No, MS Word. And I had forgotten how much i HATE Word's formatting procedures.
here's some IRC discussion
tl;dr summary: Producing these magazines will give people creative energy
Each issue by a different editor?
Themes for each issue
Compiling stuff .... fast > thorough
Payne damn you
CramPayne everytime you do something like this, even in a half assed attempt, I want to do something Content and Creative related
Cram nice
Cram That's the point
Payne -- as a group, when we see our work in print, it stimulates us to produce more work.
Cram There's a spark of energy that comes out of finishing a project - and I hope that stuff like this magazine sparks people into producing their own creative efforts
rwhn yeah me too, I'm taking some time off next week so maybe I can get something together.
Payne we should look at rotating editorships
Payne each issue by a different editor
Payne pieces chosen by him or her and what have you
Payne I'll work on compiling a bunch of good shit for issue two
Cram that's a good idea
vexati0n damn writer's block. i need to get laid by a thousand egyptian wenches or something.
bdsimpleton i should probably start being more pro-active and actually post on the boards
Cram one way we might do it is via del.icio.us tagging.
Cram like here's how that would work, using the GASM format as a template---
Cram you'd make a topic sayiing "I'm putting together an issue of Intermittens on the theme 'sacred chao'" (or whatever)
Cram "You go tag every post you can find that's relevant with the tag "Intermittens_Chao"
bdsimpleton and if two people tag the same thing?
bdsimpleton it just gets two tags?
Cram yeah
Cram then when you've got enough material, all you have to do is search for that tag, and you'll find all the relevant material
Cram That approach works best for projects bigger than PD -- if you're making stuff entirely out of stuff posted at PD, the thread x-post format is better.
bdsimpleton i dunno how del.icio.us works, sorry XD
Cram del.icio.us is very simple - you can learn how to use it in three minutes
Cram all it does is keep bookmarks that other people add. Lets you tag web pages, etc
Payne yeah
Cram It's really one of the best ways to link up with the other Discordian networks out there without having to interact with them on forums or myspace or Livejournal or whatever
Payne well, we'd be starting out with PD and POEE and other "local" disco sites anyway
Cram yeah
Payne until the del. idea got going
Payne so issue two should be relatively simple for me to get shit together for
Cram yeah
Cram all I did was go through the womp cabal bucket for graphics, and the Insightful Post Dump for text.
Cram The whole thing took like three hours
rwhn what about making specific content as well. Like someone says "We should have an article about [fill in the blank]" and someone says, "yeah I'm on it."
rwhn or are we really just compiling writings
Payne yeah, that's what I was thinking for rotating editorships
Payne each editor could "theme" his choices
Payne and make requests for specific topics
Cram Yeah
rwhn I think, eventually, we'd need some Q & A's. Like say Giggles interviewing Chef.
Cram I think that in a perfect world, an editor would make a proposition for a theme, and then people would start filling in the blanks... maybe take a week or two to produce an issue
Cram really I think the key is not to hesitate to output these things. Don't sit on it forever, don't worry about making it look so sexy it could sit on a magazine rack, just push it out and we'll distribute it.
Cram that's the problem with lollercaust - it got to be such a big deal, we never were able to PRODUCE it. It died on the table from being overtalked.
rwhn Cause I think if someone gave me an idea to write about, I could do that. I'm having a hard time just picking ideas out of the air lately.
Cram I hear ya
Telarus 
on teh magazine
Cram. Now I need to look past the cover.
Cram lol
Cram also, it's hard to use posts at PD in publications, because so few of them stand on their own, they're part of threads.
Cram Now if there was a way to publish threads as a magazine article, we'd be SET
vexati0n and there are ways to publish threads as articles, you just have to not use a BBS.
Telarus yah, threads need to be edited into a narrative for magazine type publication
Cram THAT might just be a matter of finding a visually appealing way to set them up... like taking the relevant parts of hte post and putting them in a word bubble coming out of a WOMP head
Cram like this sorta:
