June 13, 2001 As I always say, if it's demented and on the web, I will link up to it. HAH! If you want the Graphical Guru (Harpeau Crapuad)to paint your Aura, write up a small 100 word essay that would describe your 'youness'. Visit the demented site of the Electric Frog.

June 12, 2001 Start over again? What could I have possibly been thinking. As it is, I have to type everything in Geocities in raw HTML, but, hey. I am too cheap to invest in Flash. I guess I have other fish to fry. Maybe HTML will come back some day, you never know! As it is, I have fallen behind on digital definitions.

April 21, 2001 You are the Weakest Link...good-bye.

April 20, 2001 Lately I have had many digital disasters. First of all..my real domain changed servers and I lost all the files. Then I accidentally erased hundreds of Dreamweaver files and lost hours of work. Now I am left with this crappy site and I can't even get into it in Front Page, I have to enter via Geocities File Manager. I can say that it will take me some time to build my digital empire back up. With the loss of my Webmeister files, hundreds of the links on this page do not link up. This really could take a while to fix. Makes me kinda wanna just start all over again.

March 12, 2001 I would update this site more often if I had the time. Lately, I have had to turn my back on my own little digital dreams and forge on to my newest adventure. "What could that possibly be?", you ask. "Candlemaking!" I reply. Not just any ordinary candles, though. To read more about it, visit the new web page. Just call me Mama So'Ya. Of course,the web site, well ~ it isn't finished. I have a tendency to start projects and abandon them mid stream. But you can get a good idea what I have been up to in my laboratory these past few months.

December, uh, I mean, January 16, 2001...Can you believe METABABY hasn't opened back up yet? They are slacking off worse than I am! I mean, reallY! Hey, I have been a busy bee, learning and earning. I am currently enrolled in a Dreamweaver 4 course. Or is it 5? It's so hard to keep updating. What a life. ~woo hoo! ALSO, I got a digital camera from Santa! AND ADOBE PHOTOSHOP! Wow, now I am set until the next upgrade. No wonder I haven't posted anything for 2 months! HAH! I have been stormed by emails, everyone wanting a piece of the C.H.A.T.Z. action. WELL. My next no brainer is to sell pine cones. I had a dream about that once, didn't I?

November 19, 2000I have been working 24/7 learning Macromedia Flash 5. I just finished making my first animated movie! Click here to view the flash file and remember it takes a while to download. So, check it out! COSMIC CHRISTMAS And remember, have a very quiet Cosmic Thanksgiving! ~Viola~ Haha, I am having so much FUN with this! !

November 5, 2000 Things are getting pretty FLASHY around here...And learning a new program can be so frustrating! Yes, I finally made the leap into Macromedia. To take a look at my macromediocre art work click on Sneak Peek and promise not to laugh. It honestly took me two full days to create, convert and upload this flash file.

October 24, 2000 Artificial Intelligence and Cognitivism. Can machines think? Understanding this should begin with defining the meaning of the terms "Machine" and "Intelligence". While researching A.I.M.L. (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) I came across a variety of BOTS and interesting information including the biography of Alan Turing, the father of computer science. Will be posting links to the many BOTS that already exist on the web.

Friday the 13th, 2000 What an absolutely wicked day! And a full moon. You can't ask for much more than that. My lucky day! I was going to do a little research on Friday the 13th. How did it start? Why do they eliminate the 13th floor in hotels? These are the questions I will be asking today. Will post some links on the subject.

October 9, 2000 If I had known I'd be meeting you in this life, I'd have come as a better person. HAH! Lately I have been chatting too much. I really have a million other more important things to do with my time, so why am I so drawn to chat? I am not sure. Oh well, as they say, there are no coincidences. Every experience can be used to draw from at a later date, if needed. Even if it isn't in this lifetime. Some mornings, it isn't worth chewing thru the leather straps.

September 22, 2000 LBooleans. A little tip about search engines today. The words AND, NOT, OR, and NEAR are all special keywords called Boolean operators. And all these years I have been searching with a '+' sign. HAH! These Boolean words are always capitalized. And search words should be in small letters. So, if you are searching for the television show, ER, you would type in er AND tv. Who would have known?

September 8, 2000 Have been searching the world-wide-web for Halloween links. Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays of the year. So far, I have found some pretty cool haunted houses and other spOoky links. Go check them out! And don't miss out on Shocking Stick Death.Pure web entertainment.

August 30, 2000 Well, summer is almost over and quite frankly, I am looking forward to being snowed in with my Machine O~ Schemes. Thanks to all the Yahoo! Chatters who contributed to the CHATZ test. The test still needs 4 more questions if anyone out there is feeling hoochie.

August 16, 2000 Am currently working on C.H.A.T.Z. (The Chatting Human Addict Testing Zone.) This nifty little test helps you decide the individual level of your addiction to the internet and your individual degree of separation from reality. It isn't complete as there are no questions yet, but am posting it while de-bugging.

August 8, 2000 See Jane Run. See Spot Sit. If the job had a more appealing title and salary, I might be able to accept it. But really, you want me to be a Hostess? At 6.00 an hour plus tips? gak. It may be simply that my sole purpose in the restaurant business was to serve as a warning to others on what NOT to do. I hope my kharmic destiny has something other than hostessing in mind. If I never fill out another application in another restaurant it will be too soon.

August 6, 2000 Was contacted by the Doctor Of Karma this morning via e-mail. The Electric Frog has nominated me as an official A-Soul. The Graphic Guru made a wonderful GIF with a link back to this site! Am very flattered. *blushes* ~ I returned the favor with a new graphic for the Frog...

August 5, 2000 Was contacted by the Bitter Waitress webmaster. He loves my Tip O Matic 20% tip calculator. I sent him the files and he plans on putting it on his bitter site. For a pre-view of this marvel go to: TipOmATiC  The wonderful thing about it is I made it from scratch. The applet was compiled in a JDK and graphics done in PSP.

July 31, 2000 If~Then~Else would pretty much describe the way I feel about the entire month of July! It has been an If~Then~Else kinda month. I finished my final examine today, with a final grade of 83%. I seem to have a problem with drawing primitive shapes. Integers Schmintigers! I never said I  was a math wizz.  xpos ypos, who cares? Next class: Java Script.

July 29, 2000 I have been wasting the hours away, playing in metababy every day for hours. That site is too cool.  I have to try and pull myself away from the keyboard today and go lounge by the pool for a bit. How was your week?

July 19, 2000 Today I am working on a java applet that automatically figures out 20% of the check. When I am done, I am going to show it to the Bitter Waitress Webmaster. That site totally needs some help!  I have so many new ideas. Last night I had a dream that I built a web-site and sold Pine Cones! What is that about?

July 14, 2000 Well, I am getting ready to put the new improved  java applet  that I just compiled on this page. I was actually thinking that the page is getting far too long. (OH, the HORROR!) I made the More Amusing Links button today , *see below* ~ graphics and everything.  Then I redid the title graphics on this page for the up-teinth time. Now that I am doing something constructive with my applets, it makes all those hours of learning how to program worthwhile. Back to the drawing board!

 

July 8, 2000 Hard to believe, I know, but it took me over 4 weeks just to be able to put this silly little red button with a wee little mouseover on this web-site. Java is a very complicated yet FASCINATING language. I hear that they use java to power space ships! No wonder I am having such a rough time of it, I never said I was a rocket scientist. Run your mouse over this circle for a cheap thrill. Back to the drawing board. *smiles*

June 30, 2000 I passed by this haunted house on the web about a year ago and just ran across it again today by chance while researching java. It has inspired me! I am going to make my own haunted house from scratch! Check out the link to see some radical mouseover effects on this page.  Move your mouse over the moon and watch it turn blood red! Many interesting effects. Also, there is a whole segment on how it was made.

June 18, 2000 Today some freak cloned madame webmeister in Yahoo chat and used her name to ramble on about some pretty strange stuff. It was the freakiest thing because whatever program the guy was using not only made an exact replica of my handle, but he/she had a super bot that spit out all kinds of CRAP, including a chorus.  It was quite odd, but then again it was Yahoo Chat.  Not to worry, madame has her eye on the culprit. If any of you fellow chatters see this raisin head drop me a line.

June 14, 2000 Just finished my first assignment in java programming. I will be sprucing up this page with some fun applets. Am learning all about Virtual machines. You see, for a browser to support Java Applets, it must first know how to convert the bytecode of an applet into machine code your computer can run.  What's that to you? "Nothing!" you say? HAH! To me, it's just another thing I'd want to know.

June 9, 2000 The Star Trek Scavenger Hunt  web-site  I made won a first place award!  That's pretty cool. I have been working with animations lately and brushing up on Paint Shop Pro. I am busy designing cartoon characters like webworm and web kitty. If you are thinking of designing cartoons, this is a good site to learn how to make cats. Cartoon Tutorial

June 7, 2000  Just call me cookie girl.

June 4, 2000 An even better place for waitresses to put in an official complaint is at: BITTER WAITRESS. What potential that site has, all the letters were really bitter. It has inspired me to create some sort of waitress java game to play on the web. In java programming, I am learning how to write applets. In my game, the waitress sues the owner and eventually owns the joint. Then she tears out all the booths and starts a web design company. 

June 3, 2000  Two noteworthy sites that are sure to bring a chuckle are Certified Bitches and Heartless Bastards. I think all the crazy sites are much more interesting than the business ones. Maybe I should specialize in whacky sites. It's something to consider, anyway.

May 31, 2000 A good place to vent those working woes is at: workingwounded.com. I wrote them a juicy little letter today. It isn't easy being a waitress/html author. Especially when you consider that the crucial moments of your career revolve around little things like not ordering enough hamburger. Some mornings it isn't worth chewing thru the leather straps.

 

May 29, 2000 Being dissatisfied with the experiences life gives us- forever hampers our growth. Reality is not our bane but our gift. The particular reality perceived by any one of us is of special significance because in that reality are our lessons- the very lessons that will awaken us to the awareness that painful moments are the most generous in healing the life's path. It's our interpretation of life's realities that is at fault. Sometimes all I can do is trust that all is well, even though it is not as I had hoped. On days like today I like to make resolutions.

  1. I resolve to work harder.

  2. I resolve to work stronger.

  3. I will step out of my comfort zone.

  4. I will demand more of myself.

  5. I will ask myself every morning, "What can I do to make my life better?"

There is no reality; Only our perception to it.

May 28, 2000 Life is good. Have been amusing myself finding incredibly ridiculous web-sites. June is almost here and I haven't even set up the BBQ yet. Speaking of BBQ's, dotcomguy is having a world wide BBQ in July. Click on his link to see how YOU can have a dotcom b-b-q of your very own.

May 17, 2000 I thought it would be cool to put one of those mouse trails on this page. It was really easy to do. Just go to Dynamic Drive for the code. I put this one up in about about 5 minutes. WAY SPORTY. I did some networking today. I do love to hobnob with fellow geeks.

May 16, 2000Well, today is the day my free version of Paint Shop Pro ran out and it is a sad day, indeed. Am in a real quandry about which imaging software I should get. I really do like working with Paint Shop Pro. At least I know how to operate it, anyway, and that's half the battle. But I think Adobe Photo Shop is the one the pros use.  Right now I am redesigning my domain in raw HTML. I think there is something to be said for fast loading pages and would like my domain to be a place where I can update and keep in touch with basic HTML. Enough said. I must admit I do like those flashy cool Javascript and Flash pages. I admit that. If you want to go take a look at a really trippy page go to Full Moon Graphics. I like the streamer the mouse makes on that site.

May 9, 2000 I have decided to participate in a Star Trek scavenger hunt hosted by Area 51 in Geocities. The way it works is, you surf the web for pictures from the list and create a web page (or two) to put them all on. It has taken me three days, just to find all the pics and am still missing 4 items. I can't find a 3 D Chess Set, a pic of Queen Arachnia, or Riker covered in black goo. Oh, and a Bolian. (the blue guys) But I have decided to post the thing anyways as I am working on it. Click on Scavenger Hunt to go there. Live Long and Prosper.

Cinco De Mayo~ 2000 Back to Reality. Weird how I just wrote that thing about love letters and then that virus was named that. Guess no one will want to click on that link!  Just as well, anyway. I heard tonight that the I LOVE YOU virus has taken on many forms. The most recent is a Mothers Day confirmation letter. For all you want to know about the LOVE LETTER virus, check out this site at Symantec.com I am really glad I didn't get this virus yesterday morning because I know I would have opened it. They think some kid in the Philippines wrote the worm because he put "I hate school" somewhere in the code, along with something about Manila. Boo and Hiss to the lazy hackers who changed the attachment names.  Oh brave new world.

April 28, 2000 Ladies, have you ever been lucky enough to get a really good love letter I mean a REALLY GOOD love letter, not just your run of the mill average love letter. A letter good enough to save in your yahoo mail for over a year kinda letter. I like this letter so much, I want to share it with everyone. ( With the authors permission, of course. *wink*) Not only does this man have talent, you will see that he truly enjoys the written word.  I like the part in the beginning when he says "Are you really a waitress?" And to think I met him in Yahoo.... I have to say one thing about yahoo chat, for any women who are chatting there and wanting to meet *prince charming*. May you be so lucky as to get a letter like this. Inspiring, yes. Intellectual, yes. On the edge, yes. Some times I get a warm fuzzy feeling just thinking back to the day when chat was new and the world was full of princes. Everyone needs a hero. Oh, and a Hallmark card never hurt.What can I say, he inspired me. Oh, the rapture of the written word.

April 27, 2000 So much to learn, so little time. I have been chatting in Web Design lately and realize how much there is to learn about the whole process. One good thing to know is a lot of the technical people really don't have a good eye for design and the designers have no idea about the technical. So it's a good thing I have both brains. My mind has been wandering lately. Maybe its the planets. Whatever it is I sure have been doing a lot of nothing lately. Well, back to duplicating sprites. Or maybe back to yahoo chat with those web design people and let my ego have a good thrashing. Bows before the web-designers in Yahoo Chat.

April 16, 2000 Since this is TAX DAY, I want to make an announcement to the universe! Next year, I hope to be *netting* enough to actually owe Uncle Sam! Or, rather, I hope to be making enough money that I won't notice cutting the check. Peace.

April 15, 2000 Nothing like a breakfast shift in the diner to put the old ego back into perspective. I tell ya, people are so cheap the day before tax day. The tips today were terrible! Only the poor people tipped good today. That's because the old saying is true,*THE RICH GET RICHER* for a reason. They are really lousy tippers. In my next life, I am going to be a customer and some of these old blue hairs with the big diamond rings are going to be MY waitress. I will try and take it easy on them. I won't ask for lemons in my water or make demands that she serve the MILK with the MEAL. NO, no. I plan on being very nice, in fact I will even make nice comments such as, "My, My, my dear, you seem very busy today, you are running around here working SO hard!" then I would ask what the special was, what's your favorite thing to eat here, do you have pepsi or coca~cola products, how do they cook the chicken, is the tuna ALBACORE or DOLPHIN. But I will be very polite about it.  Speaking of next lives....check out the article on The Universe as a Hologram... Deep down I have always felt that there is something more to the Universe than meets the eye.

April 14, 2000 Had quite a scare last night while editing my latest masterpiece. I almost erased the whole file and didn't have a backup! I didn't spend an extra 200 bucks on this zipdrive for NOTHING! One thing any good HTML author knows is to BACK UP THE FILES! The latest news is that the Roadside Magazine has *dissed* Madame Webmeister over her selection of Midi Files on the above mentioned masterpiece. I mean really, doesn't the guy have a volume control on his speakers? He makes it sound like I committed a federal offense or something. Not only THAT, but he announced it on the front page of his web-site! OH< THE HORROR. Well, I suppose I could go thru the trouble to make a little midi box on the damn page, but REALLY, the guy dissed me BAD. Wait till my boss sees THIS! Oh, yeah, I am the boss! The boss of me!  *b.t.w.* I noticed that Roadside Magazine has a LOTTA broken hyperlinks. Tsk TSk. In the end, he does mention that the web-site is *stylish. So, it's all good. 

April 2, 2000Since the chat advice thing didn't go off very well, I have decided to use this as my personal diaries page. Believe it or not, the old website actually got an award! I know this frightens many of you, and to tell you the truth I think it is time to do something insightful with this previously ridiculous web-site. To friends and family who have been wondering why I have turned into such an HTML freak, all I can say is, "SORRY!" I dream about web-sites. What used to be days and nights filled with chat has transformed into some sort of weird obsession for studying other web-sites and designing my own. In fact, I just published yet another as I am starting up a small (for now) web design company.

     In fact, I just noticed today that geocities supports Front Page 2000 and figured I might as well start something new and  I decided to just keep this page simple. No bells and whistles for Madame Webmeister, just facts, links and plenty of useless information. Of course I will be updating this page regularly.  Did you know that I am a grandma? I can't believe it myself but it's true.

     All of this and I am still waiting tables, er, uh, slinging hash at the local diner. Not for long, though, if I have things my way. I can feel a wave of new beginnings washing over me like the tide on that universal beach called life.
