alt.ascii-art chat

This wonderful chaotic thing was sort of buried inside and in parallel with the chat party held around the same time. I thought it would stand out more if I put it in a file of its own.

Hello VK! Are you better?

VK [email] [home] 11 Mar. 00:12, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> Yes, quite a bit better.  :)

llizard [home] 11 Mar. 00:13, from: 216.154.11.7, blue
VK; I hope so; I hope so!  It might make you feel better to know that
it is no longer 20C here but -5C! and there is snow cover too.

llizard [home] 11 Mar. 00:14, from: 216.154.11.7, blue
VK; I'm glad to hear that. You sounded quite miserable. There's nothing
more boring than to be sick! I loathe it and am always anxious like you to be
better.

[Here's the story (as I understood it): Some guy who has heard a lot
about "open source projects" decided to make his homepage "open source"
- in the sense that he'd let his password be "public". THEN he gets
soooooo offended when people make *changes* to it (duh!), and spends
much of his time changing back to what he had before...]

llizard [home] 11 Mar. 00:18, from: 216.154.11.7, blue
VK; Whoa!!! I just turned the images on and suddenly the page isn't
black anymore but a violent yellow. (I don't quite understand yet
what the premise is)

llizard [home] 11 Mar. 00:21, from: 216.154.11.7, blue

llizard >> Just go to the Geocities homepage and log in with the user
name and password that the guy posts openly on the homepage. Then make
any change you like (such as, for example, un-yellow-ing the homepage...)

so you can do any changes/additions you like to that...)

VK; I'd forgotten how annoying Geo is to log into! I decided to change
the colours to be worse than before. I also installed the GeoBanner
so that that blasted popup wouldn't happen in NS3

for that open source page?

llizard [home] 11 Mar. 15:48, from: 216.154.12.18, blue
VK; Because the last people who went in erased it.

Krogg >> Join the fun at Geocities! There's a guy there who's been
inspired by "open source" software and decided to make an "open source"
web page (by leaving user name and password on the main page, so anybody
can go in and make any changes....).

llizard [home] 12 Mar. 18:44, from: 216.154.8.190, blue
VK; I have become addicted to the open source page. I made a few changes
to your ascii folder and added an instruction on how to keep the pages
Adbox free (adbox causes a popup in NS3)

VK [email] [home] 12 Mar. 18:48, from: 130.240.2.143, red

your additions - or removes it all! (and I don't expect the site to live
for two seconds if/when Geocities staff find out what's going on...)  :D

llizard [home] 12 Mar. 18:49, from: 216.154.8.190, blue

llizard [home] 12 Mar. 18:51, from: 216.154.8.190, blue
VK; But so far most have remained. The actual guy has left them there.
I'm hoping that he'll stop using that stupid "pagebuilder" though and
take my advice to learn HTML.

It seems like he uses an html generator to make the actual page (or
maybe I've never seen the page as he likes it to look.)

VK [email] [home] 12 Mar. 23:45, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> You probably haven't seen the page as he wants it to look.  :D

            with McDonalds?

llizard >> I have _no_ idea! (you should check up on who Emperor JB is,
he's a meower but I don't know the URL to his homepage...)

llizard [home] 12 Mar. 23:55, from: 216.154.13.151, blue
VK; hahaahahaha! I just assumed that the real page was the violent yellow
one with all the stuff about mcd's That is the one that keeps reappearing.

llizard [home] 12 Mar. 23:56, from: 216.154.13.151, blue

on it?

VK [email] [home] 12 Mar. 23:59, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> Well, there's that "Progator" guy (the one who owns the whole
thing) and then there's Emperor JB, and a whole bunch of meowers and
maybe some more people I don't know anything about... and you...  8)

llizard [home] 13 Mar. 00:01, from: 216.154.13.151, blue
VK; I've never had the images turned on for long enough to see anything
except the background image and the "Wanted for gross Stupidity"
image.

llizard [home] 13 Mar. 00:02, from: 216.154.13.151, blue
VK; Forgive my ignorance, but what is a meower?

llizard [home] 13 Mar. 00:02, from: 216.154.13.151, blue
VK; aside from the obvious four footed furry feline

VK [email] [home] 13 Mar. 00:03, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> I'm sure the Emperor has a page or five about what the McD
stuff is all about. Try looking in the bozobin link page for links to
his site...

VK [email] [home] 13 Mar. 00:03, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> For that you want the Emperor or Meow (different emperor).

llizard [home] 13 Mar. 00:05, from: 216.154.13.151, blue
VK; I see that you added the maze. (But you really should put 
<!--#geoguide--> at the bottom of each page and activate the bloody
geoguide. How I LOATHE that popup that comes if the geoguide isn't there.!)

VK [email] [home] 13 Mar. 00:14, from: 130.240.2.143, red
llizard >> I haven't done any editing of the maze. I just copied it straight
from my homepage...
