WIKI WEEK

[Rickydiculous]

Just had a go at doing the Guide to The Arts http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=The_Ricky_Gervais_Guide_To..._The_Arts. My english skills arent my strong but point but I hope its ok. If so I'll try and do the Guide to The English sometime soon as well.

Great work, CD! You summed up the links perfectly, I think. Thanks for doing that, those pages have been needing to be completed for some time now. Keep up the good work!

Little note to whoever has access to updating the news; can we be a bit more lax in what's considered worthy to go in there? It's a bit embarrassing having nothing in there for weeks on end really. I will have written the latest 5 myself after this update, just putting in random bits to split up the Dave notifications. I know there's sweet FA happening in the RSK world, but... a lot of what's put in Ricky's blog is probably worth putting up there.

I'll make sure to add what he had for lunch as soon as it's mentioned.

I want to take the opportunity to thank some folks who have been helping with wiki editing, especially those who have been helping transcribe Xfm Series 2. So a big thank you to:

Jimmy
Christina
Ellie
Happy Teeth and Ears
Tigerfoot
Ac Palma

And I especially want to thank Katie (S'alright innit), who is currently working on her 4th series 2 transcript (!) and newcomer Bret who has been working like a madman to finish his transcript. Your work is appreciated, keep it up!

If anyone else wants to lend a helping hand, here is our list of transcripts to be completed:

Not yet...but my exams are done on Wednesday!

So I finished my first transcript (Nov 23 2002 if anyone wants to give it a double check) but simultaneous to that, I developed a small application which attempts to streamline the transcription process.

It's called "Pilkies Makin Transcripts" and what you do is type in dialogue and press 'tab', type dialogue, press tab, etc. and it adds the name of the speaker, all the wiki syntax, all the wiki formatting and carriage return automatically. There are also functions for doing the same for Song entries, Actions, "Together" dialogue and there 3 "Producer Modes" for whether Karl, Sturgess or Camfield is pressing the buttons.

Whether anyone will find it useful probably depends on the person but I like it.

That's amazing Bret! I'm sure it'll be a huuuge help for everyone transcribing.

[Jimmy]

That is flippin' awesome Bret. That's gonna make transcribing so much easier. You da man an' that.

[Gtpod]

You absolute legend! Someone plaster this all over the wiki!

[Rickydiculous]

:O

That is INCREDIBLE, Bret! What a brilliant idea, I will definitely put that to good use.

bravisimo Bret

Bret, I have a small suggestion. Is there anyway you can make the app have an option to always stay on top of other windows? It would be really helpful because then you could control the express scribe software without having to switch back and forth between windows.

Again, thanks a lot for creating this, it makes things a hundred times easier.

[Bret]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I've added this. Download the new version. Though, since this is non-standard functionality I made it an option. Check "Always on Top" under the Miscellaneous menu.

[Jimmy]

Awesome, thanks Bret. :D

[Christina]

Are you saying that as Murray or as Jimmy? One way would be cool, the other way would be Jimmy...
