You browser does not support frames. You probably know this
already. I sympathise with you. Microsoft Internet Explorer
and Netscape are both bug-ridden crap. You're being much
smarter by using lynx or emacs or some other cool broswer.
<p>
But I'm a victim of peer pressure. My firends were making
fun of my web page. Not just my web designer girlfriend,
but my buddies with butt-ugly geocities pages too. So I
borrowed a book by David Siegel (gag, puke) on something
silly he calls "third generation web design" and began to
re-work my site to conform to the latest trends.
<p>
The latest trends are to use the internet, once the domain
of the exchange of ideas and software as a sort of an
advertising medium. We all knew the 'net would eventually go
commercial. I just didn't think it would be this fast. One
day I'm talking about <i>Dr. Who </i>on USENET and before you know
it there are prime-time commercials during the <i>X-Files</i>
ridiculing the old school of 'net users as stupid for not
making money. As if everything has to do with money.
<p>
But I'm following the trend anyway. But not entirely. I'm
giving links and stuff to you frames-free and text-only
surfers. Like you can get to the <a href="menu.html">menu</a>
and the <a href="personal.html">personal</a> bits. And
<i>unlike</i> the latest trend, I'm actually providing
content. It seems like a radical idea to actually put
text and ideas up on the web, especially if they're not
about a product, but I miss the old days, when people linked
to each other instead of just internally to themselves and when gopher
was still a phenomenon. So consider sticking around,
the graphics intensive portion is over.
<p>
Yeah, I'm weak willed, giving in to a priciple I find
distasteful, but I quit wearing my bell-bottoms too...
