Split idea
I just had an idea on how to split up this article (so that it isn't so enormous). Once we've got it roughed out and linked (as well as hopefully verified), we could create Podcast:Occupation and Precipice/Occupation and Podcast:Occupation and Precipice/Precipice subpages that contain all the text of their respective episode. Then this page would only hold transclusions of them, making them appear to be one big page (but allowing them to be edited on the smaller pages, should that need to happen). Just a thought, and nothing I planned on implementing right away. I still have to do Precipice. --Steelviper 10:44, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
- Why not just chop it down the middle into Podcast:Occupation and Podcast:Precipice, so that we can cite each hour separately? This would also match our episode guide. --April Arcus 13:07, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
- Wow. That's a pretty clean approach. I think that was in my blindspot as I'm working from a single audio file at this point, and so was thinking of it solely as a unit. Yeah. That's a much simpler solution. If there are no objections (assuming anybody other than April is reading this), I'll go that route. --Steelviper 13:17, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
Act breaks
Aren't there any beeps? --April Arcus 15:07, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
- Um, yeah. That'd be a good clue. But no, no beeps in the mp3 that I had. I'm checking the m4a to see if it's any different (and also to see if it ends aburptly at 83:49). --Steelviper 16:05, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
- There appear to be no beeps in the m4a as well, but at least it doesn't cut off abruptly. I've got about 5 more minutes to transcribe, apparently. --Steelviper 07:39, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
- If you play the m4a in iTunes, you get a "Chapters" menu that you can use to jump to a particular act. --April Arcus 11:17, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
- I heard a beep after Act two (a couple lines earlier than the break in the transcript. Right after Terry says "The whole s- the whole thing." I got the MP3 through iTunes--not sure if that makes a difference. It's also much quieter than it used to be (thankfully.)
- There's another after Act three. Again, a bit earlier than the break in the transcript. Right after " That the hero- and when he does show weakness it's just such a noble thing that he's weak." Is grouping the rest of the comment with the earlier Act a style thing? --PrePressChris 17:29, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
- No. When there used to be individual mp3 files for each act, we'd link them in the section headings and obey the beeps strictly. --April Arcus 17:52, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
- Which reminds me. Since they're all 'of a piece' lately, shouldn't we put timecodes at the beginning of Acts? That would really help if, say, only Act four needs verification. --PrePressChris 18:20, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
