*looks confused*

Lil did most of it.

*runs after Lil and GL*

Wow!!!!!!

You two are amazing, Lil and Amy - true artists! Beautiful drawings. It's lured me away from work for way too long.

*shakes head in wonder*

Found a couple of minor glitches - Netscape 7.0 freezes when I click on the gingerbread cottage itself. Works fine in IE. Also, the estate agent links are broken.

This panto is going to be great. Unfortunately, I can't post as my character, since everyone would know it was me. I'll have to wait until there are lots of us online. Since I'll be away now until next Sunday, I hope there will be lots of people around then.

Humph. It works in Netscape 4.7 for Mac. I don't have Netscape 7 for anything.

GL, what do you mean by "the Estate Agent's links are broken"? Do you mean the links *to* those pages are broken or that the links *within* those pages don't work?

Everything appears to work for me on IE5 for Mac, Netscape 4.7 for Mac, Opera 5 for Mac and IE6 on Windows 98. You will need Quicktime 5 or above. The link for Quicktime 6 downloads is http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Yeah, what she said. We test-drove everything in each other's domain. Amy supplied me with template code for the forms, too, I should add. And she found problems about which I was totally unaware. If I had released my stuff without her vetting, I would have been terribly embarrassed.

The panto will probably get off to a very slow start, but that's OK. We just wanted to have it up in time to be a Christmas present.

The only difference between the first cottage page and the first lake page is that it is hosted on a server that gives me cheap space in return for advertising. Otherwise the code is identical. The host inserts javascript into each page over which I have no control. Perhaps that is where the problem lies.

*Takes the tour of the island.*

Can I just say... Wow! Lil and Amy, you are amazing! I was not expecting such an elaborate venue.

*comes in looking sheepish* I just went over and reviewed the whole island and discovered that I forgot to insert a page. You'll all have to take the trip again. Well, there always has to be a glitch! It would be hubris to attempt perfection...

*sits down with a cup of tea* Ahhhhhhh.

*wonders which goose laid the golden egg*

It was not an easy birth .

*rummages in the box with decorations, finds a [URL removed by Moderator] from the Christmas of 2000*

Hmmphh! That was a perfectly harmless illustration to Swedish handicraft straw decorations!

Well, I'm off - Merry Christmas everyone!

Have a lovely holiday .

Too late to wish T a happy Christmas, but I'm sure she will anyway!

Marvelous production, Lil and Amy! I've bought my ticket

And if your goose ain't cookin' then how about poping over to peer review and checking out Ormondroyd's article on Tom Lehrer (someone who has been mentioned more than once here in the atelier) at F48874?thread=230544&skip=0&show=20

The island is wonderful...

I have always admired people who able to create.

/* Enters a note in his Palm VII */


after vork explore island.


How do you make a "w" again?

*compares her Palm Vx to d'E's VII*

I wonder if it's too late to add to my Crimble list.

I don't recommend the Palm VII. It doesn't work. See? I wrote "after work explore island". The Palm got it all wrong. Now I've already explored the island and I'm very late for work.

The Mother of All Gooses is brilliant! Excellent work. Now I have to run.

*Looks at d'E's Palm VII.*

That's odd. I have no trouble with Ws on my Vx. It's the Vs that gave me fits until I learned that if you draw them from right to left they come out right every time.

*Goes back to find the inserted page in the panto program.*
