Greeting fellow ASCII-lovers(I come in peace(yakyakyak)). I have come to ask
for some people, preferably 5+ people, to put up a homepage on ASCII. It
will be at XOOM,(11 meg space) and we will apply for an e-mail account (If
asc...@hotmail.com is not taken then we'll apply for it). I need a few
things:

1 - a few people(with HTML knoledge)
2 - reccomendation on where you can get MORE than 11meg space for FREE

What will be inside:

1 - LE FastCounter(counter)

What you'll get:

1 - password to the website(if you are a member lah!)
2 - password to the e-mail(see above)

please seek permission from the team to put up a page. And, we can pass
messages to ourselves!(what ever address we get)

We have already done so (yakyakyak!). See
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2695/links.htm for further details. No
need to reinvent the wheel ...

[Rushes to Hotmail] Bahahaha, it's taken now! (... Just kidding.)

I know not this `knoledge', although verily I do know HTML 4.0 inside
and out. 'Tis strange, 'tis passing strange, this modirn speling.

> 2 - reccomendation on where you can get MORE than 11meg space for FREE

I know not this `reccomendation', either. I also know not of any
collection of ASCII art which requires more than 11 megabytes ...

Dahf! Spluff! `There have been 35 people who were silly enough to load
the counter graphic on this page. This service is provided to you
because you don't want to know.'

Ooh, goody, I want to be able to pass a message to myself one day! It'll
be like playing boomerangs!

Suddenly, I am inspired ...

This gory sequence animated for your enjoyment, now at
http://cantua.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpt26/art/ascii/pics/boomerang.htm
(requires JavaScript). Animated using the cool Analia program that was
advertised in a.a-a.a not long ago.

I'm sure Colin can oblige us with the lyrics to `My Boomerang Won't Come
Back' ...
