Looks like we're famous in Germany ;-)

Updates turned off

Don't get me wrong, this was fun. I've learned a lot about linux, html, css, about the command line, ssh tunnels, scp, and a ton of other stuff. It feels though like I was never online often enough, and in particular I never hung out in the IRC channel for very long. So I wasn't really part of that small community that has (by all appearances) formed here. It's been a ton of fun and I'm sure I'll log on here again from time to time, but all good things come to an end and I'll conserve CPU cycles for the rest of the tilde.townies by turning off my cron jobs. Cel will forever have the last word on IRC, and it's fittingly incomprehensible. I have taken what I learned here and am in the process of setting up a webserver for my BF's small business. Nicely from scratch. Have fun, boys and girls!

Famous last words

Find them here. Using jumblesale's IRC log, this is the last word on IRC at the moment. (Updated every 20 minutes.)

Stuff

Who links to whom on tilde.town?

Find out here.

The Webring

The webring has really taken off! Joining instructions are here. Todo: take a look at the code on the github repository.

IRC stuff

No offense, irsii, but IRC is much more convenient and fun if you can use a client running on your own machine. All you have to do is set up an ssh tunnel, like so.
~jumblesale is logging the IRC channel -- so you don't have to have your client running the whole time to read back! The log is at /home/jumblesale/irc/log
Try this: tail -f /home/jumblesale/irc/log
Bots! There seem to be several. Have to find out more.

Tilde search

Over at retronet, qqwy has made a search engine that searches across the tildeverse!

Tilde.town logo

Inspired by ~um's usenet post, and after suggestions from ~karlen, I made this. And here is shanx' version.

Just before usenet went down because we ran out of disk space on the server (DON'T PANIC, I'm sure it'll get fixed, and take a look if you've got any huge files in your home directory), ~aisthemata posted a much better version.

Also really cool: ~nossidge's version.

Stuff I made

Random link to a tilde.town user, and a list of all users online on a separate page here. Feel free to embed any of them on your own page.
I made my first page.
Figured out how to tunnel from my Mac to tilde.town over SSH so that I can use an IRC client running on my Mac. Next, I turned it into a little bash script that sets up the tunnel and launches the app. Finally, I discovered that shankx had already posted instructions. But it's nice to find out things for yourself! ;-)
Pretty (?!) colours. Just playing around a bit, now I may have to actually find out about the theory...

Other things of note

A spinning ASCII cow. Awesome.

Over at squiggle.city, there's an arcade!
Browsers stopped supporting the <blink> tag. There's a workaround.
