I'm not one to quibble but after co-designing and maintaning several commercial websites, there's one point of contention with the design of this site's home page (the one after the entrance, with our 'coat of arms'). It's set up so that the entire page cannot be viewed on most screens. Most users has to scroll down to get to the nav bar. Considering how simple the layout of the page is, that seems to be a major design flaw. Is there any way that the home page can be redesigned so that at can all be seen on a single average monitor screen? I'm sure there is. Greg?

That technology doesn't exist yet. Stop having these bad dreams.

You know what else would be cool? A nice flash opening. There was that ninja film you made at Battery Davis where one of us got kicked in the junk - was it Lance kicking Legbone? I can't remember. But imagine that converted to a flash animation to replace our rather tired industrial warning signs. Those signs are only funny to set carpenters anyway, you know. But a kick to the junk? Always funny. It's like an eternal truth.
I've been thinking about our motto, something we've put off for oh, twenty years now. What do you think of 'kick to the junk'? What would that be in latin, I wonder. laedo gonadus?

Go to sleep? You've got way too much free time to ponder the imponderables.
How about who actually even uses that page? Doesn't everyone just come to the forum?
Yes, Dan went down with a kick to the junk.
Okay, I'm thinking about it. . . . Damn your eyes!

Drunk monk kicks Grandmaster Tu in the junk....funny
Lance kicks Legbone in the junk...priceless.
Meanwhile, think about putting a topmost nav bar on the home page. You'll feel so much better if you did that.

Let's see, I have to chop up the tree that fell on the house during the windstorm. I have to manage my anger over my current work environment (not the funny haha kind of anger that works so well in Trenches) I have to finish my course on Adobe Photoshop CS2, so I can get rid or do something with the massive box of photos I'm scanning. I have to paint the kitchen. Then I have to relearn Flash, php and dreamweaver. The new website will be up right after that. Unless some other crisis intervenes.

Every man thinks his burden is the heaviest. You must have some free time or you wouldn't be posting on the net.

I don't think my burdn is heavy at all.
I fix Dell computers that are assembled by 11 year old starving peasants in Malaysia.
I think I got the cushy part of the deal.

Although I have gone through the galleries recently. Just so you know, we are not a handsome bunch and we are not getting any better.
And what makes the eleven of us so wanted that I get hit by the porn spammers everyday to become members? It's either Cranefly or Legbone and Legbone hasn't been on for a while.
I'm getting a lot of underage chat rooms . . . .

That's really weird Greg. At Kungfumagazine.com, we get our share of spammers, but nothing on the scale that you report. It's either carryover from the proximity to gaming with our title, or something to do with your machine.

And why do they persist? We're back to the lolita pages. Why do they haunt me? Hmm? It's got to be one guy who keeps at it, hoping some day I'm going to let him post. Then the whole edifice will dissolve into some Johnny come lately.

It's obviously you. It's something to do with what you're doing on your machine. You got some wicked cookies or something. Stop looking at so much porn on the net, Greg. No wonder the other forums crashed...
