w! It's the birth f a brand new feature...
Argh! The worst part about coming back to writing internet pages after about a one-month break for exams is finding how much you've forgotten. How to create the simplest effects, for example (this page is just tax the yanks with the text re-done)... or how to make a full-size BNFBTG logo, upon discovering your original has been strangely deleted. You'll have to settle for this expanded miniature for now (zoomed in by a factor of 4), while I try to remember how to create those snazzy effects at the full size.
WARNING: Seriously huge construction work going on. Even more so because, even though I am no longer a total HTML newbie, I have been away for a while. And I still haven't got any of those funky programs that help you out. :(
If I ever complete this page, there will be a complete plethora of articles on, shall we say, the more twisted side to life on this planet. I may even add a few links right now to be starting off, if i can remember the addresses. But it won't just be links. With the glorious 11 megabytes of space offered by these hilariously excellent Geocities people, I will be able to include so many things right here on this site. The space available just keeps going up and up, you only had 3 meg when i joined...
But i'm afraid for now you're going to have to imagine all of that, as I haven't written it yet.. :) But as promised here are some links to be going on with. Pretty tame stuff at the moment, I'm afraid..
Press here to be transported to a site devoted to american wierd-rockers, They Might Be Giants. If you live in the UK you may have heard a couple of their better known tunes when they 'topped' the charts at around number 20 in the early 1990's - 'Birdhouse in your soul' and 'Istanbul'. Those in the USA will have had more exposure to this slightly twised duo.
If you would like to experience the awe-inspiring examples of dumbness that are commited by The Atlanta Roadways Digest's 'Tard of the month', try this piece of text and your efforts will be rewarded.
Necessarily bizzare - indeed, it may later be relocated to the main links dump on my site - is What's Funny On The Internet Today, but it's a cool place. Check it out.
Of course, no wierd list would be complete without a trip to Robert Morris' Attic of the World. Whether the title implies that his site is on top of the world, contains all the world's rubbish, or both, I am not sure, but the authorities have been informed.
A site that will be inevitably included in my techno-knowlegable graveyard sub-site once I write it is YaK's Zoo, online home of the right royal and totally mad Jeff Minter. Argueably responsible for some of the best computer programs of yesteryear, I am eagerly awaiting his return to popularised games writing. Remember Llamatron and Revenge of the Mutant Camels 
? No? Well, you should. How about Trip-a-Tron? Didn't think you would. Maybe a mention of Tempest 2000 will change your mind. Yes, hopelessly Atari for a long time, Jeff has converted his games to other formats but has, I feel, been irreversably affected by the great company's ungratious fall from power. Poor guy. Go visit him, download some of his games and send him the registration fee if you can afford it. I'm afraid I can't.. I had to save for ages to be able to splurge £10 on a secondhand copy of Tempest 2000 for the PC.. Still, maybe when I get into steady employment, you know..
Another thing that has gone down the pan in a humongous way is the British wing of Manga Internet, as has the rest of it no doubt. Used to be a good company but has concentrated too much on the sex and violence. Seeking something more, it's wares have slowly dissapeared from our shelves as disillusioned punters try other entertainments, and even the website has taken a little over a year to appear in a viewable manner. God, not even I move that slow (I hope!). The empty spaces left behind, with a few dirty / pyschopathic anorak types patrolling looking despondantly at them, have been filled with T-shirts and posters. Everything from unbranded 'Lighter Thief' t-shirts, through all types of merchandise surrounding the brilliant SOUTH PARK (sorry about the capitals, but it needed them..), to, in bizzareness the strength of which is the only thing truly fit for this page so far, Navy blue sweaters with massive, silver atari logos on them...
Which brings us almost neatly to the end of the page. Eventually this will all be categorised and split off into different pages. But for now this will have to do. I leave you a parting gift of Web Poison and absolute boon for anyone who has a webpage with their email on it but doesnt want to get spammed. Not very bizzare at all really, but Immensely useful. With, as you can see, a capital I. And for the very final thing, a trip to a site with possibly the worst design in the world, the online home of the DVLA (dont ask me what it stands for.) It's the thing which deals with drivers licenses and the like in the UK. Not only is it so cheap it cannot even afford the £50 a year that the 'www.dvla.co.uk' address would cost (even though they make about £10 on every license issued and dickloads of revenue from other things), they have little icons which take ages to load. upon further inspection using the 'view image' menu item, many of them proved to be bigger than my whole screen. three cheers guys. you also dont have much useful or interesting content either. beaurocrats, you cant trust them, and yet theyre allowed to run whole countries. WHY??! bizarre, huh?

, as it sucks really badly. And that's not just blind prejudice, I have experienced the horror of that pile of corporate cack they have the cheek to call a web browser. Just why does it need 80mb installation (that's one-eighth of a CD) when i have seen better packages come on a single floppy disk?

. and now some little links which only the most perservering will find. all of these are on my site.
A low-quality recording of 'Intergalactic' by the Beastie Boys in mp3-wav format.
Hardly CD or even broadcast quality, but all the same nice to listen to if you haven't a radio or anything. If that is the case, why have you got a computer but not a radio?? Legal bit; if you haven't already bought a single or album containing this track, you are allowed to keep it on your computer's hard disk for no more than 24 hours, and copying it to any other medium (e.g. magnetic tape) is a breach of copyright and a criminal act. so there. i have bought the single, so i guess i can do what i want, within reason.
A file in ZIP format containing a simple utility to create mp3 files from wav files. very restricted as it is only a demo, and you have to set your computer's clock back to 1995 to work it (i got it from a download site about two months ago in this state.. grr). To create a greater range of mp3's like i am now doing, you need a set of mp3-wav drivers for windows (which can be found on the net), sound recorder 32 (free with win95) and a utility to strip the wav headers (also available on the net). happy converting!
The same recording in mp3 format. 2 minutes 36 seconds, 18kbit/s, 11khz mono. Basically the first file with the wav header removed.
