geovikiIt's begun!
As threatened, I've concocted a community where readers may learn the status of delayed WIPs.

hp_wiplash: Harry Potter Works In Progress - Late, Abandoned, Suspended, Hanging
A million thanks tooxoniensis for help in setting up the trickier aspects - like the index - and for the beautiful banner! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
As requested, it's open to slash, het, and gen. I've tucked some entries in already. Feel free to add more (please use the template).

We're transitioning at home to high-speed DSL internet. Yay, me! I went over my allotted hours again for August - for the last time! No one's gonna clock my hours online again. I will no longer have to wait 30 seconds for each stupid page to load through my phone line! I'm free!
In the meantime, we're moving computers, changing email addresses, and all that stuff. So this is a transition month; I hope your communications to me don't go astray!

Spent the day yesterday driving to Vail, watching my son's soccer team lose, and driving home. Seven hours gone - pffft! And the Vail team doesn't play in Vail, but 18 miles west of Vail. Real estate in Vail is too expensive to waste on fields. Vail proper sits in a valley about as wide as my forearm. Another game was happening on a nearby field: all men, all Hispanic (or "Mexican"; in the sense that their forefathers were Mexican when the state was part of that country - they undoubtedly lived in Colorado far longer than I have). The game was quite well-attended, but entirely segregated.

Finally, I appreciate the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_britglish community. Now I need a bureauspeak translation site. We got this from one of our Associate Directors, who lobs these in our direction every so often. They are all equally incomprehensible. Translation, anyone?
At the heart of these five steps is a conversation that begins by setting organizational expectations that continuous learning is a central part of the culture. It is also about embedding a discussion of strategic training and evaluation of the impact of that training as an on-going part of management discussions at all levels of the organization. Our guidance is in alignment with the GAO review results.

Also, great public service. Thank you!

Date: 2004-08-30 11:52 am (UTC)This is sure to be a hit; it'll be so nice to eventually only have to check one place for the status of some of those "updated once every six months" fics instead of bookmarking a dozen or more sites.

Date: 2004-08-30 07:26 pm (UTC)It is also about embedding . . . We need learn to talk about whether we are learning.
Our guidance is in alignment. . . I only wrote this because I had to.
Overall translation: I am hoping that the reader will be impressed by my quasi-learned verbiage and assume that I am actually saying something of value. In truth, this is drivel.
Regarding the site - nice! Mirror of Maybe might be a good addition to the index.
