Scribometer

Scribometer

Okay, I lied. I’m back.

Here’s a widget for all your screenplay progress needs. Look familiar? Dave Anaxagoras, the author of the now defunct screenwriting blog Man Bytes Hollywood and the current Screenwriting Manifesto developed it by hard coding it into his blog many years ago. It caught on in a big way. So now he’s gone legit and made an official widget that you can download here. Note: This is currently only for WordPress.

It’s great to make you feel guilty when there’s no progress in your progress bar.

Scrippets Available

Posted in Blogging, Geek, Screenwriting, WordPress on September 9th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

This is a test of John August’s newly designed screenplay format plug-in for WordPress, Scrippets. It converts your post text into a industry standard screenplay format. If you have a WordPress blog you should try it out and do some testing yourself.

FADE IN:

INT. APARTMENT – DAY

A MAN sits at his computer overlooking the Hudson River.

MAN

When will I get around to writing today?

A CAT meows. The meows suddenly transform into words.

CAT

Really man. Let’s finish the script already.

The man just stares at the cat.

MAN

Why don’t you write it?

CAT

I will.

MAN

Well...go ahead.

CAT

I will.

MAN

What’s stopping you?

CAT

I don’t have hands you fucking idiot!

The man drops his head in defeat and starts typing.

CAT

(to self)

Works every time.

FADE TO BLACK.

WordPress 2.5 Up And Running

Posted in WordPress on March 29th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

wordpressI just upgraded to the new version and things might be running a little out of wack for a while especially with some of the plugins not upgraded for 2.5. Not all of them are 2.5 compliant like the Print This Post plugin for example.

I’m pretty impressed with this upgrade and I know a lot of work went into it to make it load faster with a lot of other built in enhancements. Thanks to the WordPress team and all the developers for creating an excellent publishing platform.

Feel free to contact me if something isn’t working correctly.

This is a big one so read up before installing or maybe just do the prudent thing and wait a week or two. The hell with that, install now.

Heavy Lifting

Posted in Blogging, WordPress on June 14th, 2007 by William Speruzzi

I just moved all the old posts from the Blogger version of [This Savage Art]. It’s something I hesitated doing for a long time because well, think of the chaos that could result in importing over 300 posts and comments to a totally different web publishing platform but it is done! So if you take a look at the Archives you will see that everything goes back to May 2005. You can read all those early posts [uhhhh.]

The older posts may look a little messy because of Blogger’s coding conflict with WordPress and various plugins. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to tagging and cleaning up each individual post but I’ll do a little when I can. Hope ya like.
