Too Busy For Words - the PaulWay Blog

Too much time, too little gain?

My 'home' home page - http://tangram.dnsalias.net/~paulway/ - has, for a while now, had the appearance of an old greenscreen monitor playing a text adventure. Since it's more or less just a method for me to gather up a few bits and pieces that I can't be bothered putting up on my regular page - http://www.mabula.net - I'm not really worried by creating a work of art.

But, the temptation to carry things too far has always been strong within me. So, of course, the flashing cursor at the end of the page wasn't good enough on its own: I had to have an appropriate command come up when you hovered over the link. After a fair amount of javascript abuse, and reading of tutorials, I finally got it working; I even got it so that the initial text (which has to be there for the javascript to work) doesn't get displayed when the document loads.

Score one for pointless javascript!
