Doing the admin shuffle - lit folks, valys is now officially looking after you

Mar 25, 2008, 03:32:38

[valys] is the new literature gallery moderator, replacing [epochwolf] (who is now officially a coder)

We haven't hired or fired any admins, but we've reshuffled a few posts. [epochwolf] has officially moved from lit mod to codemonkey (since that's what he was really doing anyway), and [valys] has moved from photography mod to lit mod (since there was an opening and it's where she belongs). This does leave the post of photography gallery moderator open, but for now the rest of us can pick up the slack there (there really isn't much slack to pick up anyway). Feel free to PM me if you know of a good candidate for the post, but don't be upset if we don't hire your candidate.

I was going to post a long gushing essay about community and such, but I figure you guys already know about that. All I'll say for now is that we really are listening - just ask [tenebrae] or [silvolf] :wink:

:wink:

Congrats to the two of you.

"Of" sorts...not are sorts...
whats wrong with me, forgetting how to speek engleesh... :XP:

:XP:

(and forgetting to double check for typos.)

Just as well you all have such enormous ears, isn't it? =P

YAY VALYS! I shall miss Epochwolf though, but I hope he enjoys the monkeying.

Still, we're in very good company. :snuggle:

:snuggle:

Posted by patty at Mar 25, 2008, 11:21:44 AM [Parent]

All the better to hear you with, my dear :nod:

:nod:

Epoch's been doing the codemonkeying all along anyway, really - we're just making it official :wink:

:wink:

:snuggle:

Posted by epochwolf at Mar 25, 2008, 12:25:59 PM [Parent]

I'm still going to be around. I've been maintaining code related stuff since I joined and I never really stopped doing that. I've kinda shuffled around until I fit in. :grin:

:grin:

"Oh Captain, my Captain..." :salute:

:salute:

Congratulations again, valys!

Posted by patty at Mar 25, 2008, 11:22:26 AM [Parent]

A literary reference I don't recognise? :nuu:

:nuu:

:snuggle:

nonetheless, of course

Posted by epochwolf at Mar 25, 2008, 12:27:49 PM [Parent]

It's poem by Walt Whitman.

Thanks for the link, Epoch... I hadn't ever read that one in full. ( :paranoid:

:paranoid:

Posted by patty at Mar 27, 2008, 2:14:57 AM [Parent]

Thank you

:smile:

Posted by prosepetals at Mar 26, 2008, 12:25:21 PM [Parent]

(And for those who forget that it's a Walt Whitman piece - a good movie reference is 'Dead Poets' Society :wink:

:wink:

)

Posted by beruthiel at Mar 26, 2008, 8:11:36 PM [Parent]

...

:innocent:

(Walt Whitman is one of those poets I find *really* difficult to understand. I keep coming back to his work, because it feels like there's something amazing underneath the surface... but I haven't "cracked" it yet. *Strikes a determined pose*)

Posted by prosepetals at Mar 26, 2008, 9:00:00 PM [Parent]

He was pretty intense...and there are many obscure references. :nod:

:nod:

Posted by beruthiel at Mar 27, 2008, 8:03:24 AM [Parent]

*Nods*
"Intense" is certainly the right word...

"I seize the descending man and raise him with resistless will,
O despairer, here is my neck,
By God, you shall not go down! hang your whole weight upon me.

I dilate you with tremendous breath, I buoy you up,
Every room of the house do I fill with an arm'd force,
Lovers of me, bafflers of graves."

...I don't understand a bar of what it's about, but by god is it impressive. :smile:

:smile:

Posted by prosepetals at Mar 27, 2008, 11:11:10 AM [Parent]

Just reading that...though I'm not familiar with the verse...sounds like a wartime reaction. Sounds like he's fighting for another's life, and writing about the emotion of doing so. Then again, I could be completely off-base - wouldn't be the first time. :giggle:

:giggle:

Yeah, he's *definitely* worth reading. :smile:

:smile:

Posted by beruthiel at Mar 27, 2008, 10:32:23 PM [Parent]

Mmm... I took these lines out of context for you here (bad, Ele, bad Ele!!) but you could be right. I'll go back to the original and see if it fits. :smile:

:smile:

:grin:

Okie dokie...

Posted by beruthiel at Mar 26, 2008, 8:15:45 PM [Parent]

:giggle:

Gotcha! To be very honest, I hadn't ever read that poem in full... and now I have, it's not an analogy I'd want to be drawing, here. :confused:

:confused:

My own fault for being pretentious!

:snuggle:

:snuggle:

Posted by patty at Mar 27, 2008, 2:15:21 AM [Parent]

Good work, love :razz:

Somehow, I don't think that the powers that be would be very amused. :grin:
