Merry Christmas 2008
 

 

After nearly three years, I've finally finished all the elements of Half-life, which I suppose I can now put aside until I have another half of life to write about. That should be around 2044, by current calculations.

With some extra time on my hands, I've been doing a little housecleaning around the site. I got rid of the old pop-up boxes on Joel Fauré: the Melancholy Male Model. These days, everyone has pop-up blockers, which makes the story impossible to follow.

I also polished up some old code that made text GIANT in Safari on stories like Glory and the Golden Apple. (Safari didn't exist when this site was founded in 1995.) Since I've always coded from hand, things can also go a bit wonky when browsers get upgraded, including Internet Explorer.

That said, Windows-based machines will still play the old voices files from the classic stories, while Macs will not.

So that's the past in order. Now, where should this site go in the future?
