Plain Wikis

Posted on August 8th, 2007 by Cas

So how do you follow a self pitying, melodramatic, over-the-top, love-me-please! post like we’ve just had here on Bright Meadow?

Easy.

By going to the opposite extreme and posting a video that explains wikis in plain english of course!

    Nice video. I’ve struggled explaining wikis to some people in the past, so perhaps I’ll hoard this video for later. I was, however, let down that it wasn’t narrated by you. :P BrightCast has been out of service for how long again? ;)
    By the way, did you get my email? :P

    It’s not narrated by Cas?
    I’m not watching it then.
    Total letdown.
    :P

    Josh - A video. Narrated by me. Hell will have to turn into a winter sports resort first :P
    Yes I got your email. And yeah, I’d noticed the BrightCast has been out of commission for a while. Ideas please?

    peroty - see my response to Josh about the unlikelyhood of me EVER narrating a video (is unlikelyhood a word? Well, it is now!)

    Bah. You could narrate a video. :P
    Hmm. BrightCast ideas… hm. I’ll have to think on that one a bit.

    And also, regarding the word unlikelyhood - yes, it is a word, except you misspelled it. It’s actually spelled unlikelihood, and has been around quite a while - the first date that the OED cites it from is 1483.

    And I know, I know. That’s more about the unlikelihood you ever wanted to know, but well… what can I say? :) I like words.

    Ah, ok. I thought it was a word, but at the same time I’ve pretty much been thinking I was on the plant Zog all day, so I wanted to check.

    It is a mighty fine word!
    And I demand to hear you narrate something. :P

    peroty - go listen to the Bright Cast. I promise you that will give you MORE than enough of my hideous Brit accent to listen to!
