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: http://www.tilde.club/~cortex/js/tildebird/

It's called Helicopter :-(

I'm going to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my tildeclub page: http://tilde.club/~rich edit: Please also go to my girlfriend's page! She's jealous of my hit counter: http://tilde.club/~arch
Also, your girlfriend seems to be winning now :). Those ASCII-art birds are beautiful.

In Japan a ー is used to extend a sound. Characters like ne or yo are used to casually finish sentences and it gives them a hightened sense of friendliness to extend them with 〜 instead of ー. It also can be used to make effeminate or suggestive sounds like あーん would be ahhn like sticking out your tongue to check your throat but あ〜ん is ahnn but in a seductive/sexy way
Please correct me if I’m wrong (still learning Japanese), but isn’t「ー」only used to extend sounds written in katakana? In the case of the「あーん」that you wrote, I would think that it would be written as「ああん」instead since that’s the way sounds are extended in hiragana. I agree with your usage of「あ〜ん」though.
Although, yes, formally the ー mostly appears in katakana and after a vowel, there's a lot of informal ways to use it. eg. んー？ - the sound of someone thinking or っー an extended pause (perhaps in surprise - something happened mid sentence to cut someone off suddenly and make their jaw drop).
eg. just coincidentally, my friend posted this on instagram as I was typing this response.

mmmm, deep thoughts...

And much less interesting than Minecraft.
I'm not sure. Some of the most informative pages were available under Tripod, written by people into obscure subjects. They were typically ugly (the pages, not the people), but were informative. They were a source of more interesting information than today's social network's "here's a picture of me eating something". You could actually learn something from reading the pages instead of just observing someone else's be…
Massively off-topic – but in American English is "a couple drinks" correct? British English would be "a couple of drinks". Just curious – I notice this a lot of US tech blogs.

I haven't dealt with framesets for almost 20 years (I'm still scarred), but I seem to recall that you can target nested frames just by providing them with a unique "name" attribute. I may be wrong though. You may also want to change the doctype header to use the HTML 4 "frameset.dtd" instead of the "strict.dtd". Just change the first line of your frame-enabled pages to: " rel="nofollow">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/fra…
But what I'm after is recursion. Rather than make 20 individual frameset pages each with different target="name"s, it would be way cooler simply to populate each frame area with itself. Pedantic props for the doctype tip. EDIT: In theory this should work, but browsers are uncooperative: http://tilde.club/~arch/frames-odd.html
"Infinite recursion is prevented. Any frame that attempts to assign as its SRC a URL used by any of its ancestors is treated as if it has no SRC URL at all (basically a blank frame). This doesn't prevent all malicious documents, but it eliminates a troublesome class of them."
Ah well, probably for the best really... It seems to have a recursion limit of 10 on Firefox, and 12 on Chrome.
I cheated by creating your original frameset pattern and then just recursing index.html in the middle frame. It improves the recursion effect a bit, but still isn't infinite.
/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.
