Added lazy filler pages for the forthcoming Red Forest/Macula's Maze/Quarry sections, added a big GET ON IRC blurb to the Portal, added a new Affiliate, added a glorious Chibi Son Goku UNDER CONSTRUCTION image from an unknown website that vanished a decade back, and started doing some work to get the website to be XHTML validated. Exciting, I know.

Put an invitation to my unofficial Neocities IRC channel - #Neocities on IRC.Rizon.net - along with a Mibbit link ( https://chat.mibbit.com/?url=irc%3A%2F%2Firc.rizon.net%2Fneocities ) for folks who don't use IRC clients to the Portal and the Wildcat Den, and added a goofy recent dream to the Somnium. Stop into #Neocities and say hi! Ɑ:

Alright, if anyone wants to chat on IRC, I set up a general Neocities channel at #Neocities in IRC.Rizon.net. Be sure to check out @Lolwut's personal channel, #lolwut on the same server!

Here's a Mibbit (Web-based chat client) link for anyone who can't get on via a regular IRC client: https://chat.mibbit.com/?url=irc%3A%2F%2Firc.rizon.net%2Fneocities

The channel might not always be active (IRC tends towards "competitive idling") but I will make a point of being around from at least 1730 to 2230 EST (5:30 PM to 10:30 PM.)

Same here. I was a heavy user from ~2002 to ~2015. @lolwut recently started an IRC channel for his website's visitors and I was thinking it'd be nice to have a general Neocities community IRC channel perhaps. It's a objectively superior and freer platform than discord (@spyware has taken pains to explain the problems with it) and a fitting place for a chatroom for this community, IMO.

I'm glad you're interested in the idea! I have a server that's mostly set up for the sole purpose of being connected to IRC 24/7 but has been derelict ever since the network adapter stopped working. I'm going to try to fix that some time this week and then set up a channel somewhere.

Added a "Free Palestine" button to my sidebar. Feel free to use, no credit needed. Please spread the word on the ethnic cleansing currently being perpetrated by Israel. The Nakba never ended.

Added analyses of the Sisters of Mercy songs "Flood II" and "Susanne" to the Reptile House, and replaced the sidebar on the Town of ZZT with a funky custom one that better suits the section's design.

Woa your Sisters of Mercy write up is incredible. And I really feel a vibe in the design that’s faintly reminiscent of the album covers and the MIDI is awesome. I was a big fan of old school goth when I was younger and used to have most of their albums on vinyl though I never did a deep exploration of lyrical content and I love all of the research you did.

Just in general, your writing is really really good, I really feel a sense of strength and coherency in the way you express yourself. Sorry to read about the loss of your friend :( I love the conversation about the ocean as a living promordial womb.

just this one seentence was a bit confusing: "I have decided to dedicate this song to my personal interpretations of some of their songs"

Thank you so much for your very kind feedback! I'm very grateful both that you read it and that you liked it! Sisters of Mercy definitely has some surprisingly complicated lyrics, and I love how it feels like I'm solving a riddle trying to understand them.

It's very cool that you had the vinyl versions of their albums. And here I was thinking that I was old school for still collecting CDs, lol. I'm tempted sometimes to start collecting vinyls too. Thank you for catching that typo! I meant to write "dedicate this site", but screwed up. I appreciate you catching that. I re-read most of what I write many times, but unfortunately I am abysmal at catching my own typos.

Look forward to reading more lyrical explorations. I've had Sisters songs goign through my head since last night, I love the line "like a healing hand" in This Corrosion, and that music video, so f-ing good. I got a lot of vinyl in the 90's for pennies when it wasn't cool for a while and everyone was buying CD's.

If you do switch to vinyl it will blow your mind, it's such a deeper and more soulful listening experience..

@fragmentandreflect Thank you! I'm glad someone else likes these lyrical explorations! I like to listen to Sisters of Mercy whenever I'm writing/drawing, or just in a melancholic mood. They're very cathartic, but also good at making you think. Trying out vinyl is definitely on my list of things to do eventually, as I've heard many other people make similiar comments about the sound quality.

I just thought you might like to know that a small bird has recently taken up residence in our fireplace (which we, thankfully, do not use.) I thought the bird was stuck at first and tried to open the door so that they could return outside via the house, but apparently s/he is capable of flying away. We left the bird some food and they have since returned after it started raining outside!
