Well, I just thought that I could inform you that I've reopened my old ascii art gallery.

It's now at http://thunder.prohosting.com/~mtl82/

jgs and all, update your links on your pages, please :)

This site has a bunch of empty pages, just like your old one. Why not
get rid of all the blank pages and just keep the ones that actually
have ascii art?

Speaking of updating your links on your pages, will you please change
the link you have to my page? I am no longer at GeoCities
(SoHo/Studios/9334/)

My address is now

http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/



NOTE: I rarely pick up my mail from the idirect address. If you
are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Lliz, I heard Lycos or Hotbot (one of them) updated recently. Is your
site changed with them now?

Yes, Lau, I'm pleased to report that Altavista, Lycos, Netscape, HotBot
have fixed the link to go to the crosswinds site.

Excite and Yahoo! haven't changed. Yahoo! only has a few artists listed
(7) and I am not one of them. I am only listed in their animation
section with the GeoCities address.

I just looked at the last 20 referrers (26 October to 29 October) to the
GeoCities site and the following sites STILL have links to the GeoCities
site.

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/6446/spnkdiv4.htm
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/6446/indexjs.htm (8 hits)


As I said earlier, I have been rather outspoken in my criticism of
GeoCities' advertising and html coding techniques. I don't know how long
they will allow what's left of that page to remain. Do you recognize any
of those URLs as being yours? I urge you to fix those links so you won't
have dead links on your pages.

There are still a number (over 100) sites out there that link to the
SoHo/Studios/9334 site. (I will not list all those sites....) My old
GeoCities site is not being updated! That site is basically empty. My
new crosswinds site IS being updated....

My new address is

http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/

Make sure you remove the 2 if you see www2 in your link.

The new altavista portal site sucks, really. Still, I don't usually see it
since I use the text-only version and have it 'wired in' to my browser, so I
can type:
? stuff to search for
in my browsers location bar and it will search on the Altavista plain-text
'just the results' search :o)

Oh dear... uumm... ObASCII.......
