Why I’m retro (and not in a good way)

1.I still play on text-based games (muds, mux, etc.). Most of the gaming world has moved onto MMORPGs.

2. My cellphone is the one they sell to senior citizens. Big digit buttons, no keyboard for texting. I don’t text. I don’t surf. I don’t even download ringtones. In fact, I don’t even keep my cellphone on. I just turn it on to call out.

3. Until my new computer this week, I didn’t have the capacity to play DVDs on my computer.

4. Until this week, I was using html frames instead of CSS for my website.

5. I would rather play D&D 3.5 than move to 4.0. Partly because I don’t like 4.0 and partly because I just don’t want to bother to learn a new system.

She was very radical, well-known, and well-respected. Yes, being radical is in my genetic code. Here is the text of the note my mother sent me with the pictures:

The occasion of the photographs was a trip Aaron Henry made to NYC to seek support for the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party’s admission to the 1964 Democratic National Convention as the legitimate representatives of Mississippi Democrats. I believe at the time he was Chairman of the party.

Same as it ever was – Adventures Updating Voxygen

I have been neck deep in Dreamweaver and learning CSS. Well, not really learning as much as hacking the template I found. I have something of a template put together. I’m not done with it and I think Willow probably needs to take a look at it to straighten some of it out. One thing that really helped me was installing this great Foxfire plug-in called Firebug, which lets you examine the source code of a website with greater ease and detail than the generic “view page source” button. I’m rather proud of what I’ve accomplished so far, though. I’m having some trepidation about converting the style sheet to fit blogger, though.

I have decided to buy Willow her own domain so that she can use that instead of using a subdomain of Voxygen. I didn’t know I could do that, but apparently I can! I get to have [...]
