It's been a wonderful weird little thing so far, with folks having a mix of nostalgia for and first exposure to shell account stuff, playing around with oldschool webbery, hacking little things together across user accounts, and just generally being great people in a nice place.

I got inspired yesterday and wrote us up our own custom low-rent version of Flappy Bird:

"There is no need to get in on the ground floor, because the ground floor has been there for decades."

I (still)edit the smaller pages on my personal site from an ssh session using nano. The big productions get done in markdown with a couple of bash scripts on the laptop.

All good fun, and nice to see how little bandwidth/processor resources a bunch of static pages can live in. I don't think I'll go on the wait list as I have a perfectly good slice of web server already but I hope this gets popular.

I actually had, and remember, and certainly ordered from, that exact CCS catalog. What a weird memory you just brought back.

Your girlfriend's main page is quite nice.

The frames link, though, reawakened fear I'd not felt in years.

Haven't been to yours, so that her hit counter has a chance to catch up. ;-)

/me also misses IRC from the times where you could type --all lines aligned (to the left, however unbelievable that sounds) regardless of the length of the users name. Today I have to pay attention not to write (b) or (c) because it might turn into a beer or coffee. We often forget to appreciate the simplicity of things.

You, sir or ma'am, are a gentleman and a scholar. I literally just created this account to thank you.

PS if you know how to make a link target a frame in a nested frameset, please let me know. It must go deeper.

That managed to completely lock up Firefox for me. Nicely done! Think it was a combination of the scrolling page title and right-click handler that did it. Or it was fighting Pentadactyl.
