I've followed a few links and ended up over there, and it seems that everyone is hanging around there now. It's like in jr. high when everyone in your group decides to meet under a tree at recess instead of by the fence where you ALWAYS used to meet...and you were the last to find out about it.

*shrug* I've never really understood the appeal of siphoning traffic to a vanity site. It's like people who watch spinoffs.[ October 08, 2003, 09:16 AM: Message edited by: TomDavidson ]

I prefer Frasier to Cheers. Spinoffs aren't always bad.

Because they ARE "vanity sites," like vanity plates for the web.

Really? The choice of words sounded disparaging to me. The word "vanity" just carries a pejorative tone, to my ear.

so - did you model the ACDC paper off of the Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics, and if so, did you know about that page before I mentioned it here?!?

Say, Mike, there seems to be something wrong with the game digest on your site. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

I'll go ahead and put in a service request, but you should probably know that it can take a couple of days for the tech support people to get around to reading their mail.

Narnia, we were hanging around that tree for days, waiting for you! I remember Noemon saying "Where's Narnia?" and I told him "She'll be here any minute". But you never showed up!

Down at the bottom of all of my pages I like to put a little notice detailing how to contact me and when I last revised the page. You'll notice that that line on the AC/DC pages reads "11/30/00."

Ah, it turns out that some of the image files had capitalized extensions, which windows will ignore but unix will not. Anyway, it's fixed.
