Thursday 28 January 1999
Found this greenish shirt near the bottom of the pile of dissed clothes in my bedroom. I seemed to remember that it looked less bad on cam than in reality. It got heavily dissed by the girls, despite being green. (In the higher resolution of Real Life, it has a slightly dizzying pattern instead of looking unicolored.) I sort of like it. It was quite cheap, too.
Actually, playing around with all my clothes is just a hobby, like a child collecting stamps or flowers. I don't judge people by how they're clothed (unless it's obvious that they want to say something with their clothes) ... in fact, I don't look much at how people dress and remember even less. And I very nearly pity the people who go around remembering what this or that person wore on that spesific day months or even years ago. (Yes, this kind of people exist and I have met some.) Really, folks, it's just decoration. We aime to please, that's it. And it's kind of helpful for us who don't look too great in the nude. (Body paint might help too. I have to try that sometime.)
Paid a load of bills today. I think I'm actually current with all my bills now, and still have a bit of cash for the next two weeks of pizza, chocolate cookies and low-fat milk. Prepaid bus card for the next month too. Of course, when the phone bill arrives, there will be gnashing and teeth and stuff, I guess.
My Daggerfall pages have started their migration over to the dvMUD
server. There will be a few changes: More unnecessary pictures,
though I WILL NOT stoop to background pictures or moving stuff.
The pages are still designed such that you can use them with pics
turned off, and on a slow connection you will have text to read
while the pics load. I know how it feels to wait for gratuitous
graphics!
Anyway, I'm waiting for some adress space resolution before I make
the total plunge and move it all out from my main site. Right now
the "new look" can be found
here.
Oh, and I tested my pages on GIF Wizard. Despite its name, this online service also checks JPG pics and links. It compares how fast your site loads with how fast it could have been. I am somewhat proud to declare that my new site was clocked at 100% - it could not have been faster, or so the GIF Wizard says. My homepage was put at 98%, not bad either. Of course it did not check for drivel.
