<== I'm not just a person, I'm also a character in a game. This is a picture of my character, who you might meet when the game is ready to play.

This is the page where I test out the new HTML stuff I learn. A lot of it is broken, or obsolete, or otherwise senseless, so don't expect too much.

If I figure it out, you maybe will see my doofy banner if you press this button (it takes you to a Java applet, but an annoying and pointless one):

This is a Phone List banner I'm testing:

(note: this is affectionately known as the "whop you upside the head" logo -- VERY appropriate to the style of the institution)
The texas counter quit working, so I went and found another one: source code and everything!
This should show the number of people, besides myself, who have visited here to waste there time, frivolously.
Number of Hits As Of On
I'm thinking of calling this the collection of * hats I have worn.
If I had any heroes (using the term loosely, to include anybody I like much), their pictures might appear if you:


I'm also trying to figure out how to make the WWW hot region thing work (apparently it has to do with an "imagemap"?) -- I'm just now getting a clue: (as I delve into the mysteries of the mythical "client side imagemap", which is vastly the best kind)
So far I have learned that "WebMap 2.0b9" produces two map file formats: NCSA and CERN, and neither seem to work here. Also, I HAVE got an imagemap to work with inline data, but the same test fails when the data is in another file. Is there filename convention I should know about?

Testing original map with inline data created from WebMap
HOME        INDEX         LEADERS        ARCHIVES       RULES

and I'd like to know how this Mountie got in here: *
Another mystery to me is how to make movies visible to browsers. I wonder if
    Press Here will work?
    Or, I wonder if you can see a movie
    by pressing a button (like George Jetson)


 This is a GIF of my beautiful wife produced by Photoshop after the PICT image was changed to "indexed color" (which reduces from millions to 256 colors) and saved. The image jumped to a much larger size (the original photo was a wallet size), because the scanner reads at 300 DPI (dots per inch), but the screen displays at only 72 DPI. I reduced the image to wallet size again and saved it that way.

And, doesn't ___THIS___ look good:

I sold this house in February of 1997, but hey, I worked hard on this page, so I'm keeping it around:
* Hey! I Sold My House!

This page is, guess what, under construction.
