BBS: Missing BBS ANSI artwork, and, Yes! I still remember how to blog (I think.)
Thu, 20 Apr 2006

Gripe warning!

The local telco in their infinite wisdom knocked me 'more or less' off the air for a week or so; this was pretty annoying in and of itself as it torments the automated systems I've assembled to run the site, but we can all use a break from the net once in awhile... the trouble comes with the subsequent jokulhaups of angry email in my support box. The last few weeks have left me a little drained as I try to survive the assault of angry folks spamming their questions over and over until they get a response, Easter, many birthdays, house searching and other chits of chaos. But hey, our old friend Anita hacked away on the upcoming Wiki so something has gotten done (thanks Anita!)

So heres to let you know -- I'm still alive, just whiplashed :) If you're wondering where my 2-3 usual blog entries per week went, well, I've stored up a few ideas for a rainy day. Still, I must post something so here goes.. I stumbled across this file on my drive, an ANSI screen grab of a BBS loader screen. Its hard to see nowadays so I had to fire up an ancient copy of TheDraw ANSI editor, and in the end swiped someone elses screenshot so you all could see it. I just know that Phronq is wetting himself right now.

More later.

Is the Matrix full? Is that why Retro has gone so strong that its duration is greater than the music it features?
