  • Never give me an invitation to pic spam D/R, because I will go nuts.

  • But I don't *want* to go to work. Bah.

  • Figured out the basics of a plot for a sequel using someone's suggestion in that previous post that I'm too lazy to link. However, I don't want it to be the first sequel just because of the setup to the story that I wrote before figuring out the plot. How mad is that? I have all these (mainly) fluffy snips written but I just need to figure out which stories I want them in. (Seriously, I will be impressed if this all gets accomplished without me wandering off to the next shiny thing.) Pretty sure dinosaurs will be in the first sequel, but not as a major plot point. *rubs hands*

  • Noooooooooo. Work! Wah.

  • BSG Webisode 1. Cool! Should pop up first thing instead of the main SciFi page. Did they figure out how to block non-U.S. viewers? Hope not.

  • ETA: Have gone fucking insane. No, brain, I will *not* be doing some sort of aquatic cow plot. "Huh. Cows like cranberries." I really am fearing the brain at the moment. Really. Help. Bwahahahaha! "So...the cows float. In big giant tanks." "You betcha!" "Um, okay. Why?" "Because if they sunk, they wouldn't live." So dumb. I think my brain's broken. It's just sort of babbling in my general direction now.

I think they did... I've been watching the 'Your video will begin playing after a brief advertisment' thing for a good couple of almost five minutes. It may be that it's waiting for the whole thing to d/l before it plays, but I'm not holding my breath.

The above link has links to YouTube and I think other versions of it, if you can't get through at the SciFi site.

Thank you! :)

Oh dang. :( No, I didn't have any advertisements when I pulled it up.

Ads would have been an improvment. All I got was text telling me there was going to be ads! *g*

They did figure out how to block non-US users, yes. There are links to it elsewhere here, though.

I watched it before work this morning, and thought it looked awesome. I can't wait!

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure why they bother. I mean *surely* they must realize that copies will be available 5 seconds after they post it. Although...probably relates to agreements with studios in other countries.

And yeah - I'm starting to get excited for the new season. YAY!

Did they figure out how to block non-U.S. viewers?

I'm guessing it's all based on IP-address ranges. If your IP address comes from one owned by a company outside the US, you can't access the webisode.

This seems to be supported by the fact that one of the "work arounds" I've seen involves using some sort of proxy server plugin for FireFox, which I'm sure bounces you through a US server as the proxy machine.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooooh! FireFox is totally the best. Totally.

The link to the "fix" is here.

[identity profile] meeshy.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, thanks for that. Will save me having to wait around for uploads/youtube next time :-D

Very cool icon, BTW!

Thanks! From [livejournal.com profile] elismor.

Yeah, Sci Fi the morons blocked anyone outside of the US. Luckily there's youtube and torrents and download sites *sticks two fingers up at Sci Fi*

*snickers*

You go girl!

[identity profile] meeshy.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It just makes me laugh. All they've accomplished is increase the number of downloads/youtube instances of this and decrease traffic to their site. Morons.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Seems very counter-intuitive to me.

[identity profile] meeshy.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because they're idiots *G*

[identity profile] diavestra.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Whee! I can't wait for it!

I know!

Oh yeah, it totally looks it!

I am so jealous!!!! It looks like the lovliest spot.

Heheh - just realised that I have too!

*thinks she should go back to being drunk and only reading the headings*

(Oh, and *when* you come to visit, we'll go there, if you like.)

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
That *will* totally happen someday. Right now I'm hoping to get my act in gear to head over to the UK in 2007. :)

You know, I now have over 600 pictures in my LJ scrapbook, over 200 of which are in the Doctor Who folder.

*ahem*

[identity profile] debs7.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I see nothing wrong with that :)

Other people might but I certainly don't.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
You realize that you totally enable me, right? :D

[identity profile] debs7.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
If that is my purpose in life then I will embrace it whole-heartedly :)

Just don't get too distracted when cruising around on your bike!

And your icon - LOVE THAT SCENE. The staging! OMG. LOVE.
