Do you still remember Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?

Now there’s a new music video from The Guild, this time in Bollywood style:

But others have tasted blood as well and thus Michele Boyd, Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley, Rileah Vanderbilt, Seth Green & Katee Sackhoff present us with this epic piece of nerd culture:

Edit: If Youtube has blocked the video Geek and Gamer Girls it’s still available on break.com

Spring-Cleaning


After an earlier attempt wasn’t that successful I’ve tried again to upgrade Wordpress, this time from 2.3.3 to 2.9.2.

The catalyst for this was me wanting a new layout (one with a larger font) and these don’t really work with the old Wordpress versions anymore.

I just hope that the performance of the scripts is OK…

Few years ago I’ve written myself my own Amazon Price Observer. Today I translated the project to English.

The Guild


The Guild is a web series which claims to be “for gamers, about gamers, by gamers”. The main role is played by Felicia Day (Buffy, Dr. Horrible). It’s basically about the members of a MMORP game guild which meet for the first time in RL.

I found it by watching this music video by and with the main characters:

There’s already a second “season”, but here’s the first episode:

TV Tropes


While I have been reading the current c’t, they called my attention to this website: TV Tropes

Build in the form of a wiki, it outlines countless schemas that appear in literature/movies/comics and gives these “tropes” catchy names. Yesterday I’ve been reading this site for 7(!) hours straight and I barely scratched the surface. One jumps from trope to trope and one stumbles across new tropes that one recognizes and continues to read there.

The last tropes I read yesterday:

Genre Savvy – Television Tropes & Idioms
Took A Level In Badass – Television Tropes & Idioms
Our Vampires Are Different – Television Tropes & Idioms

You can get really lost in there. :)

Now, after I’ve finished Crew Edit 2 which rips the crew data from IMDb and makes them available to DVD Profiler, I’ve decided to combine it with the well established program Cast Edit 2.

And here it is: Cast/Crew Edit 2 and Cast/Crew Edit 2 For TV Shows.

Here’s version 0.3.1.0 of Crew Edit 2:

http://doena-soft.de/dvdprofiler/3.5.1/CrewEdit2.zip

It helps you to rip IMDb crew data and insert it into DVD Profiler.

What needs to be done now is to transform/map IMDb crew roles into the ones from DVD Profiler.

For example: Fanboys.

The credit there is “Writing credits” -> “screenplay” which has to be mapped to “Writing” -> “Screenwriter”

For this you use the “EditIMDbToDVDProfilerCrewRoleTransformation.exe”.

PS: And remember: IMDb data must not (!) be contributed to the Online Database.

PPS: Cast Edit 2 and other software can be found here: http://doena-journal.net/en/dvd-profiler-tools

At some point I got the glorious idea to update from Wordpress 2.3.2 to version 2.6.5. I was punished instantly because the WYSIWYG editor didn’t work anymore.

Luckily a few days later version 2.7 came out and I updated again. Looked nice but was terribly slow. And suddenly I got a mail from my provider that my scripts would drive the server insane and that I had to do something. So I checked all my projects and did some optimizations and whatnot because I thought the error would be somewhere in my “bricolage code” ;) .

But then he said: It’s your Wordpress. So I deacticated all my plugins but it didn’t help. So what did I do, I exported all my posts, killed Wordpress 2.7, did a clean install of 2.3.3 and here we are again.

And what have we learned again what we’ve never should have forgotten? Never change a running system!
