Podcast talk:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

Hey, were they kidding about Edward James Olmos not returning for Season Three? They joked about doing him in CGI instead afterwards so I assume they were kidding Rocky8311 15:17, 12 March 2006 (CST)

Br's vs. CRLF's

I'm not sure if I was in the right switching the <br>'s carriage returns, but generally we avoid html where possible so I just put the returns in. If the breaks look better, we should use <br/>'s instead (as that is XHTML compliant, or some such). Also, I just want to note that as cool as it is to have David Eick's thoughts too, it makes transcribing a LOT more complicated. There were a couple of fragments that are lost with them talking over each other.--Steelviper 13:57, 13 March 2006 (CST)

OK, sorry about the <br>'s. Didn't know there was a <br/> tag. I'll use the double carriage returns from now on. It does look better with the carriage returns, in my opinion. Thanks! Regarding Eick & RDM simultaneously talking, I concur. This episode's transcription is taking a lot longer to do because of it, and it's one and a half times as long as a regular episode. A bit more laborious and time-consuming, but not insurmountable. Carpal tunnel syndrome, here I come! -- Laineylain 14:45, 13 March 2006 (CST)

The current formatting is adequate, in my opinion. There is a standard convention for marking up simultaneous speech in transcript analysis, which I can demonstrate tonight when I have my notes on hand, but it pretty much requires that we switch to a monospace font with fixed column widths, or do some very nasty markup tricks. --Peter Farago 14:50, 13 March 2006 (CST)
