That's my web content -- no idea whose site you posted, but the content was copied wholesale without permission.

My current web pages with that content are linked in my sigline. Haven't updated them in years, but so it goes.

Hope this helps.

Hey Bob! I didn't know that was you here on Eplaya! HAHA!

It's Dani from Camp D'nile.

I too have used your pages for reference and I really like it. Thanks for writing all that shit down!

Oh hi there!

Had my pages hosted at sirius.com in the 90s before they folded as a local ISP, then at pacbell.net, then at GeoCities before they were crushed like a bug by Yahoo. Editing content at sites.google.com is annoying beyond belief, and the results are ugly even compared to GeoCities, but at least it's free and it's still there, for now. Lots of dead links, have to update things sometime. It is what it is.

Apropos of nothing, it's amazing that people who bitched about GeoCities seem to have no problem with Facebook or Google.

anyways i have been referring to the 100% according to hoyle Bob version, not the rip off

Hail Eris! So, I've been burnin' for some years now, and I've recently obtained a surplus of cardboard- does anyone have some brilliant ideas on have to weatherize or even waterproof the stuff? I'm thinking duct tape & emergency blankets, but I'd really love some less labor intense, crowd-source suggestions. Thanks!

I can only imagine you'd need something more labor intensive than you describe. Duct-taping emergency blankets will make them shiny, but won't do anything at all to help secure it. Unless you put a lot of work into fortification, or unless it's magic cardboard, whatever you secure it to could be torn loose by even moderate winds. Plus it does sometimes rain out there, cardboard generally doesn't like that one bit. Good luck with whatever you go with.

I'm pretty pissed that Yahoo chose to buy and subsequently destroy Geocities. As shitty as Geocities was, people made some great content sites on there, and it was a repository for the "social internet" back when having a homepage was the cool thing. Now it's just blogs and Facebook shit.

I'm concerned that Google will just abandon their services such as their sites like Yahoo did. They've closed down Google Labs, abandoned projects like Google Wave, try to foist their new Gmail interface on people, and like to kill off some of the functionality in their search engine (such as the "+" operator, blocking sites, etc.). That kind of behavior makes me not want to invest in services that I don't have direct control over.

..and let's not forget the easily forgettable 15 minutes of fame that Google+ had.

Last year someone at Illumination Village built a complete shade structure out of cardboard. It had rooms and everything. Pretty amazing I must say.
