Small Web September Check-In 3: Communities!

[enchantedsleeper]

Our third check-in point for Small Web September is at hand!

We're now on the home stretch - but there's still lots of time to play around with your small web project(s), so if you're just joining us, welcome! We hope you enjoy taking part and chatting with everyone in the comments.

The theme of this week's check-in is communities! There are lots of cool groups, forums, mailing lists, and social media movements for or adjacent to the small/indie web - I'm posting in one right now! These can be really excellent places to find like-minded hobbyists, share tips and resources, and take part in challenges and events (again, like this one :D).

So, in the comments, share how you're doing with your small web project(s) and also where you like to spend time talking about the small web, if anywhere! I'm not going to too-rigidly define what counts as a "community", so if you think it counts, mention it here.

As a bonus discussion prompt: what is something you would love to see/join a community for (this one doesn't have to be small web-related!) but you haven't yet found one? Have you ever thought of starting it yourself?

As a reminder, this is the third of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on them, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide and all discussion is welcome. For our previous check-in post, head on over to Small Web September Check-In 2: Halfway House/Troubleshooting!

There'll be a longer gap than usual between this and our next (and final!) check-in, which will be posted on Tuesday 30th September, the last day of the challenge - so look out for it then!

I have accomplished it all! I made myself sit down and then spent several hours working through the screen captures and managed to get 1336 files reduced to 134, saving 1202 inodes that I can now use on other files. It is such a long and dull task, which is why I kept putting it off!

I still have two other TV shows that I need to reduce for this particular website but these are the BIG ones so I will have to tackle them just a few at a time when I am ready. Maybe next September...? *grin*

Oh gosh, this reminds me that I desperately need to do this for all the autocaps I've accumulated for various videogame cutscenes and tv shows. It is such a tedious task, you're right! Good job on condensing them down so much!

Thanks... and yes, it is a tedious task and hard on the 'mouse hand/wrist' because it is so repetitive.

Almost the magic 1337! 😂 And damn - that is a huge accomplishment! Kudos!

I can completely understand that. I hope you had some good music or a podcast or something to alleviate the tedium while you worked?

All being well, I'll see you there ;D Are you planning to do anything with the last week or so in the month, or simply bask in your success (which would be deserved)? xD

Thank you!

If I have time then I will go through and check all the credits are up to date on the actor websites. That may involve creating new credit pages. I really do need to make a new list of all the things I need to do. My current one is well out of date!

Congrats, that's an awesome thing to have finished!

Thanks! I am so pleased I have accomplished something!
