Spring re-design — The Porch

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (10:46) #101

at work tonight...will call when I get home, probably between 10:30 and 11...

~terry Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (11:48) #102

Sounds good.

~stacey Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (18:45) #103

when I made ya hungry Paul... what were you craving?!?!

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (23:05) #104

probably something different than I was...

~terry Fri, Jul 24, 1998 (05:38) #105

I wasn't even thinking about food till I read your post, then zoom, off to the races.

~stacey Fri, Jul 24, 1998 (05:38) #106

perhaps our design should also contain food and sex to provide a clearer image of Spring inhabitants!

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 24, 1998 (05:38) #107

WOO WOO!!!

~riette Wed, Jul 29, 1998 (05:24) #108

Hell, then I'll just do a spurting willy!!!

~riette Wed, Jul 29, 1998 (05:25) #109

AFter all, willies count as food too, right?

~terry Wed, Jul 29, 1998 (08:53) #110

Remember the spermy looking logo we had for a while, a cross between a noctural emission and an oil gusher?

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 30, 1998 (22:55) #111

such intriguing images... to get the text box conf link done, I've gotta rework the list template... haven't gone to armidale to get it yet, and not sure if I can figure it out myself, yet... am starting work on template re-design, so if there is something else that you all want, speak up...

~riette Wed, Aug 5, 1998 (14:23) #112

No, a willy will do just fine, thank you.

~KitchenManager Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (07:59) #113

There's a link to your spiffy new search page on main now, Terry...

~LADY Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:17) #114

HELLO HOW SOES THIS WORK IS ANY ONE HERE?

~LADY Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:18) #115

SOME ONE (((((((((( HELP!! )))))))))))

~wer Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:20) #116

Are you still here? It's a bulletin boardish kinda thing. Post a message, as above, and come back at your earliest convenience and see if anyone has responded... Welcome! Hope you stay around here awhile...

~LADY Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:26) #117

IS SOME ONE HERE THIS IS SO WEIRD I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY CAHT PLACE LIKE THIS ? I thought this was live chat. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE MAN!!!!!!

~ratthing Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:41) #118

hi lady! nope this aint live chat. this is asynchronous, bulletin board style communication ala the WeLL. check out http://www.spring.net to learn more any maybe even http://www.well.com hope to see you around some more!!

~wolf Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:41) #119

yes, lady, and do stop shouting (caps on)! sometimes a group of us are on-line at the same time and that's cool! but it's fun to post something and then come back later and see what happened next!

~terry Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (08:41) #120

It is something else, Lady. Not chat for sure. Something more intelligible and focused hopefully.

~wolf Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (20:49) #121

even with our ramblings he finds us intelligent! well, hey, we're edgy and cooool! i don't know who revamped this place but it looks good. very soothing to me...

~KitchenManager Tue, Sep 1, 1998 (23:10) #122

thanks...

~riette Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (01:11) #123

Mighty mighty good!!! Man!

~wolf Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (10:28) #124

if this kind of stuff comes out of your head, wer, then we have nothing at all to fear. does ya needs to blab?

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (10:44) #125

actually, just changed the page to mirror Terry's index and search pages...trying for that continuity thang...

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (10:46) #126

and as to blabbing, no but thanks, that's what I'm working on controlling at the moment...

~wolf Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (13:10) #127

gotcha! well, the breaks are different, aren't they? doesn't matter, i like it anyway!

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (00:52) #128

so, do you all like the looks in here enough for me to make it the new default for the Spring as a whole? (at least for awhile, anyway...)

~riette Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (01:41) #129

It's great, but don't ya touch my conference!!!! I'll turn you into another kind of default with alot of stripes, and a very silly logo on those broad shoulder o' yours! No I just find it sort of nice that all the conferences have identities of their own. Like, I can't imagine Genx without our lovable puppy! It just so suits that conference - I can't somehow get excited over the leaves (which look so great here!!) replacing our puppy!

~wolf Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (08:14) #130

how about making it the default for conferences that don't already have a nice background?

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (08:48) #131

that's what I said...the default... will show in all the conferences where a lovable host hasn't messed with the rc file, and will show on Main Menu... speaking of, has anyone noticed the Personalized for line?

~wolf Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (09:10) #132

yes i did, was that you? what's the scholar thingy? or should i just click and go there?

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (09:14) #133

Click and go, Baby!

~riette Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (11:16) #134

Oh! I'm terribly sorry, Wer! I misunderstood! WHERE is the personalized for line? Damn, my head is thick as a mud ball at the moment - just can't think straight.

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 3, 1998 (17:15) #135

http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/main right under the words Main Menu...

~riette Fri, Sep 4, 1998 (03:45) #136

Oh, I found it! You've got great moves, Wer!

~riette Fri, Sep 4, 1998 (03:45) #137

We should change the name of this topic to 'Spring re-vamp'!

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 9, 1998 (22:55) #138

So, how "commercial" do you all mind this place looking? What doesn't anyone want me to do?

~riette Thu, Sep 10, 1998 (05:39) #139

I so, go right over the top, Muffin!

~autumn Thu, Sep 10, 1998 (20:39) #140

No tacky plastic crap. Anything else is OK!

~riette Sat, Sep 12, 1998 (01:15) #141

You mean and Edwardian feel would not delight the Moore heart?

~wer Sat, Sep 12, 1998 (10:32) #142

I thought Othellian feels lit the Moor heart...

~riette Sun, Sep 13, 1998 (02:59) #143

ha-ha!

~autumn Sun, Sep 13, 1998 (20:53) #144

Now there's a real man! He can light my fire anyday...

~mikeg Fri, Sep 18, 1998 (05:35) #145

The place is looking nice :)

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (05:29) #146

Thanks, Mike, still can't get some things to work, however... Terry, got you options for the last 50, 100, 333, and 500 posts in case you're not webbing in...

~autumn Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (16:49) #147

333? What an intriguing number...how did you arrive at that, mike?

~mikeg Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (18:18) #148

um i didn't - wer did :)

~autumn Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (20:44) #149

oops, I meant wer.

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (09:03) #150

um, Terry asked for the last 100 and last 500, so I figured someone sometime might want something inbetween, so why not 333? I mean, it is a lot cooler than say 250 or plain old 300...

~autumn Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (12:47) #151

Ah...curiosity satisfied! 333 is both edgy and cool, don'tcha think?

~KitchenManager Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (12:53) #152

exactly!

~riette Sat, Sep 26, 1998 (00:44) #153

You're sooooooo cool, Wer! Were you born that way, or moulded?

~wer Sat, Jan 9, 1999 (00:40) #154

yes...

~KitchenManager Sun, Jan 17, 1999 (13:30) #155

Working on a Link to Us page, with different banners and buttons for people to use to link back to the Spring with...if anyone has any banners for me to put up on said page, e-mail them to me at rotazo@aol.com, or ftp'em to your favorite server and e-mail me their urls...oh, and a for example

~ratthing Sun, Jan 17, 1999 (18:23) #156

wer, i have a cheesy one i made for my website at http://www.ratthing.com

~KitchenManager Sun, Jan 17, 1999 (22:32) #157

got it, Ray, see...

~amy Mon, Jan 18, 1999 (08:08) #158

~ratthing Mon, Jan 18, 1999 (09:52) #159

i like that one a lot!

~KitchenManager Mon, Jan 18, 1999 (21:54) #160

me, too! Thanks, Amy!

~KitchenManager Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (17:51) #161

rough draft of the link to us page is up at http://www.spring.net/~cfadm/links/ peruse, use, and send me submissions!!! and again, thanks Amy and Ray...

~KitchenManager Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (17:52) #162

oh, yeah, be patient as it takes a little while to load...

~KitchenManager Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (17:52) #163

rough draft of the link to us page is up at http://www.spring.net/~cfadm/links/ peruse, use, and send me submissions!!! and again, thanks Amy and Ray...

~terry Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (20:53) #164

I like the one that says "... in a friendly atmosphere". Maybe one that says "What do you want to talk about today?"

~KitchenManager Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (21:53) #165

gotcha, Boss!

~wolf Wed, Feb 3, 1999 (16:09) #166

i really liked the one on #158. but let me go back and check out the ones up at spring-links....

~wolf Wed, Feb 3, 1999 (16:12) #167

ok...i like 'em all....maybe we can just let the person choose a scheme to match their page or their liking? you guys did a good job!

~KitchenManager Wed, Feb 3, 1999 (17:54) #168

that was my thought...still need to make the "Watcha wanna talk 'bout?" one...

~terry Thu, Feb 4, 1999 (09:00) #169

yep, yep!

~KitchenManager Thu, Feb 4, 1999 (17:03) #170

see!

~KitchenManager Sat, Feb 27, 1999 (11:01) #171

If we don't make some changes, the status quo will remain the same.

~wer Tue, Mar 30, 1999 (00:19) #172

hey...I want to put up the spring cam on main...do you all want a snapshot of what is playing, or do you want me to make the whole main menu refresh, and if so, how fast do you want it? (my guess would be somewhere between 45 and 60 seconds...)

~wer Tue, Mar 30, 1999 (00:21) #173

still working on your banner, Terry...speaking of, do you have any cool graphics programs I can use and/or Frontpage98? (got a new, cool computer at home and can telnet and ftp and... and everything!!! well, almost...)

~terry Tue, Mar 30, 1999 (10:25) #174

Yep, I'll be glad to help you get set up. Let me know when to come by. Or you can come by here and I'll get you what you need.

~KitchenManager Tue, Mar 30, 1999 (17:58) #175

kil-ler

~terry Wed, Mar 31, 1999 (08:54) #176

No problem. Give me a call!

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (00:37) #177

I will...as to when, ?

~terry Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (08:07) #178

Anytime, this weekends good.

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (09:06) #179

about the main index page where you want the last responses to go: how does everyone feel about splash pages? it's the easiest way to do it (frames would be next easiest) as I have to write a template and script for the page to include the last response thang...I'm also gonna put the last response pages over in public for more universal access...

~mikeg Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (17:21) #180

I achieved nothing, but in a very nice way....reminisced about depression and what it felt like...odd.

~wolf Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (18:04) #181

this place looks great! (hi mike)

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (20:30) #182

and I thought odd was what I felt like... Hiya, Mike! Hiya, Wolf!

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 2, 1999 (01:01) #183

as to a splash page... what do you all think about http://www.spring.net/~spew/ndex.html

~terry Fri, Apr 2, 1999 (08:13) #184

It's good. Now, if you could have those last 10 posts that folks could click on the main page. Can you create a test page for this?

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 2, 1999 (10:24) #185

I think so...

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 2, 1999 (10:45) #186

and for a second version of splash, see http://www.spring.net/~spew/ndex2.html (I like this one better...)

~mikeg Sun, Apr 4, 1999 (14:06) #187

i love ndex.html wer....not so sure about ndex2.html

~KitchenManager Sun, Apr 4, 1999 (18:36) #188

thank you, Mike got a third version running around in my head, as well...

~wolf Sat, Apr 17, 1999 (10:43) #189

wer, i like em both! harder to read the second one, but the water goes well with the theme!

~mikeg Mon, Apr 19, 1999 (18:17) #190

I was thinking, I could write some Javascript that would allow us to "see" who was here via the web as well as via telnet. anyone fancy that?

~mikeg Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (18:35) #191

no comments?

~KitchenManager Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (19:35) #192

just now am seeing it...sure, if it don't crash stuff like, oh say, Navigator 2.0...

~wolf Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (19:48) #193

i don't know what that mumbo jumbo means so i can't comment. oh, wait...huh?

~mikeg Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (14:47) #194

what version of javascript does netscape 2 have wer?

~autumn Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (00:14) #195

(*paranoid*) Are you guys making fun of me?! I'm so computer-illiterate I can't even tell!

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (00:27) #196

2 is before Java, I think, Mike... Autumn, would I do that?

~autumn Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (00:41) #197

Methinks you would, with relish...

~stacey Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (10:59) #198

only briefly... *grin*

~KitchenManager Sun, Apr 25, 1999 (23:37) #199

I was wrong, Mike, Navigator 2.0 was the first to support Javascript...don't know the version, though...

~mikeg Mon, Apr 26, 1999 (05:00) #200

1.0, I would guess I sent you email asking for create access in /usr/bbs/www - did you get it?
