Guess the BTS Photo

Work is coming along well on the new Stargate site. Had an interesting conversation with Hulu yesterday about integration options. I'm personally still procrastinating on how to finish the automatic image upload/resizing parts for the content manager. Pffft! I HAVE to finish something before today's meeting, this is getting crazy.

First guess on which episode this picture is from gets to pick... (I know you all want Atlantis) an episode of SG-1 that you'd like to see BTS for. OR I'll cave and you can pick an SGA eps. :)

Zelenka is Adrift

I don't know why, but I just love them in their space suits! It looks very uncomfortable, but the thought of just those shiny white suits being the only thing between you and the vacuum is fascinating.

Zelenka appears to enjoy it, uncomfortable or not! Shep.. not so much.



Now onto the truly fascinating stuff: folder permissions. Been having the toughest time getting a small component to work. The hardest part is that the error is intermittent. I seem to fix it, and everything works fine, then a couple hours later I try it again, and it's broken without me touching it! I think I'm going to have to trace the error line by line, to try and work out which particular line it fails on. Drat!

Importing a list of "Other Characters" at the moment. Having a tough time deciding if a character is important enough to be added to it's own Character page, or be relegated to "other".

A comment from my other (99% non stargate) blog:

I have a question.
What is Kino?
I googled it, and didn't get a satisfactory answer.
Thank you!
Morjana

That is indeed a very good question. My answer: I'm not entirely sure. Here is how I understand it (although I may be wrong, since it's partially based on assumptions). Kino is another character... that's about all I can guess. I've heard it described as a small object which can go where it pleases, and looks at things from different angles. I know vague right? I'll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more!

* Species - Genomes? Extraterrestrial Life Forms? ETs?
* Places - Loci? Habitats?
* Weapons - Technology? Kinetic Energy Devices?
* Transport - Conveyance?
* Home Entertainment - Video Mission Logs? Video Archives?

I think we decided on for categories:
Beings - Asgard, Goa'uld, Wraith, Genii
Places - Pegasus Galaxy, M7G-677,
Items - Staff Weapon, Ronon's Gun, DHD, Life signs detector
Transports - SGC Gate, Puddle Jumper, Wraith Hive Ship
Other Characters - Merlin, Captain Alicia Vega, Thor

Home Entertainment stuff is going to live someplace else, these categories are going to be mostly Lexicon type information, which can be tagged to other pieces of information, episodes, and characters.

Oops on the comment moderation!

I forgot that this blog has moderated comments! I've published all the ones that were received, and going by the times, it looks like kimberlyfdr is our winner! I know.. was too easy for fans, but I wanted to start with something we'd all love.

I went through some of the images we have approved for release, and sadly we don't have BTS for every season. In fact, we are still missing seasons 7-10 for SG1, and 1-3 of SGA. This is only because the selects haven't been made, there are photo's for everything, they just live in a big archive.

I'm excited about some of the photo's that will end up on the new site. I don't want to steal the thunder, so I'm going to hold off until the new site is released.

I'll wait to hear from kimberlyfdr before I post a picture, can't wait to hear which episode you choose!

PS. Thanks everyone for welcoming me back to the blog-o-sphere!

Stargate all the way

I've managed to never mention Stargate on the blog I occasionally post on now. For a while I was not working on the Stargate site, so it was easy to never mention it. However in the last couple months my team has been reassigned, and working on a revamp of the current site.

I plan on posting a couple images a week in a large-ish format as I used to. I'll be posting images only from episodes that have already aired here in the US, which means it could be from any SG-1 or SGA episode, but nothing from SGU until those episodes have aired. Will try and keep people updated on the joys of writing the site, as I know everyone is as fascinated by it as I am!
Release date on the new site will be a surprise. I don't know what marketing efforts, or other things are going into the launch, so want to sidestep any toes in advance by just not talking about a specific date.



Lets call this "Guess the Episode". For many this will be an easy one :) First right answer gets to help me pick the next series/episode the image will be from.
