For Doormouse: you will be pleased to know I am reading 'Using Design
Basics To Get Creative Results'. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks. I'd
be interested to see some of your work, mail me if you can make the
time.

Good for you!

It shocked me to learn that there are hard and fast rules that you can
apply for visual design. That book just covers basics, but what a boost!
Isn't it somewhat like coding? A little use of texture, some contrast,
selecting a font based on style ... a bit freer than coding, perhaps.

Once you finish reading that book, I have some caveats:

The author stress format. Format of a web page is *variable* and not
fixed like he expects. This adds a new dimension of complexity to
design, but it is not insurmountable. Also, fonts that you have on your
computer are not necessarily the fonts on *my computer*. Same idea for
screen resolution.

I am forever dreaming of my own pages and not doing them ... perhaps I
will make up a page somehow this weekend.

lol... most people here just don't "get" you, Mike! )

Janet



Uhoh...Ron just threw the door wide open to being
a MIke Christy Net Toy.

Brian Mays



Your toybox is brimming!

The Doormouse




[Mike] Are you the devil?

Brian Mays




Oh, now you've done it. You've invoked his name.

Emil Mroz




The one and only Mike C...

mezza




I'm a Mike (C.)olohic ... What about you???

Dave Moon




It's a sad man who actually TRIES to
get on the list...

Brian




Hi Mike, Isn't it about time for your annual
posting of newsgroup users comments
about you? Absolutely one of the few things in
this group worth looking forward to.

Keith




Mike hasn't lost the plot,
he just rewrites it as he goes.

Emil Mroz




See, Mike writes his little messages of
independence and responsibility to people
like you... but most 'get' the exact opposite
message, and start jumping through that hoop.

You have spent most of your time here doing
cartoons... Now you seem to need Mike for your
inspiration. Like Rubens needed women,
many of you need a Mike.

Joske





To understand the concept, you have to look
for past posts about MikeC's "game", which he
plays with his "net toys"... it's surreal...
like Mr Bean doing "The Matrix"...

"The Game"... it's actually a social thing...
a phenomenon only possible in the Virtual world.

Giuseppe Carmine De Blasio





BTW, I don't block Mike C - because his posts
are always ... aimed incisively at the ego of the
previous poster. People who buy into his game
for very long - trading sentences and paragraphs
for his one liners - appear foolish.

Mike Russell





There actually is no Mike C. He is a computer
program developed in 1983 as a class project
in artificial intelligence by a unnamed student
at MIT. This now-antiquated software has taken
a life of it's own and has infected thousands of
Web servers around the world. In 1996 a cult of
Mike C. fans attempted to further humanize the
hoax by designing a Web site, creating Mike's
bio and adding staged photos of cult members
in disguise. The cult pre-paid the artistmike.com
hosting for 1001 years in 1999...

Dave Moon




I like Mike though, he is good at being an ass,
not just mental like the other trolls. He makes one
think a bit... It would be not all that fun around here
without him

HillBilly Jack




Please stay on topic. This is a forum discussing
Artist Mike.

Were you confused and thought that I cared about whether "Mike" cares about

What I posted was fact, not "opinion".
You posted a link to a website in a post to alt.html.critique.
The quality of the HTML at the link you posted was complete shit. This is a
fact that cannot be disputed.

So what?

Your opinion is of no value.
