,,things,,they are a changing,,but not the way board life goes or my pc situation so far.
Hi ya'll!
Thanks for clicking in.
Since the tally broke the 5000 mark there's been a steady decline. Allthough the pg vw counter has not dropped below 4000 they have dipped into the high 4100's.I came into this month with 4672 and the vw total when I came on to post this was 103 showing a sofar high of 4179.
Even though I have been astounded that I've received as many veiws as I have been getting with virtually no new stuff in so long,,the fact I've gotten so many lately,,let alone 5000+,,just blows me away!
I have to say,,thank you,thank you,thank you,,and I would repeat that several times,,but after doing it in those previous posts I realize now it just looks,,at best,,silly,,and at worst,,sorta like disengenuous overkill,,so instead I will just go ahead and give you folks part 30 of Wee!Gee!
Here:
https://royharbin.tripod.com/id60.html
Yeah,,I finally got another one out of me.
I thought I was going to go ahead and bang out 31,,but that didn't happen.
But,,,I did manage to get the first 29 parts,the intro,,and a forward into paper form and make it available,,in the same unedited form as you find online here at my site,,for purchase online.(If anyone wants to start collecting,these are gonna be the 'trial',,and therefore,,limited editions.~hint~hint~wink~wink~smile~)
There are currently 3 forms ready.They are not the finalized versions.One is a typical 'perfect bound' paperback,,one is a larger formatted 'spiral' bound form,,not unlike a school notebook,,and the third is like a pamphlet,,'saddlestitch' bound,,the size of a paperback with 50 pages.
The paperback and large form have the first 29 parts(Volume 1).The small booklet has the intro thru part 5 and the rest will follow in an 'episodic' serial format which means that depending on how many 'parts' will fit the 50pg restriction I am currently unsure how many 'parts' may be in any particular episode.
They are,essentially just the results of the process I had to go thru to figure out how to get them properly into a form to publish using the service.
That involved converting the text from the html pages online (since I no longer had access to them in the pc they were wrote in) into text in this pc, (which meant I had to download them using a dialup connection) then into pdf form,then uploading them to the publishing port.(again,,using dialup,,aaargh!!)
To do that,,since I do not have a pdf writer prog,,I first sought out an online converting service and found several.
Since that turned into something not doable,,or maybe I should say,inadequate for my needs since I wound up with graphics from the webpages,,including the banner ads as well as the text and they would only be printed in black and white,so,,well,,I didn't want that even for rough editions,,and it made the pdf file's HUGE,I had to back up and try something I was reluctant to do,,go find a downloadable free converter prog.
After searching around a bit,,I found several to try.After waiting much more than a bit for them to download(dialup,aargh!) I wound up using pdf995 and was quite pleased with the results,,so far.
Of course,,the publishing port required cover graphics,,so I had to make and fit those.(That's why there are more than one version of covers right now.)
Anyone want to check out those progs I found,,I will be posting links to them on one of the links pages I have later.
I will do some better ones later.Ideally by hand,,with paper,penils and or inks.(I am much better with that stuff than I can ever be with any programs I've met sofar)Those will be scenes or what have you from the story itself most likely.
And even tho it may only be doable in black and white with these folks,,,I do believe I will be making an illustrated version later.Yeeehaaaw!!A graphic novel!
All this is just prepping me for turning out the novel that I posted a piece from in an earlier blog entry in a professional manner right off the bat when I get it finished.
Now,,THAT story will most likely make a much better graphic novel than Wee!Gee!,,more straight up action and different visuals will be involved.
That same place that offers the 'publishing service',,CafePress, also allows for providing apparel and merchandise with custom imprints online.
I've had the set up going for a while(01) but was only using it to show clients,,in person,,what either I could do for them,,or what they could do themselves,,and/or what the items they wanted would look like(as a visual regardless of using cpress or another) and had intended to eventually make up a bunch of hi quality designs in a laid out and organized fashion to offer thru there and use it as an online department for my biz R&D Studios(cc&ss).
But since I have the book thing ready now and a certain Excite board poster wanted a certain design for a t design that many another citizen may wish to own,,I decided to open it up to all those folks who may come through here now.
Mainly,,right now,,there are items with our logos and pieces from the logos on them.Yet there is more than one section and a 'nook' for the book,,and future ones too.
As a matter of fact,,one section is named for,,or in honor of,if you prefer,,and I just like the name,,the poster I mentioned.
That poster goes by the nic 'psychotiki' but since I really only like calling folks I think are psycho 'psycho' I tend to refer to the poster,,a she,,as just 'tiki'.
Yep,,the section is called,,The Tiki Room and is intended to fullfill an extremists desires.
Okay,,I just really did that 'cause she has a pretty little puss.
And I only know she does because she posted pics of it on her excite profile.
~winkin' & smirkin' at tiki while wondering how many will vist her profile page now~
To get to those places and see the main pages pictured items,click ~> here <~
Ahhh,,speaking of the board I've come to refer to as Excitesovainia (t's available soon),,that place hasn't changed.Well,not for the better anyway.Like my p.c. situation,,it works,,but is frustrating,,needs major improvements and ultimately leaves a lot to be desired.
What do I mean?
Well,,for me at least,,a conversation can only occur when two parties are involved,,(I'm not counting when your 'nagger' chimes in,,that's just you,,for most folks. ~yikes~),,so when I ask questions,,pertinent to the topic,as 'counterpoint' or that grew out of the discussion,,I do expect a reasonablely intelligent,not very insane,honest minded person to respond with at least an attempt at an answer.
And as far as I can tell,,that's what a conversation,,and a dicussion or debate is to the vast majority of folks in this world.
Yet,,for me,,on that board,,that rarely occurs.
Here's some examples of what I am talking about:
~> Meanwhile,,back on the boards,, <~
(Oh,,and you'll see the light I left on for nybrit through that link too.)
Most of the time,,it seems to me that people simply have no regard for the words that they type after they utter them.
Heck,,in real 'offline' life as well for that matter,it isn't restricted to that board by any means.And it isn't exactly a new phenomena either.So that means it isn't a straight symptom of MMS but a widespread characteristic of the general population.
I suppose it's much easier on those kinds of folks offline since once you speak it,,it's gone.Online it can be ccp'ed.
I wonder if our public educational system had anything to do with that?
(You'd think more would at least understand how the words they type don't go away like those spoken)
I'm sure many would argue it is the 'entertainment medias' influence causing it.
(Of course,,the arguement could be nade that IT does what it does because most of those that are involved with or run it are also products of the aforementioned system.)
Yet,,we all could do without as much of it being present no matter where it originates,,right?
Personally,,I think the world would be a whole lot better off with a whole lot less of that being in it.
Considering that sort of question among the many types found in life inspired this section,,check it out:
~> Reminders Series <~
(*At least the man has those 3 things correct.
I wonder if he applies them to himself?
Only time will tell more than what we have seen allready in that regards,won't it?*
I'm only answering my own questions because I'm mono-bloggin' here ya'll,,not having a discussion.~smile~)
IF ya wanna say something tho,,feel free to ccp my word's and take them to the Excite boards,,my boards or this comment form here at this site,,your email service or you can even tickle that little thingie down at the right corner of this post and let me know what ya think or want to say.(Or what ya may want a shirt or other item to say or show as far as that goes.IOW,,'buy my butter'.~smile~)
Regardless of all that,,thanks for visiting this time,and,,,
Ya'll come back,now,y'hear?!
