BARBELITH: GLOBALWATCH GO GO GO!

17:16 / 18.09.03

Oh my god- i wish i had a digital camera, so i could show the world Jemimaville Post Office.

17:22 / 18.09.03

Shoot...ask questions later.

I'm in.

17:24 / 18.09.03

Is this a new clique?

18:20 / 18.09.03

000: it's more a "click, click" thing.

gingerbop and everybody else without digital cameras - we still want your stories!! follow the instructions above and let's roll!!!

18:42 / 18.09.03

I'm filled with caffeine, sugar and E numbers, so I say YES! Let's do it.

18:56 / 18.09.03

...you gotta write me for your shiny password, Bizzzzzzzzzzzz...

19:03 / 18.09.03

Ah yes. Sorry, terribly excited.

20:10 / 18.09.03

A really large question masquerading as a three word sentence:

What constitutes "news"?

20:19 / 18.09.03

Yes, because where I live what constitutes news is lost budgies, illegal parking and family fun days; none of which is remotely interesting.

20:28 / 18.09.03

Dudes, it's Barbelith:

No need to stick to strict "news" categorization...

Think of it less as a newspaper and more as a "look at this thing that exists where I live. it's story is this and this. I walk by it on my way to work." or "I went to Carnival in Rio. Carnival in Rio is a marvellous visual experience.... here are some photos" etc etc.

Of course different people will have different degrees of involvement with the community, so some people will have proper NEWS like in a newspaper. Those who don't, just try to be intersting!!

21:33 / 18.09.03

Nothing even slightly interesting ever happens round here, so what the hell..

Prepare for scoops like "I saw this flashing light in the sky and I don't think it was a plane cos it was moving funny" and "I thought that oil refinery had shut down - why are there always flames coming out of the chimney?"..

I want in... I will start as text only but this gives me a nice excuse to purchase a digital cam so perhaps I will be in full colour before too long.

23:32 / 18.09.03

Pictures of asses. Lot of asses. Shakin in yr face.

00:51 / 19.09.03

Wait. Since we're anarchists, wouldn't we contact you with information other then these "rules" to enter?

11:02 / 19.09.03

Spyder: we're *organized* anarchists, dude, not messy anarchists... (lame lame lame) I just need your e-mail address to send you the password. I also need your nickname to put it up on the list of authors on the site, so we know which GLOBALWATCH poster is which Barbelith poster.

(And, guys, please wait just a little bit more for the password and whatnots. I'm currently in the process of getting a shiny private server for the website, instead of putting it up as a blogger thing.)

11:54 / 19.09.03

WHO GOT DA SKILLZ?? WHO GOT DA SKILLZ??

Well, I don't.
Do you? Do you know how to play around with web templates? Because I tell you, there's a shiny GLOBALWATCH site that needs some facelift, and I could use some help (choosing fonts, designing background and a logo etc). I mean, to make the place pretty for when the posting begins.

Do you know how to do it? If not, do you know any Barbeloid that knows how to and would be interested in participating? It's not too much work, remember, just a logo think, a background thing and a font thing.

With sugar on the top. If no one replies until a certain time, I'll deliver it as it is now and we can imporove on it later.

15:14 / 19.09.03

I'd be up for making it pretty. Will have a further look when I get home from work. PM me.

15:22 / 19.09.03

and if you need a second opinion (two heads and all that) count me in as a consultant/design monkey for Globalwatch's facial presence too.

19:33 / 19.09.03

Are you saying that this is a click click clique?

Spyder: we're *organized* anarchists, dude, not messy anarchists...

Are you motivated over lazy anarchists?

If you didn’t drink so much milk and eat the wrong foods you would have much more energy to be shutterbug anarchists.

Ask me how. You know you want to.

19:48 / 19.09.03

sorry, 000: the rocketship took off without you

07:25 / 20.09.03

okay, as some of you might know, Jade doesn't come online on weekends, so if anybody else wants to join this, PM me and I'll hand in your passwords. It's not like I'm a real anarchist or anything, but hey!

12:44 / 20.09.03

I have to say, this is a really cool project.

Less searchable M0rd4nt

12:57 / 20.09.03

I'd be well up for this. Will email when I get my digital camera up and running.

14:49 / 20.09.03

Jade: will PM you soon with ideas.

I too shall be joining in when I soon acquire a digital camera. Scanning 35mm is too much of an arse.

23:36 / 20.09.03

Damn those messy anarchists! Getting all chaotic and stuff! ::shakes heads::

11:20 / 22.09.03

IMPORTANT

On Friday I sent an e-mail to about 15 agents with their IDs, passwords and instructions. If you e-mailed me and didn't receive your info, PM me and I'll send it to you ASAP

12:12 / 22.09.03

*bump*

Agents: IF you didn't get your password and ID, contact me ASPA

(just getting increasingly paranoid that no one got the info)

13:03 / 22.09.03

According to the site, 18 people have registered so far....

13:04 / 22.09.03

Shhhhhh, you'l give our position away to the agents of the enemy...

I got my password, I'm a Barbelith agent, like a reporter for the Hitchhikers guide, have notebook, will report...

18:37 / 26.09.03

*bumpity bump*

to all whom this may concern...

23:05 / 27.09.03

I set up a small thingie on the blogroll that allows people to browse posts by country. Remember to select your country under the Category menu when posting (I've listed Brazil, Canada, England, Finland, Scotland and the U.S.; if you are from elsewhere, let me know and I'll add it)

Does any of you live in Nevada or nearby? This could be fun to cover.

(p.s.: moderators, shouldn't this thread be moved to Creation?)

10:20 / 28.09.03

I want to know if we get free robins eggs. Those things are rad!

10:48 / 29.09.03

Kase, that's gold.
rage, behave or the mothership won't take you with her.

Boys and girls, just to let you know - keep checking the site, there's a fresh update straight from Canada there.
