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]

Suh-weeeeet!

Whoo~
Promotions...are sorts
Congrats to the two of you.
And a future congrats to who ever picks up the 'slack'...I mean, photography mod
Report
"Of" sorts...not are sorts...
whats wrong with me, forgetting how to speek engleesh...
(and forgetting to double check for typos.)
Report
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.
Report
All the better to hear you with, my dear

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

Report
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.

"Oh Captain, my Captain..."

Congratulations again, valys!

A literary reference I don't recognise?

nonetheless, of course
Report
It's  poem by Walt Whitman.
[link]
Report
Thanks for the link, Epoch... I hadn't ever read that one in full. ( )
Report
Thank you
Report
(And for those who forget that it's a Walt Whitman piece - a good movie reference is 'Dead Poets' Society )
Report
...

(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*)
Report
He was pretty intense...and there are many obscure references.
Report
*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.

Report
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.

Yeah, he's *definitely* worth reading.
Report
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.
Report
Okie dokie...
Report


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. My own fault for being pretentious!

Report
Good work, love

*Whistles innocently*...

In theory, you have one less mod to boss around

Wait... wait... my Empire just shrank! HERESY I SAY! HERESY!

Now I can control you.

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

Report

Er... what did you just say?
Report
Hehe, hard to believe, eh?!
Report

Report
Shuffled!
