usual warnings, disclaimers, blah blah, let's make Peter
happy since the gothcode was his idea.
Remember to make better page since people are actually USING this now.
Thank you for your
GothCode, Peter.
(November 17/1997) Danny Barnhoorn informs me that he's written a
Goth enCoder
in javascript. I've yet to try it; for my excuses why, please give to
the "Give Moses an Internet Connection" fund, and give generously.
(March 30/1998) Okay okay, I've seen it. Did I get anything for the "GMIC"
fund? Not a sausage, nor any email. I had to go get employment, damnit!
If you want to make sure, Gothcode 3.0 and Gothcode 3.1 are availible at Peter T. Caffin's GothCode homepage. (local copies removed at Caffin's request)
Oh, and some samples follow. If you read the source for this document, you can see how you too can have a button that translates your GothCode on demand.
Ladies, gentlemen and those of indeterminate gender, welcome to a web page made so people could use it's contents, not to convince you that I'm cool. No ActiveX, no advertising banners, no damnable hostlists. Not even a link to my homepage -- you're intelligent, you can find me easily.
I'm on my soapbox because I want more people to publish matter instead of form. It occurs to me that people who will read this much text (instead of the equivalent 70x70 GIF decoration) already think that what the web has to say is more vital than how the web looks. Don't be a www-luddite; that just alienates people (as I may have), but please encourage web and 'zine authors to find their personal voice and SAY something instead of playing with pretty pictures, clipart or canned javascript.
