BP LMRP Liveblog Mothership: Day Seven
Welcome, everyone, to the ongoing vigil of BP's Gulf of Mexico disaster.
The current ROV DIARY is here.
Rules of the Road
- Let's keep this a meta diary. To volunteer to host a submersible leave a comment here.
- For commenting on the LMRP attempt or anything else having to do with the Oilpocalypse, please go to the current ROV DIARY: here.
- Please rec this mothership diary, not the ROVs
- Please be kind to fellow kossacks who may have limited bandwidth and refrain from posting images or videos.
To repeat: please refrain from commenting in this mothership diary, unless you're volunteering for a submersible shift.
Kossak Sillia gives a concise explanation of the mothership and liveblog:
This diary, that is, the mothership, forms the hub from which you can reach the other diaries. Or, think of it as a table of contents in the front page of a book. You use this diary to find a link to the latest discussions. You can also find links here to past discussions (previous diaries) if you wanted to read them.
A 'child diary' is where the discussion is--once one of these gets so long that its size is cumbersome, they start a new one. So if you wanted to join in to the most current discussion, you'd click the most recent link. But they leave the links there so that people can still go back and read the older ones if they wish.
The reason for this setup is that it prevents the recommended list from being filled up with many diaries on the same topic. Instead just the mothership will appear on the rec list where everybody can find it, which they can use to navigate to the latest discussion. (That's why we are asked to "rec" the mothership but not the other diaries, just reduces confusion.)
I hope this is sort of what you were wanting to know...
