Welcome
Welcome to the wiki! Thanks for the help on the Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts! That's an area we are falling behind on (because they just keep making more of them). I'll get on verifying it ASAP. Oh. And this wouldn't be an official greeting without the obligatory Standards and Conventions link. It appears that you already know how to datestamp(~~~~), and you are welcome to edit your user page to tell us more about you.--Steelviper 15:12, 14 February 2006 (EST)
Transcription Technique
Are you actually able to transcribe real-time? (That is to say, type it out as fast as the audio goes.) The few errors I catch are because I have to listen to each section two or three times, so I get the nitpicky stuff that I would have missed if I could keep up with the audio. Either way, it's amazing work. (And it appears to have inspired others to pitch in again, as well.) --Steelviper 23:45, 14 February 2006 (EST)
- Haha, I wish... I never even learned to type 'properly'! I'm sure there are more than a few errors, every now and then I come across a word or a phrase that I can't quite make out so I just take my best guess. Thanks for the compliment anyway, although I'm sure you're just being nice. Also it's always nice to be an inspiration! --Misco 00:53, 15 February 2006 (EST)
- Well, diffs don't lie. That's some pretty minor stuff. As for "proper" typing... I think it's over-rated anyway. I'm definitely an "ends justify the means" guy when it comes to typing, but that may be due to a lack of formal training myself. I'd actually love to learn to use a Dvorak or some other "optimized" keyboard layout, but I fear I would be lost if I sat down at any other keyboard after that. Well... back to work. --Steelviper 08:56, 15 February 2006 (EST)
Misco, you are insane. And fantastic. --Peter Farago 22:28, 15 February 2006 (EST)
- Well, I'm not going to argue with that. ;) --Misco 03:48, 16 February 2006 (EST)
Epiphanies Complete
Hooray! Thanks for finishing epiphanies! (See? People really do read it.) Between you and Laineylain, more is getting done in the transcript department than had been done since it has existed. Thanks!--Steelviper 07:37, 14 March 2006 (CST)
- Thanks for saying erm...thanks! :) I would have finished it earlier but I got behind on watching the BSG episodes (technical difficulties) and I didn't dare come near the site for fear of spoilers! But now I'm all caught up so hopefully the transcripts on this site will be up to date by the time BSG comes back on and more podcasts start getting made. October... *sigh*
Woohoo, Misco! How awesome is it that we found each other on the LiveJournal battlestar_blog community yesterday? Small world :) P.S. I think you're the only other female I've seen here. LOL -- Laineylain 10:57, 14 March 2006 (CST)
