misspelling

feeds@yuku.com (zero sum mgame) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:14:36 GMT

One of the cycling quotes on the front page is spelled incorrectly. This wouldn't be a big deal, but it kills the palindrome.

Go hang a salami, I'm a lasanga hog.

What New Features Would You Like To See?

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:28:26 GMT

As part of my lon-term goal of making myself more employable, I am learning or refreshing myself on various languages and technologies, many of which are (not coincidentally) employed for active (or at least flashy-looking) content on web pages. I always seem to learn better when I've got a cool idea or project to work on, so I wanted to see if anyone had anything along those lines they'd like to see my website include.

Just so people know what's already in the pipeline,...

Just noticed an out-of-date paragraph on the GURPS IST page

feeds@yuku.com (robkelk) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:19:57 GMT

http://www.eclipse.net/~rms/istworld.shtml

The very last paragraph currently reads, "Rumors of an electronic second edition of I.S.T. are just that -- rumors. For the moment."

There is an electronic version now, at http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG30-6506

Just thought you might want to mention the e23 edition, and possibly get a few more coins from SJGames...

New Pages

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:54:56 GMT

In addition to updating the top page for the first time since last August, I have added pages for Skyefire's A Message In A Bottle and for my recent I Dream of Djinni.

Broken Link

feeds@yuku.com (Jorlem) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:39:49 GMT

On the main page for Drunkard's Walk, the link to Rob Kelk's list of fanfics is broken. I messed around with the url a bit, and found that it is "http://robkelk.ottawa-anime.org/links.shtml" when it should be "http://robkelk.ottawa-anime.org/links.html". There is an 's' where there shouldn't be. I thought I should mention it.

RSS Feed

feeds@yuku.com (Jorlem) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 01:06:12 GMT

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I was wondering if you were planing on putting an RSS feed into your website. Personally, I've found myself using my RSS reader more than my bookmark bar, simply because its easier to use the reader then to click individually on each bookmark I have, to see if there is something new on a website. Thank you

A couple of things in the DWII webpages

feeds@yuku.com (robkelk) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:10:44 GMT

I just noticed that the entirety of chapter 2 of DWII is in preformatted text tags (

and

), no doubt a leftover from when the story text really was "preformatted" 80-column monospaced text. This causes the chapter to display... oddly... in some browsers.

And the concordance for DWII chapter 1 still says that GURPS IST is out-of-print. It's now available on e23. You might be losing a few pennies in possible royalty...

Website Qoutes

feeds@yuku.com (Kurisu) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:22:14 GMT

To the venerable author,

I have to seriously thank you for the random quotes/proverbs/llyrics that appear on your Title Page. Some of those have come up in conversations when (evil laugh) opportunity presented themselves. I'll even admit I used a one on my Honorable Father.

His reply? "Son, just when I thought you caught some wisdom, You had to take my head off with something like that." as he laughs to himself. (it was the flamethrower one.)

Sllllloooooooowwwwwww.......

feeds@yuku.com (Star Ranger4) — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:16:44 GMT

Its wierd... as of the last two weeks or so Aceess Denied has become the slowest loading page I've run across.

You didn't tweak anything did you Bob? At the moment I'm assuming that its something in the most recent update of Firefox that's misbehaving, since this happened after the relaunch and therefore shouldnt be anything added or taken away THEN....

Update

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:59:59 GMT

I don't know if any of the regulars here will actually be interested, but just in case, the PIC Songbook has been updated with some material that's been sitting forgotten in the queue for over four years.

New Website Design Goes Live!

Thank you, everyone who offered suggestions, help and/or advice as I struggled through the redesign!

New Website Update

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:52:25 GMT

Just to let folks know... whether I can get the 404 thing to work or not (I haven't had the time at home or work to call NetCarrier tech support or look up more capable ftp programs yet), I'm planning on taking the new website live come Saturday. If you've been meaning to poke around the beta version and find something you can embarrass me with after release, this is your last chance.

Test Version Of New Website Design

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:54:13 GMT

A complete copy of the newly-redesigned website is now available for browsing at http://www.eclipse.net/~rms/test -- I would greatly appreciate it if people could take the time to click around in it and let me know in this thread if anything breaks.

Thank you!

Late news from the Rialto

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:51:12 GMT

I have completed the first pass of converting my website to the new page design/menu system/css/dhtml/etc. I've got to do some global search-and-replace on some things that run throughout the whole site, but it's almost ready for primetime. I'm hoping to set up a test installation either tonight or tomorrow that people can bang at while I'm on my vacation.

I hate to disappoint Xenoproctologist, though -- at the moment the DW chapters are still plaintext in an HTML...

CSS/HTML Help

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:51:00 GMT

Yeah, I'm still working on the prototype for the new website look. They're almost ready for prime-time, except I have two questions that I'm hoping someone here can answer.

The first is a CSS question: I want to set the link colors for a style -- specifically the style that does the white text for my copyright notice, so any embedded links in the notice don't do the blue/red thing on the dark green background. I've tried a bunch of things that I found in my...

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:30:55 GMT

Okay, all the fun with the Yuku skins and CSS and whatnot -- plus a new IDE to play in at work that includes website development -- has motivated me to try redesigning my website again.

So here's a prototype to look at: Dummy home page. It's all CSS and no tables (except for a webring widget at the bottom). It's got a few problems, as I'm still learning what the hell I'm doing -- for instance, I'd...

Updated DW FAQ

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Schroeck) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 14:03:16 GMT

The DW FAQ File has been updated to include a revised estimate on the completion of DW5, and a new question about the possible connection between Doug and the Marvel Comics character "DJ".

Bob, I've just noticed that the links to the forums from the main and DW pages still point to p087 instead of p202.

I noticed as I didn't get redirected just now.
