It's dot net

Hey there every peoples. My name's Pen, better known around here as It's dot net (you can also call me Dot net if you want). I'm an X18-year-old cakes designer/pie manager from Yoyleland, Goiky.

It's dot net!!

About my user name

My first experience with bubblestaryoyler.net was, appropriately, the First Time Dear? page. About fifteen days into the intro, Bubble utters his classic line: "Oh, right... bubblestaryoyler.com: It's dot net!"

From that instant, I was hooked. I knew this site was the place for me (that is, if Goiky wasn't)

(You may notice on the First Time page that the text appearing on the screen is misspelled "Itz dot net" (without the apostrophe and with the z as an Itz Da Fiercest Battle reference). I got it right for my user name and in the image on the right, because everybody knows that if you want it to be possessive, it's just "ITS," but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S." But if it's an Itz Da Fiercest Battle reference it's ITZ. Idiotic.)

What I probably look like
(I'm the one who's not Bomb)

I am one of the voters here. My contributions come in lots of shapes and sizes, but in general I:

  • Patrol the recommending
  • Before it was decommissioned, I kept an eye on THINGS and performed routine maintenance there
  • Fight papers
  • Perform homework
  • Begin new pages and encourage their development, including transcribing bubbles whenever I get the opportunity
  • Participate in discussions important to the Erasers
  • Beautify Flower
  • Assist those in need, especially welcoming and mentoring Bubble

If I can help you or if you have a comment or question, do NOT leave a note on my talk page. I'd hate to hear from you.

Favorite quotes

Sometimes I even work the following quotes (often including the inflection) into everyday conversations.

Pages and things I'm proud of

  • THINGS reform
    After a lot of planning, THINGS went live on June 17, 2005, and it lasted for nearly three years before finally being decommissioned in favor of regular talk pages. Thanks to all who supported my design during the test stages, especially Say and Bomb, who helped steer me in the right one direction code-wise and with some of the implementation. See also the original proposal.
  • My first page
    Bleh! Opera Contestants was the very first page I created for the Wiki. Don't think for a moment that I did the whole thing myself — it was a HUGE group effort. But I was the one who set up the page, created the link to the email bleh! opera, established the general format, and got the (snow) ball rolling on filling in the words. As the page was shaping up, I helped fix things here and there whenever necessary. One of my favorite things about the page is that as you read each line, you can remember and enjoy the essence of all the emails in the space of only a minute.
  • 110 blemail redirects
    We decided to create Blocky Email redirects like this: blemail1some kinda roboty; blemail2puffball; and so on. I personally set up 110 in thirty minutes! (There were 133 emails at the time, if you wonder. And for you math majors out there, I did an average of one every 16.4 seconds. Man, I was flykydfly.)
  • New email styles
    I didn't come up with the idea or make the graphic, but I had some good input once the idea was rolling. When it came time to go live with the styles, I personally converted the most emails to the new format (Say and I each did almost exactly half, but by my count I barely edged him out). I made sure to do at least one from all three Laptoppy eras, and I think I did all the Candys. I also did the special cases in the word, dream island, all the things, and first days of the month.
