I need some info!

1. Has that poll that asks who would like to come back always been there?

2. For every season?

3. How exactly did Wild Card work? I know Clay Aiken is the most famous example, but I'd like some particulars.

Don't worry, I'm not going too crazy and delusional. Just seeing the options ;)

ps. If you care about me at all you'll vote for Danny on the AI home page

:DDDD

So I'm trying to make some animated icons and there's a program that automatically makes screencaps from clips, but I can't remember what it is! I have one where you can forward/snap, forward/snap, but it's really tedious.


Any ideas?

PARTY IN NEW YORK AND DC FROM DEC 3rd - DEC 6th!!

Umm, to clarify, as a Christmas gift I am being flown to DC and then going to NY. I need to harass as many of you as humanly possible.

1. Where are you and where can we meet up?

2. How can I get to you?

3. The most efficient way to get from DC to NY specifically from DC to JFK? I want to take a train for convenience but whatever price is right.

More soon I promise, an actual update, but for now this!

AHHH!

Okay, so I don't know the kid, but here's why:



CNN

That boy? White. The boy I knew by that name: Black. Now here's where I need my internet stalker fiends to help me out. Originally there was an article that said police apprehended an African American suspect and there was even footage of them arresting a black man. I also received a ton of text messages saying thing to the effect of "this negro here!". Sooo.. Omaha media, WHUDAFUXUP?!


ps. Yes, I know that the fact of it being a) Nebraska, b) Bellevue, c) SKS, d) Westroads, and e) VONEFFINGMAUR all point to the kid being white, but still. The media says black in camo, you think, 'well maybe he's adopted?'.

Me: "Umm, how do I write a treatment? What's a treatment?"

Juanita Says: "A treatment is like an intro, basically giving a synopsis of what your program is about. Like a mini-stage play without the stage direction.

Also you can wikipedia it!"

That's why I loves my Nina! There are several other reasons, many of which will be divulged in the very near future, just think good thoughts for my professional growth, pray, light a candle, chant on some beads, sacrafice a goat, whatever it is that gets you through the day do it in my behalf!

Thanks!

I'm trying out posting via Semagic so I can do multiple posts, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to add additional accounts. Anyone know out there? Anyhoo, expect a crapload of updates about the chaotic hecticness of the last couple of weeks in the next few hours. Enjoy!

EDIT:
This might suck, because I have statcounter code I want to add to each post and there doesn't seem to be an efficient way to do this. sigh.

Well, at least it doesn't suck as much as this:



Yeah, Alanis called, she wants her shtick back. And I like Mandy Moore, I guess near the end it gets better. Kind of.

TODAY IS FULL OF SIGH!!!

The first outfit is a red flag T with faded red stripey pants. The second is the same pants with a cute boobies top, and the third is some white stripey pants with a white tank f. a gold dragon.

Poll #1036199 WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!?!?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

This?

QUICKLY! Vote for as many selections as you'd like, majority rules. Or you know, what I decide at the last minute, heh. One of the outfits I have to wear today so tell me!

I have recently become addicted (much to the chargrin of Monk Seal I presume since it will be a very long time until I shut up about it) to QI which is a fun show on BBC hosted by the new love of my life Stephen Fry (who I've always kind of loved, but not I'm head over heels crazy about him and am thinking about taking up reading again just so I can be the American Ambassador on his show).

The point? You ask? Well, I was watching the eps on YouTube and though I wholly applaud the efforts of those uploading, there are several missing. I found a torrent of the first four seasons paid cash money and licensing fees for copying and distribution rights but unfortunately I have no more space on my comp left for the 11GB of eps.

Now, I have a crap load of music which I can .rar and burn on a disk, but that's so cumbersome and annoying.

The other option is to send space all the music, but then I'll have to go through dl-ing it again which is a pain.

I could create torrents, but again with the pain in the arse. What I would like is some sort of ridiculously cheap storage solution. I'm really interested in online storage, and I've heard wonders about FTP stuff but I can't get a handle on if that's for storage or just for transfer.

I need info people! And you're the ones I come to because you are brilliant and pretty and funny and smart and tall (except for Christo who is short and proud and quite lovely about it).

I thank you in advance!

Greetings! So some of you may have noticed I've been a bit quiet lately and that's due in part to my work on The Shady Stix Sketch Show.



"The what, what, WHO show?!" you ask? Well let me tell you! The Shady Stix Sketch Show is my summer blogging project which will launch Monday, July 9th and run until September. It will feature three recurring sketches and mini sketches in between. This week is my set up week where I'll be taking suggestions, making little tweaks and squeaks, and pimping the crap out of the blog.

I have a blogger set up for content and a myspace dedicated to promotion and update notification so if you're on myspace friend ShadyStix to receive important bulletins about the show. You can also check out progress via your lj friend's list by subscribing to the_ssss, or subscribing to readers listed on the site.

I have a lot of things in store but until then I need your help!

We will feature a twice weekly advice column featuring experts in several fields. However what's advice without questions? Well, pretty much just a bunch of hot air so to combat this influx of pretention I need some questions from you, my hopeful viewing audience.

Questions can ran the gamut: relationship advice, health problems, money issues, friend drama. Don't expect the world, but do expect a well thought out response from our experts.

Comment here with your questions or email them to me at shadystix @ gmail.com. Anon comments are allowed so don't be afraid to really dig deep. The more the better and I'll be filtering them to the correct parties. There's a calendar on the site and you'll have a chance to see if your question has been chosen and when it will be answered.

If you leave a question be sure to let me know what you'd like your display name to be and where you would like it linked. For example,

Dear Expert,
I have been in a long term relationship with the love of my life for the past five years. Everything would be fine except this dream man of mine is also my identical twin. We have so much in common and we're in love, how do we tell the world to accept us and leave us alone?

In love with the only man as pretty as me,

Narcissysmo Jameson

I didn't just steal someone's question did I? Well, you get the gist.

If you have any additional questions (probably starting with What the Eff?) please feel free to comment or email me and I'll fill you in! If you'd like to contribute holla at me and we'll see where we can fit you in. The site is still very much in beta so check back during the week for more explanatory content (show descriptions, cast lists, polls, FAQ's, etc) and a bunch of fun!

I am trying to do a layout called Endless Summer that features the below pic. I like the pic and the summer vintage feel, but I don't want a bunch of white people running across the top of my page. Well, at least not just white people. I just want some diversity, and coloring their skin brown is NOT an option!

I'm going to make it myself, but I need pictures of black girls on the beach. Something fun and not too slutty preferrably. I know some of y'all on my flist got some pics you can share with me, or some good sites I can check out. I've ganked a few from the Sport's Illustrated swimsuit issue, but they are sparse on the diversity (I will NOT have six copies of Tyra!).

So help me out, comment with pics or links, the sooner the better, and thanks!

I'm applying for a job that requires extensive MS Excel knowledge. I lied and said I had some. Okay, not a total lie, but like... what's a macros? Yes I'm serious! See, you tell me you want a chart that totals something and then averages it and looks good I can do it. You tell me to run a circular loop differential and create macros I'm clueless. And those are the same thing people!

Anyhoodle, my lingo is out of date but I know if I can get the dummies guide I'll be fine. Reply with your favorite Excel tips and tricks (and learning how to spell it right is neither of those!).

I try you guys, I really do. I read lifehacker and have every gmail extension imaginable! I try all the latest things and love to hear about new technological products. Problem is.... I'm a fraud! Every piece of advice I give is usually something someone has given to me that I've modified to real people terms. Every hint, clue, link is ganked from something that I've known to work in the past. I KNOW ACTUAL NOTHING ABOUT THESE THINGS!

So I come to you, my humble flist, and ask for your assistance in a great matter.

For some reason, the videos on youtube will not play. They load and load and load and nothing. This just started recently and I have no idea what caused it. Also, when I try to load meebo, or my Vox it takes forever and I get just text with blue boxes all in a row.

I don't know what happened, or why this occurs and it's driving me crazy! Any help?

Let me know what you need from me and I will edit the post with any additional info. Thank you so much!

Do my Budget/Make shopping list

Actually work (Shyeah right!)

Don't worry, a real actual update of where I've been these last few days is coming. I miss y'all like crazy and will be catching up soon. In the meanwhile I have some questions for y'all.


Okay, I need to write some tv scripts and I need some help.

First of all, thank you to darktruth for giving me some great examples to use! They were really helpful and I'm looking forward to perusing Jane Esperson's blog by referral.

What else do you guys recc? I've been to a few sites, but I'm looking mainly for tips on form, timing, and how much staging needs to be involved. Anything you guys have will be helpful, thanks!

I'm looking at you iamsab. I'm especially interested in doing a Scrubs script and I want to know how you deal with the medical lingo. I've been reading some of your fics for guidance, but wondered if you had any specific reccs.

I'd like to add a favicon to my site, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so.

I have this code:

< link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico" />
< link rel="icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico" />

And I was told to put it (with the additional link changes that I also have) between the < head> tags in my code. I'm not sure where this is or if it is possible in eljay.

Anyone? Bueller! JMort, katiedid, afuna, kalbear! LEILA!

HELP!



Also, if I wanted to buy the name http://www.stickykeys633.com, how would I go about doing that? And when I did it how would I make it so it always directed here?

So how does this thing work as a networking tool exactly? I mean, what's the point? Digg is a little more interactive, but I'm kind of lost as to the whole delicious thing. I noticed that you can tag pages for other people and that's kind of cool.

Anyone, Bueller?

EDIT: Link updated HP PC DV610 5US

I just got a new laptop for Christmas! YAY!

Now I need to buy a wireless router? BOO!

WHAT DO I DO?!?

Brand spankin' new lappy y'all! (Her name is Sasha)

Tell me what I take off and what I should put on. I plan on upgrading to the beautiful Windows Vista. Then of course going mainly Firefox, but adding Flock, IE7 and all of that.

I also know to put AVG, AdAware, and Spybot on there, any other suggestions?

What good accessories should I get? Skins? I'm going to wireless keyboard/mouse route, and a TV tuner definitely. WHAT ELSE?!?

Thanks!

Wii!

HELP!

Give me your best iPod tips and tricks!

What are the pros and cons?

How can I pimp it out?

HOLLA!
