I'm glad! I want to encourage anyone to write about websites they like, whether it's old or new. I started writing about old websites I have a special feeling towards, but it's evolving into the idea of writing about things people talk about on their websites; their blogs, etc, someone's website layout and how it looks, or what I like about someone's website

I really feel as if you make a personal connection to someone's website when you write about them, compared to leaving a like or a small comment that the social media world gives you. And that can be good, don't get me wrong. But the person you write about might feel acknowledged; I feel when you write about them, you can encourage them to keep doing what they love. That's one of the best things you could ever do. —

— Not only you would motivate them, but you would encourage others to check out their website too! I could be wrong, but I've never seen people do this sort of thing...... from what I've seen. But if it's something you want to do too, go ahead! Thinking about that makes me excited to see what people write about

Was replying to @lemerks about this...... until I figure out a good place on my 'site to put this, I want to share it here! If you want to write one of these things: — (they call them "em dashes"), I've got a script on my computer that does this! I use a program for Windows called "AutoHotkey", if I press and hold down [ALT + -] (the regular en dash you're used to) at the same time, it'll make one of — these guys!

You'll make an .ahk file with this inside as the contents: !-:: { Send "—" }

radicalblur's avatar radicalblur 1 week ago

^ A file with just that inside, exactly like that! http://www.autohotkey.com — I use the 2.0 version I've got to figure out a way to do the same thing with a similar program on Linux; it's a Windows program................

I hope this helps others who really want to write — one of these things And if there's a more practical way of doing it and if there's a better way of doing this, let me know! We all learn from each other

Was updating some links and......... Neocities updated their tutorials! CSS.... even JAVASCRIPT?! Heck yeah! https://yorniq.xyz/tutorials Don't know if they still have the comic they made to illustrate it all though. If they got rid of that, me sad :(

@goopatheguick I've taken the tutorial before when I first started and it really just went over some basic concepts of HTML...... and that was okay! 'Specially because it was at that time where I didn't know absolutely ANYTHING about HTML.................... which still surprises me of how long it's been But I bet I'd recommend it to anyone now who wants to make a 'site -

radicalblur's avatar radicalblur 2 weeks ago

or learn more of how to make a 'site since it's got updated!

lemerks's avatar lemerks 1 week ago

this is gonna be very useful. Although I think the tutorial with the comic is only when you first sign up?

@lemerks I've been on here for two years at this point (still surprised) and I did see the comic tutorial when I was on here before the whole dark mode and search engine update, there's times I would just look back at it for fun, it was just on that same page. It actually used to be: https://yorniq.xyz/tutorial but they added an 's' to the URL!

Want to ask you this because you really have been here and on the web for an extremely long time: How was RealPlayer for you? It was one of the ways people could have shared videos online back in those times....... compared to putting a whole video file on a web page nowadays which I'm so happy that we can even do now! But we all didn't have the speeds we have now in those times, so people had to stream them....... -
radicalblur's avatar radicalblur 2 weeks ago

- through a freeware program........ I've been thinking of making part of my 'site or a seperate one that uses a table layout and older things for fun, I was thinking of putting Real Media files on there. Definitely wouldn't use 'em on my main 'site and *mainly* use RealPlayer.... no. Been wondering what people's experiences were with it long ago and thought: why not ask you?

In those times, due to where I lived, internet was slow and expensive. Another factor was that I was poor, and computers were expensive back then, which meant all I had was a knock-off Pentium II clone that could barely play a GIF file. Mid-1998 the internet speed was 33,6kpbs here, so video sharing was deemed basically a non-starter.

Early in 2000 I was finishing my work-back period at the state owned telco. I used that last opportunity before I left, to download the Sonic OVA, it took an excruciating 14 hours overnight to pull down a 266Mbyte 640x480 video compressed with MPEG-4, and when I got it my computer didn't have the grunt to play it. During 2003-2004 we got our anime, movies everything from LANs and/or anime screening weekends

In 2005 broadband internet arrived, albeit <1MBps... and with ridiculous data caps of 3GBytes. But there were ways and means to bypass it, and that we did... And then came YouTube.. 2008 was when I got into it really

And now we have 400/400Mbps optical fiber into my home... but I don't take it for granted because I remember the times when my lousy, slow, internet connection COST MORE than this state-of-the-art

@sonic2k Thank you so much for telling me about this! I've always heard and known about clones of electronics but I haven't even heard of clones of CPUs before? I guess you could only load web pages with text & images to a point..... and there was the option to disable images and scripts built into browsers or separate extensions

radicalblur's avatar radicalblur 2 weeks ago

I bet that felt really good to be able to download the whole Sonic OVA at your workplace at the time, or if I'm misconceptioning; they provided you internet at home. But sad that you didn't have enough computer power to play it :( Anyone can overlook at how MPEG-4 can run fine and play on any computer nowadays, but codecs are powerful, complicated things

radicalblur's avatar radicalblur 2 weeks ago

Were the data caps from the ISP? Wondering how that worked..... that's great you were able to get past it And nowadays with fiber internet, we people get frustrated and spoiled when we're downloading from a slow server!

Excited to see this 'site evolve!
