Yay! Page, we like pages!
proneoni: those for neon as opposed to antineoni, those against neon.
Yay!
I'm going to blame this on the snow...
Cool! I likes new pages... Having a good week, school's cancelled, my packages arrived, AND White Noise is updating, all in one day!
The only downside of my life is that I have to do all the cooking for three guys for all of february, cuz my parents are on vacation. :/
Oh well... my word's "chowplod", no idea what that means.
School closed already? Was that school for today, or school for tomorrow?
Also, easy, no-hassle cooking for guys: Frozen pizza.

I'm blaming it on my definition.

Meh, as always, just take your time, Snipes. It's not worth rushing to do something, thus taking the enjoyment out of it.
Plus, the people who are impatient need to realize that the internet is a vast place and there is sure to be something out there to entertain themselves while you toil away. And look, there's something there! Swedish porn. Just what everyone needs!
The verification thing kinda started when I mentioned that mine was funny, then Ilithi suggested we play.
Mine is "stfuz," which I take it as "Shut the f*ck up, zombies!"
Zombies!? Where? I'm hungry!
holuel: a misrepresentation of 'all is well' that stuck.
new page =) cant wait
STFU zombies!! Nice one, Diem, I loled. XD
Aww, I didn't get a word verification since I'm signed in. *pouts*
Anyway. As you may have noticed, the page still isn't done. >_> I think I still am not getting it done tonight, even though I've worked all day on it. I do not know what I am doing wrong. 0_o I mean, how does the Phoenix Requiem chick update 4-6 pages a week when I can't get one, simple, cell shaded 4 panel page done in two weeks!!! RAAAR! MADSNIPER MAD!! MADSNIPER SMASH!!!
Anyway. I'm still workin at it. >_> I hope to get it done by tomorrow, guys, but I have to finish a freelance bit first. *crai* If I had a super power, it would be super speed.... Or perhaps time-stoppage.
(BTW, I killed the spam)
Snipes, it's called not having much of a life beyond that.
That, or they stole the plans for the time-generating device I have been working on... >.> (having long since given up on building a time-travel machine).
Incom: An under-payed salary, on which you pay incom taxe.
Sarah also does the art for Dreamless, too. o.o;;
She has a killer buffer, that's why. Plus she's Australian. That answers everything.
Enfint: an elephant infant...? o.o;;
Yeah, I think Phoenix Requiem concentrates almost exclusively on the webcomic and little else with the random exception of the occasional trip or something to that effect.
priogs: the original Prius version that ran using clockwork cogs.
Ummm, To come to Sarah's defense here, I have been reading her since Inverloch... I am pretty sure she upload the pages from work at around 9am her time (other side of the dateline from me)... So she does have a life outside of the comics.
But I believe she also keeps a buffer. So that if she pushes like mad for an update, it is still at LEAST the update beyond the one you are seeing....
But that said, THIS is a great comic, I love it! Take the time you need. But if life ever presents you with a chance to make a buffer, that is how they are doing it... By not stressing about tomorrows update.
Updating at 9am is easy to do, if you've been working since 9am the previous day to make a new update.
} ; = 8 P
Now, I'm not very familiar with Phoenix Requiem (I've read some of it, but didn't get hooked enough, or had too many other distractions to go through the whole comic), nor the author, but isn't she one of the people who have managed to make that her 'day job', or something like that?
... No, she does not work full time on her comic. That was my point. From her own page: "She currently resides in Queensland, Australia and works in IT."
She has a normal job.
I like my answer the best. ;p
Habbiash
Um... yeah.
Like I said, I'm not very familiar with PR. I was under the impression that she was doing that as something like a day job, but then, I've read so many web-comics, regularly and in passing, it's easy to get the ones I don't follow religiously mixed up... /shrug
I still have a sneaking suspicion that my experimental plans for a time-generating machine were stolen, though... >.>
That could well be. You can only hope they were stolen by a future version of yourself. Then all might still turn out to your benefit.
Sarah does a page in 4 to 5 hours. A full blown, painted, gorgeous page. In 4/5 hours. No one is attacking her here. She is like a webcomic goddess. She does those amazing pages so fast that I'm sure she does have a social life.
And she's an excellent tour guide too. I visited Australia this past fall and she directed me to some very nice places in Sydney.

PHYSICS IN ACTION!
550kg dragon traveling at ~13.5 mps
3.63kg cast-iron frying pan at rest
v1 = u1(m1 - m2) + 2m2u2 / m1 + m2
v2 = u 2(m2 - m1) + 2m1u1 / m1 + m2
where
m1 = mass of dragon
m2 = mass of frying pan
u1 = velocity of dragon pre-collision
u2 = velocity of frying pan pre-collision
v1 = velocity of dragon post-collision
v2 = velocity of frying pan post-collision
v1 = 13.5(550 - 3.63) + 2(3.63)(0) / 550 + 3.63
v1 = 13.5(546.37) + 0 / 553.63
v1 = 7375.995 / 553.63
v1 = 13.32 m/s
v2 = 0(3.63 - 550) + 2(550)(13.5) / 550 + 3.63
v2 = 0 + 2(7425) / 553.63
v2 = 14850 / 553.63
v2 = 26.82 m/s
End result: Dragon's velocity is reduced by ~0.18 m/s, frying pan's velocity is increased by ~26.82 m/s.
In laymen terms: With a loud CLANG, the dragon continues moving without visibly slowing, and the frying pan goes flying across the room at twice the speed of the dragon.
Yes, I'm a physics major. } : = 8 D
(P.S. I didn't bother to account for relativistic effects, because I was only using two significant digits, and at the velocities and masses involved, the effects would not have been noticed.)
Well you've got me beat then I'm afraid....how about I try this, a kinetic mass driver cannon firing a tungsten rod projectile at the speed of sound along an intercepting plane.
On a side note: Sniper get back here, we're losing our minds apparently!
Slade, 2 or 3 dimensions? No, scratch that. Would only need to calculate for 2. Also, the speed of sound in what material at what density?
Also, what is the mass of the cannon round?
P.S. I lost my mind three and a half centuries and six lives ago...
Well considering what a conventional tungsten round can do to a tank...somehow I'm not entirely certain that it matters how it hits you.
eurse: when a eunuch curses you.
I feel there's an 'air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow' moment approaching... I'm probably wrong though.
hamphisa: occurs when a hamster (or similar rodent) enters a state of higher consciousness
African or European? And are we talking modern swallow, or the extinct kinds that grew to be the size of house cats? (oh god I wish I were joking)
hanglop: finding the center of a tootsie-pop while hanging.
At least no one's suggesting that coconuts migrate yet.
Peppier (pep-ie-aey): The man at fancy restaurants whose sole purpose is to serve you pepper.

I was reading this and I had to mention that the first thing I thought to myself was isn't the whole point of 'sans' serif to be 'without' serif?
fladsk: Slang for a 'flash desk', used for taking archive quality photos of documents placed on it; often used to copy/distribute notes quickly and discretely.
Guys.. I think we should just be happy that there is comic sans within sight.
Oents: An Ent from the wild forests of barbaric Germania
there is no* comic sans!!
NO COMIC SANS!!
DAMN YOU WORD OMISSION!!
::dodges the frying pan and hurtling dragon, all the while nomming her popcorn::
Yeah, I was wondering about that, Spaceman... Comic sans is THE DEVIL!
Coincidentally, I was chatting on a forum and talking about words that auto-corrected, like "alot" became "a lot (two words, not one)." On one forum, apparently "devil" becomes "flower." :D
Resiofix: Whenever you need to get your fix of that deadly drug, resio.
Sans-serif fonts drive me crazy because, while they may look pretty at times, there are certain letters that are indistinguishable, because without the serifs (the little things on the letters, like the little 'feet' on the lower-case "L" in the font you see when you're typing, or the cross-bars on the upper-case "i"). This is a huge problem for me, because my name starts with an upper-case "i", immediately followed by a lower-case "L" (I-L-I-T-H-I), so EVERYONE gets my name wrong because of it (it's to the point that one of the forums I frequent, I have in my signature, "Ilithi is spelled EYE EL EYE TEE AYCH EYE").
So many times, I feel like Data when Dr. Pulaski is calling him "Dat-ah" instead of "Date-ah."
I knew you had an uppercase "i" in your name. :D Why would you use an uppercase "d" in "dragon" without capitalizing "Ilithi?"
But, some people are just stupid. ;p The font I use most often on forums (whenever I bother to change my font) is Courier.
My word is "suffers..." o.o;
Yeah, you've got it, but I think I've mentioned this before in the shoutbox. But, then, the original P.S. wasn't in response to you.
} : = 8 )
Personally, I like Times New Roman.
Flatio: Er... o.o Captcha is scaring me now...
Yeah, I know, I just had to throw in the "people are stupid" comment. :3
That's an interesting word ya got there!
Inanness: the quality of being inane (lacking sense)
Yay for human stupidity!

So, anyway... I can haz popcorms? *hatchling eyes*
This has... gotten off topic.

ahswe: All that manages to escape from your mouth when being killed by a Swedish person.
Amusingly I figured it was human silliness that prompted the name. I stand corrected.
sayograg: a toast aboard military vessels, wishing their grog a found farewell.
And to answer, we have no idea. We wouldn't be acting quite so silly if we had any....this has gotten a bit out of hand though hasn't it. Good, I like utter nonsense and nonsequitors. And to think I've never read Lewis Carroll.
strifyis: syphilis' obscure cousin.
NEVER read Lewis Carrol? Not even the Jabberwocky?
"`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
peyokin: The brothers you make whenever you smoke peyote in groups.
Diem, that's like if Dr. Seuss and J.R.R Tolkien somehow simultaneously impregnated unwitting hooker... the offspring would write that. That is my theory as to how Lewis Carrol was conceived.
What an astute assertation. :3
My word is "spector." o.o;
Yep, this is definitely more interesting. I guess I should comment on things more often. I feel less like the only insane one. ^.^
Aggerbear- an African bear with a curved elevation above the atrium of the nose.
(p.s. Why is it that when I try to sign in to google, it just spouts Japanese Katakana at me??? (Curse the fact that I'm not fluent!))
Welcome, CelticCat! :D
My favorite line from the Jabberwocky is "The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"
Prirt: A type of flightless bird about the size of a chicken
I have in fact read the Jabberwocky business, and no Celtic, you are not alone. There are quite a lot of us in here.
corind: a tropical fruit who's rind is at its core.
Wait, there are normal people here?!? *hides behind Diem* o.o;
I'm trying to imagine a large dragon hiding behind someone...it isn't coming.
hersofo: compound term used to describe a place of rest. Usually after irking one's significant other.
Well, I'm not really a very large dragon. I'm only about 5 meters (16.4 feet) from nose to tail-tip (wingspan's twice that). And I didn't say my attempt at hiding would be very effective...
hey just wondering how much longer until you finish the next page?
Just as soon as you pay for it. ^_^

Hey y'all. Just wanted to stop by and say I LOVE YOU ALL. These last three weeks I got distracted trying to get freelance art jobs. I must have applied to 130 of them. No dice. SIGH. I really really need to make this artist thing work if I'm going to go full time on this comic. ;_; Anyway, thank you for being patient and awesome, and the new page will be up tomorrow.^^
Patient and awesome? Is that what you'd call all this mayhem Sniper?
Yay, you're not dead! ::glomps Snipes::
