Going through some changed links. It’s a cool OmniWeb feature if you only have a few bookmarks, but if you accidentally hit Check All Bookmarks when you had imported all your bookmarks since 1993, you’re likely to get bunchfuls of bad and updated links. I’ve been trimming for weeks, and I am now down to 120 or so, which may include some automatically checked links, a very nice feature. My big remaining quibble with OmniWeb is selection behavior (why can’t I select whole blocks of TABLEd text? When that happens, and I can print selections, I will give it my wholehearted recommendation. Have I mentioned that I bought OmniWeb?)—I don’t count stylesheets/ECMAscript compliance because they’ve been making steady progress, and if that is all you rely on to make your website cool, well, screw you.
I’d forgotten that Dan Hood worked for some publication catering to WTC. He’s out of work and his publisher has not optioned his next Liam Rhenford book, which pisses me off mightily.
Greg Costikyan apparently lives near the site, in Battery Park, but he’s alright. The dead link that showed up was just a move to a new server after an archival loss, recovered by webarchive. Whew! I still have his article on game as artistic medium in paper, the Interactive Fantasy issue. He has a new wireless game company, Unplugged Games. Must investigate.
Freeverse Software seems to have a new graphical MUD game——called Arcane Arena. Downloading it as I type.
Hm. Haven’t played Terminus in a while. I never really got into it because it never accepted my USB keyboard keystrokes. Never even installed it on my TiBook.
Forgot about Great Books Webring. Did I ever go through these?
Hm, Geraldine R Dodge. The Poetry Festival should be this fall, shouldn’t it?
I really ought to renew my ACM and IEEE professional memberships, at least if I want access to those e-libraries.
