Unfortunatly, it's time for another hiatus. At the moment, I am still in England, the visa process getting drawn out by a few factors, some of them self-inflicted, some of them unavoidable annoyances, but things are moving and were at a point where I need to be thinking about things like packing. Specifically, packing all my worldly goods I care to keep into boxes, to be transferred to the other side of the planet. Somewhat understandably, this might take a while. There will be another break in the comic whilst everything is sorted and moved ahead. I haven't given an end date for this one, as it somewhat depends on when I get -un- packed at the other end of the journey- which itself depends on how long it will take for the visa process to finally complete. Loose estimate, look back here in a couple of months. Happy trails!
Many apologies for the lack of an update this week. The continum of suck that leads to this begins with me breaking another scanner (for those keeping track, that's scanners 2, me 0). I quickly ordered a replacement (over two weeks ago at this point) and a new scanner was indeed dispatched. To the wrong house. From whom it was rather difficult, it seems, to get it back. After much wrangling, another scanner will be dispatched. Soon. The company promises. Just as soon as they have stock. So, I apologise, both for last weeks strip dran on computer, and for the fact that this weeks strip is missing, as I cannot fill-in plot at this stage without derailing strips I've already drawn. Hopefully,next week, the scanner will have arrived and all will be well. ;p
And lo, the Hiatus is ended! Right when I said it would- I'm actually a little surprised. ;p I am not yet in Australia, but things continue apace and it's looking good! I'm a happy guy. (grins and bounces) Enjoy the comic- more will be coming each Sunday, just like scheduled. Woot! YMS has now entered a Hiatus- as some people may have suspected was going to happen from my increasingly patchy updating schedule. Nobody worry, please- I am fine, and the reasons that I have had to start this hiatus are, in fact, wonderful. I am going to be leaving England, and moving to Australia to marry the girl I love. But to do this will require more money and so more hours at work- and also, I just plain want to spend as much time as I can seeing my girlfriend. ;p By June next year, I should be settled and ready to start work on YMS once again. I apologise for going into hiatus halfway through a storyline- my own bad planning and lack of buffer, there- but things will pick up again as soon as they can. I'll see you in June, folks! ^__^ The second piece of the Nuriko filler from Jenn, but for a good cause- the mess that had taken over my kitchen is being beaten back! All who know and fear my kitchen realise that this is a very good thing indeed... x.x Today is another filler spectacular, thanks to Editor-neesan Jenn, who commissioned this piece (and one other) from Nuriko-Kun. The other piece will show up in the next emergency filler situation. ^_- Thank you for your patience, and hopefully soon, I'll have a buffer, if I'm lucky. Gonna try! (grins) Back to work on the comics again. I was pretty happy with the way that the trio coming through the wall worked out here, which is just as well... there's a very, very large fight scene coming up, and it's going to be... interesting to make work on the page. Wish me luck! ;p I am back from the US, and still a little hampered by jetlag, thusly, this week we have a quick sketch that I came up with at A-Kon.
By way of explanation, for people who don't know Homestar Runner, take a look at this page here. Around halfway through A-Kon I realised that I had consumed enough ramune to drown a small country, and had taken to pronouncing it in a way that, along with my accent, was making me sound like Homestar. So, um... at the time, while sleep deprived and full of sugar, it made sense. ;p
Kind of a snapshot into my mental state at cons, I guess. ;p On the subject of which, meeting artists at the con was fantastic. A more fun group of people I have seldom met, and much kudos goes out to all of them. Huzzah! In other news, I have more commissions from the ever-awesome Jenn, which I shall be putting up very soon. Lucky is me! ^__^ A quick filler comic in the interim between arcs today... I'm taking a gamble that a good number of my readers will know of both City of Villains and Monty Python. I think it's a pretty safe bet. ;p Next week I head away on vacation, but strips are set to run until I get back! Hurrah for buffers... ^_^ A-Kon approaches once again! Just over a month to go until the one con I hit each year, and for a change, I have almost everything ready already. Which is good, since it makes a change from panicking right down to the wire. ;p As ever, I'll be in the Artists Alley, with a reasonable stack of promotional stuff to pimp the comic with. I won't be selling anything this year, including commissions, but if asked, I -will- do sketches for people. Free stuff! I'm also set to be on the "Plotting Storylines" panel with the good people of Two Lumps, and Jennie Breeden of The Devil's Panties, which should be a blast. Want more info on A-Kon? Get it here, or get to know about the Artists Alley here! Every time it gets cold, I'm suddenly reminded that I basically live partway up a mountain. o.0 The wind, she is cold. Oh, so very cold... x.x A little longer blurb than normal this week, and if you can't guess what I'm going to be talking about, you probably don't follow comics too closely. The big news this week is, of course, that Captain America dies. Sure he does. Since, as we all know, comic book companies have a long tradition of killing off characters and keeping them dead. -Especially- when they have movies for those characters in development. There is, in all honesty, as much chance of Captain America staying dead as there is of me getting my hands on a vial of super soldier serum. And that right there is the problem. The death of a character in fiction is supposed to be a catalyst for change. It's meant to be the ultimate possible move you can take, the most final of actions. A characters death should mean something to the people around them, and to the people who read about it. It should change everything. It's only one of many possible such catalysts, but it's a powerful one. Or at least, it should be. But in comics, very few major characters ever stay dead. Comics, after all, are a commercial medium, and keeping a major, merchandised character dead just isn't profitable. As such, since we as fans know that death is seldom lasting... and because the characters -in- comics, at this stage, know the same damn thing... Character death has changed from the most intense form of change possible to the least important. I have seen people get more upset over a character's -costume change- than I have over a character's death. Comics writers need to think of some new ways of affecting a character's life other than ending it and they need to do it now. Because when we stop caring about a character's fate, then we're just plain going to stop caring about that character. I finally got the chance to watch Frisky Dingo this week, and went through all the episodes in two sittings. I can't even fully cover how funny it is. There needs to be a DVD of the show but soon. -Needs- to. ;p Important lessons learned this week: Coca-Cola is not good for scanners. -_- Luckily, scanners are cheap enough, and mail order is quick. ;p All the same, I'd feel a little more confident that I'd taken something away from the experience if I hadn't almost spilled something in the new scanner yesterday... ^.^; A couple of cool links for your delectation today! Firstly, CONvicts. I found this when trawling through TopWebcomics today, and I have to say, it's pretty awesome. Two guys, trapped in the convention that never ends. I approve! Secondly, Citizen Hero. One of the seemingly increasing number of things on YouTube that's seriously worth watching, it's about a group of superheroes whose problems tend more towards the mundane than the bombastic- which is kind of a subject close to my heart. ;p Made me grin, for certain. ^_^ In honour of the fact that today is Super Sunday, here is a little tidbit I've found out. I'm going to assume you know about the famous '1984' Apple Macintosh superbowl ad... but did you know about the 1985 followup 'Lemmings'? Here is is... creepiest damn ad I've ever seen outside of Public Information Films. Enjoy! A little experimentation in this weeks comic, partly born from a different way that I've started working on scripts- moving a page at a time, focussing on describing setting and action first and then adding dialogue once the page-script is done. (A mutated version of the 'Marvel method', scriptwriting fans. ;p) This is something of an extreme version of it, but I thought it fitted what I wanted to do with this transition scene. ^_^ Hopefully, it should help my pacing in the long run, which can only be a good thing. ;p Fnord. ;_; As well as the comic, this week I also finally got something uploaded to my deviantart account. It feels pretty good to draw something just for the heck of it again... seems like it's been a long time since I did that. I'm going to try to draw more like that... hopefully anything I learn from that will channel back into the comic, so it's all good. Oh, and apologies to anyone who had been having trouble accessing the site this week. It seems like something had been making Firefox choke and crash when it tried to load this page... that problem should be dealt with for now, though. ^_^; Happy New Year! A new year, and a new stage. I like it when it lines up like that. ;p I've now been updating YMS for almost three years, which is kind of scary when I think about it. But things are going well, all considered... There are improvements I want to make, always, but I think I keep getting closer to making the kind of strip I want. ^_^ Hoping that 07's going to be a nifty year! Happy Holidays from YMS! The comic is up a little late as I was watching the first half of The Hogfather, and hence was late running the strip past my editor. For what it's worth, The Hogfather was especially awesome. Someone has a spot-on eye for casting. (grins) Having been to visit somewhat distant friends and relatives this weekend, it is now officially Christmas in my mind, something which was underlined by listening to a selection of Christmas songs in the car on the way there. Whilst I was listening, an odd thought struck me. Many years ago, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was nothing more than a department store promotion. Now, he's as much involved with Christmas as any other tradition. On those lines... I realised that every year since the song first originated, I've kept hearing South Park's "Mister Hankey The Christmas Poo" in more and more places. Is this how something like that happens? In fifty years, will Mister Hankey be another entrenched Christmas icon? It's kind of a terrifying thought. ;p The copy of 'Making Comics' arrived from eBay this week. It's an absolutely outstanding book. Scott McCloud, as the mechanics of comics go, is a genius. Almost every part of the book includes ideas that I want to take on board and use in YMS, and more besides. Hopefully, some of them are already showing. ;p Buy it. Find a copy, and buy it. That simple. ;p Hurray! Not ill this week. This is a good thing. ;p So. Yesterday, I tried to pick up a copy of 'Making Comics', since Scott McCloud is always good to take a look at. Actually getting hold of a copy turned out to be bordering on the impossible. Bookshops, comic stores... even -Amazon- turned up zero. The distributor actually has -no- copies left at this stage. Only eBay was actually able to turn up a copy. I am, therefore, expecting this to be one heck of an awesome book. It's got to take quite a lot for a graphic novel to be as hard to get hold of as a Playstation 3. ;p Urgh. I think I have a cold. ^^; Thus, no comic today, as my head seems to be stuffed with cotton wool. Instead, enjoy this guest strip created by my editor-neesan. It makes me laugh. (grins) See you next week, when hopefully the evil cold will have stopped hammering on my brain... x.x Well, I survived the Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament... though perhaps just barely. ;p Out of 140 players, I managed to rank... 140th. o.o Clearly, I understated my predictions of just -how much- my butt was due to get kicked. ;p It was a lot of fun, though- the people were great and I'd certainly go again. Next time, though, I may need to refine my tactics a little... Next week at this time, I will, I hope, be in the Warhammer 40k Tournament, and soundly getting my butt kicked. That is to say, hopefully I'll be able to make it to the tournament, not hopefully I'll get my butt kicked. I suspect that part will happen on its own. ;p Woo! I'd been feeling a little burnt out lately, but this strip was a lot of fun to draw. Fast, too, considering what went into it. ^__^ Partially influenced by my having seen Clerks 2 just recently, I guess. Hurrah for Kevin Smith! ;p (thunk) Just got back from Games Day 2006... very fun, but very exhausting too. My legs hate me for using them all day. ;p Things were bought and I entered... and thoroughly failed to win- the 'Scrap Demon' conversion contest. Good times, though... next stop on the calendar now is the 40k Grand Tournament next month. I really should finish painting my army for that... @.@ Yes, I know. I -have- introduced a lot of new characters lately, maybe too quickly. I need to bring a few people in now to draw some threads together... but for a while, that should be -it-. No more new characters this arc, at the very least. Promise. ^_^; Rather than my usual pointless rambling, I actually have something somewhat relevant to the comic in general to say today. For the forseeable future, the internal pacing of the strip will be- and has been- different from usual. One of the elements of writing that I have -always- performed badly with has been pacing. I have a horrible tendency to focus for too long on small details, letting the flow suffer as a result. So, now, I'm experimenting more with brevity. Experimenting being the operative word. So things may get confusing. I may realise I have trimmed too -much- from certain scenes. Things may get weird. ;p I hope not, but it's a learning experience. So, that's advance warning, which is probably the best I can give you. Hopefully, things should get clearer from hereon in! So very many words this week... Head spinning from typography... Besides that... go see Snakes on a Plane. If you've been interested in it at -all- over the last year, then you owe it to yourself to go see it. It delivers everything it promises- no more, no less. Fantastic. ;p Smoke is fun to draw. ;p Web search statistics are a great source of cheap amusement when you run a website. Some of the searches that bring people to your page can be truly baffling... possibly a great example of this is a search that showed up in my statistics a while ago. Three words... "Warhammer 40k Porn". I've mentioned it to a few people, and so far the best suggestions as to what that could -possibly- entail have involved vibro weapons, power fists and "receiving the Emperor's love". Brr... Anyone out there who fondly remembers puzzle games like Lemmings and Pushover would be well advised to check out Armadillo Run. A physics-based puzzle game in which you have to guide an armadillo (which is to say, a ball) along a series of structures towards its goal. It sounds simple, but can become positively -fiendish-. It's like it was 1994 all over again. ;p Not much in the way of Blurb today. ;p It's double XP weekend on City of Heroes, and the comic is already going up later than I'd planned. (chuckles) So now I am off to fight crime! Up, up and awaaaay! I'm going to follow the lead of Ugly Hill and recommend that everyone reading this go take a look at "The Amazing Screw-On Head" on SciFi.com. I can't talk it up enough. It's brilliant, it's funny, and David Hyde Pierce is fantastic in it. That's all. Just... go watch it. And take the survey. This -deserves- to be made into a regular series. ^-^ Yay! Another comic I'm happy with the look of. Some of the strips over my vacation had felt a little rushed to hit deadline, but it feels like I'm back into something like my stride again. ^-^, In other news, as of yesterday, I've gotten my ticket for this year's Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament, in the first heat. I now look forwards to being horribly beaten a lot. This isn't especially because I think I'm unlucky or a bad player... I just play Imperial Guard. I think it's probably best to expect the worst. ;p And now, stage five! Five is an odd word. Five. Five. I mean, when you really -look- at it, it's weird. Like Scuba. Incidentally, it's very strange drawing people asleep. It was trickier than I expected. Maybe because people tend to look angelic when they sleep, and an angelic Sean just looks... odd. (grins) And Stage Four draws to a close! I have around a week left in my vacation, now. Next week I will be far, far too jetlagged / exhausted to update with a normal comic... instead, for one week only, I'll be putting up pictures taken at A-Kon. Hey, at least that's better than last year. ;p Speaking of A-Kon, I want to say thanks to everyone I saw there, and to shout out to Dave from Snafu Comics and Casey of the sadly on hiatus Altermeta for a pretty awesome panel. Webcomics 101 was a blast to be a part of, and the con itself was great! So, next week, photos... and then, onwards to Stage Five! Woot! I've been thinking about the DaVinci Code, and I've come to a conclusion. I looked at all the media pretty closely, and there's only one thing that really comes to mind... I'm pretty sure it's all Magneto's fault. Preparations continue apace for A-Kon, with under a month to go now, and under two weeks to go until I'm on vacation. ^_^ I now have two weeks to complete the strips which are to run while I am away. Barring acts of God or my employers (and I don't wanna incur the wrath of either... ;p), everything should be set to run by the time I leave. Hurrah! Also, shouts and linkage go to the Vitamin Shoppe, who have been generous enough this year to provide the A-Kon Komik Market with a selection of snacks, to prevent unfortunate things like -genuinely- starving starving artists. Give 'em your support! ^-^ 100 strips! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I love milestones, and this one -especially-... been a long time now since I started, and I'm glad that the strip has lasted so long. ^-^ Especially cool is that my Editor and Secretary With A Crossbow, Jenn, commissioned me a pic to mark the occasion. Squeeeeeeeee! It's by The Z (homepage here at Ninja Monkey Studios) and it is exceedingly cool. Woo! So, yeah. 100 strips today. x.x Also, apropos of nothing... PowerPuff Girls Z! o.o Just a few weeks now to A-Kon, and to my summer vacation (the two are kind of one and the same thing. ;p) I'm trying to make sure everything runs smoothly this year... I'll hopefully be putting up a page soon with all the details of what I'll be bringing. Portfolios will be on sale again, as well as a new project for this year, which I'm not -quite- ready to show off yet. Also, I'm going to try... really -try- to make sure that this year while I'm away, there are enough updates- and that they all -go- up, unlike last year when the server melted down just before I had to leave. ;p Busy stuff, but it should be good! ^_- Only one topic to cover this week... for anyone who hasn't heard by now. Palladium Games, makers of RIFTS and numerous other RPGs, is in some deep financial trouble. Not the 'our products aren't selling' kind of trouble. Somehow, someone has screwed them over. Now they're asking for help. It's something I think a lot of people will want to know about, so, I'm helping to spread the word. If you like Palladium Games and want to help them recover, go take a look. Hopefully, with assistance, they can get back to normal. Mmm. Easter. Time of food. Went to my parents for a meal, as is normal. After dinner, the cloth was taken off the table and replaced with scenery for a game of Warhammer 40k. I know I've mentioned the geekery of my family before, but... yeah. When I come to -think- about it, it does sound a little unusual... Incidentally, my little brother (assisted heavily by Roomie Steve) kicked my ass. Dang Tau. ;p I've not upgraded to Windows XP yet... I'm one of those people who complain about OSX and Windows XP being 'too pretty', but if anything is going to make me move up to it, it's this... AOL's In2TV pages are showing some of Warner's back catalogue of TV shows... including Freakazoid! C'mon, man! Freakazoid! On your computer! How cool -is- that? ^_^ ... This is only the second time in the history of the comic where I've decided that if I ever try to do something like this page again, I should be clubbed to death with my own drawing board. ^_^; Suffice it to say that every part of working on this one took a very, very long time, it's up late and my arm has a cramp. But I kinda like how it came out, even if it is -very- wordy. ^_^ (falls over) oww... Some people call their mothers and hear complaints that they don't have a girlfriend yet, or that they never became a lawyer. I call my mother and have her complain that I play Imperial Guard in Warhammer 40k and not Orks. It's... different. ;p Oh, and also- as I have been reminded by Roomie Steve, and because I had told myself that I would do this... here is what I look like having gone from zero to one hundred miles an hour in two point five seconds. (grins) And plot continues. ^_^ I wanna say Happy Birthday today to my Secretary with a Crossbow Jenn, who doesn't get to hear enough how much she helps with the comic, how generally awesome she is and how glad I am to have her around. And since I have this space, I can. ^_^ Happy Birthdaaayyy! ^_^ (grinhugs) Well, A-Kon is approaching again. This year, the table is already paid for (thanks Kristina for that. ^_^), and things are moving apace... I still hafta send some details off to the organisers to let them know about myself... which involves deciding how much I wanna do this year... but I am optimistic. Even have an idea for something nifty to take to the con this year, if I can get the help of other people on it. It's a multi-person project, and of course it can be hard to get everyone involved at the same time. But I'll see what I can do. ^-^ Hopefully, we should be able to show up with something cool. ;p Pretty happy with how this one came out. ^-^ While I was working on the comic today, I got a call from my little brother, asking if I can show him how to assemble and paint his Warhammer 40k Tau army. (sniffs) I'm so proud! (grins) Another comic! Don't worry- there's s'more action coming up soon too. (grins) The story of my geekery continues. I've picked up both some Collateral damage boosters (some nice looking stuff in there this time, and the figure distribution seems to be better than it was when I quit Heroclix for a while. I also picked up a few packs of the CoH cardgame, which is especially impressive. It manages to really capture the feel of City of Heroes quite effectively, which is no mean feat for a cardgame. I envision myself spending too much on them in the forseeable future. ;p First of all... sorry to anyone who had problems with the site over the last week. My old hosts (Bounceweb, heretofore referred to as 'Not to be touched with a bargepole') once again decided to do something unusual to my file structure. Since whenever that happens the site breaks, and since they have tended to do it at the worst possible times, I have decided to leave them behind and instead take the hosting of the rather nice people at IX webhosting. So far, so good. ^__^ Other than that, not a lot is happening... allthough it must be said, the new DC Heroclix set looks rather cool. Woooot! (grins) Comic made, in spite of power cuts and phone calls and bears, oh my! Rachel is wearing a 'Snakes Flying a Plane' T-Shirt, available from TopatoCo, which I think is awesome but which my Editor is threatening to kill me for. ^_^; All the same, buy a shirt... I'm not affiliated, but I think they're cool, and I'm hoping Jeffrey Rowland won't sue me for using the design here or anything. ;p An update on the update schedule! ;p A while back, I said that sometime soon, I wanted to use the extra time I now had to go back to updating the comic twice weekly rather than just once. I had a nice schedule set for how that'd work. It was beautiful, really it was. The day after I posted that, my boss asked me if I wanted to take on some extra work. ;p The upshot of that is that I've almost totally gone back to working 5 day weeks, with an unpredictable midweek schedule. I still want to go back to twice-a-week updates... and as it stands right now, I still plan to... but I'm not totally sure as to when that will be. It depends on the fragile balance between free time and money for stuff like going to A-Kon. ^-^; All the same, hopefully, more updates soon. Or at least, more updates on the updates soon. ;p Ew. Exploding metahuman. ;p I'm kind of playing with ideas again here, as to how I show some of the background to the setting. It's one of those annoying problems... how do you explain things in a setting that are just so accepted that nobody really talks about them anymore? Hopefully I'm doing okay. ^-^ Did somebody say 'Backstory'? ;p In other news this week, a friend of mine who is amazingly talented in the field of geneology decided to use my woefully sketchy details to start going back through my family tree. With some degree of success. After a long period of not knowing, I now have the name of my paternal Great-Grandfather. It's 'Heman'. Not Herman... Heman. We have proof of this, in more than one location. ... I'm a direct male descendant of... Heman. Well, a Heman, anyway. There are some things in life that you just can't beat. ;p I'm starting to get the feeling that the worse I feel when I put a comic together, the happier I am with how it turns out. Felt slightly off color again while I was doing the comic (yay, Winter. ('niffles)) but I really feel pleased with it. You'd think feeling sub-par would make things harder, logically. ;p Maybe I should start drop something heavy on my foot the next time I get writer's block or something... it could do wonders. ^-^ And Stage Four has begun!
The plot is now just about starting to move at a decent pace again... but to my mind, still not fast enough. Because of this, I've been tossing the idea around for a while of returning to two strips a week, Wednesday and Saturday, especially since my new, more laid back work schedule will let me do so. So, ideally before too long... I'm not planning to try twice weekly this time before I have a buffer... but before too long, there will be double the comic. Hopefully, this will be a good thing and let the story move a little more freely. (grins) Oh, and thanks hugely to everyone who has been voting for the comic! Great work, guys! ^-^ Happy new year, folks! New year, and the end of stage three. The next stage... and some more comic-related news... is forthcoming! How's that for the start of a new year? (grins) Blerg. ;p
This comic was created under the influence of varying waves of nausea or dizziness that seemed to pass over me during the day. Such things do not make for easy working.
Oddly, in spite of that, I'm really pleased with how this came out. Hurrah! Now hopefully the dizzy will go away. Please. ;p
So, lately I've been having trouble sleeping. Not a big thing, more my body's way of complaining about the fact that half the week I go to sleep late, and the other half I need to be sleeping by midnight, latest. So, to quit its whining and get it to do what I tell it to, I picked up some sleeping pills. So far, so simple. Only, on the back of the box, there is a warning. "Caution: May cause drowsiness." May? May cause drowsiness? I don't see this catching on with drug companies. "Aspirin- Might ease headaches, but, y'know, we're not promising anything."... "Viagra- Keep some porn handy just in case." Jeez... ;p So, I had my first taste of the -real- PVP (not the watered down friendly stuff in the arenas) in City of Villains today - which is my first taste of PVP at all... and thus far, I have to say, I love it. Spying a hero on a distant rooftop, who then leaps towards you, stuns you and keeps up the attack- having to self-heal to keep going... and getting assistance from a kick-ass teammate at just the right time... it's pretty exhilarating. Looking forwards to more if it stays as good as that. Of course, I have zone broadcast turned off. I think that helps the overall atmosphere of PVP in the game. ;p You probably, if you read what I write down here, will have noticed me waiting for - then frothing over - The Movies. And yes, I'm sorry. But I'm gonna froth a little more. Kind of. ;p
After a few weeks work, Geek Asylum studios' first film is up. Six and a half minutes long, fully voice acted (starring SWAC Jenn and... well, pretty much starring most of the people who regularly make comments in the shoutbox, actually. ;p) and full of B-Movie goodness, it's up on The Movies Online as I type.
Enjoy! Hopefully... ^_^; (and any feedback, on The Movies Online or in the Shoutbox, will be happily received if you feel so inclined. ;p )
There is new art within the 'art' section! It is immensely cute, and I have SWAC Jenn to thank for it. ^-^ In other news- Language is officially weird. Midway through the week, I was browsing through my usual webcomics when I saw a small ad underneath the Shoutbox on Ugly Hill. It read, in its entirety: "Chitika eMiniMalls. Monetize your website or blog. Sign up now." Two things hit me. One was that I understood the message totally. The other is that this one short piece of copy was so full of neologisms that, even 20 years ago, most of it would be utterly incomprehensible to anyone reading it. I mean, no surprise that the web has created its own terminology, but to see it boiled down to something so concise, yet so strange... just really kinda hit me. ;p Still. At least I still know what it means. Doesn't put me in the 'too damn old' column -yet-. ^_^ -Jon
