Halp! Archive Jockies needed
Carl-E:
I forgot how that worked - it needs Jeph to participate, he has to approve transcriptions. That's probably why he gave up on it.
Maybe something can be done through the wiki? Create a searchable subdirectory of transcription files that follow a certan format (like ohnorobot's)?
Of course, someone would have to monitor them, and that sounds like a full time job...
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph said at ECCC that the paid transcription project was near completion, and he was noncommittal but positive about making the results available to the public.
jwhouk:
I somewhat intentionally wasn't descriptive with the earlier strips, something I've been trying to get back to in the later ones. Of course, Jeph's style wasn't as wordy as it is now.
As you can probably tell, I'm not as comfortable with some words used in the comics (the seven words of Carlin fame, in particular). I just believe that curses and swear words aren't necessary in conversation.
I'd also bet that as you archive-binged, you saw a link in one of Jeph's news posts about Randy's comic, and clicked on it. It happens to us all at times.

I'm pretty sure that is what happened. Somehow it was Marten and Faye dropping Choo Choo Bear out the window. But only in my own mind.

Maybe not necessary, but not useless either.
