Lately I haven't actually had 8 hours of work to do at work on any given day, but in true American spirit, I still have to be here...since it's more important you're at work than whether or not you're actually being productive. rolleyes.gif

So I've started working on Wikipedia entries for OTR's albums, since there doesn't seem to be any links there beyond the main bio page. And hell, there's even entries for unreleased albums, so there might as well be basic entries for OTR's albums. Eventually I'd like to expand the pages and incorporate comments by K&L from interviews about individual songs or the album artwork and whatnot, but that's a ways off, I suppose. Anyways, the only one that's up so far is the DP one, but depending how much downtime I have at work, the rest will follow in the next couple weeks (I hope).

Alright, well, I've set up pages for all the OTR albums except for the last couple of things, I'll get to those later in the week. I'm still learning the system so I'm sure they could look better, but they're there. I've also added a few items to 'disambiguation' pages for things like "Ohio," "Eve" and "Patience" which share their titles with other wiki entries.

Eventually after that I'd like to rewrite (or at least add to) the bio on the main OTR page, since it's annoyingly brief given the band's almost 20 year history. It kind of jumps from mentioning 'Till We Have Faces to Ohio in one sentence. I'd also like to add a page there detailing all of the OTR touring lineups and members over the years, just to be a convenient reference.

Obviously some of this stuff is under the albums section on OTR's official site, but since Wikipedia seems to becoming more and more a default go-to point for looking up random pieces of information, it can't hurt to have detailed information there.

Can you tell how bored I am at work yet?
