I'll be your friend...



Ermmm...

I'm Et, Eccentrica's li'l sis and Electrica's bigga one, And i have one question - how the hell do you say your screen name?!

(sometimes I bark)

Hiya!

Look at it carefully:
(V) = M
@ = A
I\I = N
ï = I
@ = A
© = C

What does that spell? Maniac! That's me!
I went to your page. It's really zany! How did you get the pics on there? Is there an FTP service for "my home"??

Love your entries... will try and write some replies/questions to them soon...

Usually people can't pronounce my surname either. It's See-Oh-Pan-Ee (Basically the 'T' is silent)

Okay!! Hi! You can call me Et. Or Lisa.

I haven't got much time right now, so I'll explain pictures tomorrow, promise.

I'll have another look at your page too - I've forgotten what it looks like.. I might say what i think in a minute if i have time.. (limited internet time cuts down on phone bills.)

okay.. see ya!

Et

okay.. pictures: (i don't have time but i'll tell you anyway)

1. go along to andyart or animfactory (www.*.com)
2. choose a free pic (make sure it's free)
3. right click on it and then click on copy location
4. go back to your page and type this:



This is what I do; and i've got Netscape as a browser.. if you've of that other one... I forget what it's called.. i'll see if it's the same way..

Et

Yep, it's the same way.


Hi by the way, I like the name, really manic.

okay, that's good - i thought maybe i was doing something wrong anyway.

Hooooooold on there, juuuust a minute. If he designs web pages, wouldn't he know how to put pictures on?!


*X-Files theme tune*


weiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird...







BOO!!
Et

Hey...

Yes "he" (me) does design web pages. It just didn't occur to "he" to provide a link in the IMG SRC tab to a pic on another page, because I am used to uploading all my pics with FTP

Thanx for the reminder though!
I would call you "Et" but I remember your 2 sisters handles have Et in and it would get all very confusing! So I think I'll stick to Lisa.
What part of England you from?

You seem to answer my postings very quickly, you must spend AGES online

Do you have an ICQ # ?

What music/films/and every other thing entertaining on the planet do you like?

( I have to go back to school in a week or so Mind you, we get 3 months her instead of the standard 6-8weeks in "Ingerland"
Get my exam results in a month too! (Feck)

Well... gotta go!

Adam Tsiopani,
(V)@I\Iï@©

ICQ.. nope .. not that i know of.. what is it? will someone tell me?

three months, eh? i get 6 weeks. *sigh* you get dammit twice as long as me!! that's so unfair!!

music i like (this will be an endless list if i ever complete it):

steps corrs bwitched catatonia manics travis britney abba a1 madonna savagegarden shaniatwain robbiewilliams vengaboys(i can't remember the rest right now. I'll come back to you on that..)

films i like: I don't know. I don't watch lots of films .. i most of the time wait till they come out on video or end up on tv.. i can never be bothered with the cinema. last time i went i saw "antz" which i admit, i was disappointed with. bug's life is out tomorrow on video.. i'll get that cos it looks good..

do i talk too much?


i live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.. i think they call it the west midlands. yep.

so what kind of thing are you into then? (music is MY life..)

what's FTP? (I'm so naive with abbreviations...)

Et/Lisa

Lisa --

ICQ: great program that will tell you when the friends in your "contact list" are online at the same time as you, allowing you to chat with them through the program then as well. Download from www.icq.com (icq99a.exe) and I'll give you my ICQ #.

Three months holiday is great. I think it is so long because there are a lot of farmers here who have to help during that season. If you add up all the weeks holiday through the year we only get about a week more though

I am a muzik FREAK! (can't even do homework without it blasting top volume from I/R headphones out of your list I like...
well all of them except travis britney and vengaboys. My favourite is REM though. Have 11 of their albums (5 of which I copied with my CD-R albeit) Went to their concert in July it was unreal. I also like Alanis Morisette's first album, Radiohead's OK Computer, The Beautiful South, The Lighthouse Family, Ocean Colour Scene, and loads more I can't think of right now!

I'm afraid I'm a film freak too. Best film of the year : The Matrix
Best British Film ever: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (You probably won't like that one but the matrix is fab)

No you don't talk too much!

Gloucester? Cool. I used to live in Bristol just South of there. I have a good friend in Wotton - U - Edge in Glous.

FTP is "File Transfer Protocol" Used to upload files onto the web for homepages, etc.

Gotta go put the dogs away!!
BTW how old r u?

Hi...

So... who are you? (Pastey)
Do you really like the name maniac - the way it's written I mean

Major Panic--

All of my User pages (about 10) have disappeared from my homepage in H2G2? Why? Can they be retrieved or do I have to retype them all?

Adam Tsiopani,
(V)@I\Iï@©

They've all come back again

Lisa -- where r u? Haven't heard from you in AGES!

Yeah I do, it show a bit of initiative and creative thought.

So who am I? A bit hard to explain, I'm a bit of a dual entity with the missus, she's an archaeologist and I do a bit of web design. I spent about sixish years working as a cellar man though so I ended up with a dry sense of humour.

Sorry I haven't been here. I've been having conversations with my new mate Colin.

icq sounds a lot like http://www.h2g2.com/users.cgi. I went to the icq site some time ago but was afraid to download anything as last time i downloaded something from the internet I crashed the computer. Virus or something.

I haven't seen any films for ages.. last one I saw was Antz which was dreadful.

I don't like travis that much but I liked the last two songs kinda a bit.

Lisa

Pastey ---

You do web design? Cool! I've done 2 pages, you should look them up and let me know what you think. Go to http://cattlemans.home-page.org and http://rossdohan.home-page.org

Trying to make a small business of it here. Have only had the one customer so far (the cattlemans site was for our own business) but have a customer waiting to give me some details and get a quotation. What sites have you done? I suppose they are very professional. I think my cattlemans one is good, but the Rossdohan one (my 1st customer) concentrates on download speeds and simplicity in design so some people don't like it very much. The client was happy with it though, so who cares?

Perhaps you could give me your email address?

Ermmmm... what are the ASCII characters for that fish and what does it mean?

The screen name kind of took a while to get right, but I've had several comments on it's "coolness" and of course plenty of people asking me if I'm out of my head -- what the hell does my screename mean Glad you like it anyways.

Sorry I took so long getting back, I'm afraid I've been drunk.
Had a look at those sites, there not bad, I have to admit though that I prefer the second one (the one with the canoe logo) it's a more crisp site, a bit cleaner to look at.
Here's two I've done, http://www.howland.co.uk and http://www.stevedunks.demon.co.uk/iceni/
Like you said with one of yours, I prefer the one I had a bit more control over, the brewery one. The one for Howlands was done to order with the specific site in mind first, only not in my mind. It's still being improved though. In fact I've got a meeting with the guy on wednesday afternoon and on wednesday morning I've got a meeting with someone else to quote for their site. Fortunatly this new one will be one that I'll have complete control over.
I'll email you my address.

I forgot, about the fish...
