I wanted to do a comic about the Lost Season 4 finale, but I actually had to see it first. So the comic will be up later tonight.

UPDATE: 

Here it is: http://hijinksensue.com/2008/05/30/in-the-event-of-a-water-landing/

…where HijiNKS Ensue readers could get together and discuss their favorite movies, tv shows, internets and video games… if only.

Wait, what?! There is?!

Ok, enough pretense. Theres a Fancy Bastard Forum now. It’s been up in secret for a few days while a smallish group of FB’s helped me work out some of the major bugs, and FB Bill will be helping out as a moderator. There are also a few more FB’s that have offered to moderate should the need for more mods arrise. It’s built on Vanilla, which is a light weight and easy platform with lot’s of available functionality through add-ons and extenstions.

The forum is still basically in beta, if you will, so use the approriate threads to let me know if there are bugs that need to be resolved or features that you would like to see implimented.

Head over and sign up. You can read some of the great discussions already posted while you wait for your account to be approved. Please read the basic rules (don’t be a jerk, don’t start fights, etc), and have fun.

One of the  things I enjoy most about making HijiNKS Ensue is the community that has grown around the comic. You don’t typically see a group like the Fancy Bastards attach themselves to comics that have been around for 5 years, much less 1. You guys are witty and creative and add to the enjoyment of each comic with your comments and discussions. You are geeks among men, and you deserve a place to call your own. The FBF is my gift to you. Please use it wisely and respectfully.

All shirts ordered from April 22nd to May 9th are out the door.

The “Holodeck is for Porn” shirts look awesome.

I need your help on a couple of issues:

1) I ordered a Ladies 2XL Baby Doll “Godspeed You Fancy Bastard” shirt and have it in my posession. I can’t find an order, email, or Paypal payment that goes with it. If this is yours, please let me know because somehow I have lost your order. If no one claims it and you want it, place an order and I will ship it right away.

2) Anyone have any idea why my LJ Syndication Feed is borked?
FB, Serenity Valley alerted me to the issue.  It either says “Too Big” or “Parse Error” as the reason for its borkedness.

I didn’t create this feed and I have no access to make changes to it. The XML link goes to the right feed, so I have no idea what to do.

3) Just a heads up, but I noticed HE Podcast #3 had less than half of the downloads of #2 and #4, so I check it out and the MP3 was named weird. I bet this jacked with iTunes or something, so I fixed it. If you want to give it a listen the working link should be here.

Post your questions for the next podcast.

Also, if you listened to Podcast #14, you know that there is a “90’s Alternative Rock” challenge thing that we are doing.

How to participate:

1) Listen to Podcast #14

2) Post on this thread your favorite 90’s alternative rock songs or bands

3) I will see if I know how to play them live on the podcast

4) if I don’t know the song, I will not be looking it up, or learning it ahead of time. This is about what I remember from 15 years of playing guitar.

Wadmaasi has already started the challenge with:

“Play me some Pumpkins or some Bush or get the fuck out! And make it electric.”

Oh, the Pumpkins and Bush I will play. You have no idea. I might just play all of “16 Stone” from beginning to end.

I’ve gotten some Podcast questions in email, and I going to add them to this thread so I don’t forget to answer them.

“The Cost of Doing Business”

Part of my Video Blog where I record the trials and tribulations of trying to make a living from my webcomic. The end goal is to create a road map for creative people to earn an honest living from their creativity.
