August 8
So, with CW over, what lies ahead for 5M? (Hmm... that acronym isn't working as well as I thought yet.) Here's a run-down of my immediate plans for the site. <ul>[*]The most important thing that needs doing is post-event cleanup. During the event, I simply blasted the content out and didn't bother with details like back/forward links; I'll be taking care of those now that the pressure's off. A bigger problem is that v4.0 remains in an in-between state, with some fivers inaccessible and some subsites not even there. I won't be able to really overhaul the PHP till September, but I'll at least patch things up a bit.[*]Speaking of v4.0, you'll recall that the images we're currently using are only temporary. Dan Carlson and I will be working on the new ones over the coming weeks; believe me, when you see what Dan can do, you won't miss my stopgap images.[*]There may or may not be subsite events in August, but there will definitely be fivers. I have several in progress, and there are many, many guest fivers waiting in the wings. One of my first goals is to get a good start on the much-requested Season 4 of Enterprise.[*]I've had a new idea for making some money through 5M. I think this one will work better than the signed-fivers thing; later this week I'll explain what it is.[*]Finally, the fifth-anniversary article is still coming, it's just taking a bit longer than I thought.[/list] |

Oo! More ways to give Zeke money!
Have you received my purchase request for "Zero Hour," BTW? |
take your time, Zeke. ;) We'll be here.
And about the initials 5M, it's just missing something. Like the V? ;) |

That's why I liked 5M.net, since it both reflected the site name accurately and completed the visual and auditory iamb.

First of all: Hey evay! :) how are things at HoT? See there's a name with three letters that everyone recognizes. If one day they changed it to Ho it would take on a whole new meaning. ;) lol my point? oh I guess is that 5M.N would be ok in a crunch...

"5M.N" looks odd to me, like it's some strange riff on the alphabet or one of those letter rebuses (52 Cs in a D, 4 W on a C, that kind of thing). |
It's a pity Zeke was never into Roman Numerals - then he could have called the site VMV. Might have confused some though ("5005? What the heck is that supposed to mean?").
Hmmm, I wonder what Pi would be, converted into Roman Numerals... (Aaand I hate to be a bother (okay, so that's a lie, but what do I care?), but when can I expect my sup[er duper genuine signed fiver copy, oh great Zekeness?) |
Evay:
I probably will. The nausea is gone so I've been able to be online again. ;) |

However, I honestly never thought of VMV. It does have a lovely symmetry to it. Which is better than a fearful symmetry. Quote:

^^How did the Mayans express numbers? I didn't know they were significantly different.

I thought that was the old-fashioned way of asking "Was your head up your ass or what?"

Oh, I should have answered this right away: I have NOT forgotten the fiver orders that have already been placed. If I can, I'm going to send them out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay; it's a matter of perfectionism and procrastination, two great psychoses that taste great together.
