all be done if Debbie finishes the one to which she is assigned. Moving forward: I think that we should review the lot of what is left in the Main Snape cat after Debbie and I are done. What is repetition to one person won't be repetition to another if they haven't seen the first person's posts. Sensing subtle movements towards the door, I hereby volunteer. So... Debbie, let me know when you finish yours, and I'll finish mine and then I'll do the main as a whole. I probably won't have to do a lot of cutting on the last run-through, so it should only take a few weeks, during which time others can start on other Snape sections. Questions? Comments? Criticisms? Octopi? (with or without chips?) Side question, showing my total lack of Britishness: Do they really use newspapers to wrap the fish and chips? Are they old ones that people have read? Doesn't the print get on the food? American minds want to know.

Love to hear the rumor that the Catalog may again have its gears grinding. I have used the Catalog, and all its worth a few times to a very productive conversation. I think it may be the very thing that can deter the lynch mob that is about to string up the author for things she most likely has not even thought of doing. If there is anything I can do to further this project along On to the more important conversation of fish and chips Did you ever hear of the movie The Night of the Living Dead? That was filmed in Pittsburgh and had a bit from the local establishment (fish that was three times bigger than the bun) represented. Alas, it wasn't too much longer that the establishment exhausted than the film that made them infamous. I miss the fish wrapped in paper Really Big Fish very little bun.

Carolyn: How many are left in the main Snape after all the axe-wielding that has gone on? I guess I should go in to the catalogue and look. A nice bit of labyrinthine HPfGU conspiracy theorising would probably be a good warm up to the performance reviews I have to conduct next week - my first with the team I took over last year. I could think myself into theory bay, and amuse myself shooting down the little dears' elaborate speculations about why they should be promoted and given a lot of money ... This time round, HR have automated the system, so after we have our difficult conversation, they then have to enter it all online, click the button, I add my comment, click the button, my manager adds her comment and it is all then filed in some awful Kafka-esque database for us to re-visit at particularly awkward moments. Gawd help us. Ginger: Side question, showing my total lack of Britishness: Do they really use newspapers to wrap the fish and chips? Are they old ones that people have read?

But they used to use newspaper, and probably still do some places the health & safety inspectors have missed! Hm, really fancy some just writing about it.

I am sure LOLLIPOPS is substantial. My evaluation and a few notes from my head: The main Snape cat will probably get a good paring down once it is reviewed by one person. As I said before, things which may have been repetition to me may not have been to someone else as they haven't read the same posts I did. The inverse also applies. I am guessing that it will be brought down substantially. I believe the above is also true for the sub-cats. I ran into many discussions of the "Hermy and the Teeth" incident (which I moved to Snape and Teaching), and I'm sure others did too. I am still not sure what a literary construct is. I have a fuzzy idea, but if anyone could solidify that for me, I'd be grateful. The same thing goes for character studies. Some of the things I left on the main cat probably could go there. Again, could someone define that precicely for me? I am not going to do any more tonight. For some odd reason, my Windows keeps shutting down after every other click to open a small window.

All Snape posts have been reviewed. I lopped an extra 55 posts from main Snape out of my last 100 (not up to my usual standards, though), most of which were pushed to the subcats. Ginger: > * Note= I didn't look in any of the acronyms. I am sure LOLLIPOPS is > substantial. Debbie: 102, to be exact. I haven't checked the other acronyms, though. :-) Ginger: > My evaluation and a few notes from my head: > > The main Snape cat will probably get a good paring down once it is > reviewed by one person.

I am guessing > that it will be brought down substantially. Debbie: I also suspect a lot more posts could be moved to the subcats. I think I was a lot more aggressive than everyone else in moving posts. That's not to say a good paring down of Greasy-Haired!Snape and PERSEUS EVANS posts isn't also required. Ginger: > I believe the above is also true for the sub-cats. I ran into many > discussions of the "Hermy and the Teeth" incident (which I moved to > Snape and Teaching), and I'm sure others did too.

Again, could someone define > that precicely for me? Debbie: I used literary constructs only for posts that addressed Snape in terms of his function in the book that did NOT look at him in terms of his own character. That doesn't make sense, but it's a bit like pornography: I know it when I see it. I put posts in character studies if they talked generally about Snape's character -- what makes him tick. Again, that's probably not very helpful. In my last 100 I left a couple alone that in retrospect I think should be moved. Perhaps I'll go back and do it. I'd like to take another crack at main Snape. Or perhaps I should review the ones I haven't seen, and others can look at my set of posts? Maybe simultaneously attack the subcats, starting with the acronyms (I don't think I moved a single post to an acronym; the coders were pretty good at picking up those posts)? BTW, I discovered an excellent prediction at #44793, from the venerable Pip, who asked: "Is Snape a half-blood? Not half-vampire, or half-dementor, or half any other 'interestin' creature' but plain old half-muggle." Give that girl a cigar.

This just got rid of short posts that were obvious "me,too" types and the shorter posts about why did/will ____ leave/join/not join/turn to/be tricked towards LV. These were, of course, ones that had nothing about LV in them except that he was the object of the sentance. I also got rid of posts which contained only a short question that was later repeted in the replies. I also deleted a few in which the poster wisely deduced that "we don't know that yet, but we may find out in the next book(s)". Yeah, what a waste of electrons. For the purposes of this quick run-through, I ignored all long posts unless they were interesting, and all threads with some form of LV in the subject line unless the posts were short. IOW, there's gonna be a lot more hackin' going' on 'round here. I will be going through more thoroughly soon, and I was wondering if the number situation (see my published works) would present a problem if I just went ahead and coded things to the subcats as they are right now.

Debbie who doesn't really know the answer to Ginger's numbers question but suspects it's fine to just bung posts into the existing, oddly numbered subcats From stevejjen at earthlink.net Tue Jan 23 16:45:01 2007 From: stevejjen at earthlink.net (Jen Reese) Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:45:01 -0000 Subject: glimmer on the LV scene In-Reply-To: Message-ID: > I will be going through more thoroughly soon, and I was wondering if > the number situation (see my published works) would present a problem > if I just went ahead and coded things to the subcats as they are > right now.

I can't do much, elfing has turned out to be *work* of all things, but there's definitely time to take batches of 100 here and there. As for the numbering, I vote to leave it as is and then we can change things at the end. Am I understanding your published works correctly? Jen, with no new pets, trips or anything that exciting to report.

Right now it's just a matter of going through what I've already done, for the most part. I pretty much know where I'm going to put things, it's just a matter of putting them there. It's the recoding to subcats that's time-consuming. Right now, I'm kind of hacking away at the whole. Kind of like when you clean house, and you throw in loads of laundry while you're doing other things rather than saying "now I'm going to do laundry" and sitting and watching the spin cycle as you worry about the state of the kitchen. I will be taking tomorrow off to visit my parents for the NHL All- Star game. I hope to have LV done before the Superbowl. and now, off to Anatomy and Physiology. Ginger, off to study blood, which would be oh, so much more interesting had JKR not debunked Vampire!Snape.

This must be that new-fangled house thing you guys live in (aghast looks around messiest caravan on the planet). I code/recode to plan: work out where they live, do a bunch, rinse repeat recycle. Currently I'm in masterly inaction mode due to jetlag and immediate departure for melbourne for australian day weekend shenanigans. I'm having too much fun again. > I will be taking tomorrow off to visit my parents for the NHL All- > Star game. I hope to have LV done before the Superbowl. and > now, off to Anatomy and Physiology. Sigh. Poor Saints, the Bears ran right over them. Yes, I watched it on Sunday. When it started snowing towards the end of the game I was boggled. Are. You. Guys. Insane. It's.
