Where the next fiver block coming? - Not that I'm getting impatient, but.....

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on!

[color=#000000:post_uid0]In an unrelated note, I'm currently watching a film starring Keanu Reeves that doesn't suck.

Did I manage to fool anyone there? No? Didn't think so.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My guess is the obvious "soon". :eyeroll: :D :p ;)

Anywho -- I'm sure Zeke's busy with finals and such - it being that time of year and all, and, stuff.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Finals should be over by now. I've been done for a couple of weeks, and I know that UBC is done as well. I think most Canadian universities are finished.[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]if you'll excuse a newbie's naivete...

could someone please explain the fiver blocks thingey to me? My simple, simple mind cannot comprehend your brilliance without extensive illumination.[/color:post_uid0]

[Standback]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Over in the "Fivers by Committee" forum, the whole forum collaberates on a fiver... presently, Five Minute Matrix. To do so, the movie's divided into blocks, scenes, whatever. Zeke posts a block - we five it - we wait a while - Zeke posts another block.

This might be a really radical, ridiculous idea from another newbie, but... any particular reason Zeke needs to be the one to divide the blocks up? It seems we're just talking about "Let's do THIS much," a quick summary, and a link to the script... It sounds handleable.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Zeke is in charge of the blocks because he's Zeke and it's his site, his forums, and it was his idea. :D Also, he uses a specific site for the "blocks" that are already divided.

As for when the next block will be posted, it will be soon. (And this is [i:post_uid0]my[/i:post_uid0] soon, not the soon of some people who shall remain nameless.)[/color:post_uid0]

PS-If it makes u lot feel any better, I'd rather be doing exams. Computers which crash in every single way known to man in a very bad month (I hate May, rather not say why) is a lot less fun.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I love that blue screen of death! When my computer gets it, it will do me the pleasure of automaticly shutting itself down, and restarting, losing everything I was doing at the time. :) Aww.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0](I hate May, rather not say why)[/quote:post_uid0]

Not me! I love May... everything seems to go right for me in this month. :D Of course, I hate June, although I'd also rather not say why.

As for exams, I've lots of them coming up. It's what happens when you choose to do 4 A Levels... I know I'm crazy! Still, it'll be worth it when it allows me to go to uni in September and leave this godforsaken hometown behind (According to the local newspaper, one of the areas in this town is in the top 4% of the worst areas in the UK 8| - Not surprisingly I want to get away from that! )

As for the Blue Screen of Death, if you think it's bad, I can tell you it looks [b:post_uid0]really[/b:post_uid0] bad at 5.30 in the morning. Owwww! :dead:[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My Treacle Beast-class machine is called HellSPAWN.

The SPAWN is an acronym:

Stupid - because it does stupid things
Pansy-Arsed - because isn't machine enough to do much of anything (166 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, 1 gig main HD, 400 meg auxilliary HD, total storage 1.4ish gigs. Kill me now)
Wanker - I like to work in British slang wherever possible
Nerdbox - any machine coveted by nerds: computers, dvd players, etc

from hell. ;)

Plus, it allows me to yell, "I dub thee SPAWN!" and then I get a delicious Spawn/McFarlane reference. McFarlane is actually from near where I live.

Woo!

Two exclamation marks? You're skating on thin ice, lassie *g*

Technically, you should break a bottle of synthale over the case. The performance of your Enterprise computer depends on who you've got running around its innards keeping things running: a nine-fingered Scotsman, a blind guy with a hair band on his face or a Texan who can't drive.[/color:post_uid0]

It seems to sit there and do nothing, even when you want it to. Tends to be very sluggish. It starts working wonderfully when nobody else is around.

On another note, my debut fiver is almost done! Or should I say...it will be done "soon"?[/color:post_uid0]

Adding multiple exclaimation marks is a chronic disease of mine! Oh no! I'm doomed.

I'm sure I could find a medical condition to blame that on, like.... uhmm.... there was this syndrome which makes people suddenly compulsively yell out in public. can't remember name...

Oh yes, Tourette's Syndrome.

Yeah I have that and every now and then I get the compulsion to YELL REALLY LOUDLY!!

*does not dare put more than 2 exclaimation marks*

Let us not forget the Mallet of Fiving. Why's it called that? Because after an application of it, you're reduced ('accordionised' ) to one twelfth of your former height. On higher settings, you go from forumgoer to forumgore.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I would mention the Kipper of Thwapping, but it was starting to smell so I had to throw it away.

Ah well. Maybe someday I'll get a proper computer that doesn't slow to a crawl if I try to have more than two things open at once (it only has an Intel Celery processor - so called because it has exactly the same processing power as the vegtable of the same name).[/color:post_uid0]

I could guess, but no, I don't know off the top of my head.

:( That reminds me of the time Zuke showed up and became indignant over my referring to him as the eggplant that he is. I was going to do a take-off on whoever's reaction to Chakotay's cameo in the "Broken Bow" fiver, and I highly suspected that it was in the first Ent fiver, but somehow I managed to skim past it. I scanned through a handful of other episodes before I just gave up and *gasp* came up with something original.

By the way, I haven't been watching the episodes; could anyone tell me whether Archer decided to get the water polo net or whatever? :S Just curious.

*watches as innocent-bystanding newbies--and even a few old-timers--go into confusion-induced seizures :p* ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Incidently, what was supposed to be my new Kipper of Thwapping arrived in the post yesterday. I''m going to send it back though on account of it being not a Kipper of Thwapping at all, but a Haddock of Thwapping. I know it may not seem like much of a difference, but you just can't get a decent swing with a haddock like you can with a kipper.[/color:post_uid0]
