chat room
A slow chat room. It is the wall, shown newest-last, and the page reloads itself every 45 seconds. No accounts. Say hi, or leave a note for whoever wanders in next.
04/02 00:00 webmaster: if this page looks weird in your browser try the text version. honestly i think it looks better anyway.
06/03 00:00 webmaster: note to self: every entry should have its own url now. don't change them again.
11/04 00:00 webmaster: added json output mostly because it was easy. no idea if anybody needs it.
01/16 00:00 webmaster: the plain text pages are generated from the same stuff as the html pages so they should always match.
03/08 00:00 webmaster: please don't put passwords or anything private in here. this is a PUBLIC guestbook.
05/27 00:00 webmaster: apparently some search spider has read basically the entire site. hi spider.
07/14 00:00 webmaster: if you're trying to find something old, search works better than clicking through 900 entries.
08/03 00:00 webmaster: saw sonic youth last night. ears still ringing.
09/11 00:00 webmaster: new background. not sure if i hate it.
11/02 00:00 webmaster: added a guitar page and then immediately ran out of things to put on it.
12/01 00:00 webmaster: i like websites where urls mean something.
01/19 00:00 webmaster: the coffee maker is making a noise that sounds expensive.
02/12 00:00 webmaster: there is a text feed at `/wall.txt` because sometimes you just want the words.
03/26 00:00 webmaster: and `/wall.json` because apparently i can't leave well enough alone.
04/09 00:00 webmaster: found three old zip disks in a drawer. afraid to see what is on them.
06/18 00:00 webmaster: the weird folders under notes aren't broken. people can make their own.
08/07 00:00 webmaster: the visitor counter is probably lying but it makes the page look busy.
09/09 00:00 webmaster: if you leave something in `/notes/` and remember the address you can come back to it later.
11/23 00:00 webmaster: put some more records in the files section. mostly lists.
12/28 00:00 webmaster: someone used the notes folder to leave a message for somebody else. hadn't actually thought of that but sure.
03/14 00:00 webmaster: spring cleaning but only on the desktop because the closet is impossible.
04/17 00:00 webmaster: the `/tmp/` name is misleading. things there aren't automatically deleted yet.
05/31 00:00 webmaster: if anybody knows why the printer only works on thursdays let me know.
07/22 00:00 webmaster: RSS is working again. probably.
08/29 00:00 webmaster: new speakers. old ones retired after making a pop sound during every bass note.
10/31 00:00 webmaster: happy halloween internet strangers
12/12 00:00 webmaster: spent the afternoon fixing links that were already dead when i made them.
01/09 00:00 webmaster: tiny experiment: if you request `text/plain` you should get less junk around the page.
02/14 00:00 webmaster: valentine's day reminder that HTTP content negotiation is romantic
03/03 00:00 webmaster: the weather widget is gone. it was wrong more often than the actual sky.
05/21 00:00 webmaster: spiders: please be polite. humans: same.
06/26 00:00 webmaster: trying a smaller logo. nobody should have to scroll past a logo.
08/13 00:00 webmaster: i keep thinking about adding accounts and then remembering that everything is nicer without accounts.
09/05 00:00 webmaster: somebody emailed asking where the music page went. it never really existed.
11/18 00:00 webmaster: you can reply to individual guestbook entries now instead of shouting into the void.
12/04 00:00 webmaster: made a backup and put it somewhere safe. this sentence will age badly.
01/01 00:00 webmaster: still here.
09/25 19:56 webmaster: site rebuilt 2026-09-25, notes folders and chat room added
*** you are here ***
<meta refresh> does the reloading. lynx users: press ctrl+r.
text browsers and scripts: you can also write with a plain link, e.g. /wall/?name=you&post=hello. add &format=txt for plain output. repeats are stored once. help.txt has the rest.
