This is a read-only copy. The forum ran on iamcal.com from 2000 until its database was lost in 2016, and this topic was rebuilt from copies saved by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Some replies may be missing.

Weebl has updated his pie animation for bastille day.

This site has the lyrics to all the pixies songs, including translations.

Make your weblog more accessible. Like by having our new 404 page.

"Twenty-eight days... six hours... forty-two minutes... twelve seconds. That... is when the world... will end."

BBC copies pixelflo (sort of) with playable cult trumps.

Sand sculptures are cool. My sand-castles were never this good. Not even close.

omg I want to be able to build sand castles like that!!!
Posted by cal, 09:16, 15th July 2002:
 
i assume the way to do it is to mix glue with sand. wallpaper paste perhaps. or maybe they just start with huge blocks of sand stone

Better idea for the 404 page - let them build it themselves in a spampad stylee...
Posted by cal, 12:47, 15th July 2002:
 
that's an interesting idea

Those sandcastles - if the make them with paste and stuff it would be easier, but how do they make the snow ones?

with white pva?

Matt- cool idea!

How about a dedicated 404 spampad-like thing, where anyone can make different 404s (or just one of their own?), and getting the dreaded "page not found" on the site shows you a random user-created one from the selection?

SORRY! Page not found. Try searching, or contact Cal about the error. In the mean time, here is <user> to console you with some words of wisdom:

<blah>

[edit: whoops, stupid < >]

that sounds cool - how about doing that sort of interactivity everywhere instead - some sort of sub headline on every page that's user cusomtisable.

like on the now defuct g4cube.co.uk (by me) and anglepoised.com

Personally, I think the title tagline (back to basics) should be trawled from a random user selection...
Posted by ell, 19:52, 15th July 2002:
 
Such as:

nov: we all already imagine you naked when we read your posts
Posted by cal, 08:40, 16th July 2002:
 
i was thinking that, but then it would throw off search engines and be a bit confusing. maybe it should rotate monthly, and people can submit new taglines. the nov one looks like a winner ;)
Posted by ell, 14:20, 17th July 2002:
 
Sounds funky.
Posted by cal, 14:22, 17th July 2002:
 
okay. i'll take your nov one as an entry. anyone else?

maybe i should start an appeal thread
Posted by ell, 14:46, 17th July 2002:
 
good idea.

That nov: we all already imagine you naked when we read your posts one was said by you, you do realise?
Posted by cal, 14:50, 17th July 2002:
 
but you suggested it as a tagline
