Let's get out there and write what deserves to be read, people.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

=== Gurth-Telechý ===
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j81/steel_viper/Guns/Gurth-telechy.png
Gurth-Telechý has been operational for some time now. However, never to be satisfied with the status quo, I decided to swap out scope rings on her the other day. The result was the scope being as close to the bore as I could imagine (at least while still being able to move the AO). I had to swap scope bases to get it up a little higher, as the bell ended up touching the barrel with just the ring swap.

Periodically Updated Thought[edit]

"Straight to hell - that's where I sent'em" -- Urge, "Straight to Hell"

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Battestarwiki Projects[edit]

TOS Improvement Project[edit]

Priorities (in no particular order):

  • TOS Character histories
    • All but done with these.
  • Episode Guides
    • Basically done with the summaries, now we need to fill in questions, analysis, quotes, and notes.

Island of Misfit Images[edit]

I'd encourage everybody to check out the Island of Misfit Images, the home of some images that have been uploaded but not linked to. Hopefully you can either help them find a good home, or help identify ones that need to be deleted.

Podcast Transcripts[edit]

I finally caved and added this to my list. I always felt that my transcription was too slow, and preferred verifying, but I've been doing some transcription lately.

Development Pages[edit]

Experimental pages or pages in development that aren't ready for the main namespaces (yet).

Future Projects[edit]

  • TOS nitpicks - a neat link I found looking for Red Squadron info.

Plans Within Plans[edit]

Savage 93 + 2 X Weaver bases + Burris rings + Mueller APV + Custom Stock (eventually) = Gurth-Telechý

Project Completion: 0%

Steelviper's Thoughts[edit]

Pages in my userspace where I reflect on wiki or BSG stuff.

Kansas City Corporate Challenge[edit]

  • 2.5 Mile Bike Race: 7:25.12
  • 5k: 24:53
  • Volleyball: 1-3
  • Soccer: 0-2 (scored 1 goal)
  • 400: 0:59.537 (7th place for 2 division points)
  • Mile: 6:26.125 (8th place for a division point!)
  • 800: 2:29.669 (5th place in division A for 4 division points)
  • Duathlon: 1:28:58 (6th place in division A for 3 division points)
  • Flag Football: 2-2 7th place (2 ints, 1 extra point, and a broken pinky finger)

Origin of Nickname[edit]

"A truly fearsome beast, the great viper of Arcadia possesses strength and tenacity unmatched by any other predator on that world. It coils around its prey in a crushing embrace, then finishes its kill with a deadly poison. The warriors of the Clan I name Steel Viper show remarkable tenacity in battle and in their service to our great mission. May they continue to serve with unshakable faith, and may their opponents learn to fear the fangs of the Steel Vipers."
-- From Birth of a New Society: The Collected Writings of Nicholas Kerensky, Strana Mechty Press, 3025

Known Aliases[edit]

Around here you may see me referred to as "Steel" or "SV".

BSG-related Boards
Site Role (if any)
Battlestar Central Technical Advisor
GalacticaBS Artist
Official Scifi Boards "Stranger"
Mortal Storm Major/Wiki-helper

At GalacticaBS (and now at the Mortal Storm board) I'm known as "WikiViper" due to the abundance of Vipers there, and the fact that "Steel" and "SV" are both already taken.
