Editor Log: May 2005

Oh, the merry month of May!

It’s still springtime, no matter that it feels like summer around here. I’m not sure what a young editor’s fancy turns to (but I have a strong suspicion), but I know what an old editor’s does. More work on that marvelous thing we call the E2 database!

Now, for recent activity in the Garden of Good and Bad Nodes:

Pruning

• A comprehensive list of Doomsday Cults and other groups of fanatical idiots – a one-line response. Advised noder that a complete writeup would be a good thing.
• Ted Nugent Essence of Life Gonzo Recipe, barf, sonnet ii, sonnet iii, sonnet iv, and sonnet v – at the noder’s request.
• Is it possible to love someone without guilt? – at the noder’s request. Advised author of subsequent writeup that, this one having been deleted, an edit might be in order to remove the line referring to the deleted writeup.
• And the usual day-to-day culling.

Digging in the Garden

• Werewolf: The Forsaken – advised noder of typos.
• Jón Leifs – assisted noder with punctuation.
• The Life of Jesus – an excellent WU with just a few small typos and syntax mishaps.
• Beef tongue as a training tool for minor surgery – assisted noder with proofreading.

Taking Stock

• karma debt
• Phyrkrakr

/me bids adieu to Sharq, as he leaves our merrie editorial band to concentrate on Real Life, with hopes that he’ll not wander far from us.

This brings to an end our series of Compact Editor Logs©. Next month’s log will return to our usual ranty style that you’ve all come to know and love.
