=====Monday 17th June=====
A ''very'' unwelcome rumor is circulating to the effect that FreeBklynDB, who is by far the most temperate superadmin in SoapBox, has stood down. If true, this is simply dreadful news: a real body-blow to the room. I think no more highly of any other superadmin, including the owner, Zen.
=====Thursday 9th May=====
SoapBox has gotten a little better in the last month or so, perhaps because Gaza has been quieter?
=====Thursday 28th March=====
I have been recovering from a minor surgery for the last fortnight, so not much is new PalTalk-wise for me. The quality of chat in SoapBox has deteriorated markedly in that time - entirely co-incidentally, obviously(!). Good people are just busy with the rest of their lives, I think. So be it.
=====Saturday 2nd March=====
The dust appears to be settling after the 'St. Valentine's Day massacre', although the admin-list remains locked-down (ie only room-owner Zen can promote and demote). History teaches that this is not sustainable, hence this draft open letter:-
''Dear fellow SoapBox superadmin,''
''Briefly, I am writing because I believe that we are presently living on borrowed time: sooner or later SoapBox will become ungovernable in Zen's absence without the admin list being unlocked again. I also believe that the only way to manage and sustain that change is to enforce collective responsibility among the superadmins. (NB: that's two beliefs so far - I'm counting.)''
''We have made a good start with the introduction of the 'one-shot' rule, ie one action per super per offense. And understanding and acceptance of this principle has grown and is growing: good. Next, perhaps, should be acceptance that individual supers must not create or remove other supers?''
''But: should we oblige Zen to manage the supers alone, or devise a quorum system, say? My third belief is that a quorum, or qualified majority, or supermajority, or some such scheme will inevitably be needed for making decisions of this kind - if not in this case, then in others - as we continue to strengthen and grow our great chatroom.''
''I therefore hope you will find time to give these three beliefs some thought. Best wishes, -Erot''
=====Sunday 18th February=====
I've done ''very'' little on the wiki for the last five weeks apart from maintaining the Movie Night page, mostly due to work commitments. Meanwhile, the last few days have been tumultuous in Zen's Soapbox room: a double room-raid by a still-unidentified American** perpetrator stripping many superadmins of their hats has gone down in room history as the 'St. Valentine's Day massacre'; the aftershocks are still being felt, but a better regime seems to be rising from the ashes of the old, thankfully. Watch that space!
⟨⟨ **my conjecture, admittedly. ⟩⟩
=====Sunday 14th January=====
The Interwiki issue has now been fixed - at least for the time being. Apparently 'mh' is the language-code for Marshallese and this ambiguity was the cause of the problem.
=====Friday 5th January=====
A very strange issue has arisen wrt InterWiki links, see my question at <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_noticeboard#Is_Interwiki_broken?>; hunting-down the affected redlinks sounds like a complete pain in the arse to me :-(
=====Wednesday 3rd January=====
Christmas being over, I am ''slowly'' getting back into my coding-groove (see eg <[https://splats.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Hoc/JS/FindFilm this search tool]> and various notes at <https://splats.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Hoc/JS/TODOs>).
=====Thursday 14th December=====
I am ''swamped'' with work at the moment, so this blog is kind-of in abeyance.
BlueJaysGirl's Movie Might is now running ''thrice''-weekly (Tue, Thur, & Sat).

=====Wednesday 29th November=====
Last night I showed an uploaded (to <[https://pcloud.com pCloud]>) MPEG in BlueJaysGirl's Movie Might room for the first time. This makes it possible to show films that someone owns (on DVD, presumably) by ripping and temporarily uploading it to an online filestore.
=====Sunday 12th November=====
Line 75 ⟶ 130:
I have continued to work on my glossary, and on a few elements of <[[mh:splats:User:Splat/PalFork|the PalFork project]]>.
