I can’t show it to you as it exists, but I wanna show it off a bit so here are a few screencaps of it in “action”. The questions editor would be even harder to illustrate this way, and anyway I got six screencaps done and got bored, so that’s it. Though I should probably figure out some way of doing a video cap.

Though now that I’ve finally been able to schedule them, I learn that I have enough comics to update until about August 16, which is a week under six months. Which means that since I’ve started in the beginning of January, I’ve only lost one week’s worth of backlog.

Which is pretty cool, but I realized I have to start scheduling comics I’m currently drawing to the end of the queue, because otherwise I’m just going to push older ones back farther and farther until I’m embarrassed to publish them.

More things I want to say here but I spent too much time trying to push to get this done before I went to bed, so zzzzzz

I’ve been using the phrase “Geek wins!” a lot recently. It’s my summarized victory speech after I puzzle out a particularly tricky computer problem, or get around someone else’s technology road blocks to get what I want. The latter category’s generally petty and nearly more a testament to my stubbornness rather than my brain, but life’s just a set of word problems to me anyway, so I’ll still add it to the big board.

Here’s an example. Today, Greg posts a link to a Tom the Dancing Bug comic.

I click. There’s a comic. A fun time for all.

I say hey, you know what, I haven’t seen TtDB comics in a while, I wonder what’s been happ’nin’.

I click and the page starts loading.

Then suddenly, the page goes black.

I hear the primal screech of a 300 baud modem: this has offended my geek ancestors. I can’t explain why the extra O in “Ooops!” irritated me exactly; probably invoked the sarcastic, drawn-out version. “OoooOOooops! Did *I* accidentally pour Tabasco in your soda when you weren’t looking?? I am SO sorry!” *tee hee, giggle-run to daddy’s Porsche*

That, and the basic premise that you’re not a Genius until you sign up on their site. Yeah, bitch, it’s go time.

Let’s see what you got, exactly.

Oh say what’s this here?

Oh ooops, what did I do?? Oh, yeah, I reached into your brain and made you forget the number twelve. Please sign up here to give me your lunch money.

Geek wins.
