@tchrist Thanks, looks better. I updated the meta post with your version.

No problem, it's always fun to play around with pictures instead of doing real work

@MattЭллен done and done.

Cameron

Oct 19, 2012 16:08

I'm happy with that last one, if you guys are. I think it should link to the meta post, since that will give people background info and then sent them here

draft #3

I'm still playing with the spacing around the text boxes

Cameron

Oct 19, 2012 15:59

@MattЭллен @StoneyB thanks for the feedback, here is draft #2 (using Georgia instead of Baskerville, reducing the size of the bottom text, and darkening up the writing hand a little). I keep going back and forth on the spacing and the font sizes.

I don't know if you had ideas for color schemes/fonts/whatever

Cameron

Oct 18, 2012 18:50

I've got a little free time if you want me to try to mock up one of these

Hmm ... there's a lotta folks around who write pretty well. Why would they want to post on the blog instead of in the Q&A? he said rhetorically. Obviously, because they're not limited by an inferior question, or by such constraints as get a question closed. So perhaps something building on freedom of expression or get it off your chest or don't wait to be asked . . .

@MattЭллен what were you thinking for the community ad for getting more contributors? Something like a catchphrase?

Cameron

Oct 18, 2012 18:12

@KitFox wow, thanks! I had no idea people were even reading it

Cameron

Oct 18, 2012 18:11

hi @MattЭллен, thanks for letting me write it!

@Robusto I too have tried to make a sound on a shakuhachi and failed. It's just too wide for my breath

Cameron

Oct 25, 2012 21:03

@RegDwighт sounds like a pretty wide mix. I don't think I've ever heard of a hulusi

Cameron

Oct 25, 2012 20:53

@RegDwighт What do you play?

Cameron

Oct 25, 2012 20:53

People keep trying to get MusicXML to the point where it can be used to move digital scores around, but most of the composers I know still use midi for that, even though you tend to lose articulations

Cameron

almost equal, interestingly

English Language Learners

Proposed Q&A site for people learning English, whose questions are too basic for the English Language and Usage site.

Closed before being launched.

Cameron

Oct 16, 2012 04:36

I guess that's kind of a childish fear, now that I read it there all written out

Cameron

Oct 16, 2012 04:36

@JasperLoy yeah, but there's just something about putting something on the Internet that seems so permanent, like if I say something stupid people will always be able to back to it and point it out to me

Cameron

Oct 16, 2012 04:33

@Cerberus thanks for reading it! I was pretty nervous to put it out there.

Cameron

Oct 6, 2012 18:24

Going well, just studying. Lazy day today.

Cameron

Oct 6, 2012 17:59

How's it going?

Cameron

@Cerberus howdy

Unless you meant comedic timing, in which case, zing.

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:58

Is that where all these kids came from?

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:56

I use the rhythm method, you insensitive clod!

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:38

@Cerberus Any favorite clips I should watch? I'm a neophyte.

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:18

@tchrist Ahh, Stephen Fry can't keep it together at all!

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:11

Ah, I'd never heard of it, thanks for the tip.

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:09

It was very funny, how did you come across it?

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:09

@tchrist (hopefully) unrelated, I watched an episode of Quite Interesting thanks to you mentioning it in chat the other day

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:08

@tchrist yup, that's the magic formula

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:06

Some of those joints can be very classy. Diamond studded whips and whatnot.

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 18:04

was it the naked Ursidae or the fruit?

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 17:57

@Robusto Naked Ursidae narrowly tolerate the sparse evergreen fruit belonging to other naked Ursidae.

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 02:31

@tchrist That's just hyperbolic

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 02:26

@Cerberus good night

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 02:26

Hi to you too, @tchrist

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 02:25

@Cerberus and here I thought you hadn't noticed

Cameron

Oct 2, 2012 02:25

@Mahnax I'm also doing well, thanks. Just got over a cold, it feels so good to breath again
