KOL's DIY ethic always makes me feel like "hey, I could do this". And its permanent "work-in-progress" status is also inspirational, because the idea of having to release something polished is one of those perennial deraillers. Or derailleurs.

Some more customization is in order, especially for all the default messages, but it's up and running. <a href="http://realfake.org/forum" rel="nofollow">Here</a>. (In other words, registering for a forum now will create the login that you will eventually be able to use for Exquisite Corpse. Get your low IDs now!). Ok, PhpBB is definitely going to be OK.

Lordy. Me neither.

Probably a week before the PA trip. But and I've found that for personal software projects (as in many other things) once a hiatus goes on long enough, that's equivalent to a derailing. Hence my mentioning it here, which is a heretofore untried way of preventing a derailing. Doug, I got as far as actually having a login mechanism, and was about to get on with a registration, but what sort of stopped me was the realization that what I also wanted was a place to have background chatter. And there is just no way on earth that I am writing my own bulletain board or forum software. So what I'm thinking of doing now is just installing PhpBB, and use its user tables. But if that turns out to be cumbersome, I may take you up on your offer... I guess it was two weeks ago when I stopped working on it. Probably a week before the PA trip.

Was it really three weeks ago? It seems like you were working on it more recently than that. Oh, and I didn’t know your latest attempt was derailed. Was it really three weeks ago?

OK... ENCOURAGEMENT. Maybe Greg needs something to do on whatever island he's on at the moment. Do I need to put my encouragement here? OK… ENCOURAGEMENT.
