Lil have you been to my Aquarium yet? I will have pictures in it before next week.

Superdreamer, you're perilously close to spamming the site! You're going to have people yelling at you next. I have been and looked at your site, and it's actually your home page. First you need to make the Aquarium a separate entry. As it's not a Guide entry but rather a "gathering place" you don't need to submit it for approval.

Seriously now, if you just drop into the middle of a thread without a care for what the other people are talking about, and interrupt them with an announcement, it's a bit rude. So have a care.

We've just been talking about these issues, Superdreamer: check out http://www.h2g2.com/A351866 and read the discussion. Note particularly what we said about TIMELORD.

I simulposted on the last thread with your announcement of a new thread, Lil. Here is what I said:

Well, Sporky, I like your idea of using the blue background in
alabastard, but like GB says, some stuff becomes unreadable. I
think I will stick with Goo and put up one of Redbeards signs.

*Ampton comes in, looking dejected, and plops down in a chair. GL
pulls his chair over beside Ampton.*

Don't worry Ampton, Affy will be able to fix it. At least it's better than
what happened when I tried to fix it.

*Ampton looks at GL and rolls his eyes.*

Sorry.
*hangs head in shame*
I didn't submit it as an entry, that happened when they re-opened the site the other day.

That's OK Superdreamer -- if you do it here at least you can count on a polite reading of the Riot Act. Some places the researchers are pretty flame-happy!

Garius, you didn't make Ampton transparent, did you? He looks a bit translucent in places. *Ampton stares at floor*

By the way, were you aware of the sunspot activity over the past few days?

I may not respond right away; I'm going to edit the Atelier page. I have a picture of Mindspring!

Just checked that continuity thing. Wow, Lil... I had no idea I was in the presence of so august a personage. Just one question... isn't "Venerable" just a nice way of saying "ancient?"

Thass OK, GB, I'm attaining the age where 'venerable' sounds lots better than 'late middle' or 'Cretacious'.

This is the web, Lil, where everyone is young, gorgeous, witty, and perpetually drunk.

OK, the front page for the Atelier is more or less updated. The sign at the top is too big, but the SIZE="xx%" doesn't work in the statement, so I shall have to tweak and reload the image itself.

Apart from that, any comments?

The Mindspring picture took its time in loading... but then, I suppose that's only natural...

A rather flash sign you've now got there with "Atelier" carved out of the background rock and metalised. It doesn't look too bad in the new skin either, but of course you can tell by the colours used for picture backgrounds that it's meant for the goo.

I have tried to maintain a silent protest about the changes, but I had to post at some point today. I'm addicted, I'll admit it, there I feel better already

Mindspring took time to load? I thought I interlaced her. Well, I'll go check. Your poit is not lost on me, however.

I was going to put in one of Redbeard's pro-goo logos, but forgot to grab the image. Next pass. I still have to update the mugs page which is very ugly right now, with oversize pics.

What's happening on the weekend then? Are youse guys going away, or do you expect to be around site?

Well. I'll be here on Sunday, skipping work as usual (although last Sunday I was a good boy and worked all day.) The Atellier page looks fine to me Lil, except for the size of the sign, which makes the text beside it look squished. BTW, it might be a good idea if you put a link to the mug page near the beginning of each cafe forum, because I don't have a link to it anywhere. I assume it is an article on your own page - I'll look there (I want to see shelf 3!)

I'll probably be around at some point or other, inbetween the usual weekend chores - visit the computer fair, go record shopping that sort of thing

I've no plans for weekends this month, but July is looking like I'm going to be getting away for a few weekends. This planning lark isn't realy my style though

Foo, that sign is jinxed!!
Photoslop just destroyed the GIF by truncating the header info somehow, and Painter illegal op'd the JPG version a moment ago, thereby turning into a small white space. There will be a red X on that space till I rebuild the sign. Maybe I'll make it completely different.

Lil - just looked at the mug shots - no shelf 3! I was sure you said shelf 3 was up. Oh well, at least now I know where to find it

I also checked out that Zen site that you have linked on your page. What a cool site! I loved the fly flying up the monk's nose and out his ear. LOL at that one.
